Abstract

PURPOSE: To light up a drink in a glass to enjoy a high class atmosphere at a low cost by providing a light source in a coaster, and forming a waterproof circuit. CONSTITUTION: Printing is applied by using an opaque ink to a printing region in a rear face of a thin transparent sheet 1 made of a transparent resin, and in this case, only a central part of the transparent sheet 1, as a transparent part 1a, is not subjected to the printing. This transparent sheet 1 is bonded to an upper case 3 having a hole part 3a corresponding to the transparent part 1a in a central part by using a transparent pressure sensitive adhesive double coated tape 2. On a lower case 4 having three places of protrusions 4a arranged well-balancedly (for forming a waterproof circuit) underneath thereof, an emitter 6 and a battery 7 and a downward facing switch 5 on both sides thereof are provided and connected to each other with wiring, while the upper case 3 and the lower case 4 are fixed with machine screws 8. When a glass with a drink therein is placed on a cover, the emitter 6 is lighted by operation of the switch 5, light beams illuminate the glass, the drink and ice inside thereof or the so as to easily create a high class atmosphere.

In FIG. 1, a printing area 1b on the back surface of a transparent sheet 1 made of a thin transparent resin is printed with an opaque ink. At this time, only the central portion of the transparent sheet 1 is not printed as the transparent portion 1a. The transparent sheet 1 configured as described above is attached to the upper case 3 having the hole 3a corresponding to the transparent portion 1a in the center by using the transparent double-sided tape 2. On the lower case 4 having the three protrusions 4a arranged in a well-balanced manner on the lower side, the light emitting body 6 and the battery 7 and the downward switch 5 on both sides of the light emitting body 6 are provided in the central portion, connected by wiring, and the operation of the switch 5 is performed. An electric circuit for lighting the light emitter 6 is provided. The upper case and the lower case configured as described above are stopped by three screws 8.

きる。The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and when using the present invention, the light source emits light only by placing the glass containing the drink on the cover. Therefore, it is possible to easily create a high-class atmosphere by shining light on the glass, drinks, ice, etc. In addition, even if water in the glass spills, water is prevented from entering from above the transparent printing sheet attached so as to cover the entire upper part, and water is introduced from below by the three protrusions provided in the lower part. Can be prevented at a low cost.
