Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fireworks body having the features of the preamble of claim 1. It further relates to a fireworks body assembly having at least one such fireworks body.
  • Firecrackers are generally very popular. They are fired on the occasion of larger holidays, such as city festivals, weddings or the like, then often by professional fireworks. But they are also used by private individuals, usually for New Year's Eve celebration and the dawn of the new year.
  • categorization generally being made according to what is known as the net explosive mass that a firecracker contains.
  • Category 3 and 4 firecrackers may then only be detonated by trained fireworks.
  • net explosive mass is summed up by the masses of different explosive materials grouped together in a firecracker. These include propellant charges to eject the fireworks from a launch tube or the like, or to rise as firecrackers into the sky, burster charges to disassemble the fireworks, and pyrotechnic effect elements that cause the typical colored and / or glittering light effects.
  • Typical elements of fireworks of category 2 are so-called bombettes, which are often grouped in so-called batteries. These are cylindrical firecrackers which are arranged in receiving tubes of the so-called battery, can be ejected from below the bombs propellant charges from the receiving tubes of the battery and fired into the sky. These bombettes have in their interior a Zerlegerladung, which is ignited delayed, so that the Bombette explodes after reaching a rise in the sky, wherein contained in the Bombette pyrotechnic effect bodies are ignited and give light effects in the sky.
  • a battery may only contain a maximum of 500 g net explosive mass, whereby the already mentioned and 25 g net explosive mass per fireworks shot must not be exceeded.
  • a fireworks body which can be designed as a Category 2, so as a usable end consumer fireworks, and thereby diverge after ignition in the sky, the pyrotechnic effect body in predetermined geometrical patterns and so patterns and Draw characters to the sky.
  • a fireworks body should be feasible in the form of a so-called bombette.
  • Another object of the invention is a fireworks body arrangement specify with one, in particular with several, novel fireworks, so that, for example, a battery can be formed with bombettes that can produce corresponding effects of lighting technology type with geometric patterns.
  • a fireworks body - initially in conformity with the known firecrackers according to the prior art - has a cylinder jacket-shaped outer, two end faces sleeve which is closed at its two end faces each with a layer of dam material.
  • the dam material may be a plug of compacted earth material or a clay material or the like in the usual way.
  • the fireworks also has a plurality of pyrotechnic effect bodies disposed within the outer sleeve.
  • These pyrotechnic effect bodies can cause a variety of lighting effects, on the one hand in different colors, on the other hand, with or without a flash effect or the like. In particular, they can also cause each other different light effects, that is, each shine in different colors or partially glitter or permanent or the like.
  • the fireworks further has a burster charge disposed within the outer sleeve for rupturing the outer sleeve and for dispersing the pyrotechnic effect bodies apart.
  • a burster charge disposed within the outer sleeve for rupturing the outer sleeve and for dispersing the pyrotechnic effect bodies apart.
  • it has a dam material on a first end face of the two end faces penetrating and guided to the bursting charge first ignition line.
  • This first ignition line serves to ignite, in particular delayed, the bursting charge, in particular then, when the fireworks is fired with a propellant charge in the sky, this first ignition line in terms of their delay is such that the Zerlegerladung ignited only after reaching a predetermined pitch of the fireworks body, so that the pyrotechnic light effect caused by the pyrotechnic effect body, in a sufficient height in the sky is achieved.
  • the special feature of the fireworks invention is now that the Zerlegerladung is housed inside a completely sealed, cylindrical shell, said cylindrical shell is arranged coaxially with the outer sleeve in such a way that the longitudinal center axes of the outer sleeve and the cylindrical shell coincide , A collapse of the longitudinal central axes does not have to be exactly on one and the same line, but it suffices an approximate collapse of these longitudinal central axes, so that the cylindrical shell in which the Zerlegerladung is received, with respect to the orientation transverse to the longitudinal direction substantially centrally in the interior cylinder jacket-shaped outer sleeve is arranged.
  • a defined cylindrical casing is formed in the fireworks invention, in which the Zerlegerladung is included.
  • the first ignition lead is passed through an opening in the shell to the bursting charge. This is particularly necessary because the wall of the cylindrical shell does not absorb and burn the spark, so that the bursting charge would be ignited immediately. Rather, the wall of the cylindrical casing compared to the known paper bags is much stiffer and dimensionally stable, so that the cylindrical shell receives its cylindrical shape. This is achieved by stronger wall material, which is just not penetrated by a spark of the ignition cable.
  • the invention provides that the pyrotechnic effect body in the interior of the sleeve and outside the cylindrical shell, ie outside the Zerlegerladung between a cylindrical side wall of the cylindrical shell and a cylindrical side wall of the outer sleeve, in at least one transversely, in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis of the outer sleeve extending plane, are arranged to a predetermined geometric figure.
  • the geometric figure, to which the pyrotechnic effect bodies are arranged then predefines the figure or symbol, which is drawn in the sky after ignition of the bursting charge with the diverging, burning effect bodies.
  • pyrotechnic effect bodies are arranged, for example, in a circular shape in a plane which is oriented transversely, in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis of the cylindrical casing within which the disintegrating charge is arranged, then effect bodies are ignited after ignition of the disintegrating charge on the one hand and on account of the predetermined geometry of their arrangement on the other hand, due to the given geometry, in which the Zerlegerladung is arranged in the cylindrical casing, very precisely driven evenly outwards, so that the circular shape is maintained even when driving apart the pyrotechnic effect body and their burning. In the sky a luminous and growing circle will be visible.
  • the special feature of the invention is that the arrangement of the Zerlegerladung in a clearly defined in their geometry cylindrical shell even in a confined space and with limited amount of net explosive mass of the Zerlegerladung a defined and exact drift apart the pyrotechnic effect body from the original geometric arrangement towards him in their diameters larger evolving, the exact geometric alignment but retaining geometric patterns in the sky is possible.
  • corresponding effects can be realized for the first time in class 2 fireworks suitable for consumers.
  • the consumer thus gets access to pyrotechnic effect fireworks, which previously could only be obtained in the context of professional fireworks ignited fireworks.
  • the cylindrical casing can be closed at their opposite end faces each with a layer of a dam material. It is thereby achieved that a pressure pulse which arises when igniting the Zerlegerladung not escapes axially over the end faces of the cylindrical casing, but radially directed occurs, so that the arranged in the given geometric figure pyrotechnic effect body with maximum momentum and radially are driven apart evenly ,
  • pyrotechnic effect bodies are arranged to geometric arrangements in the fireworks according to the invention only in one plane or if in an odd number of levels, it is advantageous if these in a longitudinal central axis of the cylindrical shell at the level of the center of the longitudinal extension of the cylindrical Sheath, in particular at a right angle, cutting plane are arranged.
  • a particularly uniform, radially outwardly acting impulse is exerted on the effect body in their explosive combustion, so that they very uniformly hold the desired geometric figure in the sky when they diverge.
  • the figure drawn with the firing pyrotechnic effect body develops particularly uniformly after the firing of the bursting charge even when, as provided according to an advantageous development of the invention, the longitudinal central axis of the cylindrical casing is replaced by a geometrical one Center of gravity of at least one geometric figure runs, to which the pyrotechnic effect body are arranged.
  • the fireworks invention is not limited to the fact that only a single geometric figure can be generated with it. Rather, the pyrotechnic effect body may also be arranged in two or more planes and be placed in each of the planes according to a geometrically predetermined arrangement in figures. These may be, for example, similar figures, such as two or more circles. But it can also be provided different figure, for example, a circle and a star or the like. Ignites the Zerlegerladung, then several, in parallel planes to each other arranged geometric figures in the sky can be seen.
  • pyrotechnic effect bodies In order to place and fix the pyrotechnic effect bodies in the predetermined geometrical arrangement in the fireworks, they may for example be embedded in a non-explosive filling material, such as sand, which is filled in a space between the cylindrical shell and the outer shell.
  • a non-explosive filling material such as sand
  • Other ways to fix the pyrotechnic effect body in the desired geometric arrangement but are also conceivable.
  • they may be fixed, e.g., adhered, to an inner side of the cylindrical side wall of the outer sleeve.
  • the cylindrical casing can in particular be formed from a cardboard material or from a plastic material. It is crucial that the wall thickness of the cylindrical casing is sufficient, so that this casing, once filled with the Zerlegerladung, the latter continues to hold in the cylindrical shape defined by the cylindrical shell.
  • the ignition line for supplying a spark for the ignition of the bursting charge is guided in particular by an end wall of the cylindrical casing.
  • the fireworks body should be one of the so-called category 2, that is, one which is freely available for full-year end consumers.
  • the fireworks of the invention according to the invention advantageously contains a maximum of 25 g net explosive mass, in the case of a battery maximum 25 g net explosive mass per shot, this value is selected according to the current limit for firecrackers Category 2 according to German law.
  • a different upper limit should be preferred, always one that is the maximum permitted for use by the final consumer. Of course, this upper limit must not be exhausted, firecrackers invention can be equipped with less net explosive mass.
  • the fireworks invention is advantageously formed as a so-called Bombette, where he typically has a diameter of 8 to 30 mm, in particular from 18 to 30 mm, more preferably of 30 mm.
