TWIST-ACTION MIXING BOTTLE
First Claim
1. A twist-action mixing container comprising:
- an upper bottle portion, said upper bottle portion defining an upper chamber;
a lower bottle portion, said lower bottle portion defining a lower chamber;
one or more seals interposed between said upper bottle portion and lower bottle portion; and
a cam actuated seal cutter integrated within said upper bottle portion;
wherein said cam actuated seal cutter is movably secured in a bottom portion of said upper bottle portion,wherein said upper bottle portion and lower bottle portion each comprise one or more of a track or a corresponding guide member,wherein said track and said corresponding guide member are configured to securely attach said upper bottle portion and lower bottle portion together to form a connection therebetween wherein said corresponding guide member travels along said track when at least one of said upper bottle portion and lower bottle portion is rotated relative to the other,wherein said cam actuated seal cutter comprises a means for cutting said one or more seals, andwherein said upper bottle portion and lower bottle portion may be rotated in opposite directions, thereby causing said corresponding guide member to travel along the corresponding track, effecting the lowering of the cam actuated seal cutter into said one or more seals and thereby causing the cutting of said one or more seals, allowing the contents of the upper bottle portion and lower bottle portion to mix.

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.

11. A twist-action mixing container comprising:
-
A plurality of bottle portions, each bottle portion forming a chamber therein; one or more seals interposed between each of said plurality of bottle portions; and one or more cam actuated seal cutters integrated within one or more of said plurality of bottle portions; wherein each of said one or more cam actuated seal cutters is movably secured in one or more of said plurality of bottle portions, wherein each of said plurality of bottle portions is comprised of one or more of a track or a corresponding guide member, wherein said track and said corresponding guide member are configured to securely attach two of said plurality of bottle portions together to form a connection therebetween wherein said corresponding guide member travels along said track when at least one of said upper bottle portion and lower bottle portion is rotated relative to the other, wherein each of said cam actuated seal cutters comprise a means for cutting at least one of said one or more seals, and wherein each of said plurality of bottle portions may be actuated, thereby causing said corresponding guide member to travel along the corresponding track, effecting the lowering of one or more of said one or more cam actuated seal cutters into one or more of said one or more seals and thereby causing the cutting of one or more of said one or more seals, allowing the contents of at least two of said plurality of bottle portions to mix. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
