Shaker System and Method

Abstract

A shaker for housing and dispensing food or drink items. The shaker has a top can sitting atop a bottom can. Each can contains a separate component. The top can is removed and its contents are added to the second can. This allows the user to control how much of the contents from the top can are added to the bottom can. A single multi-compartment vessel houses two separate ingredients and prevents their mixing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A binding, said binding comprising:
 a first void for receiving a lip of a top can;   a second void for receiving a lip of a bottom can;   wherein said first and second void surround a central void;   wherein said first void opens from above and wherein said second void opens from below.   
     
     
         2 . The binding of  claim 1  wherein said first void comprises a protrusion. 
     
     
         3 . The binding of  claim 1  wherein said second void comprises a protrusion. 
     
     
         4 . The binding of  claim 1  wherein said first void comprises an outer vertical wall, an inner vertical wall, coupled with a void base. 
     
     
         5 . The binding of  claim 4  wherein said outer vertical wall comprises a protrusion, and wherein said inner vertical wall has a protrusion. 
     
     
         6 . The binding of  claim 5  wherein the protrusion of said inner vertical wall is located below said void base. 
     
     
         7 . The binding of  claim 4  wherein said outer vertical wall, said inner wall vertical wall, and said void base create a pocket in said first void. 
     
     
         8 . The binding of  claim 4  further comprising a shelf which extends inwardly from said inner vertical wall. 
     
     
         9 . The binding of  claim 4  and wherein the protrusion of said inner vertical wall defines a pocket for said second void. 
     
     
         10 . The binding of  claim 7  wherein said lip of said top can is received by said pocket. 
     
     
         11 . The binding of  claim 10  wherein said lip of said bottom can is received by a pocket in said second void. 
     
     
         12 . The binding of  claim 1  comprising plastic. 
     
     
         13 . The binding of  claim 1  wherein said first void and second void comprise the same diameter. 
     
     
         14 . The binding of  claim 1  wherein said first void and said second void comprise a different diameter. 
     
     
         15 . The binding of  claim 1  wherein said first void couples to the lip of the top can via friction. 
     
     
         16 . The binding of  claim 1  further comprising a top can and a bottom can, wherein said top can comprises a top lid, and wherein said bottom can comprises a top lid, and wherein the top lid of the top can is stored adjacent to the top lid of the bottom can in said binding.
