ABSTRACT:
A fireworks support apparatus broadly includes a fireworks support assembly and a positioning assembly. The support assembly includes a launching member, support structure, and at least one elastomeric band. The launching member, configured for receiving at least one elongated pyrotechnic device, presents a closed lower end and an open upper end, and includes a retaining collar, retaining nut, and a friction band. The support structure presents a support face, having positioning slots for positioning the elastomeric bands, and an opening defined therein for receiving the open upper end of the launching member. The support structure is secured to the launching member by receiving the open upper end of the launching member through the opening, the support structure being retained between the retaining collar and retaining nut. The elastomeric bands, configured for retaining at least one mortar-type pyrotechnic device, or other similar projectile-type pyrotechnic device having a base, to the support face, are wrapped around the support structure and placed adjacent to the positioning slots. The positioning assembly is configured for positioning the support face above a support level and includes a support stake having a lower portion configured for penetrating the earth, and an elongated support member configured for rigidly coupling with the support stake at one end and the launching member of the support assembly at the other end.
