Abstract

A kind of glow ball comprises a ball shell made of flexible and transparent material, and an empty cavity is formed in the said ball shell. The said empty cavity contains chemiluminescent reagents (2-A, 2-B), and the said chemiluminescent reagents solid or liquid or solid-liquid mixture, and the said chemiluminescent reagents are two kinds of reagent sealed separately and can generate chemiluminescent reaction when they are combined. At least one kind chemiluminescent reagent is contained in one or more breakable containers. The application adopts that the inner wall of the ball shell is with protrusions or polyhedral or many pits or grooves and/or protrusive ribs and is placed with dispersed particles, such as scraps of paper, plastic film, or small plastic particles, etc.

Claims

1. A type of glow ball comprising a ball shell consisting of flexible and transparent material and an empty cavity surrounded by the ball shell, the ball shell including an exterior surface and an inner surface, where the exterior surface of the ball shell forms an exterior of the glow ball, wherein the empty cavity contains at least two chemiluminescent reagents, the chemiluminescent reagents being solid or liquid or a solid-liquid mixture, wherein the at least two chemiluminescent reagents being encapsulated respectively are configured to generate a chemiluminescence reaction when they are combined, at least one chemiluminescent reagent sealed inside one or more breakable containers, wherein the inner surface of the ball shell is exposed to the empty cavity, wherein the inner surface of the ball shell is polyhedral or has a plurality of pits, protrusions, or pits and protrusions, or has a plurality of grooves, protrusive ribs, or grooves and protrusive ribs formed therein, and wherein the ball shell has a diameter which is 10 times or more as large as a thickness of the ball shell.

2. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein the one or more breakable containers are sealed glass containers or film capsules.

3. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein the empty cavity is set with an activating device of the one or more breakable containers.

4. The glow ball according to claim 3, wherein the activating device is a bracket capable of supporting and / or fixing the one or more breakable containers.

5. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein the ball shell is set with a hole and a sealing plug matched with the hole, a tube placed from the hole to the empty cavity of the ball shell, a blocking device set at one end of the tube in the empty cavity of the ball shell, wherein leaks are set in the blocking device, a rod set in one side of the sealing plug in the ball shell, an end of the rod provided with a piston which is matched with an inner wall of the tube for movement, the one or more breakable containers between the piston and the blocking device.

6. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein an appearance of the ball shell is spheroidal or elliptical or oval or polyhedral.

7. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein the one or more breakable containers are tubular glass ampoules.

8. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein the ball shell has a diameter which is 21.6 to 100 times as large as the thickness of the wall of the ball shell.

9. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein the inner surface of the ball shell has a plurality of protrusions.

10. The glow ball according to claim 9, wherein the plurality of protrusions has a diameter which is less than the thickness of the ball shell.

11. The glow ball according to claim 9, wherein the plurality of protrusions has a height which is 0.3 to 2 times as large as the thickness of the ball shell.

12. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein there is no fixing member, supporting member, puncturing member, or connecting rod for fixing, supporting, puncturing, or connecting the one or more breakable containers on the ball shell.

13. The glow ball according to claim 1, wherein there are two chemiluminescent reagents that are each encapsulated within separate breakable containers, the separate breakable containers positioned within the empty cavity, and wherein the one or more breakable containers are tubular glass ampoules.
