A handheld apparatus for mixing food product comprising a manual input and a drive structure comprising a drive input, wherein the manual input is operatively connected to the drive input to actuate the drive means, the drive means further comprising first and second drive outputs operatively coupled to the drive input and being arranged to simultaneously rotate the first drive output in a first direction and rotate the second drive output in a second direction and rotate both drive outputs in the second direction about the central axis of the apparatus, such that the number of revolutions completed by the first drive output is less than the number of revolutions completed by the second drive output each time the drive outputs complete a revolution about the central axis.

A truffle configured cosmetic article which includes a protective outer shell, an inner volume of cosmetic and a capsule positioned in the cosmetic containing active ingredients. An appliance is adapted to receive the article, heat and blend the article to produce a warm skin formulation which can be applied by the user. The article is produced with the use of a mold. A combination of wax and coconut oil is melted and applied to most of the interior surface of the mold, defining a volume into which a cosmetic is applied as well as a capsule additive. The article is then sealed with additional wax and coconut oil material. The article is then released and ready for use in the appliance or to be wrapped.

A main container and a sub container for mixing cosmetic and a cosmetic product including the same provides a cosmetic product including a first container providing a first storing space which stores a first fluid, and in which fluid can be mixed; a discharging unit which discharges a fluid stored in the first container to the outside; and a second container which can be coupled to the first container, and which can discharge a second fluid stored in the second container to the first storing space. The second container has a storing state to store the second fluid and an open state to discharge the second fluid, wherein the second container to the open state by the discharging unit being coupled to the first container, and wherein as the second container is converted to the open state, the second fluid is discharged to the first storing space.

In one embodiment, a mixing device includes a sleeve that forms an inner space configured to receive a sample container, a housing associated with the sleeve, a mixing element contained within the housing that is configured to mix liquid contained within the sample container, and an activation element configured to activate the mixing element when the activation element is triggered.

A cup structure includes a bottom, a body and a top cover. A bottom edge of the body is detachably sleeved at the bottom. The top cover is covered on a top of the body. The bottom includes a base, a driving assembly, a transmitting assembly and a cover. A top surface of the base is sunk inward and forms an accommodating space. The driving assembly is disposed in the accommodating space. The transmitting assembly is geared into the driving assembly. The cover is disposed on the transmitting assembly, wherein the cover includes a protrusion, a water-blocking layer and a mixer. The mixer is disposed on a top of the protrusion and includes at least one mixing blade. A power is transmitted to the mixer by the transmitting assembly after the power is generated by the driving assembly, so that the at least one mixing blade is rotated.

A stirring implement includes a stirrer having a single stir rod defining a generally triangular shape at a distal end thereof, a rotating guide defining a slot, wherein the single stir rod of the stirrer is inserted through the slot of the rotating guide such that the single stir rod is positioned at an angle with respect to a planar surface of the rotating guide, and a lid releasably engageable to the rotating guide. The stirrer has a handle at a proximal end thereof and the handle rotates circumferentially beyond an outer perimeter of the lid. An apex defined by the single stir rod travels circumferentially along an inner wall of an outer perimeter of a container attached to the lid.

A French press rod assembly configured to be operably engaged with a French press coffee pot wherein the French press rod assembly provides an element to engage therewith to stabilize the French press rod assembly during removal of the filter screen. The French press rod assembly includes a shaft having a first end and a second end. A handle is secured to the first end of the shaft and a filter screen is removably secured to the second end of the shaft. The shaft has surroundably mounted thereto proximate the second end an engagement member. A flow member is rotatably secured to the shaft wherein the flow member is intermediate the second end of the shaft and the engagement member. In a preferred embodiment of the flow member, the flow member is rotatably mounted to the shaft and includes a plurality of blades.

A capped retail dispenser package encloses and retains a mixing container into which a product mixture is filled using an automated manufacturing system in an individualized manner, such that each individual product container may be charged with a customized or unique formulation different than a previous or subsequent container passing through the system. Mixing is not done prior to filling, but with a mixer received in a slidable bottom portion that functions as a piston. The rod terminates at its upper end with a mixing plate. Movement of the rod through the central opening provides mixing of the product through a reciprocating motion, and preferably with a simultaneous rotation. Movement of the upper mixing plate within the mixing container provides mixing of the container's contents by forcing fluid flow through one or more mixing apertures formed about a flange of the mixing plate.

A rotary drive device for a mixing or grinding cooking appliance includes (i) a rotary subassembly, (ii) a rotary drive member of a food processing arm and, (iii) a rotary coupling member of the rotary subassembly with the drive member for transmitting a rotational movement from the rotary subassembly the drive member. The coupling member is movable between a first position in which the coupling member is adapted to transmit motion in a single direction of rotation of the rotary subassembly and a second position in which the coupling member is adapted to transmit motion in two directions of rotation of the rotary subassembly.

An agitator for disposition within a cavity of a vessel body containing a particulate includes a weighted portion and a stirring portion. The agitator is positioned and disposed relative to the vessel body to move the stirring portion through the particulate in response to movement of the weighted portion in response to gravitational and/or inertial forces acting on the weighted portion due to movement of the vessel body. Particulate storage vessel arrangements and methods of particulate mixing are also described.
