MIXING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A mixing system and method may be used to facilitate mixture of ingredients within a container such as a bottle for baby formula, fitness drinks, medicines, food substances, art materials, and/or the like. The mixing system may include a mixing apparatus with a container engagement component that couples the mixing system to the container, and a mixing component that mixes the ingredients. The mixing component may have a plurality of mixing surfaces arranged to contact the ingredients in a manner that facilitates mixture of the ingredients together, in response to motion of the container. Alternatively, the container engagement component may be omitted. In either case, each of the mixing members may have one or more windows that facilitate mixture of the ingredients passing there through. Two or more mixing members may be connected together via a shaft and may rotate or otherwise move relative to each other on the shaft.
MIXING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A mixing system and method may be used to facilitate mixture of ingredients within a container such as a bottle for mixing fitness and recreational beverages and the like. The mixing system may include a mixing apparatus with a container engagement component that couples the mixing system to the container, and a mixing component that mixes the ingredients. The mixing component may have a shaft, a plurality of rotatable mixing members that are rotatable about the shaft, and a plurality of stationary mixing members that are fixedly secured to the shaft. The mixing members may be arranged to contact the ingredients in a manner that facilitates mixture of the ingredients together, in response to repetitive motion of the container.
Dispensers For Dispensing Microcapsules
A dispenser for applying at least two compositions, the dispenser including at least two reservoirs for storing the at least two compositions separately, at least two pumps for pumping the at least two compositions, which pumps have different strokes, an exit orifice, and an actuator assembly. The difference between the first stroke and the second stroke is accommodated through flexure of a flexing member in the actuator assembly. The first composition includes microcapsules and the second composition includes a volatile solvent.
Shakeable Container with Agitator
A hand-held shakeable container that includes an agitator connected to a straw that is used for the mixing of powder and liquid, or differing viscosity liquids.
Ice-breaking device and method
A device for breaking up frozen substance in a drink comprises a springy sheet with a plurality of shaving elements protruding from the sheet, wherein the sheet is configured to orient in a curled configuration for insertion into a container such as a cocktail shaker, and wherein the sheet is further configured to expand to press itself up against the interior surface of the container, such that the sheet maintains a fixed position within the container during shaking of the container, without extraneous attachment elements. In some embodiments, each of the shaving elements includes a combination of rounded cutting edges and straight cutting edges.
Manufacturing apparatus, mixing machine and/or receiving device for the manufacture of a composition from a mixture of formulations
An apparatus for manufacturing a cosmetic product including a mixing machine having a removable receiving device, a support defining a receiving housing, able to receive the receiving device, the receiving device being configured to receive first and second capsules containing respectively a first formulation and a second formulation, the two capsules being fluidly linked to each other, an actuation system, movable inside the receiving housing to exert a pressure force on the receiving device and/or on the first and/or the second capsule(s), a clamping mechanism, movable relative to the support and configured: in an insertion position, not to interfere with the insertion and the withdrawal of the receiving device including capsules into/from the receiving housing, and in a clamping position, to pinch a section of a capsule, in which the clamping mechanism is a clamping wheel, movable in rotation about a clamping wheel axis.
Pre-filled container, method of use and related production method
This invention relates to a container (1) which is pre-filled or pre-fillable with one or more substances, such as a medical liquid and similar, comprising a squeezable activation compartment (2) intended to contain said one or more substances, a dispensing compartment (3) including a first portion (31) equipped with at least one dispensing member (311, 312, 314) of said one or more substances, and a second portion (32), wherein said second portion (32) of said dispensing compartment (3) and said activation compartment (2) are fluid-dynamically connected, and an activator element (4) arranged inside said container (1). This invention also relates to a method for dispensing at least one substance by means of a container (1), and to a production method of a container (1).
SELF-BLENDING BOTTLE
A device for mixing or blending the contents of the device into a liquid or semi-liquid. The device includes a bottle body, a bottle lid connected to a top end of the bottle body, and a mixer located within the bottle body. The mixer may be powered by a motor or by a manual crank turned by a user.
WATER BOTTLE DEVICE ASSEMBLY
A water bottle system for adding an additive, which may be flavoring, to the line of flow without contaminating the main reservoir. The system may include a water bottle with a lid feature that may maintain a flavor that may be infused into the water within the water bottle. The infusion of the additive may be adjusted by a user to have the desired concentration of additive to a user's liking. The additive cartridge may be reusable or disposable depending on a user's preference.
ADJUSTABLE ADDITIVE DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An additive delivery system may incorporate a cartridge system, including a container cap and a reservoir assembly that provides for storage of an additive. The container cap includes a mixing nozzle for mixing of the additive with a base fluid as the base fluid flows from the base fluid container through the cartridge. A one-way valve prevents backflow of base fluid and/or mixed base fluid/additive from an area downstream of the mixing nozzle such that the base fluid supply remains in a pure state.
