2. A method of making a fuse ignitable, nonexplosive, noncombustible, smoke-emitting article of the novelty, pyrotechnic type comprising the steps of: a. fabricating a hollow closable casing of a lightweight, noncombustible, impact and pressure-resistant plastic material, from two generally complementary sections each having an open side for interjoining at a common juncture; b. separately placing the casing sections to facilitate assembly, and providing a combination fuse and smoke-emitting aperture by forming the aperture along the common juncture of the sections in at least one of said sections at its open side to subsequently better facilitate the assembly thereof; c. preparing a predetermined quantity of powderlike combustible smoke-producing composition for introduction into said casing, by preliminary wrapping said composition in an air-permeable, flexible sheetlike member for ballasting and retainment of said composition therein to preclude loss of any powderlike portions of said composition exteriorly of said casing through any clearance which may exist around the interjoining juncture and around said fuse aperture; d. utilizing a two-ended ignition fuse of predetermined length and introducing one end into potential combustion-causing relation with said composition prior to its being preliminary wrapped, so that said sheetlike material in being wrapped around the composition also embraces the fuse adjacent the end thereof entering said composition, and is helped retained thereat by its disposition adjacent said fuse aperture casing section; e. interjoining in a substantially gastight manner the two casing sections by enclosing the wrapped and fused composition between the two casing sections so that upon adjoining said sections they act tO hold said wrapping around the composition and fuse without requirement of separate tie members, to thereby form essentially a unitary article with one end of said fuse projecting through said fuse aperture and exteriorly of said joined sections.

7. A method of making a fuse ignitable, nonexplosive, noncombustible, smoke-emitting article of the novelty, pyrotechnic type comprising the steps of: a. fabricating a hollow closable casing of a lightweight noncombustible, impact and pressure-resistant plastic material, from two generally complementary sections each having an open side for interjoining at a common juncture; b. separately placing the casing sections to facilitate assembly, and providing at least one part of one section with a combined fuse and smoke-emitting aperture; c. preparing a predetermined quantity of powderlike combustible smoke-producing composition for introduction into said casing, by preliminary wrapping said composition in an air-permeable, flexible sheetlike member for ballasting and retainment of said composition therein to preclude loss of any powderlike portions of said composition exteriorly of said casing through any clearance which may exist around the interjoining juncture and around said fuse aperture; d. utilizing a two-ended ignition fuse of predetermined length and introducing one end into potential combustion-causing relation with said composition prior to its being preliminary wrapped, so that said sheetlike material in being wrapped around the composition also embraces the fuse adjacent the end thereof entering said composition, and is helped retained thereat by its disposition adjacent said fuse aperture casing section; e. including further secondarily applying another sheetlike flexible member of lesser magnitude and having a relatively close-fitting fuse aperture, over said fuse and said preliminary wrapping in the area where the fuse enters said wrapped composition; and f. interjoining in a substantially gastight manner the two casing sections by enclosing the wrapped and fused composition between the two casing sections so that upon adjoining said sections they act to hold said wrapping around the composition and fuse without requirement of separate tie members, to thereby form essentially a unitary article with one end of said fuse projecting through said fuse aperture and exteriorly of said joined sections.
