Collectibles With Content Sensors And Content Indicators
Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to the bundling of objects for organization, portability, and ease of access and use. More specifically, the present disclosure describes collectibles with bundling strips that may allow for collectibles to bundle to each other. Further, the present disclosure relates to mechanisms that may allow for bundling and unbundling of an array of collectible items to one or more each other or collectors, including, for example, magnetism, temporary adhesion, or hook and eye loops. In some aspects, collectibles may comprise a range of functionality in conjunction with the bundling, including, for example, coupling devices that help a user identify, track, and measure orientation, statistics, and other needs as programmed or set by a user.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A collectible with bundling strip comprising:
a collectible body; a content sensor configured to detect a relative level of product remaining in the collectible; and a content indicator configured to provide a visual indication of the relative level of product remaining in the collectible.
2 . The collectible of claim 1 , further comprising a bundling strip located on or within the collectible body, wherein the bundling strip comprises a collecting mechanism that is configured to aggregate a plurality of collectibles with bundling strips.
3 . The collectible of claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the bundling strip comprises a magnetic material.
4 . The collectible of claim 1 , wherein the collectible comprises a cosmetic.
5 . The collectible of claim 4 , wherein the content sensor comprises a pressure sensor located at a base of the collectible.
6 . The collectible of claim 4 , wherein the cosmetic comprises a lipstick.
7 . The collectible of claim 6 , wherein the content sensor comprises an accelerometer configured to measure rotations of the lipstick, and wherein rotations indicate a relative level of product remaining in the collectible.
8 . An adapter bundling strip with content indicator, the adapter bundling strip comprising:
an adapter body configured to secure the adapter bundling strip to a collectible with product; a content sensor, wherein when the adapter bundling strip attaches to the collectible, the content sensor detects a relative level of product remaining in the collectible; and a content indicator, wherein when the adapter bundling strip attaches to the collectible, the content indicator provides a visual indication of the relative level of product remaining in the collectible.
9 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 8 , wherein the adapter body comprises an adhesive backing configured to adhere to the collectible.
10 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 8 , wherein the adapter body comprises a sleeve configured to fit over the collectible.
11 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 8 , wherein the adapter body comprises a wrap configured to wrap around the collectible, and wherein the wrap comprises:
a first connector mechanism located on an edge of the wrap; and a second connector mechanism located on a distal edge to the first connector mechanism, wherein connecting the first connector mechanism to the second connector mechanism secures a position of the wrap around the collectible.
12 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 8 , wherein the collectible comprises a cosmetic.
13 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 8 , wherein the adapter body comprises silicone.
14 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 8 , further comprising a bundling strip located on the adapter body, wherein the bundling strip comprises a collecting mechanism that is configured to aggregate a plurality of collectibles with bundling strips.
15 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 14 , wherein at least a portion of the bundling strip comprises a magnetic material.
16 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 8 , wherein the content sensor comprises a pressure sensor.
17 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 16 , wherein when the adapter bundling strip connects to a collectible, the pressure sensor is may located in a position that measures a relative pressure from a weight of the collectible.
18 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 17 , wherein the content sensor comprises a lipstick.
19 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 18 , wherein the content sensor comprises an accelerometer.
20 . The adapter bundling strip of claim 19 , wherein when the adapter bundling strip connects to a collectible, the accelerometer measures rotations of the lipstick, and wherein rotations indicate a relative level of product remaining in the collectible.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
