Device for propelling novelty items

A device for propelling novelty items comprising:

• a) means for holding said novelty items;
• b) means for supporting said holding means in an upright position;
• and
• c) means in said supporting means, for ejecting said novelty items out of an open top end of said holding means when activated, said ejecting means including:
• i) a propellant cartridge including a cylindrical housing;
• a nitrocellulose base propellant carried within said perforated cylindrical housing;
• and a fuse extending from said nitrocellulose base propellant within said perforated cylindrical housing and out of a side of said supporting means, so that when said fuse is lit by a match said nitrocellulose base propellant will produce said expanding gas;
• ii) means for mounting said propellant cartridge onto said supporting means at a bottom end of said holding means, said mounting means including a collar integral with said supporting means, said collar having a top annular groove thereabout, so that an open bottom edge of said perforated cylindrical housing can be retained within said top annular groove;
• and
• iii) a movable base placed within said holding means on said supporting means between said propellant cartridge and said novelty items, so that when said propellant cartridge is activated, said movable base will travel upwardly by a force of expanding gas released from said propellant cartridge to eject said novelty items out of said open top end of said holding means.
