I, WILLIAM GARTHWAITE of 222 Victor Street New Clee Great Grimsby in the
county of Lincoln Photographer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The instrument I use for beating whisking or whipping eggs, is in the form of a
syringe, the end of which is perforated with a number of holes, or covered with
gauze or woven wire of any degree of fineness through which, the egg or eggs, after
being separated from the shell or shells, are drawn by the piston of the syringe and
expelled by the same means. This operation is repeated until the fibre or constitution
of the egg or eggs is thoroughly broken, beaten, or whisked, into the required
condition. Or the syringe to be used as a whisk may have a nozzle or ordinary pipe
with one or more holes and used as above described, and for the same purpose that
is beating whipping or whisking eggs for domestic or manufacturing purposes.
The improved mixer may be made of either, metal, wood, glass, earthenware or any
other suitable material.
The improved mixer may be used for beating the yolkes, or the whites separately
or both parts of the egg together as may be wanted.
Or mixing either or both parts of the
with
egg
any
other ingredient.
Or as an improved mixer for mixing all kinds of ingredients, in a fluid or semi fluid
state.

page_text: I WILLIAM GARTHWAITE of 222 Victor Street New Clee Great Grimsby in the
County of Lincoln Photographer 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 of an improved mixer especially applicable as an egg whisk I make in
the form of a syringe that is to say
I make a cylinder of metal glass earthenware or other suitable substance the
end of which is pierced or perforated with holes, or the end may be formed of woven
or gauze wire with the requisite number of holes the other end of the cylinder is open
to receive the piston or plunger the said piston to work up and down freely in the
cylinder or body of the syringe but not so freely as to allow the substance to be
mixed to pass between the piston and the cylinder but in the same way as the piston
and cylinder of a steam engine.
The piston to be secured from leaving the body of the syringe by a cap with a hole
in the centre the requisite size for the piston rod to work through freely the cap to be
screwed on or otherwise suitably fastened as in an ordinary syringe.
One end of the piston rod carries the plunger to work up and down in the cylinder,
the other end of the piston is furnished with a knob ring or handle for working the
improved mixer by hand, or may be fitted with suitable appliance for working the
same by steam or other power. The instrument complete is in the form of a syringe
and in, addition to the forms already mentioned the end may be in the form of
a nozzle with one or any number of holes. The "improved mixer especially
applicable as an egg whisk "may be used as follows The egg or eggs to be beaten or
whisked after been seperated from the shells are placed in a suitable vessel the
improved mixer is introduced into the same vessel amongst the eggs and by working
the piston up and down the eggs are first drawn into the mixer through the hole or
holes and then forcibly ejected through the same this combined squirting and churning
action quickly and effectually breaks up the fibre or constitution of the egg or eggs
and brings them into a suitable condition for domestic purposes. For mixing paints
or combining chemical compounds or mixing sponge cakes, iceing for cakes or other
confectionery on a large scale I prefer to have the improved mixer fixed in and
permanently fastened to a suitably sized vessel into which the various ingredients to
be mixed are placed. But for whisking egg for domestic purposes the improved
mixer may be used in any convenient vessel. For paper albumenizers the improved
mixer will of great value as it will quickly bring the whites or albumen of the egg
into suitable condition. For certain kinds of fine leather dressing where only the
yolkes are used the improved mixer will be of special value also for mixing fats and
oils. The improved mixer will be of great utility when applying anti-fouling
composition to ships' bottoms as the composition requires constant and violent
agitation immediatly before application.

page_text: 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
That my improved is totally different from all other mixers or egg whisks inasmuch
as that all other mixers or whisks hitherto made have done thier work by a beating or
stirring process while my invention brings a different action into work and by a
combined squirting and churning action more quickly and effectually breaks up the
constitution of the egg or eggs and brings them into a suitable condition for culinary
and domestic purposes.
