Abstract
Method and apparatus to agitate a liquid are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall substantially parallel to the first sidewall. The example apparatus also includes a top wall coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The example apparatus further includes a bottom wall opposite the top wall and coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The bottom wall has a first side to define a cavity to hold a liquid. The example apparatus also includes a protrusion extending from the first side of the bottom wall toward the top wall.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a first container;
- a second container, the second container movable between a locked position in which the second container is non-rotatable coupled to the base and an unlocked position in which the second container is rotatable relative to the base;
- a first container support to retain the first container, the first container support comprising first posts to engage a first rim of the first container to non-rotatably couple the first container to the base;
- and
- a second container support to retain the second container, the second container support comprising:
- a collar to engage a groove of the second container;
- and
- a ridge to engage a second rim of the second container when the second container is in the locked position to non-rotatably couple the second container to the base.
An apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a first end wall;
- a second end wall;
- a first container;
- a second container having a rounded rectangular shape, the second container including:
- a first sidewall;
- a second sidewall substantially parallel to the first sidewall;
- a top wall coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
- a bottom wall opposite the top wall and coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the bottom wall having a first side to define a cavity to hold a liquid;
- and
- a protrusion extending from the first side of the bottom wall toward the top wall;
- a first container support to retain the first container, the first container support including first posts to engage a first rim of the first container to non-rotatably couple the first container to the base;
- and
- a second container support to retain the second container, the second container support including a collar to engage a groove of the second container and a ridge to engage a second rim of the second container, the second container selectively rotatable relative to the base.
