Abstract
A pitcher has a container for containing liquid and a mixing device disposed at least in part within the container. The mixing device has a shaft adapted for translation relative to the container. An agitating member is connected to the shaft for conjoint translation therewith relative to the container to agitate the liquid in the container. A stop is disposed on the shaft to limit translational movement of the shaft and the agitating member.
Claims25
A pitcher for mixing a liquid solution, said pitcher comprising a container for containing liquid, a lid releasably securable on the container, and a mixing device disposed at least in part within the container, the mixing device comprising a shaft adapted for translation and rotation relative to the container, an agitating member connected to the shaft for conjoint translation and rotation therewith relative to the container to agitate the liquid in the container, and a stop disposed on the shaft to limit translational movement of the shaft and the agitating member, the stop being spaced from the agitating member and the lid and selectively movable along the shaft.
A pitcher for mixing a liquid solution, said pitcher comprising:
- a container for containing liquid;
- a mixing device disposed at least in part within the container, the mixing device comprising a shaft adapted for translation relative to the container, and an agitating member connected to the shaft for conjoint translation therewith relative to the container to agitate the liquid in the container, the agitating member being further adapted for rotation within the container in response to translating movement of the shaft, the shaft having at least one fin that spirals helically around the shaft;
- a lid having a recess, an opening in the recess, and at least one key slot extending radially outward from the opening, the shaft being received through the opening such that the at least one fin of the shaft is received in the at least one key slot, and
- a grip operatively attached to the shaft, the grip being selectively moveable between an operative position and a stowed position wherein at least a portion of the grip is received within the recess in the lid, the grip engaging the lid in the stowed position.
A pitcher for mixing a liquid solution, said pitcher comprising a container for containing liquid, a lid releasably securable on the container, and a mixing device disposed at least in part within the container, the mixing device comprising a shaft adapted for translation relative to the container, an agitating member connected to the shaft for conjoint translation therewith relative to the container to agitate the liquid in the container, the agitating member including a plurality of spaced apart blades with each of said blades being curved and angled with respect to the shaft, each of said blades having a length and being twisted along the length, and a stop disposed on the shaft, the stop being selectively movable along the shaft between the lid and the agitating member.
