20090166595 | ENHANCED CHEMILUMINESCENT LIGHTING FORMULATION AND ELEMENT - A chemiluminescent formulation includes an oxalate solution including a dye and an activator solution including polyethylene oxide. The oxalate solution and the activator solution are mixed to form a chemiluminescent mixture. Chemiluminescent energy in the form of light is emitted after mixing. The polyethylene oxide substantially increases the light output from the chemiluminescent mixture compared to a non-polyethylene oxide containing formulation. | 07-02-2009 |
20090296372 | EXTERNALLY SWITCHABLE ILLUMINATED BALLOON INFLATOR - An illuminated inflator for inserting into the neck of a balloon includes a gas-tight flange having a periphery, a center, and upper and lower surfaces. A filler tube has upper and lower ends and extends through the flange, with the lower end of the filler tube extending below the lower surface the flange and the upper end of the filler tube extending above the upper surface of the flange. A one-way valve is in flow communication with the filler tube. A light assembly includes a power source and at least one light element electrically connected to the power source. The light assembly is operably mounted to the flange at the upper surface thereof. A switch is operably connected to the power source and the at least one light element for providing power to and isolating power from the at least one light element. The inflator is inserted into the balloon with the flange in the neck of the balloon defining a pressure region boundary. The bottom of the filler tube extends outside of the pressure region boundary for filling the balloon with a gas, such that the one-way valve prevents gas from escaping from the pressure region boundary through the filler tube. The switch is mounted to the inflator outside of the pressure region boundary to allow actuation/access to the switch without access to the pressure boundary and without contacting the balloon. | 12-03-2009 |
20090303704 | ILLUMINATED TOY BALLOON WITH STAND - An apparatus for illuminating the interior of a balloon, and a support for the apparatus and the balloon. The illuminating apparatus includes a plug with an integrally-formed radially extending flange insertable within the balloon neck. A hollow filler tube depends from the flange. A light element is affixed to the plug and disposed within the neck. A battery is electrically connected to the light element. Switching is provided to turn the lighting element on and off. A rigid support is operably connected to the inflator and is insertable into the ground to provide an upstanding orientation of the balloon when filled with a lighter-than-air gas or with air. | 12-10-2009 |
20110244981 | REMOTE CONTROLLED ILLUMINATED GOLF BALL - An illuminatable ball includes a sealed outer translucent shell, an inner core portion surrounded by the outer shell and a self-contained lighting device contained at least in part within the inner core portion. The lighting device includes an energy source, at least one lighting element, and an electrical circuit including a wireless receiver. The receiver receives a signal from a transmitter and provides a signal to a control circuit to switch the at least one lighting element between a deenergized state and an energized state by providing electrical energy from the energy source to the at least one lighting element. A wireless remote transmitter provides the signal to the receiver. | 10-06-2011 |
20120039069 | DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR ILLUMINATED APPAREL - A system for creating a lighted apparel design includes a light element and a securing member. The securing member has a base and a capture portion. The capture portion is located, at least in part, attached to the base and defines a capture region configured to releasably secure the light element therein. The securing member is secured to an associated apparel item and the light element secured in the capture region to create a lighted design on the apparel item. A lighted apparel item is also disclosed. | 02-16-2012 |
20120063124 | DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR ILLUMINATED APPAREL - A system for creating a lighted apparel design includes a light element and a securing member for securing the light element to the apparel item. The securing member is an adhesive. The securing member secures the light element to an associated apparel item at a desired location on the apparel item to create a lighted design on the apparel item. | 03-15-2012 |
20120081885 | ILLUMINATED CLOTHING ACCESSORY - Illuminated clothing accessories are disclosed. A glove includes a glove, light emitting elements disposed proximate finger tips of the glove, a controller coupled to the light emitting elements to control illumination thereof, a power supply coupled to the controller, and light reflecting elements disposed on a top surface of the glove. A headpiece includes a front panel on a top portion of the headpiece. The headpiece includes a top portion having a plurality of light emitting elements arranged thereon. A rim is connected to a bottom end of the top portion. A controller is coupled to the light emitting elements to control illumination thereof. A power supply is coupled to the controller and the plurality of light reflecting elements are disposed on the top portion and the rim of the headpiece. | 04-05-2012 |
