  • Publication number: 20200147510
    Abstract: A confetti device comprising: an elongated tube having a proximal end, distal end and hollow internal portion, a length of the tube is 14 inches; the tube comprises a design wrapper disposed longitudinally over an exterior portion of the tube; one or more bundles of a pre-defined size strategically located such that the bundles extends diametrically across an internal portion of the tube, each of the bundles includes pieces of confetti stacked in a pre-defined arrangement; at least one wrapper covering the pieces of confetti to form the bundles, at least one of the bundles remains in frictional contact with an inner surface of the tube; a divider located at one or more pre-defined location in the hollow internal portion of the tube; a cover on one of the ends of the tube; and pompom streamer(s) placed at least one of the ends.

  • Publication number: 20190368838
    Abstract: A launching system for launching light weight articles into air comprising an elongated hollow tube or cannon filled with at least one light weight article such as confetti, a female quick disconnect member, a ball valve, a male extrusion, a reservoir and a source of compressed gas. The female quick disconnect member having at least one cam lock lever at proximal end facilitates quick connection and disconnection of the elongated hollow tube and the distal end of the female quick disconnect member is connected to one end of the ball valve via a male extrusion, further the ball valve having one handle which acts as a trigger.

  • Publication number: 20180178139
    Abstract: A swirl confetti blower is designed to create a conical swirl motion that would cause the confetti to blow down around and up/out the spouts. This blower consists of top that has the confetti loading doors, fan housing and fan blade guard, hanging bracket, the main housing body with the confetti snouts and the octagon vent bottom which is the confetti trough and the bottom air relief portion with the conical diffuser. Diversion of air flow is what helps the confetti to flow not only up and out but also out the bottom relief channel. This Vortex or Swirl is created by using a high velocity blower fan. The blower loads from the snouts or the doors on the top of the unit. This unit can be hung from a truss or positioned on a flat surface. This would be for either manual control or an external DMX unit that would be able to be controlled from a lighting console.
