Definitions
- the present disclosure pertains to portable vessels for mixing and dispensing a flowable substance and, more particularly, to a hand-holdable device for storing, mixing, and dispensing a liquid material, preferably for human consumption.
- a mixing structure such as a wire ball, basket, or conical object with through-holes is placed inside a bottle that is manually shaken to mix a powder with a liquid, such as infant formula with water.
- Drawbacks of this design include inadequate mixing because the mixing structure moves with the liquid, repeated impact of the mixing structure with the container walls, scratching and otherwise damaging the container and possibly causing material to break off the mixing structure or the container or both, as well as the noise generated by the contact.
- a container that is designed to be shaken manually to cause mixing of elements within the container.
- the container is a hand-held device for mixing that includes a housing having an interior defined by at least one wall and a closed bottom, a lid structured to be removably attached to the housing, the lid having a sealable spout, and a storage compartment structured to be removably attached to the closed bottom of the housing.
- a device for mixing in an alternative embodiment, includes a housing having an open end, a closed end, and an interior defined by at least one wall that separates the open end and the closed bottom, the housing also including a ledge positioned on a first interior surface of the wall adjacent to the open end, a lid structured to be removably attached to the housing, the lid having a sealable spout, a storage compartment structured to be removably attached to the closed bottom of the housing, and a mixing element having a first end and a second end that is narrower than the first end, the first end configured to be received in the interior of the housing and supported on the housing by the ledge.
- a device for mixing including a housing having at least one wall and a closed bottom; a top structured to be removably attached to the housing; and a mixing element mounted on one of the housing and the top, the mixing element having a first end mounted on at least one of the housing and the top and a second end that is coupled to the first end via a compliant portion structured to move along a longitudinal axis of the mixing element, such as when subjected to a force along the longitudinal axis.
- the mixing element is formed of a length of filament that is coiled to form a spring having a plurality of contiguous ringlets concentric to the longitudinal axis, the spring structured to collapse from an original shape along the longitudinal axis of the spring in a first direction when subjected to a force in the first direction along the longitudinal axis of the spring and return to the original shape when not subjected to the force in the first direction, the spring further structured to expand from the original shape along the longitudinal axis of the spring in a second direction when subjected to a force in the second direction along the longitudinal axis and return to the original shape when not subjected to the force in the second direction.
- the compliant portion of the spring has a longitudinal space between each ringlet when the spring is in the original shape to allow the spring to collapse and extend.
- the ringlets in the compliant portion of the spring are ideally formed to have a progressively reducing diameter from the first end of the spring to the second end of the spring to form a cone shape, the complaint portion of the spring having a longitudinal separation between each ringlet to allow the spring to collapse and extend.
- the second end of the cone-shaped spring is truncated to form a closed portion, preferably planar, to form a paddle that aids in mixing.
- the spring has at least one loop extending longitudinally from the first end and away from the second end, the at least one loop having a circumferentially positioned to define an opening that is radially oriented to engage a corresponding extension on one of the container and the top.
- the present design provides a dynamic mixing element that improves the ability to manually mix substances in a closed hand-holdable container.
- the recoiling spring mounted inside the container either on the container itself or on the removable top with easily releasable loops, increases agitation without requiring extra force or energy.
- the additional mixing power is quiet because the mixing element does not collide with the container wall during mixing as do the free floating objects of prior designs.
- the removable cup on the bottom provides storage as well as a cup in which to dispense the mixed material through the top of the container.

- a mixing container 10 formed in accordance with the present disclosure, which includes a container housing 12 with a closed bottom 14 and an open top 16 (shown in Figure 3) to define a hollow interior 18.
- a removable lid 20 is engaged with the container housing 12 to cover the open top 16.
- the removable top includes a dispensing tab 22 that can be selectively opened and closed.
- a mixing element 24 Positioned inside the container housing 12 is a mixing element 24 that can be removably attached to the lid 20 or the container housing 12, although in a preferred embodiment the mixing element 24 is removably attached to the lid 20, as will be described in more detail hereinbelow.
- the container housing 12 is formed of scratch-resistant, double- wide walls for durability.
- the housing container has a circular cross-sectional configuration.
- other configurations such as square or oblong, may be used.
- embossed ounce and millimeter markings may be provided to facilitate measuring and dispensing of material in the housing container as well as to facilitate the calculation of calories.
- the container housing 12 is formed of substantially transparent material, although it may be tinted in different colors for appeal.
- the lid 20 may be threadably engaged with the open top 16 of the housing 12 or it may snap in place.
- the preferred embodiment has the lid 20 threadably engaged with the open top 16 to prevent leakage.
- the dispensing tab 22 can be in the form of a flip cap that snaps securely in place to prevent accidental leakage of fluid from inside the container 12.
- the tab 22 can unsnap and be removed or be pivotally attached to the lid 20 to open and close.
- the lid 20 thus has a dispensing spout 26 from which the contents of the container housing 12 can be poured into another container.
- a user can drink directly from the dispensing spout 26.
- the tab 22 includes a stopper assembly 23 having a first portion 25 that fits into an interior of the spout 26 and a second portion 27 that fits over an exterior of the spout 26 to ensure the tab 22 seals the spout 26.
- the tab 22 may be coupled to the lid 20 to allow the tab to rotate from a closed to an open position.
- Protrusions 29 on each side of the tab 22 engage with indentations 31 in the lid 20 to allow the tab 22 to rotate.
- a container 30 has a removable cup 32 threadably engaged to the exterior closed bottom 14 of the container housing 12.
- This cup 32 can be used to store ingredients to be mixed in the housing 12 and for use in drinking liquid materials poured from the container 30.
- a high-energy protein mix can be stored in the cup while a liquid can be stored in the housing 12.
- the cup 32 is removed and the contents, either liquid or solid, such as a powder, are poured into the housing 12 through the open top 16 (after the lid 20 is removed).
- the lid 20 is then securely screwed onto the housing 12, and the container 30 is vigorously shaken by a user to mix the contents therein.
- the contents can be two or more liquids, a liquid and a dry substance, such as a powder, or various combinations of the foregoing.
- the present disclosed design is configured for use with flowable materials, such as liquid drinks.
- the lid 20 is formed to have the spout 26 projecting no higher than a top surface 28 of the lid.
- a portion of the sidewall 34 of the lid 20 is removed adjacent the pouring spout 26.
- the removed portion leaves a semi-circular cutout 36 in a portion of the sidewall 34 that provides access to the spout 26 for drinking by a user or pouring into the cup 32 or another container.
- the shape of the cutout 36 is immaterial so long as sufficient material is removed to provide access to the spout 26.
- the radius of curvature, the angle of the cutout 36 and other aspects of its appearance are for cosmetic purposes and serve no functional purpose.
- FIG 3 is an exploded isometric view of the container 30 of Figure 2.
- the mixing element 24 includes loops 50 that provide a user with a way to grab the mixing element to remove it from the container housing 12. Alternatively, the loops 50 may be engaged with an interior piece (not shown) of the lid 20 so that the mixing element 24 is attached to the lid 20 for easy removal.
- the mixing element 24 One unique aspect of the present disclosed embodiments is the use of a mixing element having one end that is fixedly but removably attached to the container, such as the lid, and a second end that is appended to the first end by a compliant section that allows the second end to move relative to the first end, both toward and away from the first end.
- the mixing element 24 has an original shape that can change in response to forces acting upon the mixing element 24, such as to collapse and extend in length along a longitudinal axis of the mixing element 24.
- the mixing element 24 is formed of a length of filament 40 that is coiled to form a spring 42 having a plurality of continuous ringlets 44 concentric to the longitudinal axis Y (shown in Figure 6) of the mixing element 24.
- the ringlets 44 start at a first or top end 46 and continue through to a second end 48 of the spring 42.
- the first ringlet 44 has a pair of partially formed loops 50 positioned circumferentially at the top of the spring 42 to extend away from the second end 48.
- Each loop 50 defines an opening 52 that is radially oriented to engage a corresponding extension on one of the container and the top.
- the extension is formed on the top, as described in more detail below.
- the openings 52 thus provide a way to positively engage the mixing element 24 with the container, preferably the lid 20, so that the first end 46 remains substantially stationary.
- the plurality of ringlets 44 are separated by a longitudinal space 54 formed between each ringlet 44.
- the longitudinal spacing 54 between the ringlets 44 allows the ringlets 44 to collapse together and to extend apart in response to a force exerted on the mixing element 24.
- the filament 40 that forms the mixing element 24 is formed of compliant material that returns to its original shape after a force to which it is subjected is removed.
- the ringlets 44 in a compliant portion of the spring 42 having a progressively reducing diameter from the first end 46 to the second end 48 of the spring 42 to form a cone shape.
- the compliant portion of the spring is formed by the longitudinal separation between the ringlets 44 that allows the spring 42 to collapse and extend along the longitudinal axis Y.
- the final ringlet 56 is enclosed through at least a portion of the diameter of the plane defined by the ringlet 56 to form a substantially planar portion 58.
- a central opening 60 is provided in the planar portion 58 to allow liquid to flow therethrough.
- the planar portion 58 thus acts as a paddle to facilitate agitation of substance in the container housing 12 as the spring 42 collapses and extends in response to a shaking force applied to the container 10, 30.
- the spring 42 does not move laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis Y, thus protecting the housing 12 from scratching and damage due to contact with the spring 42 as it extends and collapses.
- the spring 42 can have other configurations, such as cylindrical, square, or other polygon cross-sectional shape, such as to match the cross-sectional configuration of the housing 12.
- the mixing element 24 in the configuration described above provides a dynamic mixing to materials in the housing 12 inasmuch as it moves only when the housing 12 is subjected to an outside force, such as shaking by a user.
- a container 130 has a removable cup 132 threadably engaged to an exterior closed bottom 114 of a container housing 112.
- This cup 132 can be used to store ingredients that are to be mixed in the housing 112.
- it can be used in drinking liquid materials poured from the container 130.
- a high-energy protein mix can be stored in the cup while a liquid can be stored in the housing 112.
- the cup 132 is removed and the contents thereof, either liquid or solid, such as a powder, are poured into the housing 112 through an open top 116 (after a lid 120 is removed).
- the lid 120 is then securely screwed onto the housing 112, and the container 130 is vigorously shaken by a user to mix the contents therein.
- the container 130 includes a mixing element 124 that is configured to mix the powder into the liquid.
- the lid 120 and the housing 112 work together to keep a first end 146 (see Figures 10A and 10B) of the mixing element 124 fixed as the container 130 is shaken to mix the contents.
- the lid 120 includes a sealing tab 122 that is configured to hinge from an open position to a closed position to provide access to and to seal the spout 126.
- a first end 123 of the tab 122 is coupled to the lid 120 an allows the tab 122 to rotate from the first end 123.
- a second end 125 is configured to rotate up and away from the spout 126 so that the spout 126 is available for use or can be sealed for transport.
- FIGS 8 and 9 are side and cross-sectional views, respectively, of the housing 112 of Figure 7.
- the housing in Figure 7 is illustrated as transparent so that threads 115 of the housing 112 coupled with threads 117 of the cup 132 are visible.
- the housing 112 is shown as opaque, such that the threads 115 are not visible.
- the housing 112 has an interior wall 111 and exterior wall 113.
- the exterior wall 113 includes a circumscribing shoulder 115 and a spiral shaped external thread 117 formed around an upper portion of the housing 112.
- the external thread 117 is configured to mate with internal threads on the lid 120 to threadably attach the lid 120 to the container 130 and provide a liquid seal therebetween.
- the container housing 112 has the interior wall 1 11 that includes a circumscribing internal shelf 119 formed adjacent to the opening 116 of the container 112.
- the shelf 119 is configured to receive the largest ring on a first end 146 of the mixing element 124.
- a feature extending from the lid 120 described further below, pushes the ring on the first end 146 of the mixing element 124 into engagement with the shelf 119 and holds the first end 146 in place as the container 120 is shaken to mix powder and liquid contained therein.
- the threads 115 are formed in a spiral configuration that is configured to mate with the threads on the cup 132.
- Figures 10A and 10B are side and top views, respectively, of the cone- shaped mixing element 124 of Figure 7 formed of a single spiral of metal, such as spring steel.
- the first end 146 of the mixing element 124 has the largest ring of the multiple turns of the spiral, and is structured to be fixedly, but removably, held in place in the container 130 to aid in breaking up and mixing of powder.
- a second end 148 of the mixing element 124 is appended to the first end 146 by a compliant section that allows the second end to move relative to the first end both vertically and laterally.
- the mixing element 124 is formed of a length of filament 140 coiled to form a spring 142 having a plurality of continuous concentric circular ringlets 144a-144f.
- the filament 140 is of a particular gauge or thickness that allows limited movement of the second end 148 toward the first end 146 during shaking, but does not allow complete collapse of the spring 142 to the first end 146.
- the filament 140 is relatively rigid to provide a somewhat immobile mixing element in the housing 112 that is configured to break apart and mix the powder.
- the filament 140 that forms the mixing element 124 is formed of compliant material that returns to its original shape after a force to which it is subjected is removed.
- the ringlets 144a- 144f begin with a first ringlet 144a having a first diameter at the first end 146 and each consecutive concentric ringlet 144 has a progressively smaller diameter than the previous ringlet.
- the ringlets 144a-144f are separated from each other by a plurality of openings 154.
- a size of each opening 154 can vary depending on the force used to shake the container 130.
- a shape of the mixing element 124 changes based on the forces applied, such that the second end 148 moves towards and away from the first end 146.
- the ringlets 144e and 144f nearest the first end 146 are the most compliant ringlets and form a compliant portion 153 of the mixing element 124.
- the compliant portion 153 produces the most movement.
- the other ringlets 144a-144d generally retain their resting shape during mixing so that the mixing element 124 has a relatively fixed portion 155 that is moved in the fluid by the compliant portion. Having this relatively fixed portion 155 and the compliant portion 153 allows for some lateral movement of the mixing element 124. However, the lateral movement of the mixing element is limited and does not scratch the interior wall 111 of the housing 112.
- the mixing element 124 includes a first straight portion 151 that forms the second end 148 and extends into the first ringlet 144a.
- the first straight portion 151 allows liquid to flow into and out of the mixing element while providing an additional object to break up any clumps of powder that may be moving through the liquid.
- FIGS 11-14 are various views of the lid 120.
- the lid 120 is formed to have a spout 126 projecting no higher than a top surface 128 of the lid 120.
- a portion of a sidewall 136 of the lid 120 is removed adjacent the pouring spout 126.
- the removed portion leaves a semi-circular cutout 134 in a portion of the sidewall 136 that provides access to the spout 126 for drinking by a user or pouring into the cup 132 or another container.
- the shape of the cutout 134 is immaterial so long as sufficient material is removed to provide access to the spout 126.
- the radius of curvature, the angle of the cutout 134 and other aspects of its appearance are for cosmetic purposes and serve no functional purpose.
- the lid 120 includes a plurality of receiving members 161 that cooperate with the shelf 119 to securely hold the first end 146 of the mixing element 124 in the container 130 when the lid 120 is in place.
- the receiving members 161 have a surface 163 that contacts the first end 146 of the mixing element 124.
- the surface 163 has an area that covers at least a portion of the first end 146 to prevent the mixing element from moving during shaking of the container 130.
- the receiving members 161 are structured in this embodiment as pillars of material formed integrally with the sidewalls 136 of the lid 120. The shape and number of the receiving members 161 can vary based on the size and structure of the lid 120.
- Figure 11 includes an alternative embodiment of the mixing element 124 that includes a gripping bar 163 formed integrally with the filament 140.
- the gripping bar 163 is a straight portion of the filament 163 that extends across the diameter of the first end 146.
- the gripping bar 163 provides users with a way to remove the mixing element 124 from the housing 112.
- Figure 14 is a cross-sectional view of the lid 120 of Figure 12 taken through the spout 126.
- the tab 122 (not shown in this cross-section) is coupled to the lid 120 in a manner that allows rotation of the first end 123 around an axis 127.
- An opening 131 provides space for the first end 123 of the tab 122 to rotate without contacting other portions of the lid 120.
- the spout 126 ends below the surface 128 of the lid 120, which provides room for the tab 122 to engage with the spout 126 and be flush with the surface 128.
- the lid 120 includes indentations 129 that are configured to receive the protrusions of the tab 122 and allow the tab 122 to rotate.
- the lid also includes threads 133 that are formed in a spiral configuration and are configured to merge with threads of the housing 112 to couple the lid 120 to the housing 112.
- FIG 15 is an enhanced view of an alternative embodiment of a lid 202 that is configured to receive and retain the first end 146 of the mixing element 124 in the container 130 during shaking.
- the lid 202 includes internal threads 212 to securely couple the lid 202 to the container.
- the threads 212 are formed on a first portion 216 of the lid 202.
- a second portion 218 of the lid is configured to receive and retain the mixing element 124.
- the spout 126 and a top interior surface 220 of the lid 212 are part of the second portion 218.
- a plurality of receiving members 214 are formed integrally with the lid 202 on the second portion 218.
- the receiving members 214 are configured to receive and retain the first end 146 of the mixing element 124 adjacent to the interface between the first and second portion 216, 218.
- the receiving members 214 are sized and shaped to lock the mixing element 124 into place so that the mixing element is fixedly attached to the lid during shaking.
- the receiving members 214 are structured to have a radially oriented rectangular base 228 that extends from the interior surface 220 of the lid 202 towards the interior thereof.
- an opening 230 is formed that opens to the upper exterior edge of the base 228 and terminates in a channel 222 that is configured to receive the first end 146 of the mixing element 124.
- a narrowing member 224 in conjunction with a sloped sidewall 226 of the channel 222 allow the first end 146 of the mixing element 124 to easily snap into the curved end 222 and be held in place.
- the narrowing member 214 extends into the opening 230 to securely retain the first end 204 in frictional engagement.
- the mixing element 124 is similar to the mixing element discussed above, but may include more ringlets 144 from the first end 146 to the second end 148. More ringlets 144 may result in a stiffer mixing element 124 with smaller spaces 154 between the ringlets 144. Alternatively, the mixing element 124 may have a larger diameter container. The larger diameter may require more ringlets 144 to achieve the relatively compliant portion 153 and the relatively rigid portion 155.
- Figures 16-26 are alternative embodiments of a mixing container 310 formed in accordance with the present disclosure.
