Abstract:
1. A stirring device mounted on a drinking vessel for stirring the liquid content therein comprising: a) a tab formed from a rigid piece of material, and said tab wherein its length extends outside said drinking vessel, and said tab has a form so that a thumb finger of the same hand holding said vessel can reach conveniently and operate comfortably, and said tab has fixed pivot, so that when tab is operated by said finger, the tab moves in a definite and consistent lever action with respect to said pivot; b) a paddle formed from a rigid piece of material, and said paddle is coupled to said tab, and said paddle wherein its length is predisposed approximately perpendicular with respect to the liquid level in said vessel, and said paddle wherein it is submerged in the liquid content of said vessel, and said paddle wherein its overall length does not touch the bottom surface of said vessel, and said paddle swings forward in arc linear travel when said tab is depressed by a finger, and said paddle wherein its end, opposite to that which is coupled to said tab, has a planar shape predisposed at approximately right angle to its arc linear travel, and said paddle planar shape has a curvature that fits in the contour of the inner wall of said vessel so that said inner wall and paddle planar shape coincide with each other when said paddle is at approximately vertical position; c) a spring as a means for urging the paddle to return to its approximate vertical position with respect to the liquid d) and a pair pivots of as means for fixed and consistent lever movement.
