in the County of Huntingdonshire, for an Invention of IMPROVEMENTS IN
PAA DEATERS
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Algeron Herbert Frost and
Francis Earl at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 6th April
1883.
ALGERON HERBERT FROST and FRANCIS EARL, both of St Ives, in the County of
Huntingdonshire, "IMPROVEMENTS IN EGG BEATERS,”
93
The improvements relate to receptacles for holding and beating up therein the
yolks and whites of eggs for which purpose we use a cylindrical receptacle of
metal, or porcelain of convenient size-We close one end, and about halfway up
the cylindrical receptacle we form or make a circular projection ring or ledge for
holding a loose metal or porcelain diaphragm furnished with holes-We also make
a hollow cylindrical lid with a closed top and a shoulder or ring on its lowest edge
and a shoulder ring or rim at or near its upper edge, the latter being fitted with a
rubber ring-this cylindrical lid is intended to be placed within the cylindrical
receptacle and to project therein so as to hold the loose metal diaphragm in
position, which it does by means of its shoulder or rim, so that the diaphragm is
held between it and the projection in the receptacle-the rubber ring secures the
lid in the receptacle at top and prevents leakage.
The beater is used as follows: an egg is broken and contents poured into the
receptacle, the loose perforated diaphragm is then inserted over the contents, and
the hollow lid is then placed in the cylinder and so holds the diaphragm in place-
the whole apparatus is then shaken briskly for a few seconds, and contents will bo
found thoroughly whisked.

The improvements relate to receptacles for holding and beating up therein the

or porcelain of convenient size. We close one end, and about half way up the
cylindrical receptacle we form or make a circular projection ring or ledge for holding

hollow cylindrical lid with a closed top and a shoulder or ring on its lowest edge,
and sometimes a shoulder ring or rim at or near its upper edge, the latter being
fitted with a rubber ring or we use a rubber ring without any shoulder-this
cylindrical lid is intended to be placed within the cylindrical receptacle and to
project downwards therein so as to hold the loose metal diaphragin in position,
which it does by means of its shoulder or rim, so that the diaphragm is held
between it and the projection in the receptacle-the rubber ring secures the lid in
the receptacle at top and prevents leakage.
The drawing attached will show how the invention can be performed. Fig 1 is
a sectional elevation of lid and Fig 2 sectional elevation of beater. Fig 3 plan of
diaphragm. In all the figures like letters represent like parts-A is the receptacle―
B the hollow lid-C the perforated loose diaphragm-D is turned up lip or rim
which presses on C when placed on rim E in A and so secures C-F is a rubber
band which fitting into the upper portion of A. causes the lid B to be held securely.
We prefer to make A and B of block tin and C of pewter.
The beater is used as follows: An egg is broken and contents poured into the
receptacle, the loose perforated diaphragm is then inserted over the contents, and
the hollow lid is then placed in the cylinder and so holds the diaphragm in place-
the whole apparatus is then shaken briskly for a few seconds, and contents will be
found thoroughly whisked.
We claim the improved egg beater constructed substantially as described and
illustrated.
In witness whereof we the said Algeron Herbert Frost and Francis Earl have
hereunto set our bands and seals this second day of October A.D. 1883.
