One aspect of the invention provides a firing apparatus that provides an arcuate visual effect. The firing apparatus includes a motor, an enclosure housing the motor and an arm connected to a shaft of the motor for moving a pyrotechnic device such as a gerb. Another aspect of the invention provides a pyrotechnic system that includes a firing apparatus including a reciprocal motor, a firing arm having a first end connected to a shaft of the reciprocal motor and a second end adapted to emit an arcuate pyrotechnic effect, a control unit in communication with the firing apparatus for controlling operation of the reciprocal motor and an ignition unit in communication with the firing apparatus for initiating the pyrotechnic effect. |

The invention discloses a method and system for creation of fireworks and laser show by generating effects of laser-material interaction and in particular by generating laser-induced breakdowns. The fireworks have the following particulars: each spark can be created at the pre-set position; the time existing and brightness of each spark can be controlled; each spark can have desirable speed and the trajectory movement; the laser-induced fireworks can reproduce any desirable spark arrangement, in particular 2D, 3D images or an abstract pictures. A method for creation of a laser show is founded on the use of a combination of the effects accompanying the laser-induced breakdowns and other laser-material interaction phenomenon. A method discloses the laser show which uses of the inflated balloons having special shapes and characteristics needed for the production of the desirable visual effects generated by laser radiation. A system for creation of fireworks and laser show is also disclosed. |

Pyrotechnic fireworks launch apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a base to which is affixed a male-configured launching cylinder adapted to accept thereover, in combination, an internally cylindrical, female-configured projectile, wherein the projectile has a proximal and a distal end thereof. The projectile houses a fused pyrotechnic display charge proximate its distal end and also houses a fused launching charge encased therein and partitioned from the display charge. On insertion of the launching cylinder into the proximal end of the projectile, thereby mounting the projectile upon the launching cylinder, the encased launching charge and the launching cylinder are in abutting relationship. Upon ignition of the fused launch charge, the projectile is launched vertically from the launching cylinder. The external configuration of the projectile may have any number of shapes. In a preferred configuration, it is shaped as a rocket. The external configuration of the projectile may be shaped as an airplane, as an insect, as a building structure, a fairy, a super hero, a badminton shuttlecock, an oil rig, as the space needle, or as any other recognizable configuration limited only by the designer's imagination. Multiple units of the apparatus may be fused together serially, whereby, upon ignition of one unit, all units are ignited. |

The invention concerns a pyrotechnic projectile comprising a body containing a bursting charge (4) and a combustible charge (5) which is ignited and dispersed by the bursting charge (4), characterized in that the combustible charge (5) is formed by a metallic powder combustible with oxygen, arranged in the busting charge (4) according to a pattern corresponding of the flare pattern to be obtained in the sky. The metallic powder can be titanium, aluminum or magnesium powder. |

A projectile is described which consists of a contact head and a screen material canister which may be made of aluminum, attached thereto by bolts and, optionally closed with a cover. Contact rings are arranged on an outer casing of the contact head and are connected via firing leads to a primer capsule which is located in the contact head in a centrally disposed box-shaped charge chamber having a substantially gas-tight screw cover at its base and substantially gas-tight ports for the firing leads, the ports being sealed with a sealing agent. A delayed action fuse assembly is arranged in the head section of the contact head or in the base of the screen material canister and connects the charge chamber and the canister, the assembly being in communication with the canister either through an igniter-destructor unit having a charge for igniting the screen material and fragmenting a casing of the canister, or through an expelling charge chamber containing an expelling charge for expulsion of the screen material at rupture of the cover on the head of the canister. The screw cover is formed at its edge with a screw thread and is formed at least in its central region with an abutment for a spacer of a cup discharger, the parts of the cover between the edge and the abutment being formed with weakened areas for the escape of propellent gases. The screen material may consist of thin combustible lamellae which may comprise a carrier material carrying a slow-burning combustion layer. |

EVANS ROBERT W |
A signal flare having a container with a plurality of propulsion nozzles in the aft end and having a propellant charge therein. A flare propellant is provided in the forward end of the container and is arranged to be ignited by the burning of the propellant charge. A plurality of flare nozzles are also provided in the aft end of the signal container and a quantity of flare dye is positioned between the flare propellant and the flare nozzles. The contact of hot flare propellant gases with the flare dye causes ablation of the flare dye so that the dye colors the hot flare propellant gases which are dispersed through the flare nozzles.
