Abstract
A portable apparatus for mixing fluids comprising is provided, and has a housing, inlets for receiving a plurality of fluids at the housing, and a fluid mixer for receiving the fluids from the housing and mixing them. The fluid mixer outputs at least one fluid blend. A fluid blend selector then receives fluids from the inlets and at least one blend from the fluid mixer and outputs a selected fluid, where the selected fluid is one of the fluids from the inlets or one of the at least one fluid blends.
Claims14
A portable apparatus for mixing fluids comprising:
- a housing;
- a plurality of inlets for receiving a plurality of fluids at the housing;
- a fluid mixer for receiving the plurality of fluids from the inlets and outputting at least one fluid blend;
- a first fluid blend selector for receiving the plurality of fluids from the inlets and the at least one fluid blend from the fluid mixer and outputting a first selected fluid consisting of one of the plurality of fluids or the at least one fluid mixture;
- a first outlet for transmitting the first selected fluid from the housing to a beverage storage, and
- a first fluid manifold for a first of the plurality of fluids and a second fluid manifold for a second of the plurality of fluids, wherein each fluid manifold has a first conduit to the first fluid blend selector and a mixer conduit to the fluid mixer.
