ABSTRACT:
A device that can be attached to a baby bottle to facilitate the mixing of solid food particles into liquid. The shaker top comprises a circular-dome shaped mixing chamber (12) with internal screwthreads (24) on the interior wall of said chamber that are proportioned and dimensioned to accommodate the attachement of the shaker top to a baby bottle. Support wedges (34) are formed above the internal screwthreads on the inside wall of said chamber to provide a means of internally retaining a mixing disc (10). Said mixing disc is comprised of a plurality of uniformly spaced arms (20) radiating from a center post (22) which acts as a handle to ease the insertion and removal of the disc member. The arms of the mixing disc are diamond shaped to produce a multitude of shear points (40) which increase the cutting action during the shaking process. This design discourages the sticking of wetted food particles in small crevices, avoids the unnecessary loss of milk solids and aides in the cleaning process, outer rim of the disc member (30) is dimensioned to snap-fit into the support wedges inside the mixing chamber. The mixing disc is positioned to accommodate the movement of the liquids and food particles from the baby bottle, through the disc member, into the mixing chamber and back into the bottle. This action will facilitate the rapid dispersion of the solids into the liquid from both sides of the mixing disc.
