Abstract:
The purpose of stirring a can of paint or fluids before their use is to lift to the surface heavier paint matter that fall out of the solution and tend to settle to the bottom of the container. Manual paint mixing, blending and stirring paddles are flat and not mechanically designed to lift or push to the top of the container all the heavier paint/fluid matter settled to the bottom of the container. This invention is a device designed to lift or push up the heavier paint/fluid matter from the bottom to the surface while using a stirring or to-and-fro reciprocal motion. This manual device could be motorized to turn it at appropriate speeds in larger paint or fluid containers. One embodiment of this device can be attached or clipped to the foot of the common flat paint-stirring or blending paddle to transform it into a more effective paint mixing and blending tool.

Claim (Index 1):
A superior stirring or blending device for stirring or blending fluids and paints to effectively lift or elevate to the surface any and all pigments and heavier components of the fluid/paint that may fall out of colloidal suspension and tend to settle to the bottom of containers, comprising:\n a. an elongated flat portion with a upper end and a lower end; b. the upper end of the elongated portion shaped to serve as a firm one-handed grip to use the said elongated portion as a stirrer; c. the elongated portion below the grip twisted from the bottom end of the elongated to the grip to produce a twisted stirrer; d. the twisted lower end of the stirrer may be inserted vertically into the paint/fluid can that need stirring; e. While stirring or blending the paint/fluid, the lower twisted end of the paddle, because of its twisted shape, pushes upwards as well as sideways the settled pigments and heavier substance from the bottom of the container.
