Claims22
A hand-held drinking apparatus, comprising:
- a vessel having an open end and a closed end;
- a handle associated with the vessel and extending outwardly therefrom;
- a shaft secured to the handle;
- and
- an object mounted for rotation on the shaft and defining an axis of rotation located in a plane extending substantially radially from the vessel and which intersects the vessel at at least one of the open end and the closed end.
A hand-held drinking apparatus comprising a vessel having an open end and a closed end, a handle associated with the vessel and extending outwardly therefrom in a predetermined direction, a shaft mounted on the handle, and a bead defining an outer surface mounted for rotation on the shaft such that at least half of the outer surface of the bead is visible from a point in spaced relation to the drinking apparatus, wherein the handle defines an uppermost surface and the entire bead is located above the uppermost surface of the handle.
A hand-held drinking apparatus, comprising:
- a vessel having an open end and a closed end;
- a handle associated with the vessel and extending outwardly therefrom, the handle defining an uppermost surface and including at least one support member attached to the vessel and a grip member associated with the at least one support member, wherein a generally vertically-extending plane passes through the grip member and support member;
- and
- an object rotatably mounted on the handle in such a manner that it is permanently fixed in a predetermined location on the handle, the object defining an axis of rotation located in the generally vertically-extending plane at one of a level corresponding to the uppermost surface of the handle and a level in spaced relation to the uppermost surface of the handle and the handle itself.
A hand-held drinking apparatus, comprising:
- a vessel having an open end and a closed end;
- a handle associated with the vessel and extending outwardly therefrom, the handle defining an uppermost surface;
- and
- a rotatable object secured to the handle, the rotatable object defining opposing ends and an axis of rotation between the opposing ends, the entire axis of rotation between the opposing ends of the rotatable object being located at one of a level corresponding to the uppermost surface of the handle and a level above the uppermost surface of the handle and the handle itself, wherein the object defines an outer surface and at least half of the outer surface of the object is visible from a point in spaced relation to the drinking apparatus.
