Abstract
An apparatus is provided that is configured for attachment to an aerosol can to permit mixing of contents therein. The apparatus includes a generally flat base portion coupled to a drive shaft orthogonally oriented relative to the base portion, and a securing strap attached to the base portion. The securing strap is configured to engage or grip a cylindrical end portion of an aerosol can to secure the aerosol can to the apparatus, whereby the drive shaft is configured to be mounted within a drill chuck to permit the mixing apparatus to rotate an aerosol can attached thereto for mixing contents within the aerosol can.

An apparatus configured for attachment to an aerosol can to permit mixing of contents therein, the apparatus comprising:
- a generally flat base portion coupled to a drive shaft orthogonally oriented relative to the base portion,
- a generally cylindrical sidewall orthogonal to the base portion that defines an opening therein for receiving the cylindrical end portion of an aerosol can, the cylindrical sidewall and base portion being integrally formed;
- a clamp component comprising a washer and a nut threadably secured to threads on the drive shaft to secure the drive shaft and clamp component around the base portion;
- and
- a securing strap attached around the outside of the cylindrical sidewall to compress the cylindrical sidewall grip a cylindrical end portion of an aerosol can to secure the aerosol can to the apparatus, whereby the drive shaft is configured to be mounted within a drill chuck to permit the mixing apparatus to rotate an aerosol can attached thereto for mixing contents within the aerosol can.
