A container apparatus can receive and hold a beverage container such as a beverage can or bottle. The apparatus can include a light assembly and can be used as a flashlight. A magnet can be positioned on the outer surface of the apparatus, and the apparatus can be magnetically attached to a metal support structure, such as

An active foodware system senses food characteristics, such as weight, calories, and other nutrition. Dining dishes may be removably mated with dish holders supported by a mechanical structure having visual stimulating, sensing, and wireless communication components. A visual stimulating component may emit light from a dining dish. The mechanical structure may protect the components and circuitry from liquid. The system may include a camera. Other components may provide data processing, auditory and haptic stimuli, wireless power, temperature sensing, and heating of food. Data related to the food may be sent to the internet as well as displayed on a visual stimulating component of a computer or mobile communication device, such as a mobile phone or tablet computer. Computer software may display nutrition information on the visual stimulating component before, during, and after dining. Computer software may provide visual and auditory encouragement for children to eat.

An illuminated bottle stopper mainly includes a lighting, plug body and light transmission tube, where the lighting is a light transmission decoration of a preset shape with an optoelectronic unit configured on the bottom thereof, the plug body is tapered and assembled on the bottom of the base, a passage is longitudinally configured inside the plug body, one end of the light transmission tube is in connection with the passage of the plug body bottom, and a light source is configured to illuminate the light transmission tube, thereby allowing light to be scattered inside and outside a bottle when the plug body is inserted in the mouth of the bottle.

A double walled illuminated vessel for displaying indicia comprising an outer sleeve, an inner liner, a lens, a transparent or translucent connection ring, a base and an illumination module adapted to be inserted into the base whereby the base and connection ring are connected to each other creating a base illumination unit. Light from the illumination module passes through the hollow space between the outer sleeve and the inner liner such that the lens bearing indicia is illuminated thus prominently displaying any desired graphic, logo, design, trademark, symbol, letter, number or any other indicia. The connection ring transmits and diffuses light through the inner liner and upper rim as well as the sidewall of the connection ring. The base illumination unit is removable from the outer sleeve and can be used as an independent light source by a user. Additionally, the illumination module is rechargeable in one embodiment and can provide an adequate charge to a mobile device. Further embodiments provided for a removable lens or lens unit.

The invention relates to a convertible plate having a pedestal collar with a flange defining an interior channel for detachably securing a pedestal to the bottom of the plate, wherein detachably mounting the convertible plate on the pedestal forms a display assembly, and methods of doing the same.

Disclosed is a drinking device comprising an image element configured to produce a lighted image against the drinking device.

The present invention relates to a device for illuminating bottles that fits within and adheres to the naturally occurring concave recess at the bottom of a bottle. The device is intended to be inserted into the cavity and dimensioned to sit flush against a bottle when the device is placed within the concave recess at the bottom of the bottle. Other electrical elements may be included which provide for control of intensity, fluctuations in intensity, and to control power to the device. The device may also contain electrical components to allow wireless control of device and the ability to control device via smartphone. The device further includes an improved means for securing the device in the bottle, while maintaining a water tight seal. The device is intended to be used in conjunction with containers to provide an illumination of the bottle, creating a unique effect for displaying containers.

A tumbler including: an outer shell; an inner shell nested with the outer shell; a base; and a light source assembly; wherein: an outer surface of inner shell includes a reflective material; the outer shell includes one or more areas that are transparent or translucent; the bottom of the outer shell connects to the base, the top of the outer shell connects to the top of the inner shell, and the inner shell tapers more than the outer shell for at least a part along the length from the top to the bottom, creating a space between the inner shell and outer shell; the light source assembly emits lights into the space and the light is reflected by the reflective material to go out of the outer shell from the one or more areas that are transparent or translucent.

A decorative lighted cover for water jugs has an outer cover traversing between a top and a bottom end, with a design cutout traversing laterally through the outer cover and a light source located interior to the outer cover. The light source illuminates the interior of the outer cover, and the illumination is visible through the design cutout. An upper cover obstructs the top end of the outer cover and supports the light source near the top end. The outer cover is affixed around a water cooler's reservoir, and the illuminated design cutout provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
