`Applibation filed June 16, 1913. Serial No. 773,804.
`
`To all whom it may concern .-
`Be it knownthat I, Jonn L. Hana, a citi-
`zen of the United States, residing at Nora
`Springs, in the county of Floyd and State
`of Iowa, have invented certain new and use-
`_ful Improvements in Beating and Mixing
`Machines; and I do hereby declare the fol-
`lowing to be a full, clear, and exact descrip-
`tion of the invention, such as will enable
`others skilled in the art to which it apper-
`tains to make and use the same.
`My invention has for its object to provide
`an irhproved mixing and beating machine
`especially adapted for use in mixing drinks
`and, to this end, generally stated, it consists
`of the novel devices and combinations of de-
`vices hereinafter described and defined in
`the claims.
`In the accompanying drawings, which
`‘illustrate the invention, like characters indi-
`cate like parts throughout the several views.
`Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a
`side elevation of the improved device, some
`parts being broken away, some of the ex-
`posed parts being shown in section, and some
`parts being shown,in cliilerent positions by
`’ means of dotted lines; Fig. 2 is a transverse
`section, taken on the line :02 m2 of Fig. 1; and
`Fig. 3 is a detail view in vertical section,
`showing a portion of the plunger of the
`glass supporting bracket.
`The numeral 1 indicates a pedestal having,
`. at its lower end portion, a pair of vertically
`spaced, laterally projecting lugs 2 arranged .
`to embrace a table top Y. A clamping
`screw 3 has screw threaded engagement with
`the lower lug 2, and is provided with a
`swivel head 4, between which and the upper
`lug 2 the table top Y is clamped. Secured
`to the upper end of the pedestal 1 is an annu-
`lar gear casing 5 having a peripheral exten-
`sion 6 in which the upper end of an upright
`shaft 7 is journaled. A multiplying drive
`is provided for rotating the shaft 7 and
`comprises a worm wheel 8 journaled in the
`gear casing 5 and a worm 9 meshing there-
`with. This worm 9 is keyed to the upper
`end of the shaft 7 within the gear casing ex-
`tension~'6. To one of the projecting trun-
`nions of the worm wheel 8 is secured a hand
`crank 10 provided for driving said worm
`wheel 8. To the lower end of the shaft 7 is
`secured a beater comprising a pair of de-
`pending U-shaped beater blades 11., extend-
`in at right angles to each other and having
`difierent transverse spread, so that the said
`
`io

`
`heater blades will travel in difl’erent circles,
`under the, rotation of the shaft 7, for the
`purpose of increasing the efficiency of the
`beater.
`,
`. Located directl
`under the shaft 7 is a
`glass supporting racketi12 secured to the
`lower end of a vertically movable plunger
`18, slidably mounted in a pair of vertically
`spaced bearing lugs 14: on the pedestal 1.
`To the upper end of the plunger 13 is se-
`cured a collar 15 engageable with the upper
`lug 14, for limiting the downward sliding
`movementof the said plunger,
`to support
`thebracket 12 in its lowermost position. A
`spring pressed lock pin 16, mounted in the
`lower bearin lug 14, works in a longitudi-
`nally exten ed groove 17 formed in the
`plunger 13.
`‘At the lower end of the groove
`17 is formed a depression 18, deeper than the
`groove 17, for receiving the lock pin 16 and
`thereby locking the glass supporting bracket
`12 in its uppermost position. The vertical
`member of the glass supporting bracket‘12
`is extended upward, to afford a support 19
`for a horizontally extended C-shaped spring
`clamp -20, arranged to embrace and yield-
`ingly hold a glass Z on the supporting,
`bracket 12. Mounted for vertical sliding
`movement on the shaft 7 is a horizontally
`extended
`disk-like
`cover ’ 21. A coiled
`spring 22 on the shaft 7 is compressed be-
`tween the gear casing extension 6 and the
`cover 21 and yieldingly presses the said
`cover onto the glass Z, when the same is in
`its uppermost position, as shown by full
`lines in the drawings.
`the device may be
`The operation of
`briefly stated as follows: Wile!) the bracket
`12 is in its lowermost position, as indicated
`by dotted lines in Fig. 1, the glass Z may
`be applied thereto or removed therefrom, at
`will, by springing the clamp 20. The lock
`pin 16 working in the groove 17 of the
`plunger 13 holds the bracket 12 against
`lateral
`swinging movement. When the
`bracket 12 is moved upward, the glass Z, is
`carried into a position to receive the beater
`11. At the limit of this upward movement
`of the bracket 12, the spring pressed lock
`pin 16 automatically enters the depression
`18 and thereby loclg said bfacket indits up-
`ermost osition.
`urin t ieupwar move-
`ihent of I-the bracket 12, iihe upper edge of
`the glass Z engages the cover 21, whichnor-
`mally rests on the connection ‘between the
`beater 11 and the shaft 7, and lifts the same

`against the tension of the spring 22. The
`spring 22 yieldingly holds the cover 21 in
`tight engagement with the upper edge of
`the glass Z [and thereby preventsvthe con-
`tents of the glass from spilling, under the
`action of the beater 11 Workingtherein.

`travel in difierent circles, the contents of the
`glass Z will be thoroughly and quickly
