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 20):
A fireworks aerial display shell comprising:\n first and second casings of cylindrical configuration and joined together 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 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 delay fuse operably associated with said lift charge and the first effects charge to cause the delay fuse to burn by said ignition of the lift charge and thereby cause said ignition of the first effects charge; a second effects charge positioned in the interior volume of the second casing for creating a second pyrotechnic display when ignited; a plug positioned in the first casing opposite the first effects charge from the lift charge and having an opening for allowing fire resulting from said first effects charge when ignited to pass through the first plug to cause said igniting of the second effects charge; a second delay fuse operably associated with said second effects charge and the ignition source to cause the second delay fuse to burn as a result of ignition by the ignition source and thereby cause said ignition of the second effects charge a preselected period of time after said ignition of the first effects charge; a third cylindrical casing positioned end-to-end with said second cylindrical casing; a third effects charge positioned in the interior volume of the third casing for creating a third pyrotechnic display when ignited; a second plug positioned in the second casing opposite the second effects charge from the first cylindrical casing and having an opening for allowing an ignition source to pass through the second plug to cause said igniting of the third effects charge a preselected period of time following ignition of the second effects charge; and an outer casing surrounding at least parts of said first, second and third casings and comprising first, second and third partially ball-shaped segments, wherein a total of less than 60 grams of pyrotechnics are present in said fireworks aerial display shell.
