  • Patent number: 5123190
    Abstract: A novelty drinking container device with a disappearing object, such as a photograph such that a drinking cup is separated into top and bottom portions by a convex magnifying lens, with the lens pointed in its apex direction upward toward the mouth of the cup, and the lens is situated above an air space to permit the refraction and distortion of light rays when the cup is empty, and permitting the display of a novelty object, such as a photograph housed in a round-shaped compartment at the base of the bottom section of the cup when clear fluid is introduced into the cup. The clear fluid immerses and submerges the convex magnifying lens, thereby permitting the light rays from the air space to transmit the image of the novelty photograph clearly to the user of the container.
