Abstract
The invention relates to the use of chemiluminescent light for the illumination of liquids contained in transparent or translucent containers. The methods used are the use of reactants already mixed but preserved under very cold conditions, below -40.degree. C., to freeze the chemiluminescence reaction and the use of chemiluminescent compounds reactivating extemporaneously at the desired moment. The two systems of use of this process are to carry it out either in the liquid to be illuminated or outside the latter.
Claims24
Apparatus comprising a container with at least partially transparent or translucent walls for containing a liquid, and a chemiluminescent light source, said light source comprising a tight envelope, transparent or translucent, containing appropriate reactants producing the chemiluminescence, wherein said container has a bottom portion for receiving said envelope, said envelope being exclusively surrounded by a material of said bottom portion so as not to affect a capacity of said container.
Apparatus comprising a container with at least partially transparent or translucent walls for containing a liquid, and a chemiluminescent light source, said light source comprising a tight envelope, transparent or translucent, containing appropriate reactants producing the chemiluminescence, characterized in that the container has a bottom intended to receive the envelope which is exclusively surrounded by the material of the bottom so as to not affect the capacity of the container,
- wherein said envelope has a form of a small container having two compartments containing the reactants, an internal wall between the two compartments, and external walls of a material with a flexibility adapted to its use, one of said external walls having at least one point on an internal surface thereof for puncturing said internal wall wherein said internal wall has, at places corresponding to the at least one point, zones of fragility facilitating piercing by said at least one point, thereby enabling puncturing of said internal wall separating the two compartments containing the reactants whose mixing induces the chemiluminescence by applying pressure to said external walls.
Apparatus comprising a container with at least partially transparent or translucent walls for containing a liquid, and a chemiluminescent light source, said light source comprising a tight envelope, transparent or translucent, containing appropriate reactants producing the chemiluminescence, characterized in that the container has a bottom intended to receive the envelope which is exclusively surrounded by the material of the bottom so as to not affect the capacity of the container,
- wherein said envelope has a form of a small container comprising two compartments having external walls and including an internal wall therebetween and separating the two compartments (C1, C2) constituting the container and containing the reactants whose mixing induces the chemiluminescence, said internal wall having at least one zone of fragility facilitating its breakage by pressure or shearing movement of the external walls.
Apparatus comprising:
- a container for containing a liquid,
- said container further including:
- walls, said walls having at least a partially light transmitting characteristic, and
- a chemiluminescent light source,
- said chemiluminescent light source comprising:
- an envelope having at least a partially light transmitting characteristic,
- said envelope containing reactants for inter-acting with each other to produce chemiluminescence;
- wherein said container has a bottom portion, separated from said liquid containing portion and having a hollowed portion shaped for receiving said envelope so that said envelope is surrounded thereby so as to avoid affecting the capacity of the liquid containing portion of said container.
