２、図３と同様である。FIG. 4 shows another example of the jug of the present invention, in which the printed circuit board 11 on which the optical sensor 8, the voice output means 9 and the battery 10 are mounted is not mounted on the bottom cover 7, but the bottom portion of the main body 2 is mounted. It is fixed on the back side of. Then, when light reaches the optical sensor 8 from the transparent light-entering portion 12 provided on the bottom cover 7, the battery 10 is turned off.
The sound is emitted in the same manner as N, and the sound is stopped when the light to the optical sensor is blocked. The other structures are the same as those in FIGS. 2 and 3.
【００１４】なお、底蓋７は少なくとも入光部が透明体
