    DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1a, 2a and 3, the Pyro-Cube fireworks 100 includes a plurality of fireworks units 10. Each of the fireworks units 10 includes a fuse 11, a plurality of fireworks launching tubes 12, at least one male tube 13, and at least one female tube 14. The fuse 11 connects with the female tube 14. The male tube 13 and the female tube 14 are configured in a rim of the fireworks units 10. The fuse 11 connects all fireworks launching tubes 12 and the male tube 13 from the female tube 14.
  • Referring to FIG. 1c, during operations, the female tube 14 of one of the fireworks unit 10 engages with the male tube 13 of another fireworks unit 10 so as to connect the fuse 11 of one of the female tube 14 with the fuse 11 of the male tube 13 of another fireworks unit 10. In this way, the fireworks units 10 may be connected.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1a-1c and 2a-2c, in an example, each of the fireworks units 10 may include twenty-one fireworks launching tubes 12, three male tubes 13, and one female tube 14. During the operations, one of the fireworks units 10 may connect to the other one, two, or three fireworks units 10. That is, the fireworks units 10 may be configured to connect with others in a variety of ways so as to obtain diverse entertainment effects. At the same time, the cross sections of each of the fireworks units 10 may be square, prism, or circular. That is, the shapes of the fireworks units 10 may be different such that the fireworks 100 may own diverse entertainment effects.
  • Referring to FIGS. 2a-2c, the female tube 14 includes a hollow first paper tube 142. The first paper tube 142 includes a first nozzle 140 arranged in a bottom of the first paper tube 142. That is, the female tube 14 is cylinder-shaped. The male tube 13 includes a second paper tube 132 and a spurt 134. The spurt 134 protrudes from a top of the second paper tube 132. That is, the spurt 134 is stepped-cylinder-shaped. The spurt 134 is received within the first paper tube 142 via the first nozzle 140 to connect the female tube 14 with the male tube 13.
  • As the male tube 13 is stepped-cylinder-shaped, and the female tube 14 is cylinder-shaped, the connection between the adjacent fireworks units 10 is stable, and the operations are simple.
  • Each of the fireworks launching tubes 12 includes a third paper tube 122. The third paper tube 122 includes a third nozzle 120 arranged on a top of the third paper tube 122. Bottoms of the second paper tube 132 and the third paper tube 122 are on the same plane. The tops of the first paper tube 142 and the third nozzle 120 are on the same plane. In this way, the bottoms and the tops of the fireworks 100 assembled by the plurality of fireworks units 10 align with each other, which contributes to the transportation and the storage of the fireworks 100.
  • During the operations of the fireworks 100, the fuses 11 of the fireworks units 10 are connected by the connection between the male tube 13 and the female tube 14. When the fireworks 100 is ignited, only the fuse 11 on the female tube 14 of the first fireworks unit 10 has to be ignited. Afterward, the fireworks units 10 are ignited in a sequence corresponding to the connecting sequence of the fuses 11. The igniting operation of the fireworks 100 is simple and safe. Furthermore, the fireworks unit 10 includes at least one male tube 13 and at least one female tube 14. That is, the combinations between the fireworks units 10 may be configured in accordance with user demand. In this way, the fireworks 100 having a plurality of shapes is configured to obtain more vivid effects.
  • Although the features and elements of the present disclosure are described as embodiments in particular combinations, each feature or element can be used alone or in other various combinations within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
