Abstract
Abstract Refillable containers adapted for the visable display of at least dual-colored light generated from chemiluminescent substances acting in cooperation with luminescent inserts, compositions, or coatings associated with at least one wall of the container. Some containers include refill openings covered by removable closures. Some other containers are formed by snapping together members forming their walls, while others have closures hinged to the container body. The containers are adaptable for use as substantially spill-proof, display, costume jewelry and, most importantly, as substantially pollution-free chemiluminescent light generating fish lures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A refillable container adapted for the visible display of light emitted from an activated chemiluminescent, light emitting substance comprising: a body having walls at least some of which define a substantially liquid-tight, chemiluminescent reaction zone retaining said chemiluminescent light emitting substance and Including an opening for ingress and egress of said substance into and out of said reaction zone, closure means cooperating with the edge of said opening to establish a substantially liquid-tight seal therewith, at least a portion of a wall of said body defining said reaction zone being formed of a light transmitting material, luminescent means associated with at least one wall of said body and cooperating with the light emitted from said substance present in said reaction zone to produce a visible, at least dual-colored light emission from said body, and means for attaching fishing tackle to said containers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A refillable container adapted for the visible display of light emitted from an activated chemiluminescent, light emitting substance comprising: a body having walls at least some of which define a substantially liquid-tight, chemiluminescent reaction zone retaining said chemiluminescent light emitting substance and Including an opening for ingress and egress of said substance into and out of said reaction zone, closure means cooperating with the edge of said opening to establish a substantially liquid-tight seal therewith, at least a portion of a wall of said body defining said reaction zone being formed of a light transmitting material, luminescent means associated with at least one wall of said body and cooperating with the light emitted from said substance present in said reaction zone to produce a visible, at least dual-colored light emission from said body, and means for attaching fishing tackle to said containers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The container of claim 1 including at least two liquid-tight, refillable reaction zones physically separated one from the other within said body, each of which zones is adapted to retain a light emitting chemiluminescent material and to display visibly at least dual-colored light emitted from said body during reaction of said material in each said zone.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
The container of claim 1 wherein said luminescent means associated with at least one wall of said body includes a fluorescent coating adapted to produce, in association with the light generated within said reaction zone when it contains said substance, a visible, at least dual-colored light emission from said body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
129 words
A fish lure adapted for fishing under reduced natural light intensity conditions comprising: a body having walls at least some of which are transparent and define a chamber containing a chemiluminescent light emitting material, an opening in said body for introducing said chemiluminescent light emitting material into said chamber, closure means cooperating with the edge of said opening to establish a liquid-tight seal therewith and to seal said chamber, a colored, fluorescent, light reflective material associated with on at least a portion of a wall of said chamber, means for attaching a hook to said body, said colored, fluorescent material disposed in cooperative relationship with light generated by said chemiluminescent light emitting material present in said zone to produce a visible, at least dual-color light emission from said body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
129 words
A fish lure adapted for fishing under reduced natural light intensity conditions comprising: a body having walls at least some of which are transparent and define a chamber containing a chemiluminescent light emitting material, an opening in said body for introducing said chemiluminescent light emitting material into said chamber, closure means cooperating with the edge of said opening to establish a liquid-tight seal therewith and to seal said chamber, a colored, fluorescent, light reflective material associated with on at least a portion of a wall of said chamber, means for attaching a hook to said body, said colored, fluorescent material disposed in cooperative relationship with light generated by said chemiluminescent light emitting material present in said zone to produce a visible, at least dual-color light emission from said body.
