Filed Jan. 26, 1946 Pate'ntecl Sept. 20, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE EGG BEATER Dewey 0. Hughes, Murphy, N. 0., assignor of twothirds to Homer Yeager, Stockton, Calif.
Application January 26, 1946, Serial No. 643,700
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to the culinary tool art and is more particularly directed to a new and improved type of egg beater which is also capable of incidental uses in and about the culinary department of a home or other place.
The primary object of the invention is to produce an egg beater which would be of such construction as to offer a maximum amount of agitating surface and which is also very light and well supported for the purpose of standing the strain of the beating action. 7
A still further important object of the invention is to provide an implement of the character stated which may be made of very strong construction and yet of very light inexpensive materials and in which the manufacturing cost may be reduced to a minimum.
A further object of the invention is to produce a practical device and one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.
These objects are accomplished by means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claim.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of one element of the beater as it is formed but before it is incorporated into the finished product.
Figure 2 is a plan view of another element of the beater likewise shown as it is formed but before being incorporated into the finished product.
Figure 3 is a plan View of the beater as finally completed.
Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawings there is shown in Figure 1 one element of the beater. This element is made up of one continuous wire bent at a point substantially midway between its free ends to form substantially parallel portions l and 2. Adjacent the bent back end of the wire such wire is formed into a number of substantially circular convolutions 3, there being an equal number of such convolutions on each of the elements I and 2. In Figure 2 is shown the second element of the beater. This element is also made up of a single continuous wire bent back at a point substantially intermediate its free ends to form two parallel elements 4 and 5.
To form the finished beater the elements 4 and 5 are interwoven about the bent end of the element shown in Figure 1 and thence through the The elements I, 2, 4 and 5 beyond the convolutions 3 are then twisted together to form a rigid handle member 6. This twisting of the elements I, 2, 4 and 5 is discontinued at a point near the outer free ends thereof as at 1 and such free ends are allowed to flare outwardly at this point and each free end of each element is provided with an intermediate hook-like element 8. A slide wire 9 is mounted over the handle 6 and has a restricted loop [0 at its outer end by means of which the free flared ends I may be forced together so that a rag or like element may be clamped between the hooks 8 for use in cleaning dishes, pans and the like.
It will be obvious that the beater end ll of the implement, when in its finished form, provides a well opened beating surface through which the material being worked on may pass freely back and forth. It will also be obvious that although made up of very light construction the resistance imparted by the convolutions 3 and by the interwoven support of the elements 4 and 5 so reinforce the structure as to prevent any bending or breaking down of the wires under continued use of the beater.
It will also be obvious that due to the simplified construction shown, the beater may be made up of very inexpensive material and the cost of manufacturing thereof reduced to a minimum so that the finished product may be sold at a very low price.
The open wire construction also makes the implement useful in such incidental operations such as lifting eggs out of boiling water or straining materials out of broth, or the like.
From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that there has been produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the invention as set forth herein.
While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, the following is claimed as new and useful and upon which Letters Patent is desired:
An egg beater comprising a single wire bent back upon itself at a point intermediate its ends and formed into a series of substantially circular convolutions at a point adjacent to and at each side of the bent end thereof, the bent ends of the wire and all of the convolutions lying in a substantially common plane, the free ends of the wire beyond said convolutions being twisted together to form a handle, a second wire bent back upon itself, the bent end of the second wire crossing over the bent end of the first Wire, the ends of the second Wire beyond its bent end being threaded through at least a portion of the convolutions on each side of the bent end of the first Wire and such portions of the second Wire also lying :in substantially the same plane as the bent portionsrof thefirst Wire and. said convolutions, and the free ends of the second wire being twisted With the free ends of the first Wire forming the handle.
