Abstract

A flexible toy wand having a battery case at its lower end which also serves as the handle of the wand and a decorative lightable end piece at the tip of the wand. The wand is waved in a darkened area and various paths of light are created by the movement of the lighted end piece.

Claims

1. A toy wand having a flexible, hollow, tubular body of relative small diameter, a battery case integrally connected to the lower end of said body serving as a handle and enclosing a battery and a switching means, an elongated cylindrical casing integrally attached to said battery case, one end of said elongated casing extending past the housing of said battery case, said tubular body housed within said cylindrical casing so that the portion of said cylindrical casing extending past said battery housing reinforces said tubular body during movement, a light source positioned at the upper end portion of said body, and connected in series through said body with said battery and switching means, whereby when the battery case is grasped and moved in a circular or elliptical path, said tubular body will flex, said end piece being made of flower-like, flexible, translucent plastic strips, surrounding said light source, so as to make visible the light source.
