BEATING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 617,093, dated January 8, 1899.

Application filed February 1,1898. Serial No. 668,767. (No model.)

T all whom, it may concern.:

Be it known that I, REBECCA A. GIPPLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oreston, in the county of Union and State of Iowa,

have invented a new and useful Beating Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to beating or agitating apparatus adapted for use as an egg-beater,

ro batter-mixer, churn, and ice-cream freezer or for any analogous purpose contemplating the rapid and complete beating or agitation of the contents of a receptacle; and the object in view is to provide a simple, compact, and

efficient construction andY arrangement of parts suitable for accomplishing the desired purpose without allowing the leakage or splashing of the contents of the receptacle or the influx of surrounding liquids, such as salt zo water, when the receptacle is arranged in the tub or ice-holder of a freezer.

Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a beater constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same, taken parallel with the axis of the dasher or agitator. Fig. 3 is a partial sectional View taken in a plane transverse to the axis of the dasher or agitator. Fig. l is a view of the beater arranged in an 3 5 ice-holder as seen when adapted for use as a freezer.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

The receptacle of the beater embodying my invention consists of a hemispherical pan l, having a suitable base 2, and a hemispherical top or cover 3, provided with a suitable handle L1. The top or cover is provided with an inner rim or flange 5 to iit within the upper edge of the pan, and the meeting edges of the pan and cover are provided with registering half-bearin gs, in which is mounted the dasher or agitator spindle 6, provided in contact with 5o the inner surface of the receptacle with disks 7, which are covered at their upper sides by hoods S, carried by the cover, said hoods having half-bearings to lit snugly upon the upper side of the spindle 6, inclining or bulging inwardly from the inner surface of the cover and extending below the center of the spin'- dle to convey liquid to a point below the spindle, and hence prevent it from finding an outlet through the spindle-bearings. Mounted upon the lid or cover is a driving or master 6o gear 9, having an operating crank or handle l0, and fixed to the contiguous extremity of the dasher-spindle is a pinion 11, with which said master-gear meshes. In order to prevent liquids on the exterior surface of the receptacle from gaining access to the interior thereof,

an exterior hood 12 is provided on the cover contiguous Vto the pinion-provided end of the spindle to fit over the upper side of the spindle, said hood being of a construction analo- 7o gous to that of the hoods or shields 8, which are located interiorly of the receptacle.

The dasher or agitator consists of a plurality of ring-blades 13, extending through or otherwise efficiently secured to the spindle 6, and diametrical elliptical loops 14 and 15, spanning the space encircled by the main exterior loops or rings y15. In the construction illustrated the loops 14 are arranged with their inner or contiguous sides adjacent to 8o the center of the spindle 6, while their outer sides are spaced from the contiguous portions of the ring l3,which is diametrically spanned by said loops 14, and the elliptical loop 15 is arranged in the plane of the other exterior ring 13, with its extremities attached to said ring and the centers of its sides firmly attached to the spindle. This construction of dasher provides for whipping and efciently agitating the contents of the receptacle not only 9o by reason of the peculiar arrangement of the rings and loops thereof, but also because the exterior rings operate close to the inner surface of the receptacle, which, as above set forth, is spherical. In order to prevent the escape of the contents of the receptacle through the joint between the cover and the. pan at the upwardly moving side of the dasher, I provide a crescent-shaped deiiector 16, fixed to the inner surface of the pan, taroo pered toward its lower edge and adapted to be traversed at its inner surface by the said exterior rings of the dasher. This deflector extends at its center above the joint between the members of the receptacle.

In Fig. 4 I have shown the apparatus arranged in a bucket or ice-holder 1'7, having slots 1S and 19, respectively, for the reception of the shaft of the driving-gear 9 and the spindle 6, the iianged cover 2O of said bucket or holder being adapted to bear upon the handle 4 o n the lid or cover of the receptacle 1 and being in turn held in place by a cross-bar 21, which is engaged with eyes 22 on the wall of the holder. It is obvious that ice or other freezing agent maybe packed in the holder not only at the sides and bottom of the receptacle, but covering the top thereof, and asuitable outlet 23 for salt water or other liquid is provided to prevent the rising of the surface thereof above the plane of the upper edge of the pan.

From the above description it will be seen that an apparatus constructed in accordance with my invention is adapted not only for beating eggs and similar materials and also for beating or mixing batter, but also for churning and for agitating the contents of a receptacle during the freezing operation, and the peculiar construction of the mechanism is such as to adapt it for accomplishing the desired heating or mixing with the minimum exertion upon the part of the operator and with a small expenditure of time.

In order to prevent lateral movement of the receptacle in the ice pail or holder, I employ springs 24 or their equivalents, attached to the wall of the pail and terminally bearing against the exterior surface of the disk or lower member of the receptacle, as shown in Fig. 4.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A beating apparatus having a spherical receptacle of sectional construction, a dasher of circularcontour having its spindle mounted horizontally in suitable bearings in the Walls of the receptacle, operating devices for the dasher-spindle, and an interior deiiector 1G, crescent-shaped in plan, arranged in contact with the wall of the lower section of the receptacle at the upwardly-moving side of the dasher, and extending upward to overlap lthe joint between the sections to form a breakjoint, said deiiector being tapered in vertical cross-section toward its lower edge, substantially as specified.

7 and hoods 8 carried by the upper section of the receptacle, overhanging and inclosing the disks, and extending downward approximately to the lower sides of the disks and below the dasher-spindle, to convey drippings inward from the joints between the sections and carry the same downward beyond the spindle, substantially as specified.

3. A beating apparatus having a spherical receptacle comprising upper and lower sections provided at their horizontal meeting edges with registering half-bearings, a dasher having its spindle mounted in said half-bearings and provided contiguous to the innersurface of the receptacle with disks 7 overlapping the joint between the sections, one end of said spindle terminating short of the outer surface of the receptacle and the other end extending therethrough, inner hoods 8 carried by the upper section of the receptacle, overhanging and inclosing the disks on the dasher-spindle and depending to points near the lower sides thereof, an exterior hood 12 also carried by the upper section of the receptacle and extending downwardly and outwardly to embrace the upper side of the projecting portion of the dasher-spindle exteriorly of the receptacle, and depending below the lower side thereof, and exterior means for operating the dasher-spindle, substantially as specified.

4. The combination of an interiorly-spherical receptacle having an inclosed dasher provided with a spindle extending exteriorly of the receptacle, and a master-gear meshing with a pinion on the spindle of the dasher, with a holder inclosing said receptacle and provided in its side wall with slots extending downwardly from its upper edge for the reception, respectively, of the master-gearshaft and dasher-spindle, a flanged cover closing the top of the holder and bearing upon the top of the receptacle, anda transverse securing-rod fitted in diametrically opposite eyes on the holder to span and maintain the cover thereof in place, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in thepresence of two witnesses.

REBECCA A. GIPPLE. Yitnesses:
