Abstract

This invention provides a cup with twinkling light effects, primarily comprising an inner cup, an outer cup, and a light unit, with the lower half of the inner cup having a number of arched convex strips, and the base of which has diamond-facet of concave and convex cones. As a result, when the light unit at the base of the outer cup is activated, the effects of the arched convex strips and diamond facets cause the cup to produce numerous refractions of the light source, creating twinkling rays of light with dazzling variation.

Claims (10)

1. A cup with twinkling light effects, comprising:

an inner cup made of translucent material, the surface of which has arched convex strips and a base with diamond-facet of concave and convex cones;

an outer cup made of translucent material which encases the outside of the inner cup, and which has an insert section at its base;

a light unit, fit within the insert section, and which has a circuit board, lighting components, and a pressure switch;

which cup, through the combination of the above components can provide a cup with superior twinkling light effects.

2. A cup with twinkling light effects, comprising:

an inner cup made of translucent material, the surface of which has arched convex strips and a base with diamond-facet of concave and convex cones;

an outer cup made of translucent material which encases the outside of the inner cup, and which has an insert section at its base and a sheet of printed film applied to its outer walls;

a light unit, fit within the insert section, and which has a circuit board, lighting components, and a pressure switch.

3. The cup with twinkling light effect as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said printed film can be affixed to the walls of the outer cup by means of heat transfer printing or roll printing, or may also be colored film or a thin plastic membrane inserted in the narrow space between the inner and outer cups.
