Next, the operation of the shaker 10 having the above configuration will be explained. In recent years, opportunities to drink protein have increased due to the muscle training boom, health boom, diet boom, etc.

Protein needs to be dissolved in a liquid such as water or milk to drink it, and if you dissolve it in a cup or drink it, you need to mix it with a spoon or stirrer, but there are problems such as undissolved residue, so a shaker is not often used. is increasing.

However, in conventional shakers, a screw groove for screwing together the container body and the lid is formed at the upper end of the container body, so when the mouth is attached to the container body to drink protein, The groove touches my mouth and I feel uncomfortable. With respect to such problems, the shaker 10 of the embodiment according to the present invention exhibits a remarkable effect.

Generally, one serving of protein consists of 20-30g of protein dissolved in about 200ml of water. The amount of this protein is 2 to 3 tablespoons using a special spoon, but it may be difficult to mix it with a spoon without leaving any residue.

However, if you use the shaker 10, you can close the lid 14 on the container body 12 and shake it up and down to dissolve the protein, as shown in FIG. It can be dissolved more quickly than mixing.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the lid 14 is removed from the container body 12, and the user can drink the protein by placing his or her mouth on the upper end of the container body 12. At this time, since the screw portion 12d is not formed at the upper end of the container body 12, the user can drink without feeling uncomfortable.

In addition, powder residue may remain after dissolving powdered protein using the shaker 10, but the top and bottom sides of the shaker 10 are rounded as shown in Figure 2(a). Because of its shape, it can be cleaned using a sponge moistened with detergent, and has the remarkable effect of being easy to maintain.
