Abstract
Abstract A chemiluminescence device includes a cylindrical, transparent, and flexible container having a hollow and a groove capable of clamping articles in the form of a stick, a pipe, a wire, a line or the like. An ampule is provided in the hollow of the container and has a hollow breakable at a time of breaking the seal thereof. Two liquid substances for chemiluminescence are contained in the hollows of the container and the ampule, respectively, and are capable of performing chemiluminescence when mixed with each other in the container. The groove has an opening whose width is smaller than a bore of the groove, so that the groove is capable of clamping the article to be attached by elastic force from the container. A holder can be used for preventing the chemiluminescence device from dropping from the article.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A chemiluminescence device attachable to articles in the form of a stick, a pipe, a wire, a line or the like, and capable of performing chemiluminescence, said chemiluminescence device comprising: a container constituted of a transparent, flexible material, said container extending in a longitudinal direction between ends thereof in opposition to each other and having a hollow therein and a substantially cylindrical configuration with a groove extending in said longitudinal direction, said groove defining an opening having width smaller than a bore of said groove so that said groove is capable of clamping the articles to be attached; an ampule provided in said hollow of said container, having a hollow whose seal is breakable; and two liquid substances for chemiluminescence at a time that mixed with each other, contained in said hollow of said container and in said hollow of said ampule, respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
A chemiluminescence device attachable to articles in the form of a stick, a pipe, a wire, a line or the like, and capable of performing chemiluminescence, said chemiluminescence device comprising: a container constituted of a transparent, flexible material, said container extending in a longitudinal direction between ends thereof in opposition to each other and having a hollow therein and a substantially cylindrical configuration with a groove extending in said longitudinal direction, said groove defining an opening having width smaller than a bore of said groove so that said groove is capable of clamping the articles to be attached; an ampule provided in said hollow of said container, having a hollow whose seal is breakable; and two liquid substances for chemiluminescence at a time that mixed with each other, contained in said hollow of said container and in said hollow of said ampule, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A chemiluminescence device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a holder constituted of a transparent or semitransparent material in a pipe shape with a slit having an inner diameter fitting to the outside of said container.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A chemiluminescence device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said holder includes an organic fluorescent substance.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A chemiluminescence device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said holder has a letter or a picture on a surface thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A chemiluminescence device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said material is a resin of a group of polyolefin.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
120 words
An apparatus for illumination comprising; a chemiluminescence device comprised of a container constituted of a transparent, flexible material, said container extending in a longitudinal direction between ends thereof in opposition to each other and having a hollow therein and a substantially cylindrical configuration with a groove extending in said longitudinal direction, said groove defining an opening having a width smaller than a bore of said groove so that said groove is capable of clamping an article to be attached; reflecting means for reflecting the light from the chemiluminescence device formed with a reflecting face thereof; at least one of protruding portions formed so as to be clamped by the groove of the chemiluminescence device and disposed at said reflecting face.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
120 words
An apparatus for illumination comprising; a chemiluminescence device comprised of a container constituted of a transparent, flexible material, said container extending in a longitudinal direction between ends thereof in opposition to each other and having a hollow therein and a substantially cylindrical configuration with a groove extending in said longitudinal direction, said groove defining an opening having a width smaller than a bore of said groove so that said groove is capable of clamping an article to be attached; reflecting means for reflecting the light from the chemiluminescence device formed with a reflecting face thereof; at least one of protruding portions formed so as to be clamped by the groove of the chemiluminescence device and disposed at said reflecting face.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
An apparatus for illumination as set forth in claim 6, further comprising a grip disposed at the back of said reflecting means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus for illumination as set forth in claim 6, further comprising a double sided adhesive tape disposed at the back of said reflecting means.
