Container with internal illumination source
A fluid container and dispenser have an associated source of power to energize a light source coupled in optical communication with portion of the container to energize the luminescent fluid contents before they are dispensed.
1. A fluid dispenser comprising:
a) a container having a bottom portion and an upper portion, said bottom portion surrounded by a substantially upright sidewall which extends upward to said upper portion terminating with a cap removably connected thereto, wherein said upper portion and said bottom portion of the container and said sidewall define a cavity for confining and dispensing a fluid, wherein the fluid dispenser further comprises the fluid having dispersed or dissolved luminescent material therein at least partially filling the container and wherein the sidewall of the container is deformable to squeeze the fluid from the container,
b) a transparent inner annulus that extends upward from the bottom portion of the container at least partly upward into said cavity wherein a mixing blade assembly within the container is disposed about the transparent inner annulus,
c) an illuminating base, said illuminating base further comprising an external socket for receiving a power connection, and a motor wherein the motor drives a magnet in the illuminating base which is magnetically coupled to a magnet in the mixing blade assembly,
d) a light source wherein the light source is a light emitting diode (LED) said light emitting diode emitting blue light when illuminated,
e) a means to connect the illuminating base to the bottom of the container, wherein the external socket is wired to said light source, said illuminating base removably attachable to the bottom of the container with a snap, bayonet or screwed fitting so as to dispose said light source in optical communication within the inner annulus to irradiate contents within the cavity.

c) an illuminating base, said illuminating base further comprising an external socket for receiving a power connection, and a motor wherein said motor drives a shaft that penetrates the container bottom portion said shaft having a mechanical coupling to the mixing blade assembly,
d) a light source wherein the light source is a light emitting diode (LED) said light emitting diode emitting blue light when illuminated,
e) a means to connect the illuminating base to the bottom of the container, wherein the external socket is wired to said light source, said illuminating base removably attachable to the bottom of the container with a snap, bayonet or screwed fitting so as to dispose said light source in optical communication within the inner annulus to irradiate contents within the cavity.
