  • Patent number: 12416401
    Abstract: Food carriers and methods of manufacture of the same are described, and more particularly to a food carrier that projects one or more decorative silhouettes and associated methods of manufacture. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a bucket formed of a translucent material in which a light source within the bucket illuminates the bucket interiorly and exteriorly. The translucent material of the bucket may permit the light from the light source to pass through the bucket to a region exterior to the bucket. The apparatus may include at least one decorative opening along the surface of the exterior wall to permit the light to pass through to the region exterior to the bucket, which may generate a decorative silhouette that emanates from the exterior wall of the bucket and project to the region exterior to the bucket.

  • Patent number: 11986074
    Abstract: Treat carriers and methods of manufacture of the same are described, and more particularly to a holiday treat carrier in the form of a lighted bucket, and its associated methods of manufacture. In one embodiment, a treat carrier includes a bucket formed of a translucent material in which a light source illuminates the bucket interiorly and exteriorly. A single mold process may be used to form the bucket when the translucent material is manipulated in a form of the bucket. Decorative openings permit the light to pass through to a region exterior to the bucket, and generate a decorative projected silhouette that emanates from the exterior wall of the bucket and projects to surrounding areas. At least one light-emitting diode affixed in an interior portion of a top region of the bucket serves as the light source. The light-emitting diode is placed within a cavity formed through the single process mold.
