ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a stirrer, and more particularly to a stirrer for stirring the drink, such as the coffee, the cocktail, etc.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical stirrers comprise a rod body for engaging into the drink, such as the coffee, the cocktail, etc., and for stirring the drink. The stirrers are normally made of plastic materials by molding process. The typical stirrers may not attract peoples' attention.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional stirrers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a stirrer including a light device for lighting purposes and for generating attracting light to attract peoples' attention.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a stirrer comprising a rod for engaging with and for stirring a drink, the rod including a first end, a head secured onto the first end of the rod, at least one battery received in the head and including a first electrode and a second electrode, and a light device including a first prong coupled to the first electrode of the battery, and including a second prong selectively coupled to the second electrode of the battery and for selectively energizing the light device to emit the light through the head or the rod when the second prong is coupled to the second electrode of the battery.
The first end of the rod includes a cavity formed therein for receiving the light device. The first end of the rod includes an outer thread formed thereon, the head includes an inner thread formed therein and threaded with the outer thread of the rod for securing the head to the rod.
The head includes a first casing and a second casing secured together, the head includes a chamber formed therein for receiving the battery. The second casing includes at least one bulge extended inward of the chamber of the head, the stirrer further includes a switch slidably received in the chamber of the head and disposed between the second prong of the light device and the bulge, the switch is moved and forced to actuate the second prong to engage with the battery when the switch is moved over the bulge.
The second casing includes a channel formed therein, the switch includes a knob extended therefrom and slidably received in the channel of the second casing for moving the switch over the bulge. The second casing includes a peripheral shoulder and/or at least one orifice formed therein, the first casing includes a peripheral flange and/or at least one pin extended therefrom and engaged in the peripheral shoulder and/or the orifice of the second casing for securing the first casing and the second casing together.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
