81 | Rotating fireworks | EP87310732.0 | 1987-12-07 | EP0274227A2 | 1988-07-13 | Marsh, William Nigel Keeble |
A rotating firework characterised in that it comprises a support, which may be centrally-pivoted, having a pyrotechnic composition applied thereto in a generally circular arrangement with a discontinuity is disclosed. The production thereof, preferably by stencilling or screen printing, is also disclosed. The accompanying illustrative drawing depicts a preferably stencilled or screen printed wheel viewed from the front when in firing position. A discontinuous strip of pyrotechnic composition (1) has been applied to a support board (2) which is provided with a centre pivot boss (3). This is a simple one-direction wheel. Ignition at A by ignition means (not shown) would result in anticlockwise rotation, while ignition at B would give clockwise movement. |

88 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ZERO LATENCY DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING OF TIMED PYROTECHNIC EVENTS | US12366518 | 2009-02-05 | US20090145321A1 | 2009-06-11 | David Wayne Russell |
A method for achieving zero latency timed pyrotechnic events by utilizing distributed processing is presented. A list of timed events may be used to synchronize a pyrotechnic firing sequence with music or other external events. This list is distributed over a series of embedded microprocessors. Each microprocessor is then synchronized to a master controller clock, and enabled such that each processor may then fire independently as required by the master list. This distributed process removes the split-second timing requirement from the main controller enabling the achievement of zero latency and providing significantly more timing events to be processed simultaneously while alleviating problems such as wireless radio interference delays. Each module is capable of forwarding information to other modules, which may be in a position that prevents wireless communication directly with the master controller. A wireless pyrotechnics ignition device which utilizes this distributed processing technique is also presented. | ||||||

95 | Method for wrapping firework shells | US09977658 | 2001-10-15 | US06571675B2 | 2003-06-03 | James Cowden Widmann |
An apparatus for wrapping fireworks shells is provided and includes a base provided with preferably three support rollers configured to support a spherical firework shell thereon; stepper motors coupled to two of the rollers, a computer coupled to the stepper motors to control the movement of the stepper motors and thereby control the angular rotation of the shell on the rollers, and a dispenser assembly which dispenses continuous-feed tape for wrapping the shell and applies and presses the tape to the shell as the shell is rotated on the rollers. The computer instructs the stepper motors to systematically, at times, rotate the rollers at relatively different speeds, such that a shell on the rollers is subjected to angular rotation and-the tape is evenly applied to all portions of the shell such that the tape forms a very even casing of the firework shell. | ||||||
96 | SELF-IGNITING SPARKLER | US08825018 | 1997-03-26 | US20020117071A1 | 2002-08-29 | JOHN M. KALISZEWSKI |
This invention is for an improved sparkler which has the feature of being self-igniting. The sparkler comprises a rod 12 having one end which functions as a handle 14. Adjacent to the handle 14 on the rod 12 and extending generally along the remaining length of the rod 12 is a pyrotechnic composition coating 16. Bonded to the pyrotechnic composition coating 16 at a point furthest from the handle 14 is a self-igniting match head tip 18. When the match head tip 18 is struck against a suitable surface, ignition occurs and the sparkler's display begins. This self-ignition feature distinguishes the invention from the sparklers currently available which require heat or flame from an external source to be applied to the sparkler to cause ignition. | ||||||
97 | Mechanism and method for firing caps | US24310 | 1998-02-17 | US5937556A | 1999-08-17 | Timothy M. Daily; James R. Distel |
A device and method for firing a cap contained within a row of caps. The device includes a base structure for retaining the row of caps so that one of the caps is set in a predetermined firing location. A hammer pin is provided that is movable with respect to the base structure and the cap held therein. The hammer pin is positioned adjacent to the cap in the predetermined firing position so that when the entire device is compressed the hammer pin strikes and fires the cap. The device is preferably compressed by locating the device either in or on the sole of a shoe. As a person stands on that shoe, the device will become compressed and the cap will fire. The device also preferably contains an advancement mechanism for automatically advancing a new cap into the firing position after a cap has been fired. In this manner, multiple caps can be fired simply by walking, running or jumping. | ||||||
98 | System for detonating a percussion cap in a toy projectile | US168677 | 1993-12-16 | US5707270A | 1998-01-13 | Lonnie G. Johnson; John T. Applewhite |
A firing post is generally positioned at the center of the top end of the body of a toy projectile to receive a percussion cap cartridge. The toy projectile has a soft outer body made of light-weight, pliable, compressible material such as polystyrene. The firing post and cartridge are covered with a nose of compressible material which generally houses a hammer and firing pin in alignment with the firing post. A spring-loaded hammer and firing pin is cocked by sliding the hammer through a housing for the hammer until a notch in the stem of the hammer is engaged by the top of the hammer housing. The trigger is a lever which is movable against the inclined top end of the hammer stem. The hammer and trigger assembly may be rotated with respect to a firing chamber placed over a multiple-cartridge mount to successively fire caps on the mount. A spring-loaded index helps facilitate alignment of the trigger-hammer assembly and holes in the firing chamber. | ||||||
99 | Fireworks projectile having distinct shell configuration | US471609 | 1995-06-06 | US5627338A | 1997-05-06 | Kyle W. Poor; B. Thomas Craven; Bernard M. Durgin |
A system and method for launching projectiles, such as fireworks projectiles, which explode in the air into a pyrotechnic display. The projectile includes a shell constructed from a binding agent and an explosive additive which explodes the shell into small particles. The explosive additive, which may be nitrocellulose, causes the exploded particles to be rapidly burned and consumed to form lightweight, inert flakes that fall harmlessly to the ground. The projectile is aimed and launched by a launcher to rapidly expel the projectile from a launching tube. Once in the air at a predetermined location in the sky, a fuse inside the projectile operates to detonate the projectile into its intended pyrotechnic display. The fuse is extremely accurate and enables detonation of the projectile at precise altitudes. An electronic control system controls launching and detonation of the projectiles in a precise and repeatable manner. The external geometry of the projectile also is configured so that the projectile tumbles when launched and follows a more predictable, repeatable and accurate path in flight. | ||||||
