Abstract

A bottle mixer including a housing that contains a motor, a battery, a controller, controls, and a thermometer all operatively connected to a controller. Threads are provided on a top side of the housing that are adapted to connect to a standard baby bottle. The motor inside the housing is connected to a blade outside the housing that protrudes into attached baby bottle. Selecting a first control spins the blade inside the bottle for a predetermined time. Selecting the second control spins the blade until a predetermined temperature of the bottle contents is reached.

Claims

1. A bottle mixer comprised of:

a housing containing a motor, a battery, a thermometer, a thermostat, a display, a first control, a second control, a port, a standard baby bottle and a heater, each operatively connected to a controller;

the baby bottle is comprised of a liquid tight container having an opening with an external thread;

a top side of the housing has a first thread adapted to connect to the external thread on the baby bottle forming a watertight seal between the baby bottle and the top side of the housing exterior to the housing;

the baby bottle has an interior volume;

the motor is affixed inside the housing and is operably connected to a blade above and permanently connected to the top side of the housing;

the blade is positioned at a predetermined distance inside the baby bottle through the opening when the baby bottle is connected to the top side of the housing;

the heater and thermometer are in the interior volume of the baby bottle and are in direct contact with a contained fluid;

the display displays an actual temperature of the contained fluid while the blades are moving;

the port is adapted to accept an external power source;

operating the first control initiates a first program in the controller that immediately activates the motor to rotate the blade for predetermined period of time;

operating the second control initiates a second program in the controller that activates the motor to rotate the blade and to heat the contained fluid until the thermometer detects a predetermined temperature.

2. The bottle mixer as described in claim 1 further characterized in that the battery is rechargeable.

3. The bottle mixer as described in claim 1 further characterized in that the port connects the controller to an external computing source;

the external computing source can amend a program in the controller.

4. The bottle mixer as described in claim 1 further characterized in that the external power source can recharge the battery and can provide sufficient power to operate the bottle mixer with or without the battery.

5. The bottle mixer as described in claim 1 further characterized in that the external power source can recharge the battery.

6. The bottle mixer as described in claim 1 further characterized in that a threaded adapter is provided that fits between the first thread and the second thread when the first thread and second thread are not directly compatible.
