An octagonally-shaped, orange colored sign display (10) having intelligible, informational indicia (20) thereon, such as “CALL 911,”using chemi-luminescence to provide illumination from within the indicia in emergency situations. The indicia consist of a series of separate, hollow, formed containers
An octagonally-shaped, orange colored sign display (10) having intelligible, informational indicia (20) thereon, such as “CALL 911,”using chemi-luminescence to provide illumination from within the indicia in emergency situations. The indicia consist of a series of separate, hollow, formed containers, which are made of at least translucent, if not transparent, material and contain a special, generally isolated chemical, which is ultimately mixed with another special chemical located in an upper, horizontally disposed, reservoir tube (30/330), with the tube connected to the indicia containers by connector lines (40). A membrane divider (31/331) extends across the bottom portion of the reservoir tube, isolating the upper chemical from the lower chemical, until steps are taken to break or rupture it. The two chemi-luminescent chemicals are mixed by breaking the membrane by bending the tube until the membrane breaks. The chemi-luminescent reaction causes the indicia to brightly stand out against the background of the display due to their internal illumination and thereby be highly visible or noticeable, as well as easily intelligible, to passing motorists or other passers-by. The reservoir and individual indica can be made from transparent plastic tubes, with the latter being made in the form of the desired lettering of the indicia, with a separate, horizontally disposed reservoir being provided for each line of lettering. In an alternative embodiment (FIGS. 4-6) both chemicals are contained in a dual compartmented, replaceable reservoir which snaps onto the tops of the indicia and, thereafter, on activation flow into the indica to internally illuminate them.

A display, such as a sign or the like, comprising: a base surface; a hollow reservoir supported in association with said base surface; at least a first, chemi-luminescent chemical in liquid form contained in said reservoir; a series of individual, spaced, hollow, translucent, indicia elements suppor
A display, such as a sign or the like, comprising: a base surface; a hollow reservoir supported in association with said base surface; at least a first, chemi-luminescent chemical in liquid form contained in said reservoir; a series of individual, spaced, hollow, translucent, indicia elements supported on said base surface, each of said elements having a hollow interior and following and presenting the form of intelligent or artistic indicia, said reservoir being communicatively connected to said series of indicia elements but being isolated from said interior of said elements by an easily rupturable divider; and a second, chemi-luminescent chemical in liquid form contained in either said spaced, hollow indicia or said reservoir and isolated from said first chemical, said first and second chemicals being mixed together upon the rupturing of said divider, producing significant luminescence for a significant period of time, illuminating from internally said indicia elements.
