  • Publication number: 20050013135
    Abstract: The invention pertains to the use of a bottle cap tunnel that is designed to force a bottle cap to spiral and ricochet back and forth as the bottle cap travels down the bottle cap tunnel. The invention is designed for a novelty. The fact that as the bottle cap travels down the bottle cap tunnel, there are also sets of lights positioned to flash at the same time it takes for the bottle cap to reach the bottom of the bottle cap tunnel. The lighting pattern flashes have several different modes that the consumer can choose by the simple pushing of a momentary switch.
