text: More specifically, the applicant has invented a drinking vessel to be lifted from and replaced onto a supporting surface, comprising: a vessel with a top portion having an open mouth for receiving and dispensing fluid; a base of the vessel housing a sound-generating circuit; proximity switch means having "off" and "on" states electrically connected to energize the circuit for producing a sound when in the "on" state; timing means within the circuit for discontinuing the operation of the sound-generating means after a maximum time limit; means within the circuit to reset the timing means once the circuit is de-energized by the switch means; and the switch means being biased in the "off" state and held in the "on" state by the proximity of the bottom portion with the support surface, wherein the sound-generating means produces a sound only when the vessel is placed on the surface.
