Abstract
A child-friendly mixing apparatus for mixing various food substances is disclosed. The mixing apparatus includes a container with an opening, a lid that fits into the opening, and a mixing assembly. The lid includes a centrally located hole that has shaped sides, and a conductive ring. The mixing assembly includes a housing, a motor within the housing, a mixing attachment that is rotated by the motor, and two electrical connector pins. The mixing attachment fits through the lid hole and the lower end of the mixing assembly rests against the shaped sides of the lid hole. The electrical connector pins are connected electrically by the conductive ring when the mixing assembly is placed in the lid in an operational position, thus engaging the motor.
Claims18
A mixing assembly comprising:
- a housing configured to interface with a hole in a lid of a container;
- a motor disposed within the housing;
- a power source configured to provide power to the motor;
- a mixing element directly or indirectly attached to the motor, wherein the mixing element is sized to fit through the hole in the lid;
- and
- at least one electrical connector pin electrically coupled to the motor;
- at least one electrical connector pin electrically coupled to the power source;
- wherein the electrical connector pins are configured so that a conductive element outside the housing can complete a circuit between the motor and the power source by electrically connecting the electrical pins to each other.
