CONTAINER CAPABLE OF MIXING MULTIPLE MATERIALS
A container capable of mixing multiple materials comprises a body and a controlling device movably disposed inside the body. An accommodating area for storing a main material and a storage area adjacent to the accommodating area are formed in the body. A partitioning wall is disposed to divide the storage area into a plurality of rooms for storing multiple additive materials. The controlling device includes a baffle which blocks the storage area off whereby the main material and additive materials are separated without mixing. By a movement of the controlling device, the storage area is not blocked by the baffle, which allows the rooms to communicate with the accommodating area and allows multiple materials in the two areas to mix together. Therefore, the mixture with a variety of materials is provided, and the convenience in the use is increased.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a container, particularly to a container capable of mixing multiple materials.
2. Description of the Related Art
Generally, a prior container can merely store one kind of beverages. If a user wants to make an exclusive beverage, he should mix different beverages in different containers together. Therefore, there is a container capable of mixing materials invented to meet the demand.
Referring to
However, there is only one material b (solid or liquid) to fill the cap 12, so a mixture made by mixing three or more materials cannot be attained. Therefore, the variety of beverages caused by the prior cap 1 is restricted. Further, the cap 12 and the bottle 11 are usually coupled with each other in advance before being sold, with a gap formed between the cap 12 and the bottle 11. To do the mixing action, only a downward force imparted to the cap 12 is sufficient to make the mouth 112 push the block 13 upwardly. Since the cap 12 is always naked during the conveyance or the naked cap 12 is on view at the shop shelves, the material b in the cap 12 may flow into the bottle 11 unexpectedly and mix with the first liquid beverage a beforehand when there is a downward external force imparting to the cap 12 improperly. Thus, the first liquid beverage a may lose the freshness of sensation in the mouth before the user drinks it and the consumer's purchase desire may also be decreased.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe object of this invention is to provide a container capable of mixing multiple materials which isolates different materials before the mixing action and allows a quick mixing effect of various materials, thereby providing a mixture with a variety of materials and increasing the convenience in the use.
Accordingly, the container capable of mixing multiple materials in accordance with this invention comprises a body and a controlling device movably disposed in the body. An interior of the body forms an accommodating area for storing a main material and a storage area adjacent to the accommodating area. A partitioning wall is disposed in the interior of the body for dividing the storage area into a plurality of rooms where multiple additive materials are respectively stored. The controlling device includes a baffle in contact with the partitioning wall for blocking the storage area, a shank connected to the baffle and extending out of the body, and a press plate connected to the shank. By using the baffle, the main material and additive materials are separated before mixing. When a movement of the shank is activated, the baffle stops blocking the storage area off whereby the additive materials in the rooms mix with the main material in the accommodating area to increase the convenience in the use and attain a variety of beverages by adding different substances into the main material.
Preferably, the body can be covered with a cap, thereby preventing the occurrence of an unexpected mixing action caused by the improper external force.
Preferably, the body forms an opening communicating with the accommodating area. The cap comprises a bottom surface for covering the opening of the body and a recess formed on the bottom surface for accommodating the baffle of the controlling device.
Preferably, a neck portion adjacent to the baffle is recessedly formed on the shank.
Preferably, the body comprises an accommodating part whose interior forms the accommodating area and a storage part whose interior forms the storage area. The accommodating part and the storage part are combined together. The accommodating part forms an opening communicating with the accommodating area. The partitioning wall is disposed inside the storage part for dividing the storage area into the rooms.
Preferably, the body comprises an accommodating part whose interior forms the accommodating area and a storage part whose interior forms the storage area. Two ends of the storage part are connected to the accommodating part and the cap respectively. The accommodating part forms an opening communicating with the accommodating area. The partitioning wall is disposed inside the storage part for dividing the storage area into the rooms.
The advantages of this invention over the known prior arts are more apparent to those of ordinary skilled in the art upon reading following descriptions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

With respect to the controlling device 32, it can control the communication relationship between the storage area 312 and the accommodating area 311. The controlling device 32 includes a baffle 321 in contact with the partitioning wall 313 for blocking the storage area 312 off, a shank 322 connected to the baffle 321 and extending out of the body 31, and a press plate 323 connected to the shank 322. A movement of the shank 322 drives the baffle 321 to move, and the baffle 321 is separated from the partitioning wall 313 whereby the storage area 312 communicates with the accommodating area 311 and the additive materials M1, M2, M3 in the rooms S mix with the main material M0 in the accommodating area 311. In addition, the cap 33 can comprise a bottom surface 331 for covering the opening 310 of the body 31 and a recess 332 formed on the bottom surface 331 for accommodating the baffle 321 of the controlling device 32, as shown in

To sum up, the container capable of mixing multiple materials takes advantage of the controlling device movably disposed in the body to block and separate different materials in the body before the mixing action. When the mixing action starts, the movement of the baffle of the controlling device stops blocking the storage area off, thereby attaining a quick mixing effect of multiple materials, proving a mixture with different sorts of materials and increasing the convenience in the use.
While the embodiments in accordance with this invention are shown and described, it is understood that further variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
