Abstract: A portable blender system and method involving a mixing base that is capable of agitating the contents of a container. The base includes a structure for rotating a shaft, a recessed well positioned at a top of the mixing base, a pressure-actuated switch positioned about the periphery of the recessed well, a locking groove, and a portable power source. A container may have an opening at one end and a floor at a second end, wherein the base is tapered. The container includes locking members and in a spaced relation about a periphery of the container. The container may also include a handle that is externally coupled. The container also includes a ring that is selectively attachable and removable from the periphery of the opening such that, when the ring is coupled to the container, the user is able to drink from the container without spilling or dripping.

Abstract: A blender system composed of a mixing base that is capable of agitating the contents of one or more containers. The mixing base includes a means for rotating a shaft, a recessed well positioned at a top of the mixing base, a pressure-actuated switch positioned about the periphery of the recessed well, and a locking groove. One container that may be used with the mixing base is a container with a single open end. This container includes a container body, a selectively removable container base, the container base sized to fit into the recessed well of the mixing base, the container base comprising a means for agitating contents of the container and a means for locking the container within the recessed well of the mixing base. The container body further comprises an attachment element for attaching the container base, and a substantially smooth extension between the attachment element and the open end of the container body to facilitate drinking or pouring the contents of the container body.

Abstract: A blender system including a mixing base is capable of agitating the contents of a plurality of containers. The mixing base includes a rotating shaft, a recessed well, a pressure-actuated switch positioned about the periphery of the recessed well, and a locking groove. One container that may be used with the mixing base has an opening at one end and a base at a second end, where the base is tapered. The container also includes one or more locking members in spaced relation about the periphery of the container body. The container body may be provided with a handle. The container also includes a ring that is selectively attachable and removable from the periphery of the opening such that when the ring is coupled to the container, the user is able to drink from the container without spilling or dripping.

Abstract: A blender system includes a mixing base capable of agitating the contents of associated containers. The mixing base includes a rotatable shaft within a recessed well, a pressure-actuated switch positioned about the periphery of the recessed well, and a locking groove. One container that may be used with the mixing base has an opening at one end and a base at a second end, where the base is tapered. The container also includes one or more locking members in spaced relation about the periphery of the container body. The container body may include a handle coupled to the exterior of the container. The container includes at least one ring selectively attachable and removable from the periphery of the body opening such that when the ring is coupled to the container, the user is able to drink from the container without spilling or dripping.

Abstract: Provided are exemplary embodiments of a multi-purpose exercise system, including an inclined frame, an adjustable handlebar pivotally coupled to the inclined frame, a seat slidably coupled to the inclined frame, a first resilient member configured to couple to the handlebar and to the inclined frame, and a second resilient member configured to couple to the seat and to the inclined frame, where the angle of the adjustable handlebar with respect to the inclined frame is selectably adjustable, and where the exercise device allows exercise of the upper body or the lower body independently.

Abstract: A blender and juicer system comprises a blender container having an open top and an open bottom, and a removable juicer member being open at each end and adapted for insertion into the blender container. The blender container is adapted to prevent the over-insertion of the removable juicer member. The inserted juicer member is adapted to engage operatively the interior of the blender container. The blender and juicer system also comprises a plunger adapted for insertion into the juicer member. The inserted plunger is utilized during a juice extraction operation. The plunger includes a top exterior lip which defines the optimal range of plunger insertion into the juicer member.

Abstract: A blender system composed of a mixing base that is capable of agitating the contents of a plurality of containers. The mixing base includes a member for rotating a shaft, a recessed well positioned at a top of the mixing base, a pressure-actuated switch positioned about the periphery of the recessed well, and a locking groove. One container that may be used with the mixing base is a bullet-shaped container. The bullet-shaped container includes a body, a selectively removable container base, the container base sized to fit into the recessed well of the mixing base, the container base comprising a member for agitating contents of the bullet-shaped container and a member for locking the bullet-shaped container within the recessed well of the base. Alternatively, a blender container may be utilized with the mixing base.
