PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and Additions to Egg and like Whisks.
I, THOMAS TAYLOR, of Church Road, Moseley, in the City of Birmingham,
Brassfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to instruments or apparatus for rapidly agitating or
disintegrating eggs, cream and other semi-liquid substances, such as batter and the
like, and has particular reference to spirally coiled wire cage-like whisks, worked.
by compression and the forcing or telescoping of the adjacent coils into or over
each other, and the primary object of my invention is the making of the said
spirally formed whisks aud their handles in one piece and from a single length of
wire, whilst another part of my invention consists in combining with an egg whisk,
a cage-like apparatus known as egg boilers.
In carrying out one form of the first part of my invention, I take length of
wire and I coil the same into a cage-shaped helix or spiral, with the metal of the
same continued into a long and parallel coil, with the extreme end of the wire
fashioned into a loop, thus making the cage-shape whisk and the handle, with a
hanging-up loop, all in one piece and from a single length of wire.
In another form of my invention, I make the spirally shaped cage or body part
of the whisk by coiling the end of a length of wire spirally and continuing the
other end of the wire into a straight stem, upon which a china, glass, wood or other
handle is threaded and there secured and held by afterwards bending the extreme
end of the wire forming the stem, into a loop.
In a further form of my invention, I make the cage part of the whisk from one
end part of a length of wire, as before, either by coiling it lengthwise, or by
evolving the same from a point, alike unto a clock, and drawing the same outwards,
and I form the other end part of the wire into a double stem, first by extending
the said wire to a distance, then bending and evolving the same into a loop and
then returning the terminal end and passing or affixing the same into the apex of
the cage, whilst the wires forming the said handle may run parallel to each other
and at short distances apart.
In carrying out a further form of my invention, I make the body of the whisk
part in the form of a spherical cage and with both it and the handle made from a
single length of wire. The said handle may have a loop at the end and may be
made by coiling like the first arrangement, or the handle may be in the form of a
plain stem or stems as in the second and third arrangements.
In the spherical whisk, the rest part is made into the form of a foot.
In carrying out that part of my invention in connection with a combined egg
boiler and whisk, I make the body part in the form of an inverted cone-shaped
cage, with the termination part of the wire extended from the upper coil into a
shank, handle loop or hook.
When used as an egg boiler, the eggs are placed into the interior of the cage
and deposited into a boiling vessel, and may be suspended, if necessary, from a
hook part formed out of the stem.
When used as a whisk the cage body part is compressed and the sides of the cage
collapsed, and the sides are made to telescope one with the other, alike unto the other
forms, and the material to be agitated or broken up passes through the interstices
located between the opposed coils, when the same are collapsed or the evolved parts
telescopes by moving the whisk up and down.

page_text: As a further form of my invention, I may make a whisk from strip metal or
from flat wire or I make the same from sheet metal, pierced volutely, and then the
helixes are drawn out.

Improvements in and Additions to Egg and like Whisks.
I, THOMAS TAYLOR, of Church Road, Moseley, in the City of Birmingham,
Brassfounder, 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:-
This invention relates to instruments or apparatus for rapidly beating-up,
agitating and disintegrating eggs, cream and other semi-liquid substances, such as
batter and the like, and has particular reference to spirally coiled wire cage-like
beaters worked by compression and the forcing or telescoping of the adjacent coils
into or over each other, and the primary object of my invention is the making of
the said spirally formed beaters and their handles in one piece and from a single
length of wire.
In carrying out one form of my invention, I take a length of wire and I coil
the same into a cage-shaped helix or spiral, with the metal of the same continued
into a long coil and with the extreme end of the wire fashioned into a loop, thus
making the cage-shape beater and the handle, with a hanging-up loop, all in one
piece and from a single length of wire.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents in elevation an egg beater,
with body part, handle and hanging-up loop made from a single length of wire
and according to one form of my invention, although if necessary, the handle part
may be unprovided with a loop.
Figure 2 represents the same partly compressed.
Figure 3 is a topside plan of Figure 2, and Figure 4 represents the beater fully
compressed.
In Figures 1 to 4, a is the body part of the beater, the handle and c the
hanging-up loop.
In another form of my invention, I make the spirally shaped cage or body part
of the beater by coiling the end of a length of wire spirally and continuing the
other end of the wire into a straight stem, upon which a china, glass, wood or
other handle is threaded and there secured and held by afterwards bending the
extreme end of the wire forming the stem into a loop.
Figure 5 represents an egg-beater constructed according to this modification of
my invention, in which a is the body part, b the straight stem and c is the loop,
whilst d is the threaded-on handle.
In a further forin of my invention, I make the cage part of the whisk from one
end part of a length of wire, as before. I form the other end part of the wire
into a double stem, first by extending the said wire to a distance then bending and
evolving the same into a loop and then returning the terminal end and passing or
affixing the same into the apex of the cage, whilst the wires forming the said
handle may run parallel to each other and at short distances apart.
Figure 6 represents an egg beater so constructed. a is the body part and ba
double or return stem.
In carrying out a further form of my invention, I make the body of the beater
part in the form of a spherical cage and with both it and the handle made from a

page_text: single length of wire. The said handle may have a loop at the end and may be
made by coiling like the first arrangement, or the handle may be in the form of
a plain stem or stems as in the second and third arrangements.
In the spherical beater the rest part is made into the form of a foot.
Figure 7 represents such an egg beater, in which a is the hody part, the handle,
c the loop and d the base or foot.
Instead of making the various forms of beaters herein described from wire, I
may make the same from strip metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In egg beaters of the kinds described, making the combined body and handle
parts of the same from a single length of wire or metal, substantially as described
and set forth in the several figures of the drawing.
