F. CHODAK. BEVERAGE MIXING DEVICE. APPLICATION FILED APR.4, 1919.

ATTORNEY FRANK oHonAK, OF NEW YORK,

UNITED STATES OFFICE.

N. Y.,.ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF T6 MAX ROSENFIELD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BEVERAGE-MIXING DEVICE.

To all whom z't may concern:

Be it known'that I, FRANK CHonAK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York city, Bronx county, State of NewYork, have invented certain new an useful Improvements in Beverage-Mixing Devices, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to beverage mixing devices, and is more particularly directed toward an improvement in the motor or operating means for the spindle and mixing e lement carried thereby. The mixing dev ce for which my improvement is intended is of the class used to mix such beverages as malted milk, egg-phosphate, etc., but may be employed as a motor mechanism for any mixing apparatus requiring but little power.

One of the objects of my invention is to obviate the necessity of the motors to operate the mixer, and to this end I have designed a turbine-motor mixin device that may be operated by water' rom street mains, for instance, by being con: nected to an adjacent water faucet.

I will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the novel features ofwhich member 7 is carried by a member 7 and carries in from the, left in Fi the section being taken onfla line 3-3 in 19 to the I will point out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part hereof, whereinz-f Figure 1 1s a side elevation of an embodiment of my invention, artly in section;

Fig. 2 is a partial en yiew thereof, lookig. 3 is an enlarger? se'otionalplan view,

Fig 1, and

' ig. 4 is an enlarged detail sectional view of a form of controlling valve for the motor.

As herein embodied, my improvement comprises a standard 5 consistin of the telescoping members 6' and 7. T e standard base 8 which also carries a retainer 9 for a glass 10 in which the beverages are mixed. The standard member 6 is movable longitudinally of the a motor mechanism 11 consisting of a casing 12 which houses a turbine wheel 13. The turbine (in this instance) consists of a drum member 14 hav ng peripheral buckets 15, thedrum 14 bem supported by a spindle 16 rotata'bly mount in bearing-members 17 and 18 carried by the casing 12. The spindle '16 carries a rod lower endpfwhich is mixing or '12 is carried by 21 is provided with use of electricparatus can attached a Specification 01 Letters Patent. t t 1 191 Application filed April 4, 1 19. seriaiiwo. 287,453;

20. The casing a bracket 21 secured to the movable standard member 6. The bracket stirring element 21 also carries a valve casing'22 carrying a slidable valve 23 having an opening or port 24 therethrough (see 'Fig. 4).- The bracket a duct 25 which is located at a right angle (in this instance) -to the guideway 26 for the valve 23. The duct 25 is disposed tangentially to the periphery of the drum 14: andjin alinement with the buckets 15.. To convey water to the turbine through the duct 25, I provide a flexible pipe or hose 27, one end of which is connected to a nipple 28 in duct 25, the other end being connected to a source of water supply. (not shown).

The valve 23 carries a dependin stem 29 surrounded by a spring 30 whic acts to maintain the port 2 in said valve and duct 25 normally out of alinement, which shuts out the power. To turn the power on, valve 23 will be moved upwardly after he described. To allow water to escape from the casing 12, I provide an outlet duct 31 which extends into the movable standard member 6. Water from the casing 12 will flow through duct 31 into the standard 5, thence out through a waste pipe'32 to a sink' or other receptacle. 1 i

The beverages to be mixed will be placed in lass 10, after which the standard member wifi be depressed'by forcing same down by pressing upon handle 33. When the standard member Ghas been forced 'nearly to its lowermost position the valve-stem 29 will contact with a late 34 which extends from standard menr er '7. Further downward movement of standard member 6 will result in positioning the mixer 20 adjacent the 7 bottom of the glass IQ and also cause port- 241-,

as will hereinin valve 23, to aline with duct 25; hence water will flow through said duct and 0 werate the turbine to rotate the mixer 20. he mixer will be allowed to remain in the depressed position as long as desirable. When the standard member 6 is raised, the spring 30 will close thevalve 23, thereby shutting off the power'and the motor will stop. has been explained, the waste water will flow out through duct 31. My improved a I be used wherever water .is obtainabl, it being of course understoodthat. the water ,will be under pressure,

say, so-calle'd house pressure. In rural disthat is to claim 1s:

tricts and in places where electricity is not available, my improved hydro-motor, mixer will be found far superior to the ordinary manual shaking operation.

To hold the movable standard member in raised and depressed positions, latches 35 may bensed, each of which consists of a pin 36 carried by a yieldable resilient plate 37. Each pin 37 will engage the same opening 38 in the movable member 6. To facilitate the raising of the member 6 and motor, a spring 39 may be used.

, Having described my invention, what I 1. In a beverage mixer, a movable support, a hydraulic motor carried thereby, a mixing device operated by the motor, and means dependent upon the movement of the support to control the operation of the.

motor.

2. In a beverage mixer, a hollow movable support, a hydraulic motor carried by the support, a duct for water connected with motor, a valve in said duct, means dependent upon the movement of the support to operate the valve, a mixing device operated by the motor, and a duct connecting the motor and hollow support for the escape of waste water from the motor.

a beverage mixer, a movable sup port, a hydraulic motor adjacent thereto, a mixing device operated by the motor, a valve to control the operation of the motor, means to open the valve when the support is moved in one direction, and a spring to close the valve when the support is moved-in the opposite direction.

4. In abeverage mixer, a movable supthe when the support is'moved in the port, a hydraulic motor carried thereby, a

to control the operation of the motor also carried by the movable support, a fixed element arranged to open the valve after said support has been moved a predetermined distance, and a sprin to close the valve when the movement of t e support is reversed.

a beverage mixer, a fixed standard member, a movable standard member slidably engaging the fixed member, a hydraulic motor carried by the movable member, a mixing device carried by and operated bythe motor, a duct for the passage of water to "said motor, a slidable valve in said duct to control the flow of water therethrough, means carried by the fixed standard member tocause said valve to open when the slidable standard is moved a predetermined distance, and a spring to close the valve when the direction of movement of the movable standard is reversed.

6. In a beverage mixer, a movable support, a hydraulic motor carried thereby, a mixing device carried by the motor, a flexible duct for the introduction of Water into said motor, a valve in said duct, means to open the valve when said support is moved in one direction, and means to close the valve opposite direction.
