The purpose of stirring a can of paint or fluids before their use is to lift to the surface heavier paint matter that fall out of the solution and tend to settle to the bottom of the container. Manual paint mixing, blending and stirring paddles are flat and not mechanically designed to lift or push to the top of the container all the heavier paint/fluid matter settled to the bottom of the container. This invention is a device designed to lift or push up the heavier paint/fluid matter from the bottom to the surface while using a stirring or to-and-fro reciprocal motion. This manual device could be motorized to turn it at appropriate speeds. One embodiment can be attached or clipped to the foot of the common flat paint-stirring or blending paddle to transform it into a more effective paint mixing and blending tool.

A method and system for creating exemplary end-use paint color includes a network module providing a first user input including paint color characteristics from a user device of a user to a paint analysis module. At least one colorant identifier associated with the first user input is generated by the paint analysis module via a color formula database. Colorants associated with the colorant identifiers are supplied to a kit, which is provided to the user. A second user input including a paint quantity is provided to the conversion module from the user device. A conversion module generates a quantity of each of the colorants based on the second user input; the quantities are sent to the user device. User-preferred paint colors are formed via a mixing means and applied to a display means. One or more user-preferred paint colors are confirmed as exemplary end-use paint colors by the user.

Connector devices (3) for mixing and stirring viscous liquids is disclosed. The connectors are an injection molded plastic and are recyclable. The first device is a one piece mixing connector combining a hexaxial shaft for power drill attachment by insertion into the adjustable drill chuck and a cavity insertable slotted bracket located at the opposite end of a shaft for insertion of a mixing stick. The assembled parts are then lowered into a container and the drill activated by the trigger turning the assembly and stirring the liquid. The second device is a one piece plastic, recyclable, rectangle ring that is put on the stick before mixing and slowly removed in the opposite direction of installation thus using the squeegee effect to push the unused material back into the container for future use. The third device is an extension where the end of the first stick is inserted in the cavity insertable slot and a second stick is inserted in opposite end's cavity insertable slot to double the length for mixing in larger, deeper containers.

A container (1) for a viscous liquid, in particular a colorant for paint, may comprise a stirrer (2) having a rotatable shaft (3) and a plurality of paddles (4) connected to the shaft (3). At least one of the paddles (4) and/or the connections (5) between the paddles (4) and the shaft (4) is flexible.

A mixing and paint-making device and method for making paint are described. Embodiments of the paint-making device include a first and second palette hingedly coupled to a base. The base includes a paint pot shaking component configured to agitate and/or translate a paint pot. The paint pot shaking component includes a series of gears and pistons that interact to produce a shaking motion for a paint pot coupled to the paint pot shaking component. In one embodiment, the paint pot shaking component includes a crank gear adjacent a combination gear that contacts a slide crankshaft. The slide crankshaft is coupled to a slide crank arm that is secured by slide bracket coupled to the base. A paint pot harness holds a paint pot during agitation and moves in an upward and downward motion corresponding to the motion of the slide crank arm.

A 3 in 1 painter's tool that improves the process of cleaning a paint roller cover by removing excess paint from the paint roller cover before cleaning with water or oil-based paint solvents. In addition, the 3 in 1 tool acts as a handy paint tin opener and stirring stick that gets into the corners of the tin.

A novel canister storage system, mixing system, canister assembly, dispensing system, and tracking system. In one or more embodiments, the systems are used for storing, mixing and dispensing fluids.
