An illuminating coaster assembly for removable attachment to an essentially flat bottomed, transparent beverage container to highlight a selected drink, particularly for use in a dark room or bar. The assembly comprises a generally circular housing having an opaque bottom wall, an opaque peripheral side wall, and an essentially planar, light transmitting top wall. The light transmitting top wall concentrically mounts an opaque center member spaced inwardly from the peripheral side wall, and an a...

A promotional coaster has a promotional panel releasably adhered to a coaster panel. The coaster panel has a liquid absorbing upper face and an opposite lower face, which may be provided by an overlaminate barrier layer, that is adhered to an upper face of the promotional panel. Indicia are printed on either or both panels at the interface between them. Thus, when the two panels are joined the promotional indicia is concealed to be revealed fully only after the promotional panel is separated fro...

A carrier (10) for a six pack (20) of beverage containers (14) has rings (12) interconnected by strips (16) and (18). The rings (12) fit around the beverage containers (14) in a friction fit. The strips (16, 18) are severed from adjacent rings (12) to remove one of the beverage containers (14) from the six pack (20). The ring (12) is moved so that it extends partially below bottom (24) of the container (14) so that the ring (12) will function as a coaster by supporting the container (14) above a...

An illuminating coaster includes an upper member, an intermediate member, a lower member, an illuminating assembly arranged between the upper member and the intermediate member and including a first conducting member, a second conducting member, and batteries, the first conducting member being fixedly mounted on an inner side of the upper member, the first conducting member being fixedly mounted on an inner side of the upper member, the second conducting member being provided with a light-emitti...

A coaster arrangement comprises a receptacle for housing at least the lower part of a tumbler. A support in the receptacle holds a tumbler snugly in the receptacle with the bottom of the tumbler spaced from the bottom plate of the receptacle and with the sides spaced from the cylinder of the receptacle. The support directs moisture forming on the tumbler into a basin formed in the plate and prevents such moisture from wetting a surface supporting the tumbler or receptacle.

The invention herein disclosed relates to a coaster vehicle comprising a body having a rider compartment with handrails running along the top lateral edges of said compartment. The body of the vehicle is continuously curved upwardly and outwardly in transverse cross-section and decreases in width from the rear to the front. Mounted on transverse axes adjacent to the front and rear end of the body and projecting outwardly through openings in the bottom thereof are spherical rollers, the centers o...

A snow coaster body for supporting one or more riders thereon and including a horizontally centrally disposed annular under portion defining a generally circular lower horizontal surface bound by an outer peripheral downwardly opening channel generally semicircular in cross section. The inner and outer peripheral extremities of the channel include generally horizontal inwardly projecting inner and outer flange portions and the lower horizontal surface is disposed at an elevation slightly below a...

A drive for a wheeled vehicle including a hub adapted to receive the driving wheel of such vehicle. The hub receives and rotatably supports an axle having a worm screw thereon and positioned within such hub. The worm in turn supports an eccentrically weighted driver of drum-like configuration so that rotational force transmitted to the axle in either direction traverses the weighted driver back and forth within the hub in a generally upright position. The driver resists rotation with the axle by...

A coaster with the attributes of a wipe wherein two layers of absorbent material such as paper are separated by spacers. As the condensation collects on the upper absorbent layer, it sags and creates air pockets preventing the wet glass from sticking to the coaster. Through judicious choices in the spacers, the resulting coaster can be as flexible as a paper napkin or can be used for entertainment.

A coaster for use with a container such as drinking glass comprising a substantially annular base having a stepped shelf formed therein to receive a removable insert. A plurality of retaining nubs are formed on the stepped shelf to detachably secure the insert to the base. In addition, a plurality of apertures are formed on the insert to facilitate separation of the insert and base.
