APPARATUS FOR lVllXlNG LIQUIDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters :Patent No. 579,055, dated March 16, 1897.. Application filed December 7, 1896. Serial No. 614,856. (No model.)
T0 all whom iv' may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED GATES, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented Improvements in Apparatus for Mixing Liquids, of which the following is a speciiication.
This invention relates to an apparatus for mixing oils or other liquids, and is especially designed for enabling two or more oils of different kinds to be mixed together in a barrel containing them, so as to save the time occupied by the emptying and refilling of the barrel hitherto usually necessary for this purpose.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 of the accompanying illustrative drawings show in vertical section, in partial plan, and incross-section, respectively, an apparatus embodying this invention applied to an ordinary oil-barrel; and Figs. 4t and 5 are detail views thereof drawn to a larger scale. Fig. G shows a section of a modiiied arrangement, while Fig. 7 is a sectional detail view thereof.
Reference will iirst be made to the example shown in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive.
To a tubular spindle 1, or, as shown, to lugs 2 thereon, are pivoted a number of vanes or blades 3, which may be of the same length or, as shown, of different lengths to suit the shape of the vessels in which the apparatus is to be used, and Whose heels 3 normally project through longitudinal slots 1 into the interior of the tubular spindle, the arrangement being such that when the parts are in this position the tubular spindle 1 can, with its vanes 3, be inserted into a barrel 6 through its bung-hole (5. lVhen thus located in the barrel, there is inserted into the tubular spindle 1 a rod 4, which is provided with a knob 9 and which by acting with its preferablyrounded end 10 on the heels 32L of the vanes 3 forces the vanes into the radial position shown in Figs. 1 and 3, in which it retains them until removed.
The spindle 1 may be supported in the barrel by a pointed lower end 5, resting on the stave diametrically opposite to the bung-hole 6. For rotating the spindle it may be provided at its upper end 7, which is preferably enlarged, as shown, with a bevel-wheel S,
adapted to engage in another bevel-Wheel13, iixed on an axle 12, provided with a handle 19 or other suitable rotating means.
The spindle end .'7 and the wheel 8 are preferably connected by a feather and groove, so as to enable the spindle 1 to move endwise to a limited extent to allow the end 5 to take a proper bearing in barrels varying somewhat in bilge diameter.
The axle 12 is mounted in a support 11, which may be secured on the barrel 6 by suitable means, such as chains or rods 15, having hooks 16, which may, when rods are used, be capable of being adjusted by means of thumbnuts 17, tting on screwed parts of the rods, and which are adapted to engage with the end iianges Gf of the barrel. The support may, however, be such as to rest on the floor. In the example shown the support 1l is made as a saddle-piece, provided with three screw-legs 14., so as to be capable of some adjustment, and a distance-piece 13 is provided for normally keeping the Wheel 13 in gear with the wheel S and for enabling, by its removal, the wheel 13 to be drawn back, so as to allow iirst the rod 4 and then the tubular spindle 1 with its vanes 3 to be withdrawn from the barrel for the purpose of taking samples or any other purpose.
In the example shown in Fig. 6, which is suitable for mixing liquids other than oils, such, for example, as wines, spirits, or the like, the tube 1 is provided with a tapered 'collar or ferrule 20, adapted to fit the bunghole and to thereby steady the upper end of. the spindle 1. The support for the axle of the wheel 13 is in this case formed by a tube 22, that iits on an extension 4. of the rod 4. and is formed at its upper end into a handle 23, adapted to be grasped by the operator, so as to prevent the tube 22 from rotating as the wheel 13 is turned. The axle 21 of the wheel 13 is non-rotary and is iixed by a nut 24 to the tube 22, (see Fig. 7,) and the handle 19 is attached directly to the wheel 13. In this example the apparatus is separable into three portions, viz: iirst, the tubular spindle l, vanes 3, pinion 8, and tapered collar or ferrule 20; second, the driving-wheel 13, its stud 21, and the holder 22, and, third, the rod 4..
What I claim is- IOO l. Apparatus for mixing liquids comprising a spindle,a number of vanes or blades adapted to assume positions parallel, or approximately parallel, to the axis of the said spindle and also outwardly-extending or radial positions for use, and means for moving` said blades or vanes from their said parallel or approximately parallel positions into their said outwardly-extending or radial positions.
2. Apparatus for mixingliquids comprising a tubular spindle,a number of vanes or blades pivotally connected to the said spindle so as to be capable of assuming positions parallel, or approximately parallel, to the axis of the said spindle and also outwardly-extending or radial positions, and a rod adapted to be inserted into the said spindle and, when being so inserted to come into Contact with the pivot ends or heels of the said vanes or blades and to move them from their said parallel or approximately parallel positions into their said outwardly-extendin g or radial positions.
3. Apparatusformixingliquidscomprising a spindle,a number of vanes or blades adapted to assume positions parallel,or approximately parallel, to the axis of the said spindle and also outwardly-extending or radial positions, means for moving,` the said vanes or blades from their said parallel, or approximately parallel, positions into their said outwardlyextending or radial positions, mechanism for rotating the said spindle, and means 'for supporting the said mechanism.
4. Apparatus for mixingliquids eomprisin g a tubular spindle, a number of vanes or blades pivotally connected to the said spindle so as to be capable of assuming positions parallel, or approximately parallel, to the axis of the said spindle and also outwardly-extending or radial positions, a rod adapted to be inserted into the said spindle and, when being so inserted to come into Contact with the pivot ends or heels of the said vanes or blades and to move them from their said parallel or approximately parallel positions into their said outwardly extending or radial positions, bevel-gear for rotating the said spindle, a support for the said bevel-gear, and means for securing the said support to a barrel or other vessel.
5. Apparatus tor mixingliquids comprising a tubular spindle, a number of vanes or blades pivotally connected to the said spindle so as to be capable of assuming positions parallel, or approximately parallel, to the axis of the said spindle and also outwardly-extending` or radial positions, a rod adapted to be inserted into the said spindle and, when being so inserted to come into Contact with the pivot ends or heels of the said vanes or blades and to move them from their said parallel or approximately parallel positions into their said outwardly extending or radial positions, bevel-gearfor rotating the said spindle, a support for the said bevel-gear, hooks connected to the said support and means for adjusting' the said hooks relatively to the said support for the purpose specified.
