I, SAMUEL GRIFFIN, Engineer, Kingston Iron Works, Bath, do hereby declaré
the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
My invention relates to improvements in machines for the emulsification of
liquids, fluids, oils, or other suitable ingredients.
According to my present invention 1 employ a recepticle, or vessel, of any
suitable shape advantageously cylindrical with its axis vertical.
In this recepticle, or vessel, a shaft or spindle, revolves, on which are mounted
any convenient number of thin blades following each other, each blade being
set at a suitable angle with the axis of the said shaft or spindle to form a
spiral.
These said blades (which are somewhat similar to those of an ordinary screw
propellor) are advantageously perforated with apertures of any suitable size or
shape, their angle in regard to the direction of their rotation. being such as to tend
continuously to carry the fluid to be emulsified from the top to the bottom of
the said receptiele or vessel in which it is contained. Any convenient method
of rotating the said shaft, or spindle, may be employed.
The action of the apparatus is as follows:-
Having placed the necessary fluid ingredients to form the desired emulsion,
or other compound, in the said recepticle or vessel, the said vertical shaft or
spindle, is rotated, the action of the said blades at once causing a circulation of
the said fluid ingredients which pass continually from top to bottom of the said
recepticle or vessel, rising again around the outer edge of the said recepticle or
vessel, at the same time a portion of the said liquid ingredients is forced through
the said apertures in the said blades, thus further intensifying the emulsifying
action.

I, SAMUEL GRIFFIN, Engineer, Kingston Iron Works, Bath, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in machines for the emulsification of

carried into practice, I will proceed to describe the drawings hereto annexed.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 shows a section of recepticle, or vessel, for containing the emulsifying
mixture, with driving gear and blades complete.
(A) is the recepticle or vessel, (B) bevil driving wheel. (C) pinion which
transmits motion from bevil driving wheel (B) to vertical spindle (D).
D³, D², D³, D4, D5, D6, angular perforated blades mounted on vertical spindle (D)
and revolving therewith.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is: —
1. In an emulsifying machine the combination of thin perforated angular
blades mounted on a vertical revolving spindle as described with reference to
Fig. 1 substantially as and for the purpose described.
