System for applying chemiluminescent fluid to an object

Apparatus for applying a chemiluminescent fluid to an object, said apparatus comprising, in combination:

• reservoir means including a wall and defining an interior for holding a first component of a chemiluminescent fluid, and said reservoir means additionally defining a passageway in communication with said reservoir means interior;
• capsule means located within said reservoir means interior for holding a second component of said chemiluminescent fluid, said capsule means being frangible to release said second component of chemiluminescent fluid from said capsule means and bring said second component of chemiluminescent fluid into engagement with said first component of chemiluminescent fluid and allow mixing thereof in said reservoir means interior;
• an applicator element mounted in said passageway for receiving chemiluminescent fluid from said reservoir means interior after mixing of said first and second components of chemiluminescent fluid in said reservoir means and for applying the chemiluminescent fluid to an object upon engagement between said applicator element and said object;
• and
• closure means releasably attached to said reservoir means for maintaining said applicator element and said reservoir means interior isolated from the ambient atmosphere, said applicator element comprising a porous writing nib having a distal end for engaging an object to apply chemiluminescent fluid to the said distal end being spaced from said reservoir means wall, said reservoir means additionally comprising an end element connected to the reservoir means wall, said end element defining said passageway, and said closure means comprising a cap integrally connected to said end element by a breakable connector allowing removal of said cap from said end element upon application of outside force to said cap, said breakable connector surrounding said porous writing nib at a location closely adjacent to said writing nib and between said reservoir means wall and said writing nib distal end, and said writing nib being comprised of a porous material chemically inert with respect to the chemiluminescent fluid in said reservoir means interior, the interstices of said porous material allowing flow of said chemiluminescent fluid through said writing nib and said porous material adapted to filter and prevent dispensing of solid material in said chemiluminescent fluid.
