PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Egg Beaters.
I, WILLIAM ROBINSON of 18 Regent Street, Leamington, in the County of
Warwick, Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in egg beaters which can be made
in a very cheap and effective manner and can be easily repaired should they at any
time be out of order.
I make a cylinder or casing which may be either solid or in skeleton form so
that the parts can be seen but I will explain the invention as a cylinder made from
say tin though almost any material will do. Through the bottom of the cylinder
end the rod carrying the beater descends and the beater itself may be of any
desired shape and of wire or tin or other material but I prefer two rings of tin
crossing each other upon the end of the wire rod inside the cylinder I mount a
bobbin or reel and through the side of the cylinder opposite the bobbin I make
a hole through which a string or its equivalent may pass the end of which is
secured to the bobbin. To the upper part of the bobbin I secure a length of india
rubber such for instance as an elastic band the upper end being secured to the top
end of the cylinder which may be loose to lift off. In action the string is pulled
revolves the beater and twists the elastic band which reverses the beater and draws
the string back thus producing an alternating revolving action so beating the eggs
in two directions very rapidly and in a most simple and easy manner. Suitable
handles may
be mounted upon the string or cylinder or the cylinder may be so
formed as to be a handle itself.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Egg Beaters.
I, WILLIAM ROBINSON, of 18 Regent Street, Leamington, in the County of
Warwick, Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 has for its object improvements in egg beaters which can be made
in a very cheap and effective manner and can be easily repaired should they at any
time be out of order.
I make a cylinder or casing which may be either solid or in skeleton form so
that the parts can be seen but I will explain the invention as a cylinder made from
say tin though almost any material will do. Through the bottom of the cylinder
end the rod carrying the beater descends and the beater itself may be of any
desired shape and of wire or tin or other material but I prefer two rings of tin
crossing each other upon the end of the wire rod. Inside the cylinder I mount a
bobbin or reel and through the side of the cylinder opposite the bobbin I make a
hole through which a string or its equivalent may pass the end of which is secured
to the bobbin. To the upper part of the bobbin I secure a length of india-rubber
such for instance as an elastic band the upper end being secured to the top end of
the cylinder which may be loose to lift off. In action the spring is pulled, which
revolves the beater, and twists the elastic band which reverses the beater and

the eggs in two directions very rapidly and in a most simple and easy manner.
Suitable handles may be mounted upon the string or cylinder or the cylinder may
be so formed as to be a handle itself.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon which
I have fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1. is a vertical sectional elevation through a heater.
Figure 2. is an elevation of same.
Figure 3. shews a modification in the form of casing.
I make a cylinder or casing A which may be either solid or in skeleton form so
that the parts can be seen but I will explain the invention as a cylinder made from
say tin though almost any material will do. Through the bottom of the cylinder
end a the rod D carrying the beater D descends and the beater itself may be of
any desired shape and of wire or tin or other material but I prefer to form it of
two rings d' of tin crossing each other as shown. Upon the end of the wire rod B and
inside the cylinder I mount the bobbin or reel E and through the side of the
cylinder opposite the bobbin I form the hole a through which the string. H or its
equivalent may pass the end of which is secured to the bobbin E. To the upper
part e of the bobbin E I secure the length of india rubber K such for instance as
an elastic band the upper end being secured to the top end a³ of the cylinder A
which may be made loose to lift off. In action the string H is pulled which
revolves the beater D and twists the clastic band which reverses the beater D and
draws the string H. back thus producing an alternating revolving action and so
beating the eggs in two directions very rapidly and in a most simple and easy
manner. A suitable handle ¹ is mounted upon the string H or the cylinder may
be so formed as to be a handle itself.
I may vary the shape of the casing A and may provide the sliding door M
Figure 3, on the reverse side to the hole a³ and thereby render the drum E easy of
access for attaching or repairing the string the door slides in the grooves
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 :-
The improvements in egg beaters substantially as and for the purpose herein
set forth and shown upon the accompanying sheet of drawings.
