Patent Images
1. A ridged blender jar for improving blending consistency and conformity, the blender jar comprising:
- a bottom wall configured to be positioned below a movable blending member, the movable member having an axis of rotation;
an internal sidewall surface comprising at least four planar side walls extending from the bottom wall and upward relative to the bottom wall, the bottom wall and internal sidewall surface forming a mixing area, the internal sidewall surface having an upper opening;
the internal sidewall surface further comprising a plurality of ridges extending inward from the internal sidewall surface, the plurality of ridges extending upward from the bottom wall and inward toward the mixing area of the jar, the plurality of ridges being positioned reflectively asymmetric relative to any vertical plane extending through the axis of rotation of the movable blending member.

Abstract
A blender jar with ridges has a bottom wall positioned below a movable blending member, a sidewall surface extending upward from the bottom wall, and a plurality of ridges extending inward from the sidewall surface. The ridges are positioned reflectively asymmetric relative to the mixing area in the jar. The ridges may improve blending consistency and uniformity, and may reduce blending time.
