Abstract

A generally cylindrical lid fabricated of a translucent material has a top portion having a hollow chamber with a rigid lower wall and an upper wall being formed of a relatively flexible material and a peripheral lower lip portion having a curved central recess. A first chemiluminescent liquid is located in the hollow chamber. An ampule, located within the curved recess of the lower wall of the hollow chamber, is adapted to be broken by a user upon compression of the flexible material. A second chemical luminescent liquid, located within the ampule, is adapted to intermix with the first liquid and fill the hollow chamber.

Claims (10)

1. A cup and lid system comprising:

a cup of a generally cylindrical configuration with a first diameter and a first height being fabricated of a translucent material having a circular top lip and a circular bottom and cylindrical side edge;

a lid of a generally cylindrical configuration of a diameter and a height and being fabricated of a translucent material having a top portion and a peripheral lower lip portion extending downwardly a first distance, the top portion having a hollow chamber with a rigid lower wall and an upper wall being formed of a relatively flexible material, the lower wall having a curved central recess extending downwardly a second distance less than the first distance, the lid supporting a generally torus-shaped piece of jewelry such as a necklace or bracelet and the lid has a recess for removably receiving the jewelry;

a first chemiluminescent liquid located in the hollow chamber;

an ampule located within the curved recess of the lower wall of the hollow chamber and adapted to be broken by a user upon compression of the flexible material; and

a second chemiluminescent liquid located within the ampule and adapted to intermix with the first liquid and fill the hollow chamber, the recess being located within the space between the lower lip and extending toward the cup.

2. A cup and lid system comprising:

a cup of a generally cylindrical configuration with a first diameter and a first height being fabricated of a translucent material having a circular top lip and a circular bottom and cylindrical side edge;

a lid of a generally cylindrical configuration of a diameter and a height and being fabricated of a translucent material having a top portion and a peripheral lower lip portion extending downwardly a first distance, the top portion having a hollow chamber with a rigid lower wall and an upper wall being formed of a relatively flexible material, the lower wall having a curved central recess extending downwardly a second distance less than the first distance;

an illuminatable bulb within the lid and further including a switch and a power source coupling the bulb and switch whereby raising the switch will allow contact between electrical components for illumination purposes and wherein the lid has a recess for receiving the electrical components.
