Abstract
An illuminatable beverage accessory device having at least one light; at least one power source; a cartridge having a chamber for the light and a chamber for the power source which is either adapted to permit the power source, upon suitable application of external force, to reciprocally translate from one side (to turn the light on) to the other side (to turn the light off) or which uses a push-button switch device; and a housing having a cavity therein covering the cartridge. It is preferably constructed in a water-tight fashion to permit its use and illumination in a liquid. It is also preferably constructed to simulated a partially melted ice cube or ice berg and is adapted to house and display messages of various three-dimensional objects from within.
Claims44
An illuminatable beverage accessory device comprising:
- a. at least one light source;
- b. at least one power source switchably connected to said light source;
- c. a cartridge having a light-source chamber to contain said light source, a power-source chamber below said light-source chamber, and two wire lead channels on the cartridge underside and in communication with said light-source chamber;
- d. a lid under said cartridge, said lid having a lid chamber mating with said power-source chamber to thereby contain said power-source therein and further having a power-switching means for powering said at least one light source into and from an on-light mode into and from an off-light mode;
- e. a housing covering said cartridge and said lid such that a cavity is defined therein and a water-tight integrity is maintained within said housing;
- and
- f. a filler within said cavity, said filler adapted to retain heat when said device is heated.
An illuminatable beverage accessory device comprising:
- a. at least one light source;
- b. at least one power source switchably connected to said light source;
- c. a cartridge having a light-source chamber to contain said light source, a power-source chamber below said light-source chamber, and two wire lead channels on the cartridge underside and in communication with said light-source chamber;
- d. a lid under said cartridge, said lid having a lid chamber mating with said power-source chamber to thereby contain said power-source therein and further having a power-switching means for powering said at least one light source into and from an on-light mode into and from an off-light mode;
- e. a housing covering said cartridge and said lid such that a cavity is defined therein and a water-tight integrity is maintained within said housing;
- and
- f. a filler within said cavity, said filler adapted to retain cold when said device is cooled.
An illuminatable beverage accessory device comprising:
- a. at least one light source;
- b. at least one power source switchably connected to said light source;
- c. a cartridge having a light-source chamber to contain said light source, a power-source chamber below said light-source chamber, and two wire lead channels on the cartridge underside and in communication with said light-source chamber;
- d. a lid under said cartridge, said lid having a lid chamber mating with said power-source chamber to thereby contain said power-source therein and further having a power-switching means for powering said at least one light source into and from an on-light mode into and from an off-light mode, wherein said power-switching means comprises said power-source chamber being adapted to permit said power source to reciprocally translate therein from an open light-on mode to a closed light-off mode;
- and
- e. a housing covering said cartridge and said lid such that water-tight integrity is maintained within.
