  • Figure 1 shows a bottle top light accessory 1 which is mounted on the top of a bottle 2, only part of which is schematically indicated (by dotted lines) in Figure 1.
  • the bottle light accessory 1 can be used as a promotional light accessory in the sense that it can serve to draw attention to a product on which it is mounted.
  • the product is a bottle 2 containing a spirit such as vodka. Attention is drawn to the product by virtue of the light accessory emitting light as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the bottle top light accessory 1 is mounted on the bottle 2 by virtue of sitting relatively loosely on the cap of the bottle 2.
  • the bottle top light accessory 1 comprises a main body 3 moulded in one piece from plastics material. This main body 3 can be seen with the other components of the device 1 in Figures 1 to 3 and is shown alone in more detail in Figures 4A to 4G.
  • the light accessory 1 comprises a PCB (printed circuit board) module 4 and a closure plate 5.
  • the device can be seen in its assembled state, where the PCB module 4 is disposed within a housing portion 31 of the main body 3.
  • the closure plate 5 is also disposed in the main body 3 and with its peripheral edge resting on a circumferential rebate 32.
  • the light accessory 1 is assembled as shown in Figure 1 with the closure plate 5 sitting on the rebate 32, the light accessory 1 as a whole is a sealed unit with the PCB module 4 encapsulated in the housing portion 31.
  • the PCB module 4 comprises an LED 41 which acts as a light source, a pair of batteries 42 of the same general type that are used in electronic watches, a microprocessor (not shown) arranged to act as a control unit, and a light sensor 43 for sensing the ambient light in which the light accessory 1 is disposed.
  • the microprocessor (not shown) controls the illumination provided by the LED 41 so that the light accessory 1 gives out light in the desired way.
  • the microprocessor is used to cause the LED 41 to flash on and off with a desired frequency.
  • the output from the light sensor 43 is also fed to the microprocessor and the accessory 1 is arranged so that the LED 41 will only be caused to emit light when the light sensed by the light sensor 43 is above a predetermined level.
  • This feature is useful since it means that the LED 41 should not emit light when the light accessory 1 is in darkness, for example because it is packed in a storage box or is in a shop at night time where no external light is present. Of course, this can conserve battery energy so that the device continues to function for as long as is possible when the appropriate ambient light conditions are present.
  • the main body 3 of the bottle top light accessory will now be described in more detail with particular reference to Figures 4A to 4F.
  • the main body 3 is generally cylindrical and has a domed upper portion 33 which acts as a display portion, in that light from the LED 41 issues from this portion of the main body 3.
  • the main body 3 is moulded in a single piece from plastics material which has the necessary characteristics to allow light from the LED 41 to escape to the surroundings.
  • the plastics material might be described as translucent.
  • the main body 3 is arranged to distribute light from the LED 41 in order to control the pattern in which light escapes.
  • four light channels 34 are provided and these project radially outwards from a hub portion 35.
  • the hub portion 35 has a recess 36 that accommodates the LED 41 in the assembled device.
  • the light channels 34 are provided in the domed portion 33 of the main body 3.
  • the domed portion 33 of the main body 3 can be considered to have two main parts. The first is an upper solid part 33a where there is plastics material from the LED receiving recess 36 all the way to the exterior of the domed portion 33 in all directions.
  • the second is a lower part 33b where there is no plastics material between the hub portion 35 and the exterior wall of the dome 37, except for the four light channels 34.
  • the LED 41 is chosen so that light emits from it most strongly from what might be described as its lower region, i.e. that part which is at the level of the light channels 34. In this way significant light from the LED 41 travels outwards along the light channels 34 to the exterior of the dome portion 33 but far less light leaves the dome surface at any other positions. Thus, when the light is on or flashing, four relatively strong areas of light are seen on the dome portion 33, one in the region of each of the light channels 34.
  • each of the light channels 34 may be chosen to give the desired light output. In the present embodiment it has been found that a thickness of 2 mm gives satisfactory results.
  • the main body 3 also comprises a generally cylindrical recess 38 which acts as a receiving portion for the cap of the bottle 2 on which the bottle top light accessory is mounted.
  • This receiving portion 38 is defined by the outer surface of the closure plate 5 and the curved side walls 39 of the main body 3 from the rebate 32 outwards.
  • the depth D of the receiving portion is chosen to give a stable fit on the top of the bottle 2.
  • a depth D of 9 mm has been found suitable.
  • the present embodiment is arranged for mounting on a
  • the size of the receiving portion 38 is chosen to give a reasonably secure fit
  • an alternative bottle top light accessory (not shown)
  • the alternative accessory preferably has all those components described above that go to make up the already-described accessory 1, but differs in having reflective means in the form of a reflective coating on the surface of the module 4 that faces towards the LED 41. It is envisaged that this coating be a silver coating. Such a coating would reflect light that would otherwise be absorbed by or pass through the module 4 back in the direction of the light channels 34 and the rest of the domed portion 33.
