Abstract
A fluid mixing accessory comprising a mixing receptacle integrally formed with a funnel. The accessory is formed of a flexible material which is light-weight and disposable.
The measuring receptacle is a graduated cone for measuring the components of a mixture, such as the color, the hardener and the reducer of a paint composition. The funnel has an opening, which, depending on the nature of the fluid being mixed, may include a gauze or mesh to act as a strainer. The funnel and the measuring receptacle are joined by a connecting portion. Thus, once the fluid has been mixed in the mixing receptacle, the accessory is inverted so that the mixture runs from the receptacle, across the connecting portion and into the funnel which is positioned over a container. After the funnel has emptied, the entire device then can be collapsed and discarded. The funnel is collapsible for convenient shipping and storage.

The present invention provides a convenient and accurate means for measuring the small amounts of such expensive components, thereby :reducing the otherwise unavoidable wastage.
With reference now to the drawings in general and to Figure 1 in particular, there is shown therein and designated by the reference numeral 10 a fluid mixing accessory in accordance with the present invention. The accessory 10 comprises a mixing receptacle 12.
Preferably, the receptacle 12 is conical in shape and comprises indicia 14 indicating volumetric amounts. In this way, the receptacle can serve as a measuring cup as well as a mixing receptacle. In the embodiment shown, the i.ndicia indicate ounces with lines representing an increment of one to several ounces. However, depending on the size of the accessory and the accuracy desired, the indicia 14 may V' ''2/11930 PCT/USgI/00200 20~9~~~
indicate ounces or milliliters or both, and may be in single units or in multiple units or a combination. When the fluid mixing accessory is to be used in connection with cooking, it may be desirable to include indicia indicating cups, half cups, quarter cups, and so forth.
The size and shape of the receptacle 12 may vary.
The conventional paint spray can holds about 32 ounces of paint. Thus, when employed to mix: automotive paints, the receptacle should be sized accordingly. The diameter of the upper portion 16 of the receptacle 12 is sized to rest in the mouth of the can or other container in which the fluid is to be placed, in a manner to be described. A portion of the mouth 18 of the receptacle defines a:n open upper edge 20.
With continuing reference to Figure 1, a funnel 22 is attached to the mixing receptacle 12 by a connecting portion 24. The funnel 22 preferably also is comically shaped, and a portion of the mouth 26 of the f_ unnel 22 defines an open upper edge 28. The upper portion 29 of the funnel 22 preferably is sized to rest in the mouth of the can or other container into which the fluid is to be placed, as will be described. The connecting portion 24 extends between the mouth 18 of the receptacle 12 and the mouth 26 of the funnel 22. Thus, the funnel 22 and the receptacle 12 are positioned so that the mouth 26 of the funnel 22 is generally opposed to the mouth 18 of the receptacle 12. Preferably, the mixing receptacle 12, the funnel 22 and the connecting portion 24 are integrally formed.
Turning now to Figure 2 , whe:rein the accessory 10 is inverted relative to the position in Figure l, the funnel 22 has an opening 30 at the bottom end. 32 for permitting the fluid to escape. The shape, size, and pasition of the opening may be varied, and in some instances a plurality of apenings may be employed, depending on the fluid to be funneled. As used herein, ~~fluid~~ denotes any flowable compasition, W- ~2/1i930 PCT/US9i/00200 including liquids and fine particulate matter.
In some instances, such as when metallic paint is being mixed, the opening 30 may be covered with a gauze screen 34 of some suitable material to act .as a strainer. The size of the pores in the strainer will be (:elected according to the type of paint or other fluid being strained.
A one-piece, pre-marked blank 36, from which the fluid mixing accessory 10 of the present invention may be formed, is shown in Figure 3, to which attention now is directed. The blank 36 preferably i.s formed of a flexible, light-weight non-absorbent or saturai~ion resistant material, such as 90-100 pound bleached kraft paper, which also is disposable. However, other materials such as translucent plastics may be utilized.
The point on the receptacle portion 38 of the blank 36 which forms the apex of the receptacle 12 is designated by the reference numeral 40. The receptacle portion 38 has an edge 42, which when bisected, forms a first half 44 and a second half 46, and which when folded onto itself, forms the receptacle portion 38 into the conical receptacle 12. A flap 48 extends from the first half 44 and part of the second half 46.
Broken lines 50 and 52 indicate crease lines along which the flap 48 is folded. ThEa crease 50 is folded outwardly, that is, below the plane of the blank 36. The crease 52 is folded inwardly, that is,, above the plane of the blank 36. The flap 48 then is brought around and positioned over the outside of the approximate border, designated generally at 54, of the receptacle poz-tion 38 by a glue which is insoluble in the fluid to be mixed therein. It will be understood that the flap 48 is posit»oned so that the first half 44 of the edge 42 meets precisely the second half 46. In this way, the lines of the indicia 14 will meet forming circles on the inside of the receptacles 12, as shown in Figure V! X2/11930 PCT/USgI/00200 ,~
