A pyrotechnic device of connection and delay between detonating cords and/or between an igniter and detonating cords, including a cavity divided up in two parts, the internal walls of which are coated with a very flammable material; a means for blocking one or several detonating cords in each of the parts; and a means for communicating between the two parts. The two parts are separated by a partition and the communication means includes a track containing a slowly and regularly burning material, extending outside the cavity walls between openings communicating with each of the two cavity parts. |

A multiple effect pyrotechnic shell (20), having a lift chamber (22), primary break (24), secondary break (26), and a tertiary break (28) has a desired weight distribution to inhibit tumbling. The secondary break weight is less than the primary break weight, and the tertiary break weight is less than both the primary and secondary break weights. Thus, the center of gravity of the shell (20) is positioned below a midpoint of the shell height. A first timing fuse (46) extends from a lift charge (30) into a primary break charge (50A) of the primary break (24), and a primary internal timing fuse (64) extends from the primary break (24) to the secondary break (26). Further, a secondary internal timing fuse (70) extends from the secondary break (26) to the tertiary break (28). Fuse fragments (52) are preferably disbursed within the break hulls (48) to provide filler and add an additional effect to each break (24-28). |

A plurality of magazines each receive an array of pyrotechnic devices. The magazines are latched to a fire control and support assembly which automatically engages the fire control circuit to each device of each magazine. The circuit ignites all devices of all the magazines in a given serial sequence. The system, under control of an operator, when turned off, may be restarted at the beginning of a selected sequence, at the point where the last device was ignited and continue the sequence or at selected different portions of devices. Different size devices can be ignited by one circuit using different magazines all coupled to one unit. Safety features also include delay ignition after startup and sounding an alarm before any device is ignited. A CPU is enabled by a fire command signal and disabled by internal programmed instructions. The CPU is periodically enabled in a device ignition cycle by external timing signals initiated by the CPU when enabled. |

A fireworks aerial display shell is provided with multiple casings of cylindrical configuration that are joined together in end-to-end relationship. Each casing defines an interior volume in which an effects charge is packed. A plug is positioned between the effects charges and has an opening through which an ignition source passes to ignite one of the effects charges as a result of burning of another of the effects charges. An outer casing may surround at least parts of the multiple cylindrical casings and includes multiple partially ball-shaped segments. |

A compression molded combined firework includes a plurality of tubular cavity bodies evenly distributed in parallel on a body. Upper ends of the tubular cavity bodies are open, lower ends of the tubular cavity bodies are closed. Chemicals for launching fireworks and effect parts are disposed in the tubular cavity bodies. Flash holes penetrating through the bottom surface of the body are formed in the closed ends of the tubular cavity bodies. Bottom surface openings of the flash holes are located in a wiring groove. A blocking groove is disposed in the wiring groove and between the bottom surface openings of the flash holes. The wiring groove is sealed with glue. The glue forms a closed ring shape along the cross section direction of a leading wire in the wiring groove, thereby blocking a channel where powder gas goes forwards along a gap, and eliminating the phenomenon of blaze. |

A fireworks aerial display shell is provided with lift charges positioned at opposite ends of a casing that additionally contains an effects charge. Fuses are operatively associated with the lift charges and the effects charge in a manner to ignite the lift charges a period of time before igniting the effects charge. When either one of the ends of the casing is placed facing a closed bottom of a launch tube of a reusable mortar, the burning lift charge at that end of the casing when ignited exerts a propelling force to propel the aerial display shell upwardly out of the launch tube to an intended height before the effects charge is ignited to create a pyrotechnic visual effects display. |

A Pyro-Cube fireworks includes a plurality of fireworks units. Each of the fireworks units includes a fuse, a plurality of fireworks launching tubes, at least one male tube, and at least one female tube. The fuse connects with the female tube. The male tube and the female tube are configured in a rim of the fireworks units. The fuse connects all fireworks launching tubes with the male tube from the female tube. The female tube of one fireworks unit engages with the male tube of another fireworks unit to connect the fuse of the female tube with the fuse of the male tube of adjacent fireworks unit. Only the fuse on the female tube of the first fireworks unit has to be ignited, and all fireworks units are ignited in a sequence corresponding to the connecting sequence of the fuses. The igniting operation of the fireworks is simple and safe. |
