Abstract
A drinking vessel with an attached wireless locator system comprises a detachable drinking vessel base housing having an internal receiver and a speaker powered by a rechargeable battery when the drinking vessel is placed on a contact surface portion of a charging base. The drinking vessel base and internal electronics are separate and removable which allows the drinking vessel to be washed and/or sterilized. A button on the recharging base activates a transmitter which signals the receiver on the drinking vessel to activate an audible alarm on the drinking vessel base. An illuminated lamp to further aid in finding the drinking vessel when misplaced is also provided. The charging base and transmitter receive electrical power from a standard wall outlet.
