Inflatable, chemi-luminescent assembly

Claim 1

A globular chemical lighting assembly comprising: A. a chemi-luminescent device constituted by two separate chambers each containing one component of a two-component chemi-luminescent system and activating means to interconnect said chambers to intermingle said components and thereby cause a light-producing reaction, whereby said device is normally in a non-reactive state; and B. an inflatable globe formed of translucent material and including conduit means communicating with the exterior of the globe adapted to receive said device and to hold it at a central position within the globe when the globe is inflated, whereby by first activating the device and then inserting it in the conduit means, the globe then functions as a globular light emitter, said conduit means being constituted by an open-ended tubular duct extending diametrically through said globe and formed of collapsible flexible material which when the globe is inflated to a level above atmospheric pressure is caused to collapse except the region therein enveloping said device which is now trapped within the duct, the collapsed portion of the duct on either side of the trapped device acting as flattened straps to hold the device in place.
