A wine-decanting cup structure includes a bottom wall, an annular wall, and a plurality of protruding ribs. The bottom wall, the annular wall, and the protruding ribs are made of polyethylene terephthalate. A bottom end of the annular wall is connected to the bottom wall to enclose a containing room for receiving wine. An outer diameter of the annular wall gradually increases and then gradually decreases from the bottom end of the annular wall to a top end of the annular wall. The protruding ribs are integrally formed on an inner periphery of the annular wall and spaced apart from each other. Each of the protruding ribs extends in a longitudinal direction and is bent toward a same direction.

Examples described herein relate to a mixing vessel for consumable substances, a method of using a mixing vessel and a method of manufacturing a mixing vessel. The mixing vessel may be used to produce a consumable liquid, such as a hot beverage. In one example, a mixing vessel for consumable liquids has an internal chamber for receiving consumable substances for mixing and a sealing member for the internal chamber. The sealing member has at least two stable spatial configurations to change a volume of the internal chamber. The sealing member is arranged to transition between the at least two stable spatial configurations on application of a pressure generated within the internal chamber during mixing to increase the volume of the internal chamber.

A container for bone cement includes a first member defining a chamber, which contains a first ingredient. The chamber also includes a second member movably coupled to the first member. The second member includes a mixing device that is movably disposed within the first chamber, and the second member defines a second chamber containing a second ingredient. The container additional includes an opening device that selectively opens the second chamber and allows the second ingredient to enter from the second chamber into the first chamber. The mixing device is movable within the first chamber to promote mixing of the first ingredient and the second ingredient to prepare the bone cement. A corresponding method of preparing bone cement is also disclosed.

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.

A product is provided containing a single dose of foamed liquid milk composition for use in a beverage, the product including a disposable container with a single dose of the composition which, upon agitation of the container, is aerated, wherein the composition includes milk having a fat content of 0%-4%, a protein, an edible natural gum, and an additive.

Apparatuses and methods based thereon are provided for mixing utilizing mixer inserts. A mixer insert may be adapted to enclose a space in a container, with the mixer insert having one or more securing components for securing the mixer insert to the container, and one or more mixing components, adapted to fit within the enclosed space when the mixer insert is secured to the container, with the one or more mixing components being configured to mix material placed within the enclosed space when the container is subject to a rotational force or movement. The mixer insert may have a closing section that has a shape matching an opening of the container, with the mixer insert being configured such that the closing section engages the opening of the container. At least one of the mixing components may be a blade, which may be twisted along the length of the blade.

A fluid container and dispenser have an associated source of power to energize a light source coupled in optical communication with portion of the container to energize the luminescent fluid contents before they are dispensed.
