Abstract
Improvements in an agitator is disclosed. The agitator has a central body with sides that have blades that flex or bend inward upon insertion and then expand once the pass through the neck of the bottle. The side are elongated and allows the mixer to have an orientation within the bottle. The orientation allows for a buoyancy of the mixer to break-up powder or fruit that typically floats on the surface of the liquid. The side elements can cut into fruit and pulverize power to blend the ingredient(s). A carrier or case for the mixer provides a container for the mixer to dry and further collects and water from the mixer. A removal hook allows a user to snag one of the ends or a side element. The side flexing elements of the mixer will bend inward to pass the mixer out the neck of the bottle.
Claims20
A mixer and bottle comprising:
- an elongated body;
- said elongated body being formed from two essentially identical body halves wherein a first of said two essentially identical body halves is rotated for securing said first of said two essentially identical body haves to a second of said two essentially identical body halves;
- each of said two essentially identical body halves has a plurality of blades;
- each of said two essentially identical body halves has a hole at a first end and a tab at a second end whereby each tab is configured to engage in each hole in each respective end of each two essentially identical body halves;
- a bottle having a narrow neck;
- said plurality of blades having a first diameter and are configured to flex inward whereby reducing said first diameter to a second diameter that is smaller than said narrow neck whereby enabling said plurality of blades to flex inward as said elongated body passes through said narrow neck of said bottle and said plurality of blades expand within said bottle;
- said first diameter is less than an inside diameter of said bottle, and
- said elongated body is configured to freely rotate within said bottle when rotational motion is imparted on fluids within said bottle.
