A device for loading, mixing and delivering ingredients includes a measuring bucket pivotably mounted to the free ends of pickup arms pivotably mounted to a mixing vessel including a lid having a depressed basin with an opening formed therethrough. The mixing vessel and the measuring bucket are simultaneously moved with the measuring bucket in a loading position to fill with ingredients. The measuring bucket is moved relative to the mixing vessel from a transport position to an emptying position emptying the ingredients into the mixing vessel. A linkage is pivotably mounted between the pickup arms and the lid to simultaneously move the lid from a closed position to an open position as the measuring bucket moves from the transport position to the emptying position. The ingredients are mixed by mixing paddles inside the mixing vessel, and the mixed ingredients are released from the mixing vessel through an open gate.

At a device for treating a product in a receiving trough (1) which has at least one opening (5) for receiving the product, the treatment of the product is to take place by inner and outer blades (9, 8) which are arranged in the receiving trough (1) and can be driven separately by drives (14; 16). The drive (14) for the at least one inner blade (9) should be located on the same side of the receiving trough (1) as the drive (16) for the at least one outer blade (8).

A bowl assembly for a base driven appliance, the base driven appliance providing a primary drive coupling for the accessory assembly. The accessory assembly including: a bowl element that defines a reservoir; and a gear-box element having a secondary drive coupling and a secondary driven coupling. The bowl element defines a lower recess that removably receives the gear-box element, such that the primary drive coupling can engage the secondary driven coupling when the bowl assembly is supported by the base driven appliance. The secondary driven coupling is couplable to an accessory element that is operated within the reservoir, and such that the accessory element is operable by rotation of the primary drive coupling.

A blender includes a container body to receive food; a blender body to support the container body; a container lid removably mountable to the upper surface of the container body to open and close the upper surface of the container body; and a discharge part provided at the blender body to guide the discharge of liquid or foreign matter accumulated on the upper surface of the blender body to the outside. Accordingly, foreign matter or liquid accumulated on the upper surface of the blender body is prevented from being introduced into a motor assembly, among others.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a system for customizing a cosmetic product. The system includes: an interface device, in electronic communication with a single batch formulation device. The single batch formulation device is configured to formulate a customized cosmetic product, and a threaded container configured to be imported into the single batch formulation device containing a base and exported from the single batch formulation device containing the customized cosmetic.

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 system and method for mud mixing using a container to hold a joint compound and the water. The container having a lid to keep the container shut and preventing the liquids from escaping wherein the container may then be shaken by the user to mix the joint compound with the water. The user then may remove lid and pull on a rod and plate connected to one another at the bottom of holding container. Rod and plate act as a pressure seal, whereby when the rod is pulled all of the mud may be removed from the container and placed into a pan for use.

A mixing assembly and a mixing device configured to mix a bakery, pastry or cosmetic preparation includes a mixing tank configured to receive ingredients intended to be mixed to form the preparation; a first mixing tool configured to be immersed at least partially in the mixing tank and configured to mix the ingredients and/or the preparation. The first mixing tool is configured to be driven in rotation around a first axis of rotation. A second mixing tool is configured to be immersed at least partially in the mixing tank and configured to mix the ingredients and/or the preparation, the second mixing tool being configured to be driven in rotation around a second axis of rotation. The first and second axes of rotation are substantially coaxial.
