Device for circulating liquids inside a compartmentalised container

Abstract

A device to facilitate the flow of one or more liquids within a container, to enable the user to mix the desired number of liquids by selecting the adjacent compartments to be connected, and thus to obtain a blend suited to the needs. It comprises a wall ( 1 ) perforated with at least one hole ( 2 ) and a plate ( 3 ) perforated with at least one hole ( 4 ) too. The plate may comprise a pull tab ( 5 ) and is placed in a space ( 6 ) against or inside the wall. This device is inserted between two compartments filled with liquid, one on the left ( 7 ) and the other on the right ( 8 ) of the device. When the user wishes to mix two liquids contained in each of the two compartments ( 7 )( 8 ), he simply slides the plate ( 3 ) against the wall ( 1 ) so that the two holes ( 2 )( 4 ) are aligned. This allows the liquids to mix.

1 ) Device for producing mixtures of liquids within the same container wherein it comprises a sliding plate perforated with at least one hole laid against a wall of the container, the wall being also perforated with at least one hole and enabling the liquids to flow from one compartment to the other when the holes are aligned, these two holes only being juxtaposed by the sliding of the plate. 
     
     
         2 ) Device according to  claim 1  wherein the plate and the adjoining wall can be perforated by more than one hole. 
     
     
         3 ) Device according to  claim 1  wherein the sliding wall comprises a pull tab at its top. 
     
     
         4 ) Device according to  claim 1  wherein the plate is remotely controlled. 
     
     
         5 ) Device according to  claim 1  wherein the plate is placed in a space (designed for this purpose) inside the wall. 
     
     
         6 ) Device according to  claim 1  wherein the sliding system of the plate is toothed, the notches being either serrated or rounded and helping the user to choose the distance covered by the plate. In this case, the plate and the wall are toothed.
