iMPFZQ'VEME NT lthl- EGQHBEATERSB:

Specification luuluug part of Letters Patent No. 39,134, dated July 7, 186-5; reissue No. 6,542,11ated I I July 13, 1:575; application filed June 8, 1875;

To all whom '56 may ccncem Be it known that l, 'TIMo'ri-[r EARLE, of Lincoln, (formerly Smithfielrh) in the county of Providence and Stateof Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg-Beaters; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the drawing making a part of the same, is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

Figure l is a view of the heater. Fig. 2 is another view of the same, with the rack which works it shown. Fig. 3 is a top view of the same.

Various devices have been employed for the purpose ot bcat' than by the familiar hand process.

One of these devices consists of two wire frames, one

within the other, and, made to revolve in 0pposite directions; another consists of a propeller-blade inside of a wire frame, the frame and blades being made to revolve in opposite directions; and still another consists of a propeller-blade, which is made to rotate, while a pair of heaters have, at the same time, a reciprocating motion.

All these machines, and all others with which I am acquainted, possess the common fault that the bra ers, Whether of wire or oi the form of propeller-blades, do not cut the yolk and white of the egg, but literally bent them.

Now, as the albumen of an egg consists of a peculiar thick glairy substance. it can be worked more effectually with, a cutting instrument than with one which has a blunt edge. In fact, so well is this understood that housewives commonly Inakeuse of the blade of a knife for the purpose.

M3 invention is designed to obviate the difficulty referred to 5 and consists in the use of a revolving frame, A, formed of thin strips of metal of the form shown, and mounted upon a spindle, 13, around which it can freely to tate; and also of an outer fixed. frame, 0, of the same general form as the inner one, but large enough to permit the inner. frame to retate within it. 'llhe outer i'rmne is attached to the spindle l3, and with it furnishes a support or frame for. the operative parts of the machine.

' eggsmore expeditiously.

The-inner frame is further, provided with a series of cutters or blades, 0rd, &c., arranged in any manner suitable for cutting through the fluid in many different places i .These cutters or blades are simply pieces oi sheet-tin or other suitable metal of the wid th of the inner, frame, and are attached to the same by theiuends, as is shown, and they are all so placed that their edges shell out thejmaterial to be agitated when the 'frame A is rotated. The blades which form the outer fixed frame 0 are also placed in a. similar position, and when the machine is in operation, cut through the current of material which is carried past them by the revolving frame, and thus aid in the operation in a similar manner. II'DQILT ILQ Qp qfi. the frame A is attached a t0othed'wheel,-D, through which, by means of the rack E, Fig. 3, worked by the hand, a rotatory motion is given to the inner frame A in alternate directions. The frame 0, at its upper end, is' so formed and arranged in relationto the pinion D as to leave the proper space. between them, upon either side, to receive the rack E, and serve as a guide or hearing to keep the rack in gear with the pinion and H is a circular flange attached to the lower side of the pinion to prevent the rack from falling down.

My invention also relates to the method of holding the machine in position while it is used. In the previous machines for this pnr pose the machine has been generally attached to or supported upon and in connection with the vessel which contained the materials to be operated upon, thus requiring a specific kind of vessel for the pur iose, which, in elfect, formed part of the In; hine; or the frame of the machine was fixe {to some stationary object, with the revolving beater or heaters projecting downward below the lllilt CL ine into the vessel which contained the matters to be treated, the vessel being held below the machine, and entirely detached from it. But bydll) improvement the machine. becomes a. separate detached implement, which can; be, used in any vessel, and without any mechanical fastening of the mac-lime to the vessel or to any other object. This part of my invention, therefore, consists in providing the bottom of the fixed frame 0 0f the machine with.
