Attachable mixing device

Abstract

A portable, re-usable mixing device adapted to be removably attachable and re-attachable to a material entry site of a container of a liquid to be blended with another material. The mixing device has a housing encompassing a mixing chamber having, relative to the vertical plane, an upper end and a lower end. The upper end has a re-openable and re-closeable cover such as a screw cap, or any other closure device for the mixing chamber, although under some circumstances, the upper end itself maybe closed and not be re-openable and re-closeable. The lower end is adaptable for removable attachment to the container containing the liquid or other material to be blended whereby said mixing chamber is in substantially liquid sealable communication with the inner volume of said container.

1 . A mixing device adapted for removable attachment to a container capable of containing a first material to be mixed with a second material, said container comprising a material entry site, and closure means thereat,
 said mixing device comprising a mixing chamber wherein at least a portion of said first material and said second material can be mixed,   said mixing device, relative to a vertical plane, comprising an upper end and a lower end,   said lower end being adaptable to communicate with said material entry site closure means, and to be re-attachably and re-detachably engageable to the said entry site of said container,   said upper end comprising a re-openable and re-closeable closure means.   
     
     
         2 . A mixing device adapted for removable attachment to a container capable of containing a first material to be mixed with a second material, said container comprising a material entry site, and closure means thereat,
 said mixing device comprising a mixing chamber wherein at least a portion of said first material and said second material can be mixed, said device, relative to a vertical plane, comprising an upper end and a lower end,   said lower end being adaptable to communicate with said material entry site closure means, and to be re-attachably and re-detachably engageable to the entry site of said container,   said upper end being closed.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the lower end closure means comprises a female thread configuration adapted to be attachable to a male threaded material entry site of said container. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3  wherein the upper end closure means comprises a male threaded configuration. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4  wherein the upper end additionally comprises a reciprocally threaded cap to engage said male configuration. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5  wherein the lower end closure means comprises a male threaded cap configuration to engage the female threaded portion of the closure means. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the lower end closure means comprises a snap fit or pressure fit closure to engage a reciprocally configured material entry site. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7  wherein the lower end comprises a stopper to close the lower end closure means. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the lower end closure means comprises a female threaded configuration adapted to be attachable to a male threaded material entry site of said container. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9  wherein the lower end closure means comprises a male threaded cap configuration to engage the female threaded portion of the closure means. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 7  wherein the lower end comprises a stopper to close the lower end closure means. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the lower end closure means comprises a snap fit or pressure fit closure to engage a reciprocally configured material entry site. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12  wherein the lower end comprises a stopper to close the lower end closure means.
