Abstract
A projectile illuminated by a chemiluminescent light source is capable of producing a stroboscopic effect when set in motion. The projectile body is a solid body preferably made of a soft, pliable material such as NERF®, in the shape of a sports ball, and the light propagates, unobstructed, through orifices in the body that allow for maximum light transmission. There need not be any ancillary components, only the light stick(s) and the soft, pliable body, however, an optional housing may be included to contain the light source. Orifices through which the light escapes the body may be modeled in the shape of team or corporate logos.
Claims16
An illuminated projectile comprising:
- a solid body having a surface;
- a cavity formed by removing a portion of the solid body;
- a light source disposed within the cavity;
- and
- one or more orifices extending from the surface to the light source, the orifices allowing unobstructed propagation of light, thus creating a stroboscopic light display when the projectile is set in motion.
An illuminated projectile comprising:
- a solid body having a surface;
- an at least partially transparent housing for disposed within the solid body;
- a light source disposed within the housing;
- and
- one or more orifices extending from the surface to the light source, the orifices allowing unobstructed propagation of light, thus creating a stroboscopic light display when the projectile is set in motion.
