Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 1):
A fireworks aerial display shell comprising:\n first and second casings of cylindrical configuration and positioned in end-to-end relationship, each of said first and second casings presenting opposite first and second ends and defining an interior volume; a lift charge positioned in the interior volume of the first casing at a location to cause a propelling force to be directed toward the first end of the first casing after the lift charge is ignited; a lead fuse operatively associated with the lift charge to cause ignition of the lift charge as a result of burning of the lead fuse; a first effects charge positioned in the interior volume of the first casing between the lift charge and the second end of the first casing for creating a first pyrotechnic display when ignited following ignition of the lift charge; a second effects charge positioned in the interior volume of the second casing for creating a second pyrotechnic display when ignited; and a plug positioned in the first casing opposite the first effects charge from the lift charge and extending across an inner cross section of the first casing, said plug having an opening for allowing an ignition source to pass through the plug to cause said igniting of the second effects charge following ignition of the first effects charge, wherein a total of less than 60 grams of pyrotechnics are present in said fireworks aerial display shell.
