Definitions
- the present invention relates to a block system that is used to mount bottle rockets for launching.
- Bottle rockets include a stem that extends from the bottle rocket ignition point. This stem helps to guide the combustion associated with the rocket into the air for later explosion above the heads of the consumers. Normally a consumer places these bottle rockets as evident by their name into an empty glass bottle to launch the rocket for an aerial display. However occasionally the launching bottles may fail if not secured further it may be difficult to find a suitable glass bottle to use as the rocket launcher. As a result, it would be advantageous to have a launching platform associated with the consumer type bottle rockets for fireworks displays.

Abstract
A block system for launching bottle rockets that includes: a first block, where the first block serves as a base; a second block, where the second block serves as a launching block and is adapted for placement onto the first block during use; a plurality of openings over a top surface of the first block; and a tube vertically extending from each opening. Preferably, the first block includes a handle, where the first block and second block are rectangular cuboids and each tube extends at an angle.
Description
- The present invention relates to a block system that is used to mount bottle rockets for launching.
- Many individuals use consumer fireworks for various occasions such as the 4th of July or New Year's or other holidays. These consumer type fireworks provide a means for a consumer to create a small fireworks display at home with minimum experience. Many times consumers purchase firecrackers, bottle rockets and roman candles as typical items for personal firework displays. Bottle rockets include a stem that extends from the bottle rocket ignition point. This stem helps to guide the combustion associated with the rocket into the air for later explosion above the heads of the consumers. Normally a consumer places these bottle rockets as evident by their name into an empty glass bottle to launch the rocket for an aerial display. However occasionally the launching bottles may fail if not secured further it may be difficult to find a suitable glass bottle to use as the rocket launcher. As a result, it would be advantageous to have a launching platform associated with the consumer type bottle rockets for fireworks displays.
- The present invention relates to a block system for launching bottle rockets that includes: a first block, where the first block serves as a base; a second block, where the second block serves as a launching block and is adapted for placement onto the first block during use; a plurality of openings over a top surface of the first block; and a tube vertically extending from each opening. Preferably, the first block includes a handle, where the first block and second block are rectangular cuboids and each tube extends at an angle.

FIG. 1 depicts a base block of a bottle rocket launcher according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 depicts a top block used with the rocket launcher in accordance with the present invention. - The present invention relates to a block system used as a bottle rocket launcher for consumer fireworks. According to the present invention, a base block is used with a side handle as a base for a second block that includes a plurality of launching tubes extending vertically from the top block. The base block helps a user to maneuver and stabilize the top block for use with consumer bottle rockets.
- In reference to
FIG. 1 , abase block 15 is depicted and includes atop surface 17. Theblock 15 is a rectangular cuboid and includes ahandle 10 extending from one side of theblock 15. Although not shown, theblock 17 includes six sides with three sides shown in the prospective view depicted inFIG. 1 .FIG. 2 shows atop block 20 that is used in conjunction with thebottom block 15 inFIG. 1 . Thetop block 20 includes a plurality of launchingtubes 24 arranged vertically over atop surface 25 ofblock 20. Eachlaunching tube 24 is inserted into an opening 21 within thetop block 20. This configuration as shown inFIG. 2 allows the user to insert a bottle rocket or a series of bottle rockets in the available tubes of thetop block 20. As shown 5 tubes extend from thetop surface 25. Although this number may be increased or decreased based upon the design considerations for the user. The tubes preferably are slightly angled and not completely vertical extending fromtop surface 25. Thebottom surface 27 ofblock 20 abuts the top surfaced 17 ofbottom block 15. This set up allows a user to maneuver and then securely mount the bottle rockets within the tubes prior to igniting the rockets for display. The present invention provides a secure launching pad as opposed to the traditional use of a glass bottle. Preferably thetubes 24 are made of PVC therefore providing a durable tube for multiple launchings of bottle rockets. The instant invention has been shown and described in what it considers to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made there from within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
