Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kombinationsfeuerwerk zum elektrischen Anzünden von einzelnen pyrotechnischen Gegenständen gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch.The invention relates to a combination fireworks for the electrical lighting of individual pyrotechnic articles according to the independent claim.

Als Kombinationsfeuerwerk bezeichnet man eine Anordnung von mehreren pyrotechnischen Gegenständen, welche in festgelegter Ordnung kontrolliert angezündet werden können.Combination fireworks is the term used to describe an arrangement of several pyrotechnic articles which can be lit in a controlled manner in a defined order.

Das Anzünden von pyrotechnischen Gegenständen umfasst das gewollte Auslösen einer Detonation des pyrotechnischen Gegenstandes sowie das Anzünden einer Treibladung zum Beschleunigen des pyrotechnischen Gegenstands vor dessen Explosion. Für das Anzünden des pyrotechnischen Gegenstandes ist ein Anzündmittel erforderlich, welches in Form von Anzündschnüren zum Abbrennen oder elektrischen Anzündern aus dem Stand der Technik bereitgestellt wird.The ignition of pyrotechnic articles includes the intentional triggering of a detonation of the pyrotechnic article and the firing of a propellant charge for accelerating the pyrotechnic article prior to its explosion. For igniting the pyrotechnic article, a primer is required, which is provided in the form of firing cords for firing or electric igniters of the prior art.

Bei konventionellen Kombinationsfeuerwerken sind auf einer Bodenplatte mehrere einzelne pyrotechnische Gegenstände (Mehrfachfeuerwerke, z.B. Batterien) angeordnet, welche mit Hilfe von Anzündschnüren in einer festgelegten Ordnung derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass diese durch das Anzünden und Abbrennen einer Anzündschnur in einer vorbestimmten Reihenfolge angezündet werden. Ein Problem von Kombinationsfeuerwerken aus dem Stand der Technik, welche auf Anzündschnüren basieren, ist die erhöhte Gefahr für Fehlzündungen, welche für den Verbraucher eine potentielle Gefährdung darstellen. Außerdem kann sich bei Regenwetter die Brennbarkeit der Anzündschnur verschlechtern, was insbesondere beim Anzünden problematisch ist.In conventional combination fireworks several individual pyrotechnic objects (multiple fireworks, eg batteries) are arranged on a base plate, which are connected by means of firing cords in a fixed order in such a way that this by the lighting and burning a lighting string to be lit in a predetermined order. A problem of prior art combination fireworks based on firing cords is the increased risk of misfires which pose a potential hazard to the consumer. In addition, the flammability of the detonating cord can worsen in rainy weather, which is particularly problematic when lighting.

Weiterhin sind pyrotechnische Gegenstände in Form von einem Bühnenfeuerwerk bekannt, welche mittels elektrischen Anzündern angezündet werden. Derartige elektrische Anzünder sind als Brückenanzünder weit verbreitet. Ein Brückenanzünder besteht aus zwei elektrisch leitenden Drähten, die in einem sogenannten Brandmittel (Anzündpille) zusammengeführt sind. Zum Anzünden wird eine elektrische Spannung an beiden Drähten angelegt und der daraus resultierende Stromfluss bzw. die erzeugte Hitze bewirkt das Anzünden des Brandmittels. Um elektrostatisches Aufladen der elektrischen Anzündkabel und damit ein ungewolltes Anzünden zu verhindern, werden diese kurzgeschlossen.Furthermore, pyrotechnic objects are known in the form of a stage fireworks, which are ignited by means of electric igniters. Such electric lighters are widely used as bridge lighters. A bridge lighter consists of two electrically conductive wires, which are brought together in a so-called fire (primer). For lighting, an electrical voltage is applied to both wires, and the resulting current flow or the generated heat causes the lighting of the fire. In order to prevent electrostatic charging of the electric ignition cable and thus an unintentional lighting, they are short-circuited.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist mit der DE 10 2016 007 918 A1 eine pyrotechnische Abschussvorrichtungen bekannt, mit mehreren Läufen, in die ein separater und nicht mit der Vorrichtung verbundener pyrotechnischer Gegenstand vor dem Abschuss einführt wird. Die pyrotechnischen Gegenstände müssen von geschulten Personen eingeführt werden, weshalb die Vorrichtung nicht für den Endverbraucher geeignet ist.From the prior art is with the DE 10 2016 007 918 A1 a pyrotechnic launcher known, with several runs, in which a separate and not associated with the device pyrotechnic article is introduced before the launch. The pyrotechnic articles must be introduced by trained persons, which is why the device is not suitable for the end user.

Ferner ist aus der US 5 627 338 A , der US 6 393 990 B1 und der DE 10 2015 215 893 A1 jeweils eine Feuerwerkseinrichtung bekannt.Furthermore, from the US 5,627,338 A , of the US 6,393,990 B1 and the DE 10 2015 215 893 A1 each a fireworks device known.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher ein Kombinationsfeuerwerk bereitzustellen, welches die Nachteile konventioneller Kombinationsfeuerwerke überwindet und insbesondere bei der Verwendung von mehreren pyrotechnischen Gegenständen mit elektrischen Anzündern Fehlzündungen verhindert.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a combination firework which overcomes the disadvantages of conventional combination fireworks and, in particular, prevents misfires when using a plurality of pyrotechnic articles with electric igniters.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Kombinationsfeuerwerk zum elektrischen Anzünden von einzelnen pyrotechnischen Gegenständen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Der Gegenstand der Unteransprüche betrifft jeweils vorteilhafte Aspekte der Erfindung.This object is achieved by a combination fireworks for the electrical lighting of individual pyrotechnic articles according to claim 1. The subject matter of the subclaims relates in each case to advantageous aspects of the invention.

Die Erfindung umfasst ein Kombinationsfeuerwerk zum elektrischen Anzünden von einzelnen pyrotechnischen Gegenständen. Das Kombinationsfeuerwerk umfasst eine Bodenplatte mit mindestens zwei pyrotechnischen Gegenständen und (mindestens) einen Steckverbinder zum Anschluss an der Bodenplatte, zwischen jedem pyrotechnischen Gegenstand und dem Steckverbinder geführten, elektrischen Anzündkabeln der pyrotechnischen Gegenstände. Der Steckverbinder ist dabei derart ausgebildet, um eine elektrische Überbrückungsvorrichtung dauerhaft daran zu befestigen. Der Vorteil des Anzündens pyrotechnischer Gegenstände mittels elektrischen Anzündern als Anzündmittel liegt in der zuverlässigen Anzündung. Dieses Kombinationsfeuerwerk ermöglicht die Vorteile des elektrischen Anzündens mit der Verwendung von mehreren einzelnen pyrotechnischen Gegenständen zu kombinieren, wobei gewährleistet ist, dass bei den elektrischen Kabeln, die zu jedem pyrotechnischen Gegenstand geführt sind, es zu keiner elektrostatischen Aufladung kommt, insofern diese gebrückt werden können. Ein Beispiel für einen derartigen pyrotechnischen Gegenstand ist eine Batterie, deren Einzeleffekte derart ausgebildet sind, um einen Gesamteffekt (Bild (Herz), Symbol (Zahl), ...) zu bewirken. Vorteilhafterweise umfassen die pyrotechnischen Gegenstände einen abgeschlossenen (ohne Aufnahme für einen pyrotechnischen Gegenstand) Behälter, in dem ein Zündelement und einer Leuchtladung angeordnet sind. Der Behälter ist unmittelbar (ohne Befestigungselement) auf der Bodenplatte fest (bestimmungsgemäß unlösbar; z.B. durch Verkleben) angeordnet.The invention includes a combination firework for the electrical lighting of individual pyrotechnic articles. The combination firework comprises a bottom plate with at least two pyrotechnic articles and (at least) a connector for connection to the bottom plate, between each pyrotechnic article and the connector guided, electrical ignition cables of the pyrotechnic articles. The connector is designed in such a way to permanently secure an electrical bridging device thereto. The advantage of igniting pyrotechnic articles by means of electric igniters as ignition means is the reliable ignition. This combination fireworks enables the advantages of electric lighting to be combined with the use of several individual pyrotechnic articles, ensuring that the electrical cables routed to each pyrotechnic article do not become electrostatically charged as far as they can be bridged. An example of such a pyrotechnic article is a battery whose individual effects are designed to produce a total effect (image (heart), symbol (number), ...). Advantageously, the pyrotechnic articles comprise a sealed container (without a receptacle for a pyrotechnic article) in which an ignition element and a luminous charge are arranged. The container is fixed (without fastening element) on the base plate (intentionally insoluble, for example by gluing).

Gemäß einem vorteilhaften Aspekt ist der Steckverbinder eine Steckerbuchse eines seriellen Steckers und wobei der Kurzschlussstecker ein serieller Stecker ist. Der Steckverbinder ist dabei derart ausgebildet, um die elektrischen Anzündkabel sowohl einzeln, als auch mehrere elektrische Anzündkabel in Reihe an den Steckverbinder anzuschließen. Damit sind die beiden, einem protechnischen Gegenstand zugeordneten, elektrischen Anzündkabel immer gebrückt (elektrisch verbunden).According to an advantageous aspect, the connector is a female connector of a serial connector and wherein the shorting connector is a serial connector.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist ein Kombinationsfeuerwerk, welches ferner eine Fernsteuerung für das Anzündgerät umfasst, und wobei die Fernsteuerung einen Auslöser und einen Sicherheitsschalter umfasst. Die Fernsteuerung ist dabei derart ausgebildet, um mittels eines Senders die Anzündung des Kombinationsfeuerwerks zu steuern. Erst durch den Einsatz elektrischer Anzünder wird eine Fernsteuerung der Anzündung überhaupt möglich. Es ist besonders vorteilhaft auf diese Art und Weise Musikfeuerwerke anzuzünden, indem zum Beispiel ein Audioausgang zum Auslösen eingesetzt wird.Particularly advantageous is a combination fireworks, which further comprises a remote control for the ignition device, and wherein the remote control comprises a trigger and a safety switch. The remote control is designed to control the ignition of the combination fireworks by means of a transmitter. Only by the use of electric lighters, a remote control of the ignition is possible at all.
