7 This invention relates to a device for mixing materials for maxing plastic compositions, and more particularly to a device for mixing and delivering the material in one operation, and the object is to provide devices which will automatically mix the mait .tobe used and to provide a truck the material and horn, which tie mixer may be suspended when it is not desirable to operate the mixer and which truck may be rotated by one Wheel while the other Wheel stands fixed to its axle.

Gther objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description and: the invention. will be more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Fig. 2 is a vertical. section of the device from front to rear. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section of the same. Fig. i is a detailview of the combined handle and hasp. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the lock which is usedt'o look the mixer to the truck-Wheel tern orarily. Fig. h is an enlarged detail of the asp and handle, showing the manner of attaching the same to the mixer. Fig. 7 is a the manner of hinging the door of the mixer to the body Fig. 8 is sectional view, showing the manner of locking one Wheel to'the axle I for the pur ose of rotating the mixer Without moving its ocation.

Similar characters of refer to indicate the same parts throughout several views.

The improved mixer is provided. with a two wheeled truck having Wheels 1 and 2, an axle 3 and a bail or handle 4' by which the pulled. 'lhe mixer is provided with a sleeve 5 which extends-cen trally through the mixer and is attached to thefianged collars 17 and servest'o prevent ence are used the Specification of Letters Patent.

Normally the box 6 or mixer hangs loosely on the arlo 5. locking bar 8 is slidably nonnted on the iront oi the machine or mixer ior temporarily locking the mixer to one oi the Wheels. This locking bar is held on the mixer by keepers or loops 9, and is provided with a groove 16 iuthe end ior receiving a spoke of the wheel. The locking bar 8 may be further secured in place by a thumb bolt 10 which screws through the against the side of the box. The locking bar is located on the front of the mixer for the cor'ivenience of the operator. The lid 7 is hinged to the mixer at tli'erear upper part and extends-forward. The lid .is locked to the mixer by hasps 11 which are hinged to the lid and engage staples 12 inserted in the front side of the mixer. The liasps are pro- The object of these when the truck is brought the material-is to be used, release the hasps and. pull the lid forward. This will tilt the mixer and dump the material out. The locking bar 8 must first be released from'the Wheel. If it is not desirable to transportthe mixed material to a different location, one Wheel of the truck may be locked to the axle by a set screw 14. When the mixer is charged the truck may berotated, one Wheel rotating without turning While the other Wheel revolves. The mixer will thus .be revolved by one wheel While the other Wheel simply rotates Witl10ut turning on the axle.

As an agitating means, bars 15 may be at to the interior of the mixer. These bars will serve to mix or jumble the material as the mixer is revolved by the Wheel truck.

The'operation issimple. The proper ingredients are lacedin the mixer at-the supply source. ,he mixer is then closed andlocked to one of the truck WhQElS. By the time the material is transported in the provisions is that up to place where the operator may bar and presses Wheeled truck to'the place in which it is to he used, the material is thoroughl mixed. The material is discharged from t e mixture as above described. I
