Abstract:
1. A mixing rod comprising: an elongated rigid shaft having an attachment end and a mixing end integrally joined together by a midsection; said mixing end includes a linear angular segment bent outwardly from said shaft to project laterally from said shaft; said mixing end further having a linear terminating segment integrally connected with said angular segment and bent inwardly under said angular segment in fixed, spaced-apart relationship to said angular segment and further projects past said shaft to terminate in an end segment; said end segment being integral with said terminating segment and incorporating a reverse curve to project inwardly towards said angular segment in fixed, spaced-apart relationship therewith; said shaft, said angular segment, said terminating segment and said end segment constitute a single piece construction with said segments being bent or folded over to provide a substantially triangle configuration in side elevational view; said attachment end of said shaft is integral therewith and defines a geometric shape including a square or a hexagon; rounded connection portions joining said angular segment with said terminating segment and joining said terminating segment with said end segment; a can having a circular top edge leading into an interior of said can for insertably receiving said mixing shaft; an elongated member having a series of spaced-apart slots with a pair of spaced-apart end slots for receiving said top edge; and a central passageway midway between said pair of end slots for rotatably carrying said shaft.
