Illuminated bottle stopper

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.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a bottle stopper, and more particularly to an illuminated bottle stopper.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

A stopper or a disposable cap that is generally incorporated into a wine bottle is damaged after opened. Therefore, a user needs to shield the bottle mouth with another article to prevent air to enter the inside of the bottle and further to achieve long term storage; most customers will use an item at their fingertips such as handi-wrap or plastic bag or a market available bottle stopper to shield the bottle mouth.

Some current bottle stoppers are designed to have decorations of different shapes on the tops thereof besides can be used to seal bottles tightly, hoping to improve the sense of design. However, for consumers and markets seeking new and changing, it is still hoped that there are more different designs and structures on stoppers to enhance the desire to buy.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To improve aesthetics and competitiveness of a bottle stopper, the present invention is proposed.

The main object of the present invention is to provide an illuminated bottle stopper, adapted to improve aesthetics and competitiveness of a bottle stopper.

To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes an illuminated bottle stopper, including: a lighting, including a light transmission decoration of a preset shape and a base in connection with a bottom of the decoration, an optoelectronic unit configured inside the base and having an circuit board and light emitting element, the light emitting element correspondingly configured below the decoration, and a bottom of the base configured with a power supply room, allowing a battery to be accepted to be in electric connection with the optoelectronic unit; a plug body, tapered from top to bottom and assembled on a bottom of the base, an outer edge of the plug body annularly configured with a soft tough element, and an inside of thereof longitudinally configured with a passage in communication with the power supply room; and a light transmission tube, one end thereof in connection with the passage on bottom of the plug body, a light source configured to illuminated the light transmission tube, and the light source in electric connection with the power supply room.

With the above structures, the lighting is adapted to emit light, and the light transmission tube guide and scatter light from the light source to improve the competitiveness of the bottle stopper when the present invention is inserted in the mouth of the bottle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring toFIGS. 1 to 3, an illuminated bottle stopper1of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, mainly includes a lighting2, plug body3and a light transmission tube4, where the lighting2includes a light transparent decoration21of a preset shape and base22in connection with the bottom of the decoration21, where the decoration21is a shell with a downward opening211. The present invention takes a Christmas tree as a shape example, but it is not used to limit its appearance structure; the decoration21may also be a solid light-transmissible body. The base22is configured with a groove221with a upward opening and a power supply room222in communication with the groove221, and the groove221is accommodated with an optoelectronic unit23having at least one circuit board231and a light emitting element232, where the light emitting element232is correspondingly configured below the decoration21, and the power supply room222is adapted to accept a battery a and is in electric connection with the optoelectronic unit23.

Furthermore, the optoelectronic unit23further has a switch233mainly used to switch on and off the battery a, and the switch233is a manual switch, light switch, touch switch or rotary switch; the present invention is described with the manual switch.

The plug body3is tapered from top to bottom and is assembled below the base22, where the outer edge of the plug body3is annularly configured with a soft tough element31, which may be made of rubber, silicone or cork, where the inside of the plug body3is longitudinally configured with a passage32in communication with the power supply room222. In the embodiment, The outer edge of the power supply room222is configured with external threads s1, and the top of the plug body3is correspondingly configured with internal threads s2in engagement with the external threads s1, but the present invention does not limit the assembly manner of the base22and plug body3, and any manner allowing the plug body3to be detachably coupled to the bottom the base22is dropped in the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment, the light transmission tube4is a hollow tube, one end of the light transmission tube4is sealed, and another end thereof is open and in connection with the mouth of the passage32on the bottom of the plug body3; the joint of the light transmission tube4and the plug body3is in a closed state, and a light source5is configured inside the light transmission tube4and in electric connection with the power supply rom222, where the light source5, in the embodiment, is in the form of a light string and includes an electric line51extended throughout the passage32of the plug body3to be in electric connection with the power supply room222. Furthermore, a plurality of spaced light emitting elements52are configured on the electric line51, where each light emitting element may be a LED or light bulb.

Further referring toFIG. 4, when the present invention is inserted in a bottle6, the soft tough element31configured on the outer edge of the plug body3is used to seal a bottle mouth61of the bottle6, and the light transmission tube4is extended in the bottle6, with the lighting2being formed into a decoration above the bottle mouth61. When the switch233is switched on, light is emitted from the light emitting element232of the optoelectronic unit23to allow the entire lighting2to illuminate on the bottle mouth61. In addition, the light source5inside the light transmission tube4is brightly lit in the bottle6, and the light is refracted and reflected by the fluid inside the bottle6, allowing the bottle6to have a dazzling visual effect. Whereby, the present invention further allows the bottle stopper1to become a lighting to increase the aesthetics and competitiveness of the product besides has the effect of sealing the bottle mouth61.

Finally, referring toFIG. 5, which shows a variant embodiment of the present invention, the present embodiment is almost similar to the above embodiment except the light transmission tube4is a solid tube in the present embodiment, where one end of the light transmission tube4is in connection with the mouth of the passage32on the bottom of the plug body3, and the light source5is an LED or light bulb; the light source is configured inside the passage32and the light emitting side of the light source5is abutted against one end of the light transmission tube4. Whereby, light emitted from the light source5is guided to the entire light transmission tube4, allowing the bottle6to have a different visual effect.
