Abstract: The present invention is a take-apart bean bag holder for carrying a beverage container such as a can. The bean bag holder is comprised of a container holder and an additional exterior double layer bag. The container holder is comprised of a top ring cover, a container, and a bottom planar ring attachment aligned in series. The exterior double layer bag is made of flexible material, and partially filled with granules such as beans or sand to give the container a squeezable feel when held in the hand. The bag is detachably attached to an exterior surface of the container holder with the location of the attachment shielded by the top ring cover. If the granules are made of heat or cold retaining granules, then the bean bag holder can be placed in a microwave to heat the granules to retain the contents of the can in a heated condition, or placed in a freezer to retain the contents of the can in the cold condition.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electronic luggage tag. The luggage tag includes an electronic circuit connected to a motion detector and also connected to a source of power such as at least one DC battery. The luggage tag also includes at least one and preferably a multiplicity of illumination means such as LEDs. In its at rest condition, the electronic circuit is in a sleep mode so that only minimal power from the battery is consumed. When the tag is jostled, the motion detector activates the electronic circuit to cause the battery to generate power to the circuit which in turn causes the LEDs to blink on and off for a period of time so that the luggage tag can be located. The luggage tag is in turn attached to a piece of luggage. The luggage tag can also retain an information card.
