increased from that shown in fig1 3 and 5 whereby the second end 18 of the baton 10 will be raised up from the ground a distance determined by the lateral extension of the flats 38 the baton 10 adjacent the first end 16 will remain on the ground and the distance the second end 18 is raised above the ground will depend in part on the magnitude of the lateral extension of the flats 38 from the socket member 28 the structure of the flats 38 both provides an anti rotation means for the baton 10 as well as enhancing the display of light when the baton 10 is set upon the ground as shown in fig2 and 5 in order to support or hold the illumination producer or generator to or within the socket member 28 the socket member 28 can include a plurality of internal threads 40 disposed circumjacent the bore 32 in addition as shown in fig5 the socket member 28 can also include in the alternative a singular annular tooth or projection 42 projecting inwardly from the sidewall 30 the projection 42 of fig5 is helical in form but could be an annular horizontal projection instead an alternative embodiment of the flats 38 could have them extend the length of the socket member 28 from the outer end 36 to the inner end 34 also to enhance the visibility of the baton 10 one or more bands or stripes 43 of fluorescent material can be painted or taped onto the body 12 of the tube 10 as shown in fig1 as illustrated in fig1 5 the illumination producer generator or source is at least one and as used with the baton 10 of the present invention two commercially available chemiluminescent light sticks.
