PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Egg-beaters.
I JOHN GUY WILSON of the British and Foreign Patent Office, 55 Market Street,
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Mechanical Engineer and Patent Agent, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention, which has been communicated to me from
abroad by George Henry Paine of the City and County of Philadelphia and State of
Pennsylvania, United States of America Manufacturer, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel arrangement of mechanism constituting an efficient
egg beater and consists in taking a length of wire in the form of a volute or spiral
cone and attaching the outer end thereof to a suitable stationary support and the
inner or central end to any suitable mechanism whereby the same may be worked up
and down or reciprocated and thus afford the requisite vibration or beating action.
In performing the invention I connect the inner end of the volute to a crank pin
to which I impart a rapidly revolving motion by means of a quick-threaded screw or
spirally twisted wire mounted in a suitable frame and which in turn is revolved by a
reciprocating motion after the manner of an Archimedean drill or I arrange the crank
pin upon a spur pinion into which gears a large spur wheel actuated by a winch
handle all the parts being supported upon a common central stem.
It will be readily apparent that if the wire volute so mounted be placed in a vessel
containing eggs and be actuated and vibrated as aforesaid that the eggs will, by the
cutting action of the volute, be cut up and beaten with great rapidity and that thus
an efficient egg beater will be produced.

I JOHN GUY WILSON of the British and Foreign Patent Office, 55 Market Street,
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Mechanical Engineer and Patent Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, which invention has been communi-
cated to me from abroad by George Henry Paine of the City and County of
Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania United States of America, Manufacturer,
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a novel arrangement of mechanism constituting an
efficient egg beater and consists in taking a length of wire in the form of a volute
or spiral cone and attaching the outer end thereof to a suitable stationary support
and the inner or central end to suitable mechanism whereby the same may be
worked up and down or reciprocated and thus afford the requisite vibration or beating
action.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1. is a front view of the improved egg beater
and Fig. 2. is a sectional plan view of the wire volute alone taken across the line a-b.
in Fig. 1.
In performing my invention I employ a double wire volute a. one end of which is
affixed to the extremity b. of the metallic support or frame c.
The other extremity d.
of the same wire volute is connected to the crank pin e. arranged at the extremity of
the quick threaded screw or spirally twisted wire f. and mounted as illustrated, in the
frame c.
g. is a reciprocating nut which is simply moved to and fro along the screw
or twisted wire. without revolving upon its axis after the manner of an Archimedean
drill and thus imparts the requisite rapidly revolving motion to such spiral wire f.
and to the crank pin e. and in turn the up and down or vibrating motion to the
volute a.
It will be readily apparent that if the wire volute a. so mounted be placed in a
vessel containing eggs and be vibrated by moving the nut g. to and fro along the spiral
screw f. as aforesaid, the eggs will by the cutting action of the volute be cut up and
beaten with great rapidity and that thus an efficient egg beater will be produced.
In my Provisional Specification I mentioned an alternative method of arranging
the crank pin in conjunction with spur gearing actuated by a winch handle and all
supported upon a common central stem but I now desire to disclaim the same.
I wish it further to be understood that I do not confine myself to the form of
frame e nor to the position of the handle upon the same, illustrated on the accom-
panying drawing, as the same may be varied without departing from the said
invention.

page_text: Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
:-
1st. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting an improved Egg
beater substantially as herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying
drawing.
2nd. In the construction of an egg beater the employment of a wire volute in
conjunction with a crank and Archimedean screw and nut mounted and operated
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying
drawing.
