The invention reveals a chemiluminescent lighting element which consists of two concentric, long tubes each of which is made of a translucent and preferably flexible, synthetic material, one of which contains a first chemical liquid which emits chemiluminescent light, and the other of which contains a second chemical liquid whose function is to cause the light activation of the first liquid. The internal tube is provided with an element which moves essentially along the entire length of said tube, by a pressure imparted to it through the wall of the external tube. The sliding element is provided with a blade, which cuts the internal tube longitudinally as the element progresses along the tube and thus causes the liquid in each tube to mix whereby the first liquid is activated and chemiluminescent light is produced.
A tubular lighting element is disclosed comprising two concentric tubes of translucent material, each filled with a component of a chemiluminescent composition which, when mixed, produce chemical light, wherein the inner tube contains at least one serration which causes the tube to be broken thereat when flexed.
A sleeve or a wrapper is used to keep liquid contained in a container, such as a glass or bottle or can, cool. The sleeve contains materials that generate light when activated and chemicals that absorb heat when combined. The light is generated in an upper portion of the sleeve while heat is absorbed in a lower portion of the sleeve. The sleeve can be re-used by storing the sleeve in a refrigerator or freezer after the initial use which does not require such pre-cooling.
The instant invention teaches the use of conventional chemiluminescent constituents, admixed or separated, disposed within at least two juxtapose chambers in a parallel or helically woven pattern. The chamber each containing a distinct color that when viewed in placement of the instant invention, provides a combination color or rainbow type product that cannot be obtained by mixing dyes in a single chamber. The invention further providing a means for allowing new color combinations not available due to dye incompatibility.
