Abstract:     Systems and apparatus for generating bioluminescence, and combinations of these systems and apparatus with inanimate articles of manufacture to produce novelty items are provided. These novelty items, which are articles of manufacture, are designed for entertainment, recreation and amusement, and include toys, paints, slimy play material, textiles, particularly clothing, bubbles in bubble making toys and other toys that produce bubbles, balloons, personal items, such as bath powders, body lotions, gels, powders and creams, toothpastes and other dentifrices, soaps, body paints, and bubble bath, foods, such as gelatins, icings and frostings, beverages such as beer, wine, champagne, soft drinks, and glowing ice, fountains, including liquid "fireworks" and other such jets or sprays or aerosols of compositions that are solutions, mixtures, suspensions, powders, pastes, particles or other suitable formulation. Cartridges for charging and/or recharging the novelty items with bioluminescence generating systems are also provided. [French]

Description
Expand description
[From equivalent  EP0879383B1]
    The present invention relates to combinations of systems for producing bioluminescent light and articles of manufacture including toys, fountains, personal care items, fairy dust, beverages, soft drinks, foods, textile and paper products. The resulting combinations are novelty items, which, by virtue of the combination, glow or produce or expel a bioluminescent composition.
