Decorative garland string firework devices and methods for making same

Abstract

Decorative garland string firework devices and methods for making same are provided. A garland string firework device can comprise an internal firework device and an outer decorative garland disposed around the internal firework device. The internal firework device can be an elongated firework string comprising combustible material. The outer garland can be an exterior firework generally disposed around at least a portion of the elongated firework string. The exterior firework can comprise combustible material. The exterior firework can have an elongated configuration and a compressed configuration. In the elongated configuration, the exterior firework can have a first length, and in the compressed configuration, the exterior firework can have a second length. The outer garland can comprise multiple component sheets attached at multiple locations to form a decorative appearance. Compression of the outer garland enables packaging and storage without damaging the garland string firework device. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.

       8 . The device of  claim 1 , the exterior firework comprising a plurality of combustible material components coupled to at least one adjacent combustible material component with a combustible adhesive material. 
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of combustible material components are paper sheets having at least one of a polygonal or circular geometric shape. 
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 1 , the exterior firework comprising a non-burning agent to decrease burning of the exterior firework to a pace substantially similar to the elongated firework string. 
   
   
       11 . A firework manufacturing method comprising:
 providing an elongated firework string;   providing a garland firework enclosure at least partially around the elongated firework string, the garland firework enclosure having an adjustable length to adjust between an elongated configuration and a compressed configuration, wherein the garland firework enclosure has a length substantially greater in the elongated configuration relative to the compressed configuration.   
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising forming the garland firework enclosure with a plurality of combustible material sheets wherein the sheets are coupled to at least one adjacent sheet at multiple locations on the surface of the sheets. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising coupling at least one of the elongated firework string and the garland firework enclosure to a firework device to ignite the firework device. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising providing a non-burning agent in combination with the garland firework enclosure to alter burning of the garland firework enclosure to a pace substantially similar to the elongated firework string. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising packaging the elongated firework string and the garland firework enclosure by compressing the garland firework enclosure into the compressed configuration and situating the compressed garland firework enclosure and the elongated firework string in a container. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising adding a material to the garland firework enclosure to alter the burning rate of the garland firework enclosure. 
   
   
       17 .
