Hoop and Stick Toy Combination

Abstract

A hoop and stick toy combination includes a hoop forming a closed circular loop of translucent material. Light emitters are positioned within an interior of the hoop such that an entirety of the hoop is illuminated when the light emitters emit light. A power source positioned within the hoop is electrically coupled to each of the light emitters. A rod is elongated and has a first end and a second end. The rod is tubular and is comprised of a translucent material. The rod has a bend therein positioned nearer to the second end than the first end. A catch is formed in the rod from the bend to the second end for engaging the hoop. A plurality of lights mounted in the rod illuminate the rod when turned on.

         2 . The toy kit according to  claim 1 , wherein said inner diameter is between 10.0 inches and 15.0 inches, said outer diameter being between 14.0 inches and 20.0 inches. 
     
     
         3 . The toy kit according to  claim 1 , wherein said hoop has an outer surface and an inner surface with respect to an axis of said hoop, said outer surface being convexly arcuate. 
     
     
         4 . The toy kit according to  claim 3 , wherein said hoop comprises the outer tube forming a torus. 
     
     
         5 . The toy kit according to  claim 1 , wherein said power source is activated when said hoop is rotated perpendicular to an axis of said hoop. 
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . The toy kit according to  claim 1 , wherein said catch includes a first arm extending downwardly from said bend, a central portion being attached to said first arm distal to said bend, and a second arm extending upwardly from said central portion, said bend forming an angle between said first arm and said main portion being between 70° and 90°. 
     
     
         9 . The toy kit according to  claim 8 , wherein said main portion has a length between 20.0 inches and 30.0 inches, said first and second arms each having a length between 2.0 inches and 4.0 inches, said central portion being arcuate and forming a half circle having a radius between 2.0 inches and 3.5 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The toy kit according to  claim 1 , further including a handle being attached to said first end, said battery being positioned within said handle and said switch being mounted on said handle. 
     
     
         11 . A toy kit configured to promote exercising, said toy kit comprising:
 a hoop comprising a closed circular loop having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, said inner diameter being between 10.0 inches and 15.0 inches, said outer diameter being between 14.0 inches and 20.0 inches, said hoop having an outer surface and an inner surface with respect to an axis of said hoop, said outer surface being convexly arcuate, said hoop comprising an outer tube forming a torus, said outer tube being comprised of a translucent material;   a plurality of light emitters being positioned within an interior of said hoop, said light emitters being spaced throughout said hoop such that an entirety of said hoop is illuminated when said light emitters emit light;   a power source being positioned within said hoop and being electrically coupled to each of said light emitters, said power source being activated when said hoop is rotated perpendicular to said axis;   a frame being positioned within said hoop and extending throughout said interior of said hoop, said frame reinforcing said hoop, said frame including an inner tube spaced from said outer tube, and
 a plurality of supports being attached to said inner tube and extending to said outer tube, said light emitters being positioned on said supports, each support comprising
