Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vessel set, such as glass whole-washable in water, in which the light emission of the clear vessel, such as glass, is constituted by using electric power accumulated via the medium of a noncontact charging unit. <P>SOLUTION: A cord 2 connected with a power supply, such as a receptacle of commercial alternating current, is connected to a bottom plate. The primary side transformer for generating electric power by electromagnetic induction by receiving electric power via the same cord, is embedded inside the bottom plate. A vessel, such as glass, is provided with a waterproof closed chamber which incorporates the secondary side transformer for receiving electric power from the primary side transformer and supplying charged electric power, the secondary battery receiving and accumulating electric power from the secondary side transformer, accumulation parts such as capacitors, emitters such as light- emitting diodes for receiving electric power from the accumulation part and emitting light, the switching circuit for switching off the emitter, when the vessel such as a glass is put on the bottom plate and switching on the emitter, when the vessel is not placed on the bottom plate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cup, a bowl for noodles, and the like, using electric power stored via a non-contact charging device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container set such as a cup that can be washed with water and emits light from a container such as a transparent dish. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a cup or the like in which a switch is turned on when a drink cup is lifted and a light emitting diode attached to the cup emits light by a battery built in the bottom of the cup. However, these types of cups and the like have a fatal problem that they cannot be washed with water, because the switches, which are electrical components, are exposed outside. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a novel type of container set, such as a glass and a glass bowl, which solves the above-mentioned problems. [0004] In order to achieve the above object, a container set such as a cup, a glass bowl and the like according to the present invention comprises:
Regarding a set such as a cup and a cup to be placed on the bed, the cord 2 for connecting to a power source such as a commercial AC outlet is connected to the bed, and the same code is provided inside the bed. The primary side transformer which generates power by electromagnetic induction by receiving power through
Further, a watertight closed chamber is provided for a container such as a cup, and a secondary transformer which receives charging from the primary transformer and supplies charging power in the sealed chamber and a secondary battery which receives power from the secondary transformer and stores power. A light-emitting diode, a miniature light bulb such as a miniature light bulb, which receives and emits light from the power storage unit such as a capacitor, and a light-emitting body such as a miniature light bulb. A switching circuit for turning on the light when it is not turned on is built in. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, a bed 1 having a hollow flat disk shape to be described in detail below and a glass tumbler 2 placed on the bed are provided as one set. [0006] The bed 1 is connected to a cord 3 connected to a commercial AC outlet, and internally has a primary-side transformer (transmission transformer) 4 that generates power by electromagnetic induction by receiving power through the cord. Built-in. This bed 1 is in a form that can be used as a coaster. The tumbler 2 is provided with a concave portion 5 having an open bottom surface on the lower surface of the bottom wall, in which a substrate 6 is fixed with a bottomed cylindrical bottom lid 7 and an adhesive waterproofing agent 8, thereby providing a waterproof sealed chamber. 9, a secondary transformer (power generation transformer) 10 for receiving charging from the primary transformer 4 and supplying charging power to the substrate 6 in the closed chamber 9 and the secondary transformer 1
A secondary battery 11 that receives power from 0 and stores electricity, a light emitting diode (LED) 12 that receives power from the secondary battery and emits light,
A vibration sensor 12 for intermittently switching a switching circuit (not shown) in which the light emitting diode 12 receives power from the secondary battery 11 is incorporated. That is, when the tumbler 2 is placed on the spreader 1, the light emitting diode (LED) 12 is turned off, and the tumbler 2 is not placed. It is configured to light up when it is placed on a table, counter, or the like. The light emitting body such as the light emitting diode (LED) 12 may illuminate the inside of a container such as a glass or the outside. A primary transformer (transmitting transformer) 4 built in the bed 1 charges the tumbler 2 placed on it in a non-contact manner by electromagnetic induction. Is what it is. According to the present invention, instead of the vibration sensor,
A magnet / reed switch can be used as a set, a photoelectric switch, a proximity switch, and other sensors can be used, and a power cord can be used by connecting to a power source for a cigarette lighter of a car. As described above, the container set such as a cup according to the present invention emits light by using the electric power stored via the non-contact charging device, thereby realizing a waterproof structure. It has a remarkable effect that completely achieves the intended purpose of resolving the above-mentioned problems, and charging can be automatically performed simply by placing a tumbler or other cup-like object on the bed. There is good usability that can be done. According to the present invention, when this is used for a transparent container such as a tumbler or somen bowl, the whole contents and the like look beautiful and gorgeous by light emission, which is preferable. Such tableware products other than the transparent container can be diverted, and the present invention extends to these tableware products.
