Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic chemical light device having a wrinkle structure and a method of manufacturing the electronic chemical light device.

The present invention relates to an electronic chemical light device and a method for manufacturing the electronic chemical light device which illuminate a fishing lure or a fishing line on the water or water surface with light generated from an LED lamp in a nighttime or in a dark environment so as to easily grasp the fishing lure or fishing line.

Generally, a fishing rod is used as a means for confirming the presence of fish in water. The fishing rod keeps the buoyancy and bait in the water while maintaining the constant buoyancy, and it conveys the bite of the fish which is transmitted on the fishing line. The movement of the fishing rod is perceived by a person through the movement of the top of the fishing rod exposed on the water. However, under night or dark environments, it is not easy for a person to perceive the movement of a fishing rod or a fishing line.

A light emitting device called "chemilite" is used as a means for illuminating fishing rods or fishing rods in a nighttime or dark environment so as to better recognize their movement. Chemilite is a chemical containing a chemical substance that phosphoresces in a tube having a substantially cylindrical shape, and is usually used by being fitted in a ring attached to a fishing line. However, chemilite has low luminance, low visibility, and short emission life.

On the other hand, there has been proposed an electronic chemical light device for illuminating fishing rods or fishing lines with LED light. As an example of a conventional electronic chemilite device, there is an electron chemiluminescent device in which a pin cell can be detachably inserted into an LED cap having a tube structure including LED and electrode terminals. In such a conventional electronic chemilite device, when the pin cell is inserted into the LED cap, the terminals of the pin cell are connected to the electrode terminals provided in the LED cap so as to light the LED. At this time, when the pin battery is separated from the LED cap, the LED is turned off.

However, such a conventional electronic chemilite device has a disadvantage in that the water tightness of components for operating the LED and the LED is poor. Particularly, even when the pin battery is coupled to the LED cap, there is a gap between the pin battery and the LED cap, and moisture or water reaches the LED or terminal in the LED cap through the gap, resulting in short and / or connection failure .
