Abstract: A wine breather apparatus for aerating wine having a motor driven oscillating coupler for connecting two wine containers to flow wine from one container to the other upon oscillating of the coupler and the containers to aerate the wine with a valve on the coupler for allowing outside air into the coupler and containers during oscillation thereof to aerate the wine.

Abstract: There is provided a mixing apparatus wherein liquid or pulverous material is mixed by shaking a can containing the material to be mixed. An inner frame of the apparatus is provided with a table for the can and a means for clamping the can to the table. The inner frame is arranged for vibration relative to an outer frame. An electric motor is mounted on the outer frame and drives by way of a transmission system the clamping means, which comprises a screw/nut assembly. Two parallel links couple the inner frame to the outer frame and the motor power is transferred.A pulley/belt assembly transfers the motor power to that part of the transmission system which is mounted on the inner frame. The pulleys of this assembly are substantially coaxial with the pivot axes of the links.A remote control system is provided for automatic sequential and controlled operation of the apparatus functions during a mixing cycle, i.e. clamping shaking and releasing a can.
