  • Patent number: 5429053
    Abstract: A pyrotechnic fan rack for mounting a plurality of individual fireworks pieces in a fanned array. The rack has an elongated body with an arcuate top profile and a flat base. Mounting ears are formed on the base to secure the rack to a surface. A series of sockets are formed through the top wall of the body along the horizontal length of the body. Each socket is formed in the body with its axis in preselected fixed angle relative to the axis of adjacent sockets. Tubes containing fireworks pieces are mounted in the sockets and extend out of the holes with their discharge ends in a desired angular relationship to adjacent firework pieces. A fuse groove seating an ignitable instantaneous fuse is formed along a horizontal length of the body connecting each of the sockets.
