Abstract:
A new and improved glow cup apparatus comprising, in combination:a first generally cylindrically shaped container being mildly compressible, the first generally cylindrically shaped container having a first outer wall communicating with a first outer bottom and a first inner wall communicating with a first inner bottom, the first outer wall and the first inner wall defining a first upper edge and a first continuous wall space, the first inner bottom and the first inner bottom defining a floor space therebetween, the first outer wall being extended a distance from the first outer bottom;the first outer bottom having a cylindrical recess projecting inwardly thereof, the cylindrical recess having an ribbed inner wall, the ribbed inner wall being sized and shaped to receive a twist off bottle cap;a second generally cylindrically shaped container having a second outer wall communicating with a second outer bottom and a second inner wall communicating with a second inner bottom, the second outer wall having a pair of concave recesses symmetrically positioned thereabout, the second generally cylindrically shaped container being sized for positioning within the first generally cylindrically shaped container and defining a spacing therebetween;a pair of ampules each having a thin membrane, the pair of ampules forming a first ampule and a second ampule, each of the pair ampules having a first chemiluminescent fluid therein, one of each of the pair of ampules being positioned within one of each of the pair of concave recesses of the second generally cylindrically shaped container, each of the pair of ampules being retained within concave recesses when the second generally cylindrically shaped container being positioned within the first generally cylindrically shaped container;a second chemiluminescent fluid being sealed within the spacing between the first generally cylindrically shaped container and the second generally cylindrically shaped container;an upper rim about the second generally cylindrically shaped container, the upper rim having a first horizontal portion extending outwardly therefrom and a second horizontal portion spaced therefrom and extending from the upper rim, the first horizontal portion engaging the upper edge of the first outer wall of the first generally cylindrically container for enclosing the spacing of the first generally cylindrically shaped container and the second generally cylindrically shaped container; andthe first generally cylindrically shaped container having a force applied to the a first outer wall for compressing the first inner wall against the pair of ampules to rupture the thin membrane, the thin membrane of the pair of ampules being ruptured allows the first chemiluminescent fluid to flow into the spacing and mix with the second chemiluminescent fluid to produce a chemiluminescent reaction.
