  • Patent number: 7556392
    Abstract: A utensil that emits light from a handle portion thereof for a limited period of time. The handle portion may be in the form of a chemiluminescent light stick, wherein a head portion of the utensil receives and holds one end of the light stick until such time as it is detached therefrom. Alternatively, the handle portion of the utensil may be in the form of a conduit sized to receive a chemiluminescent light stick. An opening of the conduit receives the light stick, and the opening is closed following insertion of the light stick into the conduit. Accordingly, the handle portion of the utensil may emit light without the use of batteries or electronic circuitry.
