Title: Chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Various types of light and glow sticks are known in the prior art. However, what is needed is a chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment that includes an illuminable member having a first end and a second end, a connect aperture disposed upon the first end, and a zip tie disposed upon the connect aperture, wherein said chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment is threadably securable to depend from an extant object and radiate light therefrom. 
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment, and more particularly, to a chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment that includes an illuminable member having a first end and a second end, a connect aperture disposed upon the first end, and a zip tie disposed upon the connect aperture, wherein said chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment is threadably securable to depend from an extant object and radiate light therefrom. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The general purpose of the chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment which has many novel features that result in a chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof. 
     The present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment has been devised to provide a ready and expedient attachment means whereby an illuminable member may be secured depending form an extant object to render light therefrom. The present invention is contemplated for use in decorating an area during festive occasions and parties, for example, or for use when camping, for example, when positioning light aloft is useful, or to render a particular object more visible when desired. The present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment is also contemplated for military use, providing an expedient means to render light aloft, and rapidly remove light therefrom, when needed. 
     The present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment includes an illuminable member having a first end and a second end. A connect aperture is disposed upon the first end and a zip tie is disposed atop the connect aperture, said zip tie threadably securable within the connect aperture in the manner of to zip ties familiar in the art. When the zip tie is threaded into the connect aperture, it is contemplated that the illuminable member will be activated and the chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment will illuminate. 
     A plurality of color chemiluminescent light sticks with zip tie attachments are contemplated as part of this invention, whereby multiple chemiluminescent light sticks may be depended from extant objects proximal to a desired area to provide more light, for example, or to arrange a colorful array of illuminable members whereby a festive atmosphere is created. 
     To interconnect chemiluminescent light sticks with zip tie attachments together, an interconnect aperture is disposed upon the second end. A zip tie of a second proximally positioned chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment may therefore be threadably inserted through the interconnect aperture of a first chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment, and then threadably secured in said second chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment&#39;s respective connect aperture (whereby said second chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment is illuminated) and thus secured in tandem. Additional chemiluminescent light sticks with zip tie attachments are thence attachable thereto, as desired, to effect an array of visually stimulating illuminable members, as desired, or to render more light from a particular area, when needed. 
     For expedient removal of each chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment, a break point is disposed upon the zip tie, where the zip tie joins to the connect aperture. The break point includes a weakened portion of the zip tie, having a shorter width and depth, whereby a person may readily snap the zip tie to remove said chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie when abrupt forcing is applied thereto. 
     Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment so that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. 
     Objects of the present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment, along with various novel features that characterize the invention are particularly pointed out in the claims forming a part of this disclosure. For better understanding of the chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, refer to the accompanying drawings and description.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular  FIGS. 1 through 6  thereof, example of the instant chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment employing the principles and concepts of the present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment and generally designated by the reference number  10  will be described. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 through 6  a preferred embodiment of the present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment  10  is illustrated. 
     The present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie fastener  10  has been devised to enable an expedient and easy means to depend an illuminable member  20  upon an extant object, whereby said illuminable member  20  may be releasably secured aloft and radiate light, as desired, therefrom. 
     The present chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment  10 , therefore, includes an illuminable member  20  having a first end  22  and a second end  24 . A connect aperture  26  is disposed upon the first end  22  and a zip tie  28  is disposed endwise upon the connect aperture  26 , said zip tie  28  activating the illuminable member  20  when threadably inserted into the connect aperture  26 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 5 , an interconnect aperture  30  is disposed endwise on the second end  24  of the illuminable member  20  and additional chemiluminescent light sticks with zip tie attachments  10  may be attached thereto by threading the zip tie  28  therethrough and then inserting said zip tie  28  into the respective connect aperture  26  whereby said chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment  10  is activated and the illuminable member  20  illuminated. 
     A plurality of colors are contemplated as part of the present invention  10 , whereby a plurality of different colored chemiluminescent light sticks with zip tie attachments  10  are interconnectable, or expediently positioned depending from an object, as desired, to decorate a particular space or to provide light, say, while camping, or to render a particular object more visible, as desired. 
     For expedient removal of each chemiluminescent light stick with zip tie attachment  10  once activated and attached to an extant object, a break point  32  is disposed upon the zip tie  28  where said zip tie  28  attaches to the connect aperture  26 . The break point  32  is a weakened portion of the zip tie  28 , and abrupt forcing against said break point  32  snaps the zip tie  28  at the break point  32 . The zip tie  28  is thus released at the break point  32 , when broken, and the chemiluminescent light stick is rapidly removable and may be discarded, as desired.
