Improvements in Egg Beaters.
We, AARON JASON SALTSMAN and EUGENE ELWIN HOWE, both residing at
Albany, in the County of Albany, and State of New York, United States of
America, Manufacturers 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 :-
In the drawings hereunto annexed; Fig. 1 represents an egg-beater embodying
the peculiar features of our invention; with parts of the cylinder thereof broken
away for exposing the interior parts, and illustrating the egg-beater within a bowl
which is shown in section Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the same taken at
line 1 in Fig. 1.
In the drawings A represents a cylinder made of any suitable material, and pre-
ferably of sheet metal such as sheet tin. This cylinder, for ordinary family use, is
made with a length of about seven inches and with a diameter of about two inches,
more or less, as may be required for capacity and good operations.
'
This cylinder A is made with both its ends open and corresponding with the
inside diameter of the same. The lower end portion of the wall of said cylinder
is provided with two or more annular rows of perforations a a, the lowest row of
which is made near to the lower end edge of the said cylinder. The perfora-
tions a a of these several annular rows A' may be made in the body of the sheet of
metal forming the whole cylinder, or be made in a sectional piece thereof and
secured to the solid wall portion or section, as shown in Fig. 1. The portion b of
the wall of this cylinder above the upper row of perforations a a is made solid
throughout.
C is a duplex dasher composed of two concavo-convex dash disks C¹ C² secured
to the lower end of the shaft C and at a short distance apart on said shaft. These
disks are arranged with their convex sides toward each other, as shown in Fig. 1,
and at such a distance apart that when the lower edge of the lower dash disk C is
at the lower open end edge of the cylinder, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1,
the edge of the upper dash disk C₁ will be on a plane a little above the uppermost
row of perforations a a as indicated by dotted lines in the same fig. The upper
end of the shaft C³ is provided with a suitable handle C, which handle projects
above the upper open end of the said cylinder when the said duplex dasher is at the
lower open end of the cylinder.
D is a vessel made with any suitable form for serving as a receptical for holding
the substance to be beaten or whipped or mixed together, yet for family use an
ordinary earthenware bowl will serve the purpose of such receptical.
When it is desired to operate this egg-beater, the material or substance, to be
operated with, is introduced into the vessel D, after which the lower open end of
the cylinder A will be placed on the bottom of said vessel D, and about central in
the same, with the duplex dasher at the lower end of the cylinder and the lowest
dash disk on the bottom of the vessel D, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
These dash disks C₁C, forming the duplex dasher, are shown to be perforated with
small holes cc, which holes serve as passage ways through which the substances
operated with may freely pass when the said duplex dasher is operated in a recipro-
cating motion. When the egg or eggs, cream, or other substances to be operated
with are introduced into the vessel D, and the lower open end of the cylinder is
placed on the bottom of said vessel, the operator will, while holding the upper end
of cylinder A by one hand, operate the dasher by holding the handle of the dash
shaft with his other hand and rapidly moving the same in a reciprocating manner,

page_text: with strokes about two inches in length, for about thirty to forty five seconds when
the substance will be sufficiently beaten or whipped.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :
1. In an egg-beater, the combination with the cylinder A, having both its ends
open and having in the lower end portion thereof two or more annular rows of
perforations a a for communication from the outside of said cylinder to within the
same, of the duplex dasher C composed of the perforated concavo-convex
disks C¹ C secured to the lower end of the vertical shaft C³, and provided with a
handle and calculated to be used in connection with vessel D, substantially as and
for the purposes set forth.
2. The combination with the cylinder A having both its ends open and having its
lower end portion of wall provided with two or more annular rows of perfora-
tions a a, and the duplex dasher C composed of the concavo-convex perforated
disks C¹ C² secured to a vertical shaft C provided with handle C₁, of a vessel D
described, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
