COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Mixing Ingredients for the Preparation
of Mayonnaise and like Sauces.
I, ARTHUR ESCOTT YOUNG, of 46, Holborn Viaduct, in the County of London,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (communicated to mo
by Leonidas H. Cress, Inventor and Manufacturer, of West Newton, Boston, Mass.
U.S.A.) 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 an improved device for mixing ingredients for
Mayonnaise or other sauces and it has for its object to construct a machine which
may be secured to a table or the like and by which the incorporation of the various
elements of which the sauce or dressing is composed may be rapidly and efficiently
effected and also to provide a means whereby the addition of the ingredients or
ingredient may be regulated.
In carrying the invention into effect, I cast or otherwise form a suitable vertical
metal standard or support having at its lower end or base a clamp or other
device by which it may be readily secured to a table. Secured to the standard
at a suitable distance from the base thereof and at a right angle thereto is a ring
of sheet metal designed to retain a suitable vessel in which the ingredients are
mixed. At the top of the standard is a projecting lug having a vertical hole
formed therein to receive a wire support for a funnel shaped vessel provided at
its smaller end with a tube so bent as to project over the vessel in which the
ingredients are mixed and which tube is provided with a tap by which the dis-
charge of the contents of the funnel shaped vessel aforesaid is governed.
At the top of the standard is a vertical pin designed to engage with a hole
formed in one end of an arm, a thumb screw being provided for securing it to
the pin upon the standard. The arm projects horizontally over the mixing vessel
and has bearings formed therein for a vertical spindle upon which is secured a
small pinion in gear with a larger wheel upon the side of which are formed suitable
teeth. The wheel is provided with a suitable handle for operating same, and the
lower end of the spindle has secured to it an agitator of suitable form rotating
within the mixing vessel.
In order that the invention may be the better understood drawings are appended
in which:-
Fig. 1 is a general elevation of the device.
Fig. 2 is a view of the back of the arm supporting the spindle.
Fig. 3 is a plan of the funnel shaped vessel with its support.
Fig. 4 is a detail view showing part of the ring or support for the vessel within
which the mixing takes place.
A is the vertical standard having cast or otherwise secured to its base a clamp B
and thumb screw C by which the device is secured to the table D. E is the metal
ring for retaining the vessel F, the ring being secured by rivets G or the like to
the plane portion H of the standard A which as shown in Fig. 1 is located approxi-

the standard A at the top is a lug or projection I having a hole drilled or otherwise
formed therein to receive the wire J which wire is at its upper end formed into a
ring and supports the funnel shaped vessel K in which are placed the ingredients
or ingredient to be mixed with the liquid in the vessel F and which vessel is pro-
vided at its smaller end with a tube L having a tap M by which the contents
of the funnel are discharged, the tube L projecting over the mouth of the vessel F.
The top of the standard A is flat and his an upwardly projecting pin N shown
dotted in Figs. 1 and 2 adapted to engage with a hole formed in the end of the
horizontal arm which arm is secured in position by means of the thumb screw P
tapped into the arm and engaging with the pin N a lip or projection Q being pro-
vided upon the arm to ensure the same occupying a position so as to bring the
vertical spindle R into the centre of the vessel F.
The arm is provided upon its projecting end with a piece S within which are
formed bearings T T for the spindle aforesaid which spindle is operated by means
of the hand wheel U upon the rim of which at the side are formed teeth V engaging
with the pinion VI secured to the spindle R. The spindle is held in position by a
collar Wat the upper end thereof. The spindle R is continued downwards and
has secured to it a piece of sheet metal Y shaped, as shown, which upon the rotation
of the hand wheel U will revolve rapidly thereby causing the liquid within the
vessel to be thoroughly incorporated.
The funnel shaped vessel K and tube L may, if desired, be divided into two parts
as indicated by the dotted line X in Fig. 3 and the tap M may be a two or three
way tap so as to discharge the contents of either side of the funnel as may be
desired.
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 improved mixing device for sauces or dressing, constructed, arranged, and
operated substantially as herein described and shown by the accompanying
drawings.
