Abstract
The present invention relates to drink-stirring device for stirring or mixing liquid and/or powdered ingredients with liquid in a drinking vessel (4), the liquid being supplied from above through the stirring device to an outlet tube which conducts at least one liquid jet towards the interior of the drinking vessel. The liquid is supplied through an outlet tube (64) which is rotatably attached to the device and is associated to an external, magnetic member (82). The electromagnet arrangement is arranged outside or at distance of the magnetic member for creating a variable magnetic field configured to move the tube (64) in rotation, so that the emerging liquid jet can be given a corresponding centrifugal effect.
Claims14
Drink-stirring device comprising an outlet tube which conducts at least one liquid jet towards an interior of drinking vessel, the liquid is supplied through the outlet tube which is rotatably attached to the device and is associated to an external, magnetic member, and an electromagnet arrangement is positioned outside the magnetic member for creating a variable magnetic field configured to rotate the outlet tube.
Method for stirring and eventually foaming a liquid in a vessel, comprising passing the liquid through a liquid delivery outlet tube which is rotatable at a determined speed so that an emerging liquid jet is provided with a corresponding centrifugal effect.
A device comprising an outlet tube for passing at least one liquid jet towards the interior of a vessel, the outlet tube is rotatably attached to the device and is associated with an external, magnetic member, and an electromagnet arrangement is located outside the magnetic member for creating a variable magnetic field causing the tube to rotate.
