Description

The Personalized Drink Marker Device Specification OvervieHr The inventor, while participating in an indoor sports tournament, noticed :fat most participants were paying particular attention to their beer bottles. In fact, -hey were attempting to mark or place them in a way as to assure as they left for whtever reason, their drink would remain untouched by other competitors or spectators. ~s~ith the pressing health awareness regarding transmittable diseases, individuals are now reluctant to share their glass or bottle with others even if just by accident.
This prompted thoughts about the need for an accessory that would perso~valize and therefore mark one's beer bottle, particularly during a largely attended social event.
The greatest need for this product occurs at special occasion events where:
potential exists for individuals to be drinking the same brand of beverage {particularly be~;r), and where the likelihood of an ownership confusion might occur. This situation nor~a~
poses certain health risks making the Personalized Drink Marker a socially responsible solution to the problem.
Gatherings where this product will be most in use would include, but not ~e limited to:
Hockey Tournaments ~ Athletic Banquets ~ Indoor Sporting Events and Tournaments ~ Concerts ~ Virtually event where people congregate and where beer is alloweI and sold It is especially prevalent at functions sponsored by a particular beverage Producer where chances are increased that most people will be drinking the same brand, r~~aking it even more difficult to distinguish one persons drink from another.

Description The invention is an accessory for any bottle with a neck, most commonly he beer bottle.
Its most common consumers will be the beer drinking public. The product is a fabric band made from elasticized material that provides the ability to expand ar;d contract as to fit snuggly onto the neck of the bottle.
Fabric, colour and pattern combinations for it are limitless. The band can be made in various widths; however the most common width will be comparable to ti-;at of a common watchband. Our product slides down the bottle neck to the poin-. where friction from the elastic holds it securely in place.
Individuals can readily identify their beverage from another's same or sin ilar beverage by noticing this personalized device attached to the bottle and signifying e~;s owner.
This product is originally personalized by having a logo or name screen p winted or embroidered directly on it, or on a narrower accompanying elasticized ba~xd to be permanently attached to the original band. It will further be personalized by colour, and/or by the addition of any sponsor logo that may be printed on it, or by any other markings having to do with the personal interests of the owner.
Market Acceptance The market for this product seems very strong especially when considering that Canadian Brewers Association reports that beer sales account for two-thirds of Can°~~.da's total beverage market. Gross Domestic Product contributions from the bevera~Y,e industry in Canada are reported as follows:
Soft drinks 20%
Breweries 63%
