Description

MULTI-LIGHT EMITTING CHEMI-LIGHT

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a multi-light emitting chemi-light, and in

particular to a chemi-light which emits hght in multiple colors so that it

looks more distinctive to eyes of people

(Background Art)

'Chemi-luminescence' or 'Chemical light-emitting' is a reaction in

which a reactant transitting from an exited state to a ground state

emits a hght energy This reaction could be regarded as a backward

reaction of photochemical reaction In chemi-luminescence, atoms or

molecules which are electrically exited during the chemical leaction

come to vibrate or collide to other adjacent ones, and these unstable

atoms or molecules should emit the light By selecting the reacting

substances, or by adding different fluoi escers 01 by mixing two or more

fluorescers, the chemi-light would emit a predetermined-colored lights Recently, the chemi- luminescence are practically applied for fishing,

decoration and other leisure goods in the name of 'chemi-light' or

'chemical light' Fig 1 shows the chemι-light(5) attached to float(4) of

fishing rod(2) This light-emitting chemι-lιght(5) makes it easy for a

fisherman to keep his eyes on the float(4) at night

As shown in Fig. 2, the chemι-hght(5) is composed of a flexible

and hght-transmittable tube(lθ) containing a predeterminded liquid

reactant A(6) and glass ampule(12) This ampule(12) also contains othei

liquid reactant B(8) The ampule(12) is dipped in reactant A(6) If the

tube( lθ) is bent by fingers, the ampule(12) is to be broken Then, the

liquid reactant A(6) contained in the tube(lθ) and the liquid reactant

B(8) contained in the ampule(12) are to be mixed to each other, and

stai t to emit light This chemi-light is now used for lighting of the

outdooi s leisure and military purposes as well as for night fishing

goods

But, the above mentioned chemi-light is formed by one tube and

one ampule contained in said tube Therefore, each of the tube and

ampule should contain one kind of reactant or reactant mixture, so that the chemi-light should have one combination of reactants. As a result,

the chemi-light may issue one color light. That is, it should be

impossible to change or diversify the color pattern of light in one

chemi-light. Therefore, the chemi-light should look monotonous and less

distinguishable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of this invention is to solve the above mentioned

problems by providing a new chemi-light which could emit multi-color

light to change and diversify the light-emitting patterns and make it

look colorful and more distinguishable to the eyes of person.

The above object is achieved by the invention of chemi-light which

includes a flexible and light-transmittable tube(6) which contains

reactants(6) and ampule(12) in which other reactants(S) are contained,

wherein said tube(lθ) is partitioned by at least one partition(14) to form

at least two chambers(16,18), and each of said chambers(16,18) contains

reactant(βa) and reactant(6b) respectively, and each of said

chambers( 16,18) also contains each ampules(12a,12b), and said

ampules(12a,12b) contain reactant(8a) reactable with said reactant(βa) and reactant(8b) reactable with said reactant(βb) respectively to emit the

different color lights.

Brief Description of the drawings.

The invention will be descibed in more detail with reference to the

drawings in which ;

Fig. 1 is a view showing an exemplary use of the conventional

chemi-light.

Fig. 2 is a partially broken view of the conventional chemi-light tube.

Fig. 3 is a partially broken view of the embodiment according to the

invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Referring to Fig. 3, the chemi-light(δ) comprises flexible and

transparent or light-transmittable plastic tube( lθ) which is partitioned by

a diaphramic partition(14) to form two chambers(16,18). The shape of

said tube(lθ) or the location of said partition 14) should be properly

determined. Each chamber(16,18) contains liquid reactant(lθa) and liquid

reactant(lβ) repectively. Also, Each chamber(16,18) contains each glass ampule(12a, 12b). Said ampules(12a,12b) are dipped in said

reactants(6a,6b) respectively. And these ampules(12a,12b⁾ contain other

reactant(8a, 8b) respectively.

The combinations of said reactants are properly selected so that the

color of hght emitted by mixing of the reactant(δa) and reactant(8b) is

visually distinctive and differentiated from the color of light emitted by

mixing of the reactant(6b) and reactant(8b) For this purpose, the

ingredients of reactant or added fluorescers should be differentiated.

If necessary, the tube(lθ) might be partitioned into three or more

chambers, and each of the chambers might have each ampule The

combination of reactants in a chamber and the one in the corresponding

ampule should be differentiated to achieve more colorful and more

various light patterns

According to the invention as described above, the tube( lθ) of

chemHιght(5) has a case of plastic tube( lθ) which is partitioned into

two or more chambci s, and combinations of reactants properly selected

to emit different colored lights should be contained in each chamber and

the corresponding ampule In order to lighten the chemi-light, all of

- o these ampule(12a,12b) in each chamber(16,18) should be broken by

bending the tube(lθ). Then, by mixing of the different combination of

reactants, each chamber(16,18) will emit the different color lights. As a

result, the chemi-light could issue more colorful and more distinctive

multi-colored light. The multi-colored pattern according to the invention

might be applicable for the purpose of signal communication.

Claims

1. Chemi-light which includes a flexible and light-transmittable tube(6)
