Abstract

An instant concrete system for including in one portable package all the necessary ingredients and corresponding mixing device for making concrete. The instant concrete system includes a premeasured amount of concrete mix in a container. Included in the container is a bag containing a premeasured amount of water. The inside of the container is shaped with curved projections. The container includes a removable handle that can be used to open the water bag. A lid securely fits to the container. The portable instant concrete system can be transported to a remote work site, the bag of water opened and emptied into the concrete mix. The lid replaced on the container and the container moved back and forth to mix the ingredients. The curved projections internal to the container assist in making a concrete of the correct proportions and consistency.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
         1 . An instant concrete system, comprising: 
 a container having an inner wall, an outer wall, an open top end and a sealed bottom end;    a concrete mix stored within said container;    a bag of water stored atop said concrete mix within said container; and    a covering lid affixable to said top end of said container.    
     
     
         2 . The instant concrete system of  claim 1 , wherein said container is tapered from the said top end to said bottom end.  
     
     
         3 . The instant concrete system of  claim 1 , wherein said container has an arcuate projection along said inner wall from said top end to said bottom end of said container.  
     
     
         4 . The instant concrete system of  claim 1 , wherein said container includes a pair of brackets affixed to said outer wall of said container.  
     
     
         5 . The instant concrete system of  claim 4 , including a handle which is insertable into said pair of brackets.  
     
     
         6 . The instant concrete system of  claim 1 , wherein said container is made of plastic.  
     
     
         7 . The instant concrete system of  claim 1 , wherein said covering lid is made of plastic.  
     
     
         8 . The instant concrete system of  claim 1 , wherein said bag is made of plastic.  
     
     
         9 . An instant concrete system, comprising: 
 a container having an inner wall, an outer wall, an open top end and a sealed bottom end;    a pair of brackets affixed to said outer wall of said container;    a handle which is insertable into said pair of brackets;    a plurality of arcuate projections along said inner wall from said top end to said bottom end of said container;    a concrete mix stored within said container;    a bag of water stored atop said concrete mix within said container; and    a covering lid affixable to said top end of said container.    
     
     
         10 . The instant concrete system of  claim 9 , wherein said container is tapered from the said top end to said bottom end.  
     
     
         11 . The instant concrete system of  claim 9 , wherein said container is made of plastic.  
     
     
         12 . The instant concrete system of  claim 9 , wherein said covering lid is made of plastic.  
     
     
         13 . The instant concrete system of  claim 9 , wherein said bag is made of plastic.  
     
     
         14 . A method of making concrete using a container having an inner wall, an outer wall, an open top end and a sealed bottom end; a pair of brackets affixed to said outer wall of said container; a handle which is insertable into said pair of brackets; a plurality of arcuate projections along said inner wall from said top end to said bottom end of said container; a concrete mix stored within said container; a bag of water stored atop said concrete mix within said container; and a covering lid affixable to said top end of said container, said method comprising the following steps: 
 (a) detaching said handle from said brackets;    (b) removing said lid from said container;    (c) puncturing said bag with said handle;    (d) pouring said water into said concrete mix;    (e) replacing said lid securely to said top end of said container; and    (f) moving said container so that said concrete mix and said water are thoroughly mixed together.
