IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR MIXING OR DISINTEGRATING FLUID AND SEMIFLUID SUBSTANCES to be as follows:
Year: 1884

page_text: We, ROBERT M°NICHOL of Prescott Street Spindle Foreman and ISAAC WALSH
of 83 Fairfield Street Spindle Foreman both of Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
APPARATUS FOR MIXING OR DISINTEGRATING FLUID AND SEMIFLUID SUBSTANCES
to be as follows:-
"
It consists of a cylindrical vessel of metal or other suitable material with a
removable lid. Within this case we place one or more discs of metal or other
suitable material, preferably three, of the same size as the internal diameter of the
cylinder, one of these three discs is connected with the lid by means of a tube and
forms a second internal lid, the other two or more discs are fixed at equal distances
upon a rod, (of metal or other suitable material) this rod passes through the tube
which connects the double lid and is worked from outside the vessel by hand or
power with a reciprocating motion, forcing the discs through the substances which
it is desired to mix. Round the edge of each disc are narrow diagonal slits, the
slits in each alternate disc being placed at right angles to the slits of the one above
and below. The substances being forced through these slits in the edges of the
discs, are, owing to the contrary direction of the slits twisted and mixed in the
most effectual manner and with great rapidity.
We reserve the right to apply this Invention to any number of purposes to
which it may be applicable such as beating eggs, churning or mixing butter
paint &c.

We, ROBERT MONICHOL of Prescott Street, Spindle Foreman and ISAAC WALSH
of 83 Fairfield Street, Spindle Foreman both of Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
APPARATUS FOR MIXING OR DISINTEGRATING FLUID AND SEMIFLUID SUBSTANCES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
"
It consists of a cylindrical vessel of metal (glass, wood, earthenware or other
suitable material) with a removeable lid. Within this case we place one or more
discs of metal (glass, wood, earthenware or other suitable material) preferably
three, of the same size as the internal diameter of the cylinder. One of these three
discs is connected with the lid by means of a tube and forms a second internal lid
which may be formed to be adjusted (by means of a screw thread or other ordinary
means), to any height in the vessel, required; the other two or more discs are fixed
at equal distances upon a rod of metal (or other suitable material). This rod passes
through the tube which connects the double lid, and is worked from outside the
vessel, by hand or power with a reciprocating motion, forcing the discs, through
the substances it is desired to mix. Round the edge of each disc are narrow
diagonal slits, the slits in each alternate disc being placed at right angles to the
slits of the one above and below.
The substances in process of mixing being forced through these slits in the edges
of the discs, are owing to the contrary direction of the slits twisted and mixed in
the most effectual manner and with great rapidity.
We reserve the right to apply this Invention to any number of purposes to
which it may be applicable, such as beating eggs, churning or mixing butter,
paint &c.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood we send herewith a sheet
of Drawings.
In this Fig. 1 is an elevation, and Fig. 2 a section of the apparatus; Fig. 3
shows the double lid and discs, detached; Fig 4 is a plan of the discs, showing
how the slits are placed; Fig 5 shows the double lid detached, and Fig 6 a plan of
the apparatus. In all the Figures, a shows the cylindrical vessel, b the lid, ccc the
three discs, d the tube connecting the first disc with the lid, e e the slits in the
discs, and the rod for actuating the apparatus.
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 :—
1st The apparatus, substantially as described and shown, hereinbefore and in the
accompanying drawing, for the purposes set forth.
2nd The use of diagonal slits in discs, substantially as described and shown,
herein before and in the accompanying drawing for the purposes set forth.
3rd The use of a double lid connected by a tube, substantially as described and
shown, herein before and in the accompanying drawing, for the purposes set
forth.
