The present invention relates to a novel, lighted seasoning dispensing device. The device is used in dimly lit environments, such as restaurants, bars, and outdoors at night. Specifically, the lighted seasoning dispensing device may be used for dispensing salt and/or spices to prevent over seasoning. The device comprises a handheld shaker with a plurality of holes at one end for dispensing salt and/or spices. The device also comprises a built-in LED lighting mechanism that is angled, such that it shines in the direction of the dispensing openings. The device operates on rechargeable batteries and utilizes a charging station which runs on solar power.

The invention comprises a hands-free, adjustable telescoping magnifying mirror. The mirror may have a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface and can be secured to a horizontal or vertical surface using a suction cup base or can be hung over a door or ledge using a retractable hanger bracket. A multi-stage telescoping rod is attached to the suction cup base and a swivel joint may be used to connect the telescoping rod to the mirror housing. The mirror may be extended from the base by extending the telescoping rod and the mirror assembly can stand freely without falling over, whether the suction cup base is engaged or not. Additionally, one or more light sources with diffuser screen may be disposed at a periphery of the first reflective surface or second reflective surface.

The invention involves the incorporation and enablement of multiple interactive elements into high-volume consumables products to increase utility, function and features of the consumable product at minimal incremental cost and adjustment to production and manufacturing processes. The invention further reports processes and compositions that enable consumable products with differentiating features which product would otherwise be deficient for their intended use and application.

Proposed is a bottle holding apparatus having a removable LED light source. The bottling apparatus includes a bottle holder body and a lighting device module. The bottle holder body is structured to accommodate a lower portion of a bottle. The lighting device module is removably fitted in the bottle holder body and is removable from underside of the bottle holder body. Light generated by an LED light source of the lighting device module is illuminated through the lower portion of the bottle accommodated in the bottle holder body, thereby providing visual lighting effects and creating a romantic atmosphere suitable for drinking alcohol.

A self-illuminated shadow box for containing mementos or the like includes a box that has an upright metallic back wall panel for attaching magnets, a transparent door spaced from the upright metallic back wall panel, a roof extending over the metallic back wall panel and the transparent wall, and a solar energized light emitting diode mounted on the roof and directed toward the metallic back wall.

Systems, devices, and techniques for producing audio for, or adding audio capability to, a collection box for delivery items that includes a user-operated door for putting items into the collection box. The system can include a processing subsystem, an audio transducer, a trigger device that is connected to, or that is part of, the door of the collection device, and a sensor. The sensor detects the trigger device when the trigger device is in close proximity (e.g., in contact), and the sensor is positioned such that it is in close proximity with the trigger device when the door is closed. In response to the trigger device moving out of close proximity, the sensor generates a signal to the processing system. In response, the processing system generates an audio signal that is converted to sound by the audio transducer, which can be heard outside of the collection box.

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.

The present invention relates to a multipurpose decorative artificial tree configured to be used in different holiday seasons for decoration. The artificial tree has detachable components and is easy to store. More specifically, the tree has a pole and a top branch having a portion therebetween which is devoid of artificial tree branches. A scene or a snow-globe like decoration is configured to be positioned between the pole and the top branch such that the tree having the scene represents a holiday season. In all embodiments, the scene is detachable and can be replaced with another scene representing another holiday season. In some exemplary embodiments, a motor powers the snow-globe like decoration for rotating the decoration and for providing power to a fan included in the snow-globe like decoration.

A drinking vessel configured to have an integrated first light source and a second light source so as to broadcast light in a first direction and a second direction. The drinking vessel of the present invention includes an integrally formed bottom and wall wherein the wall has an exterior surface. The first light source is secured to the exterior surface of the wall and is operable to project a light beam outwards from said body. The second light source is circumferentially disposed around the body proximate the lower end of the body. The second light source is configured to broadcast a light beam downwards from the vessel and around thereto. A handle is provided and the handle has a power supply disposed therein and is further configured with a switch to operate the first light source and second light source.

A multi-functional coaster for a cup or other vessel includes a base upon which the vessel can rest upside down, and a decorative body extending away from the base. The decorative body has at least a first electrically powered signal emitter, which preferably include a light emitter and a sound emitter. The decorative body and/or base can also include a fragrance emitter.
