EDGAR THOMAS woraswioir, or NILGIBI, MADRAS, BRITISH INDIA,
Specification of Letters Patent.
arraaarus FOR THROVJING conrnrrr AND T E LIKE.
Applicationfiled November 14, 1918. Serial No. 262,484. I
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that l, EDGAR THOMAS VVoRs- WICK, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Station l-lo spital,
-lVellington, Nilgiri, Madras Presidency,
British India, have invented a new or Improved Apparatus for Throwing Confetti and the like, of which the following is a specification,
This invention relates to a-new or improved apparatus for throwing confetti, rice andthe like at weddings. It may also be used for throwing articles of light weight such as inexpensive presents or toys, and in India, colored powders such as are thrown during certain native festivals, may be sub-v stituted. I V
In its simplest form the invention consists of a tube of cardboard or other suitable material containing a small explosive charge at one end, ignitible by any suitable means, the remaining portion of the tube being filled with confetti or other material or articles.
The end of the tube above the confetti is closed by a thin'paper cover pasted over it,
and the other end by a disk of cardboard attached to the tube by paste and, if desired, reinforced with a strip of cloth pasted to both the disk and tube, or that end of the tube. may be made in one piece with the tube. v
An embodiment of the invention is illustratedin the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which: a designates the tube, the thin paper end closure, and c the stouter closure at the opposite end reinforced by a strip of cloth (Z. Within the tube is provided a cone 6 of sandor glass-paper, the sanded or glass-covered surface forming the insideof the cone. WVithin the said cone is placed an explosive charge 7 ignitible by Q the withdrawal of a string 9 which passes through a perforation in the end closure 0 into the cone 6, its inner end having a bulb h V of sand or powdered glass attached to it by gum or other adhesive. The cone is held in position by a light paokingof crumpled tissue paper or other suitable material z, and is Patented Dec. 9, 1919. 1
separatedby a similarwad y from the con i fetti. The remaining space is in thetube is rial.
Thepropellent used is composed of the follow ng ingredients in the proportions stated, namely Fulminate of silver 8.5 grains. Fulmlnate of mercury 17 .0 grains. Potassium'chlorate 74.5 grains.
' Or, to increase the loudness of the explosion,
the following may be used:
filled with confetti or other desired mate- Fulminate of silver 10.0 grains. Fulmlnate of mercury 15.5 grains. Potassium chlorate 74.5 grams.
()wing to the sensitiveness of the propellent, the charge is necessarily filled into the cone in a moist or pasty condition which causes it to adhere to the surface of the cone on drying. V In using the apparatus the string 9 s smartly pulled so that the friction caused by the bulb h passing through the explosive charge 7' ignites it and discharges the confetti or other contents of the tube through the end closure 6.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what mannerthe same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is A confetti projector comprising a casing, a hollow friction member in the casing, near one end of the latter, a cushioning packing in said end of the casing and around said friction member, a charge of confetti in the casing, a solid explosive charge arranged for movement in the friction member for ignition thereby, and a cord attached to said ex- T. DOWLING.
