Abstract: A chemiluminescent lighting device having a flexible casing surrounding the source of light. A separate transparent, translucent or opaque sleeve is placed about the casing to improve the gripping and the aesthetic feel of the device while passing the light. The sleeve may be in the form of a spiral or net exposing portions of the casing. The sleeve may include colored polymers to produce multi-colored effects. The sleeve may also include fluorescers to retain intensity and/or change colors. The lighting device enhances the visual appeal of novelty items such as necklaces and bracelets, and provides a tactile grip when used as a hand-held illumination device.

Abstract: A chemiluminescent illuminated novelty device employing a a light-filtering thermoformed vessel having a form for holding chemiluminescent reagents, e.g. a round shaped chemical holding section. The lighting effects generated by reaction of the chemiluminescent reagents are enhanced by the presence of particles containing a secondary fluorescer. In one embodiment, these particles may have a particular geometrical shape, e.g. a star or heart shape, and further contain a secondary fluorescer capable of being excited by the primary chemiluminescent light source so as to emit a secondary source of light which creates a glitter effect.

Abstract: A polygonal outer shell providing improved light transmission characteristics for chemiluminescent lighting devices. The corners created by incidence of the surfaces that comprise the shell create a fiber optic effect by concentrating the light in the corners, thus enhancing visibility of light emanating from the light stick and optimizing the amount and distribution of light radiated from the device. Furthermore, a hook-shaped tip by which the light may be suspended from means of horizontal support. In an alternate embodiment, the hook defines an opening and a quick release locking device which allows quick insertion of means of horizontal support into the eye and simultaneously prevents the support from disengaging therefrom unless the locking device is released.
