Abstract
A container sleeve apparatus includes an arcuate or cylindrical body that can be positioned on a cylindrical or conical container, such as a tumbler, cup, can or bottle. A transparent or translucent insert section that can be releasably attached to the sleeve body. The sleeve body can be made of a non-slip, elastic material, such as neoprene rubber. The insert section can be made of plastic, and can include a logo printed or engraved thereon. The apparatus can include a light emitting device that illuminates the transparent/translucent insert section.
Claims20
An apparatus for positioning on a beverage container comprising:
- (a) an arcuate body adapted to receive and frictionally engage a beverage container;
- and
- (b) a light assembly attached to the arcuate body, the light assembly comprising a light emitting device, a power source operatively connected to the light emitting device to supply power to the light emitting device, and an on/off mechanism operatively connected to the light emitting device, wherein engaging the on/off mechanism causes the light emitting device to emit light.
A container apparatus comprising:
- (a) a container adapted for containing a beverage, the container comprising a base and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base;
- (b) a light assembly positioned on the container, the light assembly comprising a light emitting device attached to an outer surface of the sidewall of the container, a power source operatively connected to the light emitting device to supply power to the light emitting device, and an on/off mechanism operatively connected to the light emitting device, wherein engaging the on/off mechanism causes the light emitting device to emit light;
- (c) an elastic sleeve positioned on the outer surface of the sidewall of the container having a central opening formed therein;
- and
- (d) an insert section releasably attached to the elastic sleeve and covering the central opening of the elastic sleeve, wherein the insert section is comprised of a transparent or translucent material and is aligned with the light emitting device whereby the light emitting device emits light through the insert section.
A container apparatus comprising:
- (a) a container adapted for containing a beverage comprising a base, an outer sidewall extending upwardly from the base and comprised of a transparent or translucent material, and inner sidewall positioned interiorly to the outer sidewall, the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall defining a space between;
- and
- (b) a light assembly comprising a plurality of light emitting devices operatively connected to a power source and an on/off mechanism, the plurality of light emitting devices positioned in the space between the inner sidewall and the outer sidewall.
