Abstract
A light-up object includes a rubberized outer body; a plug in a cavity of the outer body; and a lighting device located in the plug. The light-up object further includes a first inner capsule piece, the first inner capsule piece located in the plug, and a second inner capsule piece located in the cavity of the outer body, the second inner capsule piece shaped to engage with the first inner capsule piece. The first and second inner capsules are threaded to fit together. The outer body includes grooves, running around multiple circumferences of the outer body. The outer body has a size of approximately a baseball; the outer body is shaped approximately like a sphere; and the grooves are at least 5 mm deep in the outer body.
Claims16
A light-up device comprising:
- a rubberized outer body that includes a pair of first depressions on opposing first and second sides of the outer body, a plurality of second depressions on only the first side of the outer body and radially adjacent one of the pair of first depressions, a plurality of third depressions on only the second side of the outer body and radially adjacent the other of the pair of first depressions, and a plurality of grooves defined within an outer surface of the outer body, the plurality of grooves extending between the pair of first depressions, each of the plurality of grooves in open communication with the pair of first depressions, at least one of the plurality of second depressions, and at least one of the plurality of third depressions;
- a plug in a cavity of the outer body, the plug accommodating a rechargeable battery and a charge port;
- and
- a lighting device located in the plug.
A light-up device comprising:
- an outer body having a cavity that ends in a threaded member;
- a plug having a screw section with a treaded outer portion that is configured to selectively interconnect to the threaded member, the screw section having a notch on an upper end thereof configured to receive a tool, the screw section also having an at least partially hollow interior that accommodates a control board that accommodates and/or communicates with an accelerometer;
- a rechargeable battery interconnected to the control board;
- a charge port electrically coupled to the rechargeable battery and interconnected to the control board;
- a lighting device positioned in the hollow interior and electrically coupled to the control board and the rechargeable battery;
- and
- a cap that interfaces with the screw section to substantially seal the hollow interior, wherein the charge port can be accessed through the cap.
