Various designs of mugs of various designs equipped with a built-in mug or, for example, a recess for storing food products are known from the prior art. . However, the use of dry food additives in drinks requires mixing, for which purpose various spoon shapes are still used. They require continuous storage together with a mug, as well as a separate spoon for pouring loose ingredients into a mug (due to wetting with water). All this can be difficult during frequent trips, especially in tourism, because of the high probability of loss or, conversely, the likelihood of forgetting a spoon at home. The advantage of the proposed mug is that there is no need for additional accessories, since it is necessary to mix dry food additives (in particular sugar), poured into the prepared beverage (for example, tea), an impeller is placed in the mug, placed on the bottom from the inside of the mug body. When the outer ring, located at the bottom of the casing at the level of the inner impeller and equipped with magnets, rotates, the impeller rotates and the food additives are settled on the bottom of the mug. Thus, the possibility of mixing hot and cold drinks without the use of any additional devices (spoons) is guaranteed. The technical result achieved is to simplify the process of mixing bulk additives in a drink, including sugar, due to the built-in impeller. The solution eliminates the use of spoons, which is especially in demand in tourism.

Description

The technical field to which the utility model belongs. The utility model relates to household appliances, and is aimed at improving the usability for household needs of consumers, namely, to facilitate the preparation of liquid drinks.

The prior art. A mug with a hollow handle is already known from the prior art [RF patent for utility model No. 124544], comprising a housing with a bottom and a side wall, to which a hollow handle is attached, connected to the upper part of its internal space with the body volume. The hollow handle is connected by the lower part of its internal space to the volume of the body, and the entire mug, including the body and the hollow handle, is made of glass.

The disadvantages of this solution include the lack of the possibility of mixing food additives (sugar) using the mug itself.

Combined mug is also known [RF patent for utility model No. 171225], which is a liquid-containing container with a handle and a lower located food container, and the side conical surface of the food container on the opposite side of the handle has an opening framed by borders at the edges.

This decision is made by the main prototype, the closest in its technical essence.

The disadvantages of this solution include the lack of the possibility of stirring food additives (sugar) using the mug itself.

Disclosure of a utility model. Various designs of mugs of various designs are known from the prior art, equipped with heating integrated in the mug or, for example, a recess for storing food products. At the same time, the addition to various drinks, especially tea, of loose food additives such as sugar is extremely common. This is due to the high taste of the drinks in which sugar was added. Without a doubt, we are talking about meeting the basic needs of society, since the reception of tea and coffee with sugar is a daily and very frequent procedure. In this case, the reception of drinks poured into the mug is carried out not only at home in the kitchen, but also in a wide variety of others - for example, in the country, on a camping trip in the woods, etc.

This requires the constant use of special devices - spoons, for mixing bulk food additives (sugar), and also requires storage near the mug. In some cases - especially various kinds of trips and hiking, this is a problem, because it is accompanied by uncomfortable storage conditions and a high probability of losing a spoon for mixing.

There are various designs of mugs, known from the prior art, and solving the problem of thermal insulation from the external environment for storing heat (thermo mug); mugs with a compartment for storing products, as well as mugs with various cavities inside and shape options. However, they all do not solve the problem of facilitating the preparation of a drink, and refusing a spoon. All known options for the mug require an additional external device - a spoon, to prepare the drink.

The use of the drink requires its mixing, for which various spoon shapes are still used. Spoons require continuous storage with a mug, as well as a separate spoon for pouring bulk ingredients into a mug. All this can be difficult during frequent trips, especially in tourism due to the high probability of loss or vice versa, the probability of forgetting a spoon at home. In addition, spoons and mugs are made in different sizes, and in some cases the use of a spoon can be hindered by the high edge of the mug, or vice versa - too low the edge of the mug, and damage to the user's eyes.

In the proposed solution, the problem of mixing bulk food additives is solved by installing at the bottom of the inside of the mug of a rotating impeller, designed for mixing during rotation. The force for rotation of the impeller is transmitted from a manually rotated ring mounted outside the cup body.

The figure 1 shows the appearance of the impeller for mixing bulk food additives. Obviously, it is a symmetrical design, equipped with a number of flat blades emanating from the base outward. In the center of the impeller there is a hole for the axis of rotation, on which it is worn. The impeller is made of ferromagnetic metal, which is well attracted by the magnetic field. When turning the impeller installed at the bottom of the mug, the mixing of loose food additives poured into the mug will occur.

The figure 2 shows a horizontal section of a circle made in the middle of it. From the presented figure, it is obvious that the mug is equipped with a handle for holding it in the hand, has a cylindrical round body, and is equipped with a symmetrical impeller mounted on the axis, as well as an outer ring that rotates freely.

Mentioned outer ring is designed to rotate due to the efforts of the user of the mug, and transmits rotational force into the mug in a non-contact manner due to magnets located in the housing of the outer ring. An impeller made of a ferromagnetic material is attracted by magnets located in the outer ring, thus, the rotational force is transmitted to the inside of the cup in a non-contact manner.

The figure 3 shows a vertical section of the proposed circles. From the presented figure, the entire device of the proposed solution is clearly visible. The handle mounted on the side of the cup body provides a comfortable and safe hold in the user's hand. The outer ring rotates freely, and is driven by rotational movements of the fingers of the user, who with one hand holds the mug by the handle, with the other, rotates the outer ring. The magnets installed in the outer ring have the same angle of shift between themselves as the impeller blades inside the cup body. At the same time, they are installed with alternating polarity of their poles, that is, the south and north poles look inside the body of the circle, alternating from magnet to magnet. This provides the most efficient impeller attraction, and the transmission of the greatest force from the outer ring. Also shown is a sleeve worn on the end of the axis and designed to limit the impeller from falling out, as well as a threaded ring acting as a plug and wrapped on the thread of the housing. A threaded ring limits the vertical stroke of the outer ring and prevents it from falling out. The advantage of the proposed mug is that there is no need for additional accessories, since to stir dry food additives (in particular sugar) poured into the prepared beverage (e.g. tea), an impeller is placed in the mug, placed on the bottom from the inside of the mug body. When the outer ring, located at the bottom of the casing at the level of the inner impeller, and equipped with magnets, rotates, the impeller rotates and food additives are mixed that have settled on the bottom of the mug. Thus, it becomes possible to mix hot and cold drinks without the use of additional devices (spoons). The presented solution is simple and therefore industrially applicable, providing mixing of bulk food additives inside the mug without the use of any additional devices like a spoon. The best material for the manufacture of the body of the spoon, as well as the outer ring and cap, is food grade plastic, available in production. The material of the rotatable outer ring can also be food grade or any other plastic; cheap and affordable nickel-based alloys with a high coercive force can be used as magnets. Such magnets can be made in any shape convenient for placement inside the outer ring. In the manufacture of the inner impeller, any alloys based on iron and nickel can be used, which are cheap and have no toxic properties. The sleeve used to secure the impeller on the axis of rotation at the bottom of the cup can be made of food-grade plastic or various rubberized materials. The design described above is not only simple, but also technological - providing, for example, analysis by the user himself (for example, for cleaning the bottom) and installation of components in a simple technological assembly cycle.

The proposed solution has the following differences from the prototype:

- inside the case of the mug there is an impeller made of a ferromagnetic material (metal) and fixed on the axis;

- the protruding axis of the bottom is equipped with a fixing sleeve;

- on the outside of the cup body in its lower part there is a rotatable ring with magnets located in its body;

- the polarity of the installation of magnets alternates;

- the angle of shift of the magnets in the space on the ring is equal to the angle of shift of the impeller blades;

- on the outside of the cup body from its lower end there is a thread on which a threaded ring is screwed.

Thus, the set of essential features of the utility model is previously unknown and leads to a new technical result - the emergence of the possibility of mixing food additives.
