Abstract
A beverage container comprises a label. The label includes sections that are designed to be selectively removed. A plurality of indicia associated with the sections identify the removed sections.
Description
- Water bottles and other beverage containers are often freely distributed during gatherings of people. When many beverage containers are set down in a gathering of people, it is sometimes difficult to remember or identify which beverage container belongs to whom. When there are marking pens available, individual beverage containers can be marked to identify to whom the beverage belongs. However, marking pens are not always available
-
FIG. 1 shows a beverage container with a label that contains perforated sections that can be easily removed to produce identifying indicia in accordance with an implementation. -
FIG. 2 shows a beverage container with a label that contains scratch off sections that can be scratched off to produce identifying indicia in accordance with an implementation. -
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 show a beverage container with a label that contains peel off stickers that peeled off and stuck on the beverage container to produce identifying indicia in accordance with an implementation. -
FIG. 5 shows a beverage container with a label that contains peel off stickers that peeled off and stuck on the beverage container to produce identifying indicia in accordance with another implementation. -
FIG. 1 shows abeverage container 11 with alabel 12 that containsperforated sections 13. For example,beverage container 11 is a water bottle or other bottle container made of plastic or glass. Alternatively,beverage container 11 is a can or other type of liquid container. For example,label 12 is composed of paper and perforatedsections 13 are perforated sufficiently to allow easy intentional removal, while not perforated so much that sections will fall off unintentionally. - A row of
indicia 14 is placed in close proximity to perforatedsections 13, so that each perforated section is adjacent to a character or some other identifying indicium so that when a perforated section is removed the identifying indicium adjacent to the perforated section identifies the removed section. For example, the indicia is composed of characters (such as letters or numbers) or other types of indicia such as shapes and/or colors. - For example, a combination of perforated sections can be removed to provide a unique identification. For example, an owner of
beverage container 11 can intentionally remove perforated sections so that he will recognizebeverage container 11 either by the perforated sections that have been removed or by the perforated sections that remain. -
FIG. 2 shows abeverage container 21 with alabel 22 that contains scratch-offsections 23 that can be scratched off to personalizebeverage container 21. For example,beverage container 21 is a water bottle or other bottle container made of plastic or glass. Alternatively,beverage container 21 is a can or other type of liquid container. For example,label 22 is composed of paper and scratch-offsections 23 contain identifying indicia that can be scratched off. For example, the identifying indicia is composed of characters (such as letters or numbers) or other types of indicia such as shapes and/or colors. - For example, a combination of scratch-off sections can be scratched off to provide a unique identification for
beverage container 21. For example, an owner ofbeverage container 21 can intentionally remove scratch-off sections so that he will recognizebeverage container 21 either by the scratch-off sections that have been removed or by the scratch-off sections that remain. - Alternative to using scratch-off sections, scratchable sections can be used. For example, each scratchable section has an opaque covering. Each opaque covering can be scratched off to reveal an underlying indicium. An owner of
beverage container 21 can remove the opaque coverings on a combination of scratchable sections to uniquely identifybeverage container 21. -
FIG. 3 shows abeverage container 31 with alabel 32 that contains peel-offsections 33 that can be peeled off and reattached tobeverage container 31 to personalizebeverage container 31. For example,beverage container 31 is a water bottle or other bottle container made of plastic or glass. Alternatively,beverage container 31 is a can or other type of liquid container. For example,label 32 is composed of paper and peel-offsections 33 contain identifying indicia that can be peeled off. For example, the identifying indicia are composed of characters (such as letters or numbers) or other types of indicia such as shapes and/or colors. -
FIG. 4 , for example, shows a combination of peel-off sections that have been peeled off and placed near a top ofbeverage container 31 to uniquely identifybeverage container 31. For example, an owner ofbeverage container 31 can intentionally remove peel-off sections locate the peel-off sections at a location that will uniquely identifybeverage container 31 to the owner ofbeverage container 31 and to others. -
FIG. 5 shows abeverage container 51 with alabel 52 that contains peel-offsections 53 that can be peeled off and reattached tobeverage container 51 to personalizebeverage container 51. While inFIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , each of the peel offsections 33 contains an indicium composed of a letter of the alphabet or a number, inFIG. 5 , each of the peel offsections 53 contains an indicium composed of a color section having a different color than the other peel off sections. The peel off stickers can be peeled off and stuck on beverage container 41 to produce identifying indicia composed of a combination of colors. The foregoing discussion discloses and describes merely exemplary methods and embodiments. As will be understood by those familiar with the art, the disclosed subject matter may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or characteristics thereof. Accordingly, the present disclosure is intended to be illustrative, but not limiting, of the scope of the invention, which is set forth in the following claims.
