There is disclosed a cup comprising a cup body comprising an opening and provided to contain a beverage; and a handle part provided in an outer surface of the cup body and configured to be holdable by a user, wherein the handle part forms a preset angle with respect to an outer surface of the cup body so that the cup body supported by handle part is spaced from a table surface or floor when the handle part in contact with the table surface or floor, and wherein the length or width at which the handle part is formed is provided in a size such that when the handle part contacts with the table surface or floor, an imaginary normal extending from the table surface or floor to the center of gravity of the cup body to pass through the handle part.

A drinking container that can be used for various applications such as toasting for producing a sound for enjoyment at table, dinning or banquet, a bell, or further, determination of a beverage poured into the drinking container is used for producing a sound for enjoyment and comprises: a container-type resonator; and a handle connected to the resonator at a position of a node of vibration during resonance of the resonator.

A beverage container lid can include an audio speaker; a wireless transceiver to transmit and receive wireless signals; and a hardware processor to process wireless signals received by the wireless transceiver and to output audible signals through the audio speaker. The beverage container lid can also include a water-tight housing, the wireless transceiver and hardware processor contained within the water-tight housing; a drinking aperture; and a fluid channel, the fluid channel to allow fluid to pass through the drinking aperture, and the water-tight housing to prevent fluid passing through the fluid channel from contacting the wireless transceiver and hardware processor.

The present invention relates to a trackable cup device for locating a user's lost cup through electronic communication with a transmitter in a remote, and a receiver in a base member. The device is comprised of body, a top member, a base member, and a remote. The top member is primarily comprised of at least one nozzle, at least one opening, and at least one fastener. The base member is further comprised of at least one receiver, at least one speaker, and at least one battery. The remote is comprised of at least one transmitter, at least one microphone, and at least one battery. Further, the device allows a user to play prerecorded messages or sounds through the speakers to calm their children.

The Porter Air Touch is a wireless powered LED drinking glass with internal LED lights that emits light but does not require internal batteries. The drinking glass internal LED lights receive energy via a large flat surface that emits an electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field emitted from the two inductive plates permeates through a non-conductive barrier that reaches the bottom of the LED drinking glass. Two metallic drinking glass aluminum contact plates along the bottom of the LED drinking glasses absorb the electromagnetic energy from the inductive plates and powers the LED lights wirelessly.

The present invention describes a container which is capable of creating a sound through the displacement of air within a channel in the container.

A food container with a lid on the top of the left side, and a bottle can be attached on the right side proprietary design a toy/rattle can also be connected to the central via a Velcro strip thus the unit provides two food/drink options and a toy 3-in-1 the proprietary design of the bottles sippy cups and snacks containers allows their bases to be fixed to the centered between them via a twist-and-lock mechanism as with a standard child-proof pill bottle top the bases of the proprietary bottles sippy cups and snacks food containers are flat so they can stand upright on a counter or in a refrigerator as with ordinary bottles sippy cups and snack food containers.
