Abstract

An illuminated cigar label. The label includes an label element, for example in the form of a block with a concave inner surface or a band. A light source, such as a light-emitting diode, and an energy source, such as a battery or solar cell array, are attached to the label element. Various forms of the battery are described. Other alternatives include light sources of a type including a self-contained energy source, examples of which include bioluminescent and chemically-luminescent materials.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An illuminated cigar label, comprising:
 a label element;   a light source attached to the label element; and   an energy source coupled to the light source.   
     
     
         2 . The cigar label of  claim 1 , wherein the label element comprises:
 a block having a concave inner surface.   
     
     
         3 . The cigar label of  claim 2 , wherein the energy source comprises a disk battery attached to the block. 
     
     
         4 . The cigar label of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the disk battery and the light source is integrated into the block. 
     
     
         5 . The cigar label of  claim 3 , wherein the light source comprises a light-emitting diode. 
     
     
         6 . The cigar label of  claim 1 , wherein the label element comprises a cigar band. 
     
     
         7 . The cigar label of  claim 6 , wherein the energy source comprises a can battery attached to the cigar band. 
     
     
         8 . The cigar label of  claim 7 , wherein the light source comprises a light-emitting diode. 
     
     
         9 . The cigar label of  claim 7 , wherein the energy source comprises a flexible ultra-thin battery. 
     
     
         10 . The cigar label of  claim 9 , wherein the light source comprises a light-emitting diode having a pair of leads that are in electrical contact with opposing sides of the flexible battery. 
     
     
         11 . The cigar label of  claim 1 , wherein the energy source comprises a solar cell array attached to the label element. 
     
     
         12 . An illuminated cigar label, comprising:
 a label element;   a light source, attached to the label element, the light source of a type including a self-contained energy source   
     
     
         13 . The cigar label of  claim 12 , wherein the light source is comprised of bioluminescent material. 
     
     
         14 . The cigar label of  claim 12 , wherein the light source is comprised of a chemically luminescent material.
