Abstract:
A beverage container for a blender includes one or more vibrating mechanisms coupled to a bottom portion of the beverage container or integrated within one or more walls of the beverage container. After a beverage has been blended, the one or more vibrating mechanisms are activated as the beverage is being poured. Vibrations from the one or more vibrating mechanisms are mechanically transmitted to the beverage container, thereby promoting the pourability of the beverage from the beverage container, including dislodging ingredients in the beverage that became lodged or trapped in crevices of the beverage container during the prior blending process, and freeing up beverage ingredients that accumulated at the bottom of the beverage container during the prior blending process.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for compelling a thick, viscous blended smoothie to pour from a blending pitcher, comprising:\n a blending pitcher accessory adapted to attach to a blending pitcher and configured to dock and undock the blending pitcher to and from a blender docking station, said blending pitcher accessory configured to remain attached to the blending pitcher both when the blending pitcher is docked to the blender docking station and when the blending pitcher is undocked from the blender docking station; an aperture formed through the blending pitcher accessory and through which a blender motor in the blender docking station accesses a cutting blade in the blending pitcher when the blending pitcher accessory is docking the blending pitcher to the blender docking station and a thick, viscous smoothie is being prepared; and a vibrating mechanism attached to or housed within the blending pitcher accessory configured to aggressively shake and vibrate the blending pitcher accessory and the blending pitcher when the blending pitcher accessory and blending pitcher are undocked from the blender docking station and a human pourer is dispensing a thick, viscous blended smoothie from the blending pitcher, wherein the vibrating mechanism has a physical constitution and vibrational capacity sufficient to generate and mechanically transmit vibrations to the blending pitcher accessory and the blending pitcher that are of a magnitude necessary to dislodge and extricate accumulations of the thick, viscous blended smoothie from a bottom of the blending pitcher and compel the thick, viscous blended smoothie to pour from the blending pitcher.
