Container sleeve apparatus and method of using same
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.
Illuminated double wall lens indicia drinking vessel
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.
CLOTHING HANGER WITH BUILT-IN LIGHTS
A clothes hanger includes a shoulder sleeve frame supporting a garment, a hook connected to the shoulder sleeve to hang on an external point, a light emitting device mounted on a top center portion of the sleeve frame, and a motion sensor communicating with the light emitting device to enable the light emitting device when external motion occurs.
DIGITAL SHADOW BOX
The present invention generally relates to display structures, and more particularly to a shadow box device for displaying items of artwork to create an impression that a piece of artwork is three-dimensional. The device may include light and sound modules which may be configured to interact with the surroundings of the device.
CHRISTMAS TREE WITH BLADES ROTATED BY WIND POWER
A Christmas tree includes a Christmas tree body. The Christmas tree body has an upright pole and a blade unit that is detachably mounted to the pole to form the Christmas tree. Blades of the blade unit are rotated around the pole by means of natural wind power, thereby improving the fun of the Christmas tree. The structure design is ingenious and reasonable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and practical. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Besides, the assembly is easy, the transportation is convenient, and the cost is low.
Illuminated weather resistant rug
An illuminated weather resistant rug for ground or floor covering for decorative or practical purposes suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The rug is illuminated by LED lights that are strung within a waterproof casing and attached to the rug within the hem or interwoven as the weft or warp of the rug. Power for the LEDS is supplied by solar, solar with battery, battery, AC plug, DC plug, 12-volt, or USB. Power source can be a direct or detachable connection to the rug. Power to the LEDS can be modulated by manual switch, automated switch, timer, photovoltaic switch or electrical controller for intensity, sequencing, coloring or pattern of illumination. Primary rug material includes any material that is weather resistant and durable enough for foot traffic or static loads such as patio furniture.
LIGHTED MIRROR ASSEMBLY
A lighted mirror assembly containing a mirror front surface including a reflective section as well as a transmissive section that is able to transmit light from a light source through the surface of the mirror glass. The light source also projects light from one or more and preferably all side surfaces of the mirror assembly. The light source is mounted in a waterproof manner within a metal channel having a cover that transmits light therethrough, such as an aluminum channel having a silicone cover.
Low voltage coupling design
Apparatus and associated methods relate to an electrical interface design architecture to independently excite each of a network of light strings and/or light string controllers with any of a number of independent excitation signals. In an illustrative example, each of the light strings may receive a selected one of the excitation signals conducted via a wiring assembly to an interface formed as a plug or a corresponding socket. In some embodiments, the interface may galvanically connect one or more of the excitation signals to a corresponding load according to user-selection of a relative orientation between the plug and the socket. In some implementations the load may include a down-stream controller that draws operating power through a selected one of the conductors at the interface. In various implementations, the interface may supply a load such as a multi-channel cable or single channel light string, for example.
POWER POLE FOR ARTIFICIAL TREE APPARATUS WITH AXIAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
Disclosed is an artificial tree having a plurality of electrified tree sections that couple together to provide power and/or command signals to devices connected thereto. One or more tree sections may have a trunk portion, one or more electrical connectors having a plurality of terminals, branches, a light string, and an electrical distribution system located at least partially within the trunk portion. A first tree section may be configured to couple to a second tree section such that an electrical connector of the first tree section is in electrical connection with an electrical connector of the second tree section, thereby mechanically and electrically connecting the first tree section to the second tree section such that power and/or the control data are transmitted to the second tree section. Further, each trunk segment may include an axial electrical connector that permits adjacent trunk segments to connect in a plurality of radial orientations relative to each other.
VOICE-ACTIVATED VANITY MIRROR
A mirror assembly can include a housing, a mirror, and a light source. In certain embodiments, the mirror is rotatable within a support portion of the mirror assembly. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly is configured to use an audio sensor or an audio signal derived from an audio sensor, such as an audio sensor or audio signal configured to sense or to correspond to or to represent one or more voice commands or other sounds (e.g., clapping, snapping, or otherwise) received from a user, in order to actuate or adjust any of one or more features or settings of the mirror assembly.
