Mixing container
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a mixing container, which includes an internally cylindrical container ( 1 ) with a lid element ( 2 ) that is closeable at the top, and an internally axially movably arranged mixing element ( 3 ). In that regard, the invention is characterized in that the mixing element ( 3 ) includes at least two snail-shaped spiral parts ( 4, 5 ) with at least one screw-shaped spiral part ( 6 ) arranged axially therebetween, which consists of at least one one-piece wire coil ( 20 ), and, by its snail-shaped ( 4, 5 ) and/or screw-shaped spiral parts ( 6 ), is adapted externally to the inner diameter of the container ( 1 ) while maintaining a small sliding gap ( 7 ), wherein the mixing element ( 3 ) comprises an axial length of at least ¼ to at most ⅔ of the container interior space ( 8 ).
1. A mixing container assembly, comprising an internally cylindrical container ( 1 ) that is closeable at an upper opening, a lid element ( 2 ) adapted to close the internally cylindrical container ( 1 ), and an internally axially movably arranged mixing element ( 3 ), characterized in that the mixing element ( 3 ) includes at least two planar, snail-shaped spiral parts ( 4 , 5 ) and a hollow body ( 9 ) arranged axially therebetween, wherein the planar, snail-shaped spiral parts ( 4 , 5 ) consist of a wire coil ( 20 ), and the outer diameter of the planar, snail-shaped spiral parts ( 4 , 5 ) is adapted to the inner diameter of the container ( 1 ) while maintaining a small sliding gap ( 7 ) such that the mixing element ( 3 ) is guided throughout axial movement by the cylindrical container interior, wherein the mixing element ( 3 ) comprises an axial length of at least 1/4 to at most 2/3 of the container length ( 8 ) and further comprises at least one central helical, screw-shaped spiral part ( 6 ) arranged axially between the at least two planar, snail-shaped spiral parts ( 4 , 5 ), characterized in that the outer diameter of the hollow body ( 9 ) corresponds to the inner diameter of the helical, screw-shaped spiral part or parts ( 6 ) and the hollow body ( 9 ) includes a closeable cylinder part ( 25 ) and two cover elements ( 24 ), of which the outer diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the helical, screw-shaped spiral part or parts ( 6 ), and wherein further at least one of the two cover elements ( 24 ) is screwable with the closeable cylinder part ( 25 ).
2. The mixing container assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cylinder part ( 25 ) includes several through-flow openings for in-flow and out-flow of a mixing liquid.
3. The mixing container assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that the hollow body ( 9 ) is formed of a synthetic plastic or metal material.
4. The mixing container assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that it is embodied as a drinking bottle, wherein the cylindrical container ( 1 ) comprises a first external thread ( 12 ) that is tightly screwable with an inner thread of the lid element ( 2 ) and the lid element ( 2 ) has a drinking closure that further comprises a drinking spout ( 17 ), which is connected with the container length( 8 ) through a round opening, and a pivotable closure bail ( 18 ) having a closure body ( 19 ) adapted to frictionally fit within the drinking spout ( 17 ), with which the drinking spout ( 17 ) is closeable and openable.
5. The mixing container assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mixing element ( 3 ) comprises two of the planar, snail-shaped spiral parts ( 4 , 5 ), which each have an outer diameter that is approximately 0.1 mm to 1 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the container, and the helical, screw-shaped spiral part or parts ( 6 ) arranged axially therebetween, which has an outer diameter of approximately 1/5 to 1/3 of the outer diameter of the two planar, snail-shaped spiral parts ( 4 , 5 ).
6. The mixing container assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mixing element ( 3 ) comprises a one-piece wound wire coil ( 20 ) having a cross-section that is round or angular/cornered.
