MIXING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 30. 1907.

To all whom (It may concern.-

Be it known that we, BYRON S. BLAKE and EDWIN A. LONGSHORE, citizens of the United States, residing at Des Moines, in the county simple, practical and eilicient machine of this character in which either dry or liquid substances'of any description may be quickly and thoroughly mixed.

The above and other objects which will appear as thenature of the invention is better understood, are accomplished by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved mixing machine, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the same.

Referring to the-drawings by numeral, .1 denotes my improved mixing machine, which has a revolving hollow drum or container 2 in the :form of two cone frustumsunited at their bases and mounted to revolve on a diagonal axis. By making the drum in. this shape and mounting it for rotation on its diagonal ax s, it will impart an-alternate fall ingrand lifting motion to its'contents, which Y tends to throw the material in the center toings 6 and 7, which have 7 to rotate in suitable hearings in uprights '8 ward each end of the machine and from each end of the machine to its' center, at the same 7 time that the material is being overturned,

hence causing the material "to be thoroughly -nixed. As shown, the two cone frustums 3, 4 are united at their bases 5, so that the drum is closed and hollow. The journals for the drum are preferably in the form ofcastcylindrical portions or other supports, and which have attaching flanges Qshaped to fit the cone frustums on which they are bolted or otherwise secured.

' The journal 7 of the casting 6 has secured upon its outer end, a gear wheel 10, which meshes with a pinion 11 secured upona short shaft 12, which is journaled in one of the uprights 8 and which has upon its outer end a crank handle 13. The journal 7 of the cast- 5 is bored to receive a water or other liqsupply pipe 14. The latter has its inner extending into the drum and bent at right angles, as shown at 15. By constructing the discharge end of this liquid supply pipe in this manner, it will be seen that there W1 1 be no danger of the contents of the drum getting in the same and choking it up when the drum is revolved. Water or other liquid may be sup lied to the outer end of the pipe 14 in any diisired manner, and any suitable means may be provided for controllin its passage through said pipe. The materials to be mixed in the drum are inserted therein through an opening formed in one of its cone frustums and closed by a cover 17 which is preferably detachably secured in said openm as shown at 18.

lhe' construction, operation and advan tages of the invention will be readily undermg m end stood from the fore oing description taken.

in connection with t e accompanyin drawings. By making the drum 2 in the orm of a double cone frustum and mounting it for rotation upon a diagonal axis, as shown, its contents will be given a peculiar motion which will cause the substances-to be quickly and'thoroughly mixed. V

, While the present embodiment of the invention is in the form of a device especially adapted for mixing cement and the like, it will be understood that it may be adapted for other uses. It will also be understood that it may be made in any size and of any material, and that it may be operated by hand or power.

Various other chan es in the form, proportion and minor detai s of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any'of the advanta es 01f the invention, as defined bythe appen ed 0 arm.

Having thus described ourinvention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is The hereindescribed mixing machine comprising sup orts, a hollow drum formed of two conic said drum having anopening in one side and a closure for said opening, ournals on said drum for rotation in bearings on said supstums, united at their bases;

shaft journaled in the said support and a pinion on the said crank shaft meshing with the said gear.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
