Patented Sept. 4, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE This invention relates to pyrotechnics, and has for an object to provide a dual salute, one detonation of which occurs initially upon the ground, while the second occurs in the air.
A further object of the invention is to provide a mortar having two salutes therein with fuses of different lengths, the lower salute being provided with a shorter fuse and adapted to project the upper salute into the air upon explosion.
A further object of the invention is to provide in combination with a mortar having a slot through one side, of two salutes placed; within the mortar and maintained by any type of cover member, with a fuse interconnecting the two salutes and extending outwardly through the slot and cut at a point producing the shorter length in connection with the lower salute.
The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention and the views therein are as follows:
Figure 1 is a view of the salute in side elevation, and
Figure 2 is a substantially diametrical sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The improved dual salute which forms the subject-matter of this application comprises a mortar composed of a tube 10 of any material, such for instance as paper, without limitation, seated upon a base 11, which may be of any material, as for instance, wood, also without limitation.
The tube 10 and base 11 constituting the mortar are secured together in any approved manner, as by the cementitious material 12. The tube 10 is provided along one side, extending upwardly from the base 11, with a slot 13.
Within the mortar two salutes 14 and 15 are located, one upon the other. These salutes may be of any size to be placed properly within the tube 10 and the size either relative to each other or to the tube, or to other parts as shown at Figure 2 of the drawing, is to be considered as no limitation upon the invention.
The two salutes are secured together by afuse 16 which is cut at 1'7 to expose the powder, forming a shorter section 16', the latter being connected with the lower salute 14, the longer section being connected with the upper salute 15.
These salutes may be of any approved type or construction. As shown in the drawing, a tubular part 18 with the explosive charge 19 is indicated as enclosed within a. casing 20 of some kind. Any approved type of salute, whether as indicated in the drawing or otherwise constructed, however,
is fully within the terms of the present invention.
The invention depends upon the use of a mortar in which the two salutes are located, having fuses extending outwardly through the wall of the mortar to convergence, the fuse of the lower salute being shorter than the fuse of the upper salute, whereby it will explode earlier than the upper salute, and will thereby project the upper salute into the air with its fuse still burning to explode in the air.
Of course, the pyrotechnic herein described may be modified and changed in various ways without departing from the invention herein set forth and hereinafter claimed.
I claim:-
1. A dual salute comprising a mortar, salutes loosely positioned within the mortar one upon the other, exposed fuses for the salutes, the fuse of the lower salute being shorter than that of the upper salute.
2. A dual salute comprising a mortar having an opening in one side, salutes positioned within the mortar one upon the other, fuses extending from said salutes through said opening to convergence, the fuse of the lower salute being shorter than that of the upper salute.
3. A dual salute comprising a mortar having a base and a slot extending upwardly from the base along one side, a plurality of salutes positioned within the mortar one upon the other and interconnected by a fuse extending outwardly through the slot, said fuse being partially cut to expose the igniting material and form a shorter section for the lower salute than for the upper salute. 90
