COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Mixing Machines for Pastry-cooks and Others.
I, WALTER GEARREN, of, 9, Preston St. Faversham, Kent. Gentleman. do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:—
My invention relates to improvements in mixing machines for pastry-cooks
and others, and refers to certain improvements on my former Letters Patent
No. 10734 A.1). 1895, the object being to arrange in connection with the machine
"brake" to
described in the Specification of the said former Patent, a suitable
effect a more thorough mixing of the ingredients, and further to simplify the
driving gear of the machine.
"
In order that these improvements may be clearly understood, I will now pro-
ceed to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
"
brake
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of the machine with the
in position,
Fig. 2 being an elevation, drawn to an enlarged scale, of the beater carrying
frame to which the "brake" is attached.
Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate in front elevation and partly sectional side elevation,
the improved form of gearing employed.
"
"
According to my improvements, to the cross bar a, of the sliding frame b,
brake
the "brake" is secured, or it may be formed integrally with same, said
comprising essentially a downwardly projecting vertical rod or stem c formed
with side branching arms d, said arms passing between the corresponding arms i
of the beater g (Fig. 1), the upper arms of said beater being divided or cut
away as shown, so as to allow of their passing the vertical stem or rod c, the
effect of this "brake " being to catch and retain any ingredients that may be
thrown up, and to divide and mix them as they are forced through same by the
arms of the beater.
The simplified form of gearing is illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 (Sheet. 2 of
the accompanying drawings) and comprises essentially an inner toothed wheel w
formed with a heavy rim el to act as a fly wheel and which engages with a small
toothed pinion 2, "mounted upon the driving spindle of the machine, said
gearing being operated by means of a suitable handle such as h or by means of
power through suitable driving pulleys.
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:-
1. In combination with a mixing machine for pastry cooks and others, a
"brake", comprising a downwardly projecting stem or rod c with side branching
arms d designed to pass between the divided arms f of the beater g, substantially
as herein described and shown and for the purposes specified.
2/. In combination with a mixing machine for pastry cooks and others, such

page_text: as described in the Specification of my former Patent No. 10734 A.D. 1895, the
simplified form of gearing substantially as herein described and shown.
3. The improvements in mixing machines for pastry-cooks and others, sub-
stantially as herein described and shown, and for the purposes specified.
Dated this 1st day of November. 1897.
