Abstract: An illuminated wearable item includes a frame configured to resemble a prescription eyeglass frame. A plurality of bulb sockets for receiving bulbs extend from or are recessed into a top surface of the front of the frame. At least one battery is situated in a compartment in the nose bridge, and connected to the sockets by wires that are either enclosed within the frame. The battery and wires are connected to a switch having a push button or slider that extends through a opening at a top of the ose bridge. A flasher circuit or controller for providing illumination effects may optionally also be positioned in the nose bridge.

Abstract: A light-up beverage container or drinking vessel has a double wall construction made up of an inner container and an outer container, the inner container having a frustoconical, straight-walled shape and the outer container having a curved sidewall when viewed from the side. In order to achieve an attractive illuminated appearance, the curved outer sidewall of the preferred drinking vessel includes facets or prism structures formed in and extending around a circumference of the curved sidewall.

Abstract: An illuminated spinner having a handle, a motor within the handle controlled by a switch on the handle, a shaft extending from the handle, and a spinning object on which a lighting element is mounted, is provided with a decorative shell that encloses the object and is mounted on the handle, and that is constructed of at least three translucent pieces, as least two of which have different color transmitting or abo properties. The at least one light source is visible through the shell over an angle of 360® when the object is spinning and the light source is illuminated.

Abstract: A drinking vessel or beverage container such as a dome scene cup is illuminated by at least one light-up figurine, miniature, sculpture, model, or other decorative three-dimensional item that fits within an enclosure at the top of the cup. The three-dimensional item includes a self-contained lighting module with its own light source, motion sensing circuit, and power supply.

Abstract: A light-up toy with multiple play components includes an outer toy configured to contain both a viscous, squishy, gooey substance such as “slime” and a removable inner toy, the inner toy including a flexible sleeve having a toy shape, and the flexible sleeve surrounding a lighting module that includes at least one light source, such as an LED, a power source made up of one or more button cells, and circuitry and components for activating the at least one LED in response to an external stimulus, such as motion or an impact of the outer toy or the removable inner toy against a surface.

Abstract: A wearable or ornamental item is made up of at least two layers of transparent plastic that are recessed to form, when joined together, an internal passage having dimensions sufficient to loosely accommodate decorative pieces such as confetti. The wearable or ornamental item may be an eyeglass frame, and may be illuminated by LEDs fixed within the passage and connected by wires to a battery power source also fixed within the passage.

Abstract: A bladeless bubble fan includes a housing defining a plurality of inlets and having enclosed therein an impeller for drawing air through the inlets from an exterior thereof, at least a portion of the housing forming a closed geometrically shaped outer shell and defining an axial passageway therethrough. An inner air guide is received in the housing and coaxial with the closed geometrically shaped outer shell and in combination with the outer shell defines a plenum therebetween in fluidic communication with an output of the impeller and further defines a peripheral outlet of the plenum. A bubble ring is affixed to the inner air guide and coaxial therewith. The bubble ring has a plurality of closely spaced fins extending inwardly toward an axis of the axial passageway.
