Abstract
A handheld neon glow in the dark confetti launching device may be described. The neon glow in the dark confetti launching device may be capable of glowing in the dark when used under black light, thereby providing a glowing neon effect. The confetti neon glow in the dark launching device may be configured with a glowing material circumferentially and internally to provide a glowing sensation while using it dispersing neon glow in the dark confetti into the air.
Claims22
A handheld confetti launching system defining a glow in the dark quality, said confetti launching system comprising:
- an at least partially hollow tube defining an elongated body having an outer surface, an inner surface, a first end and an opposing second end with a central axis running along the center of the elongated body, wherein at least a portion of the outer surface of the elongated body defines a glow in the dark quality;
- at least one confetti bundle comprising a plurality of confetti pieces wherein said confetti bundle is positioned within said hollow tube along the central axis, and wherein at least a majority of said plurality of confetti pieces define a glow in the dark quality and wherein at least one of the first end or the second end is configured for being held in a user's hand;
- wherein said at least one confetti bundle is suitably sized so that said at least one confetti bundle is ejected out of the second end of the elongated body by a force created by rotating the second end about the first end;
- and
- wherein said at least one confetti bundle is configured to burst open a predefined burst distance from said second end once ejected out of the second end.
A method of launching confetti bundles of flow in the dark confetti upwardly into the air to form an aerial display comprising:
- (i) positioning the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti tube a predetermined angle from a proximal end of the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti tube;
- (ii) flicking the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti tube with a force, wherein the force may be based on the predetermined angle;
- (iii) ejecting at least one Neon Glow In The Dark confetti bundle from a distal end of the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti tube, wherein the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti bundle may be ejected along an arcuate path into air.
An aerial display Neon Glow In The Dark confetti device comprising:
- (a) an elongated hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube having a firt and a second open ends, wherein the length of the hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube may be in the order of 6″ to 3 feet;
- (b) a plurality of Neon Glow In The Dark confetti, wherein each of the plurality of the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti are rectangular in shape, further wherein, pieces of the plurality of Neon Glow In The Dark confetti holds the ability to glow in dark under black light;
- (c) the plurality of the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti are stacked to form one or more bundles with an outer layer partially enclosing the plurality of the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti which may be stacked, wherein the outer layer may be a piece of the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti which may be of the greater length of that of the plurality of the Neon Glow In The Dark partially wrapped confetti.
A new use for an elongated hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube comprising the steps of:
- (a) cutting a large plurality of pieces of confetti from lightweight material, said pieces of confetti having elongated, rectangular or triangular shapes and are Neon Glow In The Dark confetti under black light.
- (b) inserting a large plurality of said elongated, rectangular or triangular shaped pieces of Neon Glow In The Dark confetti into said elongated hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube with the elongated length of said pieces aligned parallel to each other and to the elongated length of said Neon Glow In The Dark tube to form an aligned stack of Neon Glow In The Dark confetti extending across the diameter of said Neon Glow In The Dark tube as an intact bundle,
- (c) holding said elongated Neon Glow In The Dark tube adjacent one end and moving said Neon Glow In The Dark tube rapidly in an arcuate path with the forearm and wrist with sufficient speed to eject said bundle of pieces of rectangular-shaped Neon Glow In The Dark confetti from said Neon Glow In The Dark tube and into the air.
A large plurality of identical pieces of the Neon Glow In The Dark confetti, the plurality of pieces being stacked in the bundle, and the bundle being disposed within the hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube, the plurality of pieces of Neon Glow In The Dark confetti being sufficient for the bundle to extend across the diameter of the hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube in frictional contact with the hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube, and the lengths of the pieces being parallel to each other and to the elongated length of the hollow Neon Glow In The Dark tube.
