Ships Steward do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention is designed for the purpose of mixing effectually all mixtures for
domestic, cullinary and other similar purposes including moore particularly eggs
omelettes custards sauces, and all description of fancy drinks more especially those
known by the name of "cock tail" egg flip "Tom and Jerry brandy smash."

The motive power is transmitted by cogs or toothed wheels to a centre spindle on
which may be arranged, any discription of arm or arms the cover of the vessel carries
the wheel gearing which works horizontally above it and within the said vessel the
spindle revolves at a very rapid rate, through the multiplication of the toothed wheels.
The said vessel is made of glazed earthenware or other ware or wood; the cover
being made of similar material.
The vessel can be made of any size that may be required, and is made, to be used
for mixing any kind of ingredients. The gearing may be made of any suitable
material.
The purpose for which this whisk may be used are manifold and the invention is
adaptable to all purposes where the principal of mixing in a similar manner is
applicable. The whisk being enclosed in a vessel and under cover all splashes are
prevented, however rapidly the machine may be driven and which is one especial
feature in this invention.
All the parts may be separated for the purpose of cleaning.
The rapidity with which the filling, emptying and cleaning can be performed is also
a special feature of this machine whisk.
This machine on a large scale may be driven by other motive power than hand
power & if necessary the purchase can be increased and may be driven by pullies &
belt, and by increase in size made suitable for mixing ingredients in large quantities
such as required for the manufacture of cakes or other confectionery and for other
purposes.

An Improved Whisk or Mixing Machine.
CHARLES LOTINGA 43 Donald Street Cardiff late of 60 Salisbury Road, Cardiff
Ships Steward 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 :-
This invention is designed for the purpose of mixing effectually all mixtures for
domestic or culinary and other similar purposes, including more particularly eggs,
omelettes, custards and American fancy drinks such as cock tail, egg flip, brandy
smash etc. and to prevent any splashing during the operation of mixing and as the
gearing is practically encased & more conveneently placed on the top or cover of the
said whisk or mixing machine it is contended that it is very difficult for it to get out
of order or clogged or become entangled with any cloth or any other surroundings.
The motion is transmitted by turning the handle & by an inverted cog or toothed
wheel transmitting the motion to an intermediary cog wheel thence to a pinion
underneath which is a conical shaped cup fitting on to the head of a spindle shaped to
correspond with the cup. The cogs or toothed wheels work horizontally on the cover of

page_text: the vessel. The spindle revolves at a rapid rate through the multiplication of the
toothed wheels, the proportions of which may be varied if deemed necessary.
The said vessel is to be made of glazed earthenware or wood the cover being made
of similar material.
The purposes for which this whisk may be used are manifold and the invention is
. adaptable to all purposes, where the principal of mixing in a similar manner is
applicable. The whisk being enclosed in a vessel and under cover all splashes are
prevented, however rapidly the machine may be driven and which is one especial
feature in this invention, also the gearing being enclosed in the manner shown on
drawing and the mixing vessel & cover being of glazed earthenware or similar material
or wood made in the form shown.
All the parts may be separated for the purpose of cleaning.
The rapidity with which the filling emptying and cleaning can be performed is
another feature of this machine whisk.
This machine on a large scale may be driven by other motive power than hand
power & if necessary the purchase can be increased and may be driven by pulleys
and belt and by increase in size may be made suitable for mixing ingredients in large
quantities such as required for the manufacture of cakes or other confectionary and
for other purposes.
And in order that this invention may be thoroughly understood I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings.thereof, reference being had to letters and figures,
'marked thereon.
Figure 1 is a vertical section. A glazed earthenware vessel or other suitable
material B the rotator within-C the earthenware cover with horizontal gearing on
top D being the inverted cog or toothed spur wheel; E the teeth of same, F the
intermediary toothed wheel to transmit the motion to the pinion G, the intermediary
wheel being held down to the cover of the vessel by the bolt J, the gearing being
driven by the handle I. The pinion G having, attached to it, and underneath it, a
cup K with a square cone-shaped interior and round exterior to admit of its revolving,
the square acting like a box-spanner on the spindle L, the point of which drops into its
place as shown on drawing the bottom of the vessel being made to converge to
receive same; M is a screw provided to keep the pinion in its place, the said screw
being held by the carrier N bolted to the cover by two bolts O & O', shown in plan
on Figure 5.
Figure 2 is the rotator B with spindle L.
Figure 3 is a plan C showing the edge of the earthenware cover D is the top within
which is the inverted toothed spur wheel, I is the handle, M the screw referred to in
Figure 1, for holding the pinion etc. in its place.
Figure 4 is a side view of the cover.
Figure 5 is a horizontal section of cover showing the wheel gearing referred to in
description of Figure 1 and the carrier N bolted down by bolts O & O dotted line K
being the outside of the cup before referred to.
Figure 6 is a section of the cover the small toothed wheels being omitted.
Figure 7 plan of intermediary cog or toothed wheel.
Figure 8 section of carrier N, pinion G, cup K, bolts O & O¹ & screw M already
1. referred to.
Having now particularly described the nature and object of this invention
and the manner in which the same is to be performed I claim as new & novel
the following
First. That this whisk made with gearing in the manner described and shown on
drawing prevents splashing as in the case of open whisks or mixing machines as & for
purposes set forth.
Secondly. That being manufactured as described herein and shown on drawing it is
quickly emptied and refilled & the cover replaced as and for the purposes set forth.
Thirdly. That this whisk or mixing machine can be easily taken apart and replaced
as described herein and shown on drawings as and for the purposes set forth.

page_text: Fourthly. That the cog or toothed wheel being enclosed in the manner shown on
drawings and described herein it is less likely to get out of order or become entangled
with any cloth or surroundings as substantially set forth.
