(54) Rotating fireworks


(57) A rotating firework characterised in that it comprises a support, which may be centrally-pivoted, having a pyrotechnic composition applied thereto in a generally circular arrangement with a discontinuity is disclosed.
The production thereof, preferably by stencilling or screen printing, is also disclosed.
The accompanying illustrative drawing depicts a preferably stencilled or screen printed wheel viewed from the front when in firing position. A discontinuous strip of pyrotechnic composition (1) has been applied to a support board (2) which is provided with a centre pivot boss (3). This is a simple one-direction wheel. Ignition at A by ignition means (not shown) would result in anticlockwise rotation, while ignition at B would give clockwise movement.
