Chemiluminescent Beverage Container

Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a container with luminescence capable of being selectively engaged by a user. In one embodiment of the present invention, the luminescence may be the result of a chemical reaction between two different chemicals initially isolated from one another and always isolated from the beverage contained therein.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A luminescent beverage container comprising:
 a top and bottom and side walls, said side walls having an inner and an outer wall with a first space between said inner and outer walls and a second space comprising fluid-impermeable containing means for storing a fluid therein, a first reactant at least partially filling said space, a top cap and a bottom cap;   said bottom cap comprising a cavity; said cavity to comprise a second reactant; a means for isolating said first reactant from said second reactant; and   a means for mixing said first reactant with said second reactant.   
     
     
         2 . The beverage container of  claim 1  wherein the first reactant is oxalate. 
     
     
         3 . The beverage container of  claim 1  wherein the second reactant is an activator. 
     
     
         4 . The beverage container of  claim 1  wherein the second space comprises a beverage. 
     
     
         5 . A luminescent beverage container, comprising:
 an outer body having a top neck and a bottom neck, an inner body comprising a top neck comprising a continuous screw thread formed externally and helically around a circumference of the top neck; said inner body configured to fit within said outer body while forming a space between the inner surface of said outer body and the outer surface of said inner body, wherein said space includes a first reactant;   a first cap comprising a channel configured to engage the continuous screw thread about the inner body,   a second cap comprising another channel configured to engage the bottom of said outer body, wherein said cap includes a second reactant.   
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 5  wherein said first reactant is an activator. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 6  wherein said second reactant is oxalate. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 5  further comprising a closure configured to fit over the top of said second cap. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 8  further comprising a cutting means, said cutting means located at the bottom of said inner body and configured to pierce said closure when said bottom cap is rotated about its central axis. 
     
     
         10 . A luminescent beverage container comprising:
 a top and bottom and side walls, said side walls having an inner and an outer wall with a first space between said inner and outer walls and a second comprising fluid-impermeable containing means for storing a fluid therein, a first reactant at least partially filling said space, a top cap and a bottom cap;   said bottom cap comprising a pouch; said pouch to comprise a second reactant   a cutting means configure to pierce said pouch when said bottom cap is rotated about its central axis.   
     
     
         11 . The beverage container of  claim 10  wherein the first reactant is oxalate. 
     
     
         12 . The beverage container of  claim 11  wherein the second reactant is an activator.
