Abstract
A new mixing device for mixing solids and medium to highly viscous food ingredients with liquid in a shaker bottle. The mixing device has an agitator with a center portion and distal portions of larger diameter than the center portion. The agitator is insertable within a hand-held, shakeable container. The agitator is composed of a framework arranged to provide voids to allow for flow of liquids, powders, and other materials into and out of portions of the agitator. The mixing device also has a weighted member attached adjacent to or within the center of the agitator that increases the momentum of the mixing device when in operation. The weighted member may have a metal core and polymer exterior.
Claims14
A mixing device comprising:
- an agitator insertable within a hand-held, shakeable container and composed of a framework comprising a single compression spring arranged to provide voids between coils thereof to allow for flow of one or more of liquids, powders, and other materials into and out of portions of the agitator, the agitator having a center portion, a first distal portion, and a second distal portion, the first and second distal portions having diameters generally larger than a diameter of the center portion;
- and
- an elongated weighted member removably and threadedly affixed to the center portion of the compression spring of the framework and having one or more retention members configured to thread to and retain the weighted member within the agitator.
A mixing device comprising:
- a container for holding liquids, the container configured to be hand-held and shakeable;
- an agitator insertable within the container and composed of a framework arranged to provide voids to allow for flow of one or more of liquids, powders, and other materials into and out of portions of the agitator, the agitator having a center portion, a first distal portion, and a second distal portion, the first and second distal portions having diameters generally larger than a diameter of the center portion;
- and
- an elongated weighted member removably and threadedly affixed to the center portion of the agitator, the weighted member comprising only a single piece without external voids and having one or more retention members oriented generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the weighted member and configured to thread to and retain the weighted member within the agitator;
- the framework further comprising a single compression spring with compressible spring ends that extend beyond weighted member ends, the compressible spring ends configured to generally prevent the weighted member from striking the shakeable container interior when the mixing device is in operation.
A mixing device comprising:
- an agitator insertable within a hand-held, shakeable container and composed of a framework comprising a single compression spring arranged to provide voids between coils thereof to allow for flow of one or more of liquids, powders, and other materials into and out of portions of the agitator, the agitator having a center portion, a first distal portion, and a second distal portion, the first and second distal portions having diameters generally larger than a diameter of the center portion;
- and
- an elongated weighted member removably and threadedly affixed to the center portion of the compression spring of the framework and having one or more retention members configured to thread to and retain the weighted member within the agitator,
- wherein once threaded into the single compression spring of the agitator, the weighted member is retained within thereof by the one or more retention members forming an interference fit between adjacent coils of the single compression spring.
