Abstract
A rack for holding fireworks in position for ignition. The rack is a lightweight frame having end supports that are connected together by a brace. The brace includes at least one aperture into which a firework-holding tube is received. A resilient bushing extends into the aperture and the frame includes an ignitor cord retaining system. The frame rests upon a flat surface and the end supports and tube both contact that flat surface. The recoil from the launched fireworks is transmitted into the flat surface and into the bushing that surrounds the tube. The frame includes holes that allow air to escape if a device explodes and also includes ways for the frame to disintegrate to reduce the production of shrapnel if a firework device explodes within the tube. A number of frames may be connected together to form a bank of firework holding devices.
