Abstract: A twist action mixing container is capable of separately storing various substances for later mixing. The mixing container includes an upper and lower housing which respectively define an upper and lower chamber. The upper and lower chambers are separated by a valve assembly that seals off one chamber from the other until the valve assembly is opened. The valve assembly includes upper and lower valve halves, each of which includes one or more tracks along their periphery and corresponding guide members that insert into said tracks. When the upper and lower housings are twisted in opposite directions, the guide members travel along their respective tracks moving upper and lower valve openings into alignment, thus opening the valve assembly. A preventer is operably coupled to the lower valve for blocking the container opening while the valve assembly is closed.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to specialized containers. Specifically, the invention relates to a mixing container configured to store contents in separate chambers within the same vessel while providing the ability to mix said contents by manually rotating the housings that enclose the chambers of the apparatus. The twist-action rotation of the housings engages a cam actuated seal cutter which cuts through one or more seals, allowing the contents of the chambers to mix to a preferred concentration. Additionally, exemplary embodiments of the mixing apparatus may include pressurized chambers. Further, certain embodiments may utilize various types of action elements in order to engage the rotation of the housing or otherwise produce cutting, puncturing or piercing of elements that prevent mixing of the contents held in the various chambers of the container.
