Abstract:
1. A stirrer tool comprising: a head component including a body portion having a longitudinal axis, a first plurality of projections extending substantially radially out from an outer surface of the body portion and being substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body portion, and a second plurality of projections extending in a substantially distal direction away from a distal end of the body portion, the projections being made of a substantially stiff material that is flexible enough to be bent to fit through an opening in a container that is smaller in diameter than a diameter of the head component defined by outer ends of the first plurality of projections and stiff enough to mix viscous products, each projection being capable of being shortened by cutting off a selected length of the projection, the first plurality of projections configured to provide a vortex mixing action and the second plurality of projections configured to reach and stir up sediment on bottoms and in corners in containers; and an elongate shaft including a distal end and a proximal end, the elongate shaft being coaxially aligned with and the distal end of the elongate shaft being attached to the head component and the proximal end of the elongate shaft being configured to be removably held in a device to rotate the elongate shaft.
