Embodiment Construction

[0051] In general, various embodiments of the present invention find application in the fields of sports, entertainment, emergency and security. In particular, various objects designed for use in various sports, entertainment, emergency, and safety-related activities are activated in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention and in response cause the objects to emit visible light. In this way, objects become self-illuminating thereby facilitating their use during non-daylight hours or in other areas otherwise surrounded by darkness. Using a self-illuminating object of the present invention is also beneficial during daylight hours, as the self-illuminating effect produced by the self-illuminating object can also be beneficial during light conditions. Additionally, no light source is required to activate the glow of a self-illuminating object, nor does a self-illuminating object require a separate light source to become visible.

[0052] Instead, chemilumines...

Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for the self-illumination of various objects designed for use in sports, entertainment, safety, and emergency related activities. The objects are caused to self-illuminate by chemiluminescence to facilitate usage of the objects during non-daylight hours or in areas that are otherwise surrounded by darkness. Chemiluminescence may be activated through a variety of injection, acceleration, or tactile manipulation that are utilized to cause emission of visible light from within one or more cavities of the objects, from exterior portions of the objects, or from various inserts of the objects. Subcutaneous layers are also provided that may be caused to emanate visible light through chemiluminescence.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to sports, entertainment, emergency and safety equipment and in particular to self-illuminating sports, entertainment, emergency and safety equipment. Background technique [0002] The advent of sports and entertainment has brought an incalculable number of hours of enjoyment to all who have participated, both from the standpoint of the participants and the spectators. Before the introduction of stadium lighting, however, all group sports were devoted to daytime competition. Organized baseball, for example, did not see its first nighttime games until the 1880s when carbon lights were introduced to provide illumination for baseball games played during non-daylight hours. The lighting developed for this game was suboptimal, producing only enough illumination to discern pitcher movement and giving the impression that a nighttime sporting event would be unrealistic. [0003] From the 1880s onwards, however, such nu...
