A pressurized container assembly includes a pressurized container, a valve, and a shearing chamber. A flowable product and propellant are also provided within the container. The propellant is substantially non-soluble in the flowable product. Methods of producing a foamed flowable product using shearing chambers are also disclosed.

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.

A dry powder and liquid mixing apparatus provides a dry powder container integratable with a liquid container, and a lid engaging both the dry powder container and the liquid container to enable selectable storage and mixing of powder and liquid, such as mixing dry infant formula with water. Through simple manual twisting of the lid about the liquid container to a closed state, a user is able to selectively prevent mixing of stored dry powder and liquid. Likewise, through simple manual twisting of the lid about the liquid container to an opened state, a user is able to selectively enable mixing of the dry powder with the liquid, by shaking the apparatus while the lid is in an opened state, resulting in a consumable mixed formula.

A cup for receiving a beverage includes a container body having a side wall and a bottom wall joined at a first radius. A removable lid may be selectively affixed to the top of the side wall. An agitator is also received inside the container body to enhance mixing of the beverage. The agitator has a weighted, central hub and a plurality of elongated projections extending radially from the hub. The projections join the hub at a root and extend to a free end. The free ends are capped by domes having a second radius less than or equal to the first radius. All of the projections have substantially the same length. This affords a shape that allows the agitator to roll freely on the bottom wall or in the corners. Any one of the projections can reach into a corner of the cup and dislodge any solids that may have settled in a corner.

A shaker for housing and dispensing food or drink items. The shaker has a top can sitting atop a bottom can. Each can contains a separate component. The top can is removed and its contents are added to the second can. This allows the user to control how much of the contents from the top can are added to the bottom can. A single multi-compartment vessel houses two separate ingredients and prevents their mixing.

One embodiment of an Easy Shaker may comprise a container, a sleeve, and a lid for use in distributing seasonings and flavorings for foodstuffs. One embodiment of an Easy Shaker may comprise a container and a sleeve. Another embodiment of an Easy Shaker may comprise a sleeve with an elastic band. An Easy Shaker may have token linking information associated therewith, in some embodiments, embedded in a two-dimensional data matrix (e.g., a QR code). A user may obtain access to a non-fungible token (NFT) on a blockchain by use of token linking information associated with an object such as a popcorn bucket or an Easy Shaker. The non-fungible token may describe the popcorn bucket, the Easy Shaker, or some other physical or intangible object.

The technology includes a device for mixing a liquid and a powdered substance in a vessel. The device includes a body having a planar surface with a grid that includes a plurality of openings and at least two elongated apertures arranged in a circumferential direction. The openings and the elongated apertures are co-planar, with the at least two elongated apertures having a cross-sectional area that is more than twice as large as a cross-sectional area of the openings of the grid. The mixing device further includes a plurality of connection portions that extend between the grid and the rim to mechanically connect the grid and the rim. The connection portions are arranged so that at least two apertures are defined between the rim and the periphery of the grid.

There is provided an apparatus and a method for producing a play compound and the play compound itself which, in one embodiment is a compound which sufficiently fluid to be pliable and is typically cold and slimy to the touch. The apparatus and a method provide a powder and liquid to a user, which can be a non-skilled person and thereby allow the mixing of the powder and liquid together by that person to form the play compound outside of a factory environment whilst ensuring that the play compound which is formed has the desired characteristics. Most typically the user which performs the mixing can be the end user, such as a child, who will play with the compound and so the formation of the play compound forms a new part of the play experience.

Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses directed to a container for storing a liquid, the container including a textured surface configured to increase the liquid's dissolved oxygen content, the textured surface having fluid-obstructions configured to disrupt a flow of the liquid in at least one direction, said disruptions being effective to decrease a surface tension associated with the liquid and increasing a surface area associated with the liquid.

A print material container comprising a body to hold print material, a housing, and a detecting member. The housing being coupled to the body and including a movable mass to move in the housing when a shaking force is applied to the print material container. The detecting member to detect the shaking force and to signal a feedback of the shaking force relative to a shaking force threshold.
