l eHARns ANDRnws, sra., ory Rockman, ILLrNois, "A ssrefNon.v 'rom-iin iirAsHiUnNy COMPANY, or WORCESTER, rvrAssAci-rnsamrsA conroaATIoN orf MASSACHUSETTS p BEATER f Application filed March 9, 1928K.` Serial .No. 260,317.'r

'This invention relates to devices for aerating eggs, cream, batter and other materials.

Devices of this type have been used heretofore but they have usually been provided Witha single. rotary member orag'itating the material or a pair of oppositely rotatable similar members. n'the later case the membersy didl not cooperate so that one supplemented theY other whereby the `rst delivered` the material to the second and the second beat the air into the material.

It is accordingly the primary object ofy this invention to provide a beater of the above type having two rotatable members,

one of which delivers the material to the dasher for-receiving'the material andl cooperating with the agitator for aerating such material.

Other and further objectsrof this invention will be apparent as the same becomes better y uiiderstoodfrom an examination ot' the specirLio ication and claims in connection with theaccompanying drawings, wherein:

embodying this. invention.

Fig. 2 is a section taken at the line 2-2 oi"V Fig.

Fig. 3 is a section taken at the line 3 3 of Fig.-2.

Fig. .4 is a bottom plan view'ot the beater.

Referring to the drawings more particularly, numeral 5 represents a frame formed by striking a flat sheet of metal to provide an upper cylindrical section' and a lower boX- like section 7 in alignment therewith.A One of theflongitudinal sides or" section 7 is left open. The upper and lowersides are formed with lugs Sand 9 respectively struck from the plate of which the trame is formed. rlhe y driving wheel ll is mounted on' a pin 12 journaled centrally in the frame` section `7 Thewheel 11 is provided with circumferential apertures 13 for driving spur gears connected Vto the'respectivc 'operating parts as will be hereinafterv explained. A suitable handle 14 isprovided on a peripheral extension 15 of the wheel samefrfiz'm. di,

A handle 16 is fitted in the upper endot the section k6 of the frame 5 formanually` supporting the .beater with one lie'indwhile 11 y'torInianu'ally operating the" rotating the wheel 11' by means of the handle 141-with the other hand. n l

A strip 17 lis'bent intermediate of itsends totorm a bight18 and Saidends'are secured by lspot-welding` orother suitable' means to thev inner side of the longitudinal walls 19 ofthe ramevsection 7 whereby said `strip acts asan extension of the frame. A spindle 21 is journaled in the lugs'8 and 9: and yalso in the strip 17 atthe end ofthe bight`18. A spur gear 22 is rigidly securedat the' upperend of the spindle 21 above'the lug 8 and is adapted to meshfin'theapertures 13v of the* drivingwheel 11 whereby thespindlemay be ldriven as said wheel is-rotated.` Acupy shaped agitator 23 is mounted on the'lowerl end ofrthe-spindlef2l `withinthe bight` 18 with its open-.end upward and is adapted y' 802 to-rest onfthe strip. 17 at the end of saidV bight [to take upv the downward thrust.` The agitato`r23 is of=slieet-metal .and is provided y 1 Withfdownwardly struckv angula-rly 'spaced- Fig. 1 is an elevational view of a beater blades 24: which, 'although they extend radially on'the agitator, are designedvto direct material "upwardly and axiallyther'eof. f

Abovev the agitator 23 there is mounted a n are in the planeof rotation sov that the narspaced blades, thebroad'surfaces of which A1GO row edge actsto cut the material delivered upwardly by the agitator 23. These blades extend into the upper or open end of the agitator in close proximity to the blades thereof whereby said agitator may more efficiently cooperate with the dasher.

By means of the foregoing arrangement providing for cooperation between the agitator 23 and dasher 27, a great. eficiency is obtained in aeraeting eggs, cream, batter and other materials much less time being necessary without any greater effort on the part of theV operator than obtained in the use of former beaters.

It will'also be apparent that the afore-k described beater is simple and economical of manufacture andconvenient of operation. The operation of the beater and other advantages thereof will be apparent without further description.

QI am aware that many details may be varied without departing from the principles of this invention and I therefore do not wish to be limited to the details described.

I claim: Y l; In a deviceof` the class described, a frame, a rotatable member carried thereby and having means thereon for directing the material to be beaten in an axial direction and a second rotatable member carried by said frame andbeing provided with blades having their broad faces substantially in the plane of rotation, said second member being arranged to revolve in close proximity tov said first rotatable member to receive the material .delivered by said rst mentioned rotatable member and disperse the materialv 'laterally to aerate the same.

i 2. Ina device ofthe class described', the combination of a frame, -a cup-shaped agitator rotatably carried thereby', said agitator having means thereony to direct a fluid .axi-

` ally thereof and a dasher rotatably carried by the frame and extending into the open end of said agitator, said ldasher having portions thereof arranged to receive the iuid from said agitator and direct the iuid toward said-agitator to aerate the vfluid.

In witness of the foregoing I aflix my signature.
