5 provide a device of this character arranged so
that a very ei?cient beating action is obtained;
one which may be supported and manipulated by
either the right or left hand from different points
relative to the axis of the beater at the option
of the operator; one constructed so that it may
be easily kept in a clean and sanitary condition;
one which may be held in the hand or supported
from a wall at the option of the user; and one
of sturdy construction and mechanism so that
there is no tendency for any part to get out of
order.
either side so that the axis of the handle is then
in a vertical position as indicated in dotted lines.
This allows the beater to be held upright by the
hand when it is desired to have the hand in di?er
ent positions as the convenience of the operator
may justify. Also the handle may be removed
entirely for a purpose which will be seen later.

the axis of which is at right angles to the shaft 2
is normally disposed above the member I and
is mounted on a depending yoke ‘I. This yoke has

The shaft I3 for instance, which is designed to
engage the upper end of the ring I4, is provided
with opposed tangential grooves 20 the width or
thickness of the ring. The latter is drilled with
diametrically opposed holes of a size to snugly

said shaft so that it registers with the groove, it
is struck on opposite sides so that the ring ma 5-5)

caused to enter the grooves as shown at 2| in
Figure 3. The ring is then held against rotation
or axial movement on the shaft without the use
of solder or other additional securing means.

It will be noted that the outer beater ring it,
except at the top and bottom, is, concave in cross
section.
This tends to cause the ring when rotat
ing to throw the mix inwardly or toward the
smaller ring, resulting in a faster beating action.
