Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 19):
A consumer fireworks aerial display shell for launching into the air from within a launch tube, said fireworks aerial display shell comprising:\n a cylindrical casing having first and second ends and defining an interior volume; a first lift charge comprising 5 to 10 grams of pyrotechnics positioned in the interior volume of the casing at the first end of the casing and operable to cause a propelling force to be directed toward the first end of the casing after the first lift charge is ignited; a second lift charge comprising 5 to 10 grams of pyrotechnics positioned in the interior volume of the casing at the second end of the casing and operable to cause a propelling force to be directed toward the second end of the casing after the second lift charge is ignited; an effects charge comprising 40 to 50 grams of pyrotechnics positioned in the interior volume of the casing between the first lift charge and the second lift charge; a lead fuse operatively associated with the first lift charge and the second lift charge for causing ignition of the first lift charge and the second lift charge; and a delay fuse operatively associating the first lift charge with the effects charge for causing ignition of the effects charge at least 2 seconds after ignition of the first lift charge, wherein less than a total of 60 grams of pyrotechnics is present in the first and second lift charges, the effects charge, and the lead and delay fuses.
