Definitions
- This present disclosure relates to an agitator used for the mixing of powder and liquid, or differing viscosity liquids, within a fully enclosed hand-held shake-able container.
- the present disclosure relates to an agitator used for the mixing of powder and liquid, or differing viscosity liquids, within a fully enclosed hand-held shakeable container.
- a shakeable container that includes, in some embodiments, a straw, agitator and lid.
- the ingredients requiring mixture are enclosed in the shakeable container.
- the container is shaken in an up and down manner, causing the agitator to move up and down the affixed straw, bumping off the bottom of the lid and the flange at the bottom of the straw, increasing inertia from the springing motion to more rapidly and fully mix the contents with less effort.
- the lid, container and straw are many alternative shapes and sizes of the lid, container and straw, other than those expressly disclosed herein.
- the length of the straw may vary to accommodate the size of the container it is affixed to.
- Certain embodiments may involve the mixing of the following non-limiting list: powdered drinks, electrolyte pills, energy drinks, baby formula, pancake batter, crepes, baking materials, salsa, sauces (hollandaise, gravy, etc.), oil and vinegar, salad dressings, smoothies, juices, coffee and creamer/flavorings, alcohol mixed drinks, medical-related substances (pills, laxatives, fiber drinks, etc), and non- edibles (paint, household cleaners, etc).
- Some embodiments include a system of using a straw and agitator in conjunction with each other.
- the straw is affixed to the lid of the shakeable container and has a flanged base.
- an agitator is connected to the straw. This keeps the agitator as part of a larger piece and lowers the number of independent parts.
- a common problem with a free and loose agitator is the propensity for them to fall through dishwasher trays into the cleaning mechanisms, and their propensity to be lost.
- the shape and makeup of the agitator may vary greatly (see Figure 22 for a partial display of potential agitator shapes and configurations).
- the agitator may be built of plastic, metal, or any other material.
- the design of the agitator apparatus is that of an hourglass shape, constructed of a metal wire coiled in a manner to create this shape.
- the construction of the metal coil creates several points of close contact with the straw to prevent binding, but is loose enough that it will flow freely when shaking the container to mix the contents.
- the agitator moves freely up and down the straw to aid in creating a homogeneous mixture of the contents.
- Some embodiments feature a coiled design of the agitator that creates a spring effect that magnifies the inertia caused when shaking the container and works to lessen the effort needed and lower the time required to fully mix the contents of the container.
- the straw may be constructed of any material that will keep it rigid enough to allow the free movement of the agitator along the length of the straw.
- the agitator moves along the entire length of the straw. In other embodiments, the agitator moves along less than the entire length of the straw.
- the main body of the straw is to be linear and straight. In other embodiments, the main body of the straw is not straight but allows the agitator to move along the length of the straw in response to the shaking of the container.
- the straw is affixed tightly to the container's lid creating a water/airtight seal.
- this seal can be created by a pressed fit connection.
- this seal can be created by a threaded fit connection.
- the bottom portion of the straw has a flanged end.
- the flange serves as a base for the agitator to "spring" or "bounce” off of when the bottle is shaken, and also serves to keep the agitator from falling off the straw and becoming a loose and independent piece.
- the flange touches the base of the container. In other embodiments, the flange does not touch the bottom of the container.
- the straw is made of plastic.
- the lid is constructed of a complimenting plastic material and, together, the lid and straw function to create a water and air tight seal.
- the straw and lid can be separated.
- the straw and lid form one, unitary part.
- the construction of the lid is such that is has a common flip up apparatus that serves to seal the contents within the bottle when closed, or allow access to the contents of the bottle through sucking or pouring when open.
- a common flip up apparatus that serves to seal the contents within the bottle when closed, or allow access to the contents of the bottle through sucking or pouring when open.
- the straw attachment of the lid when closed, it works as a common valve to block access to the contents of the bottle and allows agitation without spilling.
- the contents of the shakeable container can be sucked from the bottle.
- a common silicone grommet is used to create a water and airtight seal to prevent any spillage or decrease in sucking efficiency during consumption.
- Some embodiments include a second opening on the lid, In certain embodiments, this second opening is larger than the opening or hollow portion of the straw. In some embodiments, this second opening is covered or closed by a common flip up top, or chug cap, that creates a water and air tight seal when closed, but allows for a "chug" or more rapid consumption of the contents of the bottle when open.
- this second opening is covered or closed by a common flip up top, or chug cap, that creates a water and air tight seal when closed, but allows for a "chug” or more rapid consumption of the contents of the bottle when open.
- the lid/straw combination is affixed to the bottle through a compression fit or threads, and utilizes a silicone washer to create a water and airtight seal with the base of the bottle.
