Combustion body which produces a multi-colored flame

Abstract

A cylindrically shaped combustion body of several metals or compounds like alkaline, metal or copper, which when burned produce multi-colored flames without a wick or liquid contents, and holds the flame in a stable position. As the cylindrically shape combustion body burns up, a spring mechanism pushes it upward through a tube, and a claw-like restraining device at the top of the tube keeps the combustion body from emerging out of the tube. Thus, the tip of the combustion body is held just above the rim of the tube, and the flame remains in a constant position, even as the combustion body burns shorter.

1 . Apparatus for producing a multi-colored flame comprising, 
 a) a combustion body containing compounds which yield a multi-colored flame when burned;    b) a tube for receiving said combustion body, said tube having a restraining device at its top end for restraining said combustion body;    c) a spring disposed in said tube, said spring contacting said combustion body and urging said combustion body against said restraining device of said tube;    d) a base that supports said tube and said spring disposed in said tube.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  which includes a plate attached to said base.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said tube includes a detachable top portion.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  which includes a bowl mounted on said tube for catching ash from said combustion body.
