Claims18
An assembly, comprising:
- a powder assembly, having a body containing a quantity of powder and a doser, the doser allowing a selected amount of powder to drop into a mixing bowl when the doser is activated;
- and
- a liquid assembly, having a vessel containing a volume of a liquid and a pump assembly for pumping a selected quantity of the liquid into the mixing bowl when the pump assembly is activated;
- wherein the mixing bowl is formed in a top portion of the liquid assembly, the mixing bowl having a central through hole connected to the pump assembly, the assembly further comprising a seal, the seal allowing the selected quantity of the liquid into the mixing bowl when the pump assembly is activated and preventing the liquid from draining from the mixing bowl when the pump assembly is not activated.
An assembly, comprising:
- a powder assembly, having a body containing a quantity of powder and a doser, the doser allowing a selected amount of powder to drop into a mixing bowl when the doser is activated;
- and
- a liquid assembly, having a vessel containing a volume of a liquid and a pump assembly for pumping a selected quantity of the liquid into the mixing bowl when the pump assembly is activated;
- wherein the powder assembly has a steel ring positioned near a base of the powder assembly and the liquid assembly has at least a first magnet positioned near a top of the liquid assembly, the steel ring and the at least first magnet holding the powder assembly and the liquid assembly proximate each other.
A mixing device, comprising:
- a powder assembly holding a first container containing a powder, the powder assembly having a powder dispensing means for dispensing a predetermined quantity of the powder;
- a liquid assembly holding a second container containing a liquid, the liquid assembly having a liquid dispensing means for dispensing a predetermined amount of the liquid;
