Referring to the drawings, and initially to
A hanging or attaching device 20 may further be provided and attached to the supporting device 10, for attaching or hanging the supporting device 10 to ceilings, walls, or other supporting members (not shown). For example, the attaching device 20 includes a bar 21, such as an angle bar 21 secured or attached to the plate 11 of the supporting device 10 with one or more arms or rods 22, for hanging or attaching to the ceilings, the walls, or the other supporting members. The bar 21 includes one or more rings 23, 24, 25 attached thereto, such as attached to two side portions and an intermediate portion thereof.
A number of balloons 30 are secured or strung together with one or more cables or wires 31, and disposed or arranged in the side or the bottom surface 13 of the plate 11 where the pointed members 12 are extended or protruded outwardly therefrom. The wires 31 are engaged through the middle opening 14 of the plate 11, and may further be engaged through the rings 23, 24, 25 of the bar 21, for being pulled by users (
The balloons 30 may be exploded when pricked or pierced by the pointed members 12, to generate sounds of explosions that simulate the explosion or firing of the firecrackers without generating smoke or gunpowder and without generating dirt or paper chips or sulphur materials, or poisonous niter materials. The explosion or firing of the balloons 30 may generate explosive sounds that simulate the explosion or firing of the typical firecrackers.
As shown in
It is preferable that the balloons 30 are filled with air or gas that is no lighter than the air, to allow the balloons 30 to be suitably dependent downwardly from the plate 11 of the supporting device 10, without flying upwardly beyond the plate 11, and without the weight or the billboard or the advertising banner or flag 33, or the like.
As shown in
It is to be noted that the balloons 30 may be controlled and moved to move through the pointed members 12 by the users, with a suitable or predetermined speed, to allow the balloons 30 to be pricked or pierced by the pointed members 12 in the required speed, and according to the users' need.
Accordingly, the firecracker simulating device in accordance with the present invention may be used for generating explosion or firing of firecrackers without generating smoke or gunpowder and without generating dirt or paper chips or sulphur materials, or poisonous niter materials.
Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detailed construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
