Abstract:
A flashing liquid container vessel comprising:(a) a first compartment comprised of translucent sidewalls for holding a liquid; (b) a second compartment disposed in visual communication with the first and containing an electronic assembly housed within said compartment, said assembly comprised of a battery and a printed circuit board bearing a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) said battery and printed circuit board being electrically insulated from one another; (c) a light transmitting wall separating said first compartment from said second compartment and forming a liquid impervious barrier to said first compartment; and (d) manual means connected to the vessel for actuating the battery and LEDs to cause alternating flashing of the diode bulbs and dynamic illumination of the vessel, said manual connection means further comprising: (e) electrical contact means between the battery and the printed circuit so as to cause generation of electricity through the circuit board and flashing of the LEDs; and (f) a flexible panel on the exterior of the second compartment in parallel to the light transmitting separation wall and adjacent the electrical contact means in a manner so as to activate contact between the battery and circuit upon panel depression and cause a timed dynamic blinking or flashing of the LEDs throughout the translucent sidewalls of the vessel.
