Device and method for making beverage from flavor-containing materials comprises a body connected to a container for allowing the formation of a dispersion of flavor-containing materials in liquid and the extraction of the flavor-containing materials to produce a beverage, a porous filter connected
Device and method for making beverage from flavor-containing materials comprises a body connected to a container for allowing the formation of a dispersion of flavor-containing materials in liquid and the extraction of the flavor-containing materials to produce a beverage, a porous filter connected to the body and having a first surface for contacting the dispersion, filtration openings for allowing the beverage in the dispersion to pass through but blocking the flavor-containing materials and a second surface in communication with a beverage outlet from which the beverage may be poured or drunk, and a cling-on chamber on the body adapted to form a vacuum therein to suck to the interior surface of the container, thereby allowing the container to be tilted to generate a liquid head to drive the beverage out of the container through the filtration openings. The device may further include a blending/mixing mechanism to stir or break the flavor-containing materials and liquid for generating a visually appealing crema layer on the dispersion and/or facilitating the extraction of the flavor-containing materials by the liquid, and a flow facilitator having a selective opening for increasing the beverage flow through the filtration openings and preventing the flavor-containing materials in the dispersion from getting out of the container in the event that the dispersion covers the selective opening under a liquid head or force.

The wrench socket of claim 1, wherein the plurality of inner faces are angularly oriented with respect to one another so as to approximate at least portions of four sides of a hexagon.5. The wrench socket of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of curved channels each disposed between two adjacent inner faces, the curved channel disposed along a longitudinal line defined by the intersection of the adjacent inner faces.6. The wrench socket of claim 5, wherein the radius of each of the plurality of curved channels is a fraction of the longitudinal length of each of the inner faces.7. The wrench socket of claim 1, wherein the plurality of inner faces are coated with a non-metallic protective material.8. The wrench socket of claim 1, wherein the at least one central inner face comprises a plurality of adjacent central inner faces.9. The wrench socket of claim 1, further comprising:a torquing member, comprising the lug member matingly engagable with and disengagable from the cavity of the socket connection portion, whereby torque applied to the torquing member is transferred to the wrench portion via the connection between the lug member and the socket connection portion.10. The wrench socket of claim 9, wherein the torquing member is a torque type wrench.11. The wrench socket of claim 9, wherein the torquing member further comprises a handle for rotating the lug member.12. The wrench socket of claim 9, wherein the torquing member is a ratchet type wrench.13. The wrench socket of claim 1, wherein the mid portion comprises an area between the wrench portion and the socket connection portion that is adapted to receive nonrotatable parts.14. The wrench socket of claim 2, wherein the mid portion comprises an area between the wrench portion and the socket connection portion that is adapted to receive at least a portion of a coaxial cable.15. A wrench socket, comprising: a socket connection portion adapted to receive a lug member, the socket connection portion having a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis of the socket connection portion, the cavity adapted to matingly engage the lug member;a wrench portion having an open gripping region for matingly engaging the periphery of a connector, the open gripping region comprising:a plurality of inner faces that are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, the inner faces comprising:two nonadjacent inner faces, each disposed opposite the other; andat least one central inner face angularly oriented to, and disposed adjacently between, the two nonadjacent inner faces;wherein the longitudinal length of each of the nonadjacent inner faces tapers away from the least one central inner face; anda mid portion disposed contiguously and longitudinally between the socket connection portion and the wrench portion so as to connect the socket connection portion to the wrench portion, and to transfer rotational force from the lug member to the wrench portion.16. The wrench socket of claim 15, wherein the open gripping region is further for matingly engaging the periphery of a DIN-type connector.17. The wrench socket of claim 15, wherein the wrench portion further comprises an outer surface wherein a lateral distance between the each of the inner faces of the wrench portion and the outer surface facilitates insertion of the wrench portion into a confined space.18. The wrench socket of claim 15, wherein the plurality of inner faces are angularly oriented with respect to one another so as to approximate at least portions of four of the sides of a hexagon.19. The wrench socket of claim 15, further comprising a plurality of curved channels each disposed between two of the inner faces that are adjac ent to one another, the curved channel disposed along a longitudinal line defined by the intersection of the adjacent inner faces.20. The wrench socket of claim 19, wherein the radius of each of the plurality of curved channels is a fraction of the longitudinal length of each of the inner faces.21. The wrench socket of claim 15, wherein the plurality of inner faces are coated with a non-metallic protective material.22. The wrench socket of claim 15, wherein the at least one central inner face comprises a plurality of adjacent central inner faces.23. The wrench socket of claim 15, further comprising:a torquing member, comprising the lug member matingly engagable with and disengagable from the cavity of the socket connection portion, whereby torque applied to the torquing member is transferred to the wrench portion via the connection between the lug member and the socket connection portion.24. The wrench socket of claim 23, wherein the torquing member is a torque type wrench.25. The wrench socket of claim 23, wherein the torquing member further comprises a handle for rotating the lug member.26. The wrench socket of claim 23, wherein the torquing member is a ratchet type wrench.27. The wrench socket of claim 15, wherein the mid portion comprises an area between the wrench portion and the socket connection portion that is adapted to receive nonrotatable parts.28. The wrench socket of claim 16, wherein the mid portion comprises an area between the wrench portion and the socket connection portion that is adapted to receive at least a portion of a coaxial cable. to Virtual Environment Navigation, Siggraph: Computer Graphics Proceedings, Annual Conference Series, 1995, pp. 29-38.
