that n a r' ALBERT MOSES, OF NEW YORK. N. Y.

EGG-BEATER.

Application filed April 5, 1916.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ALBERT Moses, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Egg- Beater, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to at will remove for repair or replacement, any or all of the whip-loops of the beater; to roll the whipping structure in the hand of the operator during the employment of the beater in service; and to provide a construction, the parts whereof may be separated in their structural elements.

Drawinga-Figurc 1 is a side view of a heater constructed and arranged in accord ance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same, the section being taken as on the line 22 in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a detail view on an enlarged scale, showing the under side of the loopholding plate.

Descriptz'0n.The beater herein disclosed is of the type known as a French whip, wherein open wire loops are grouped about a common center, the loops being preferably unconnected at the outer end or end farthest removed from the handle. Many objections to beaters constructed in the manner indicated have arisen, the principal among which may be stated that the loops in service become bent, worn, or broken, in which case the replacement or repair becomes a serious problem and one fraught with many difficulties.

To avoid the difliculty above mentioned, there is provided in the present invention, a series of wire loops, the opposite ends of each whereof are furnished with knobs or balls 9. To receive in service the said balls 9, a holding plate 10 having a series of recesses 11, is provided. The recesses 11, as shown best in Fig. 3 of the drawings, are disposed in the under side of the plate 10, and each is provided with a radial end-opening slot 12. The width of the slots 12 is sufficient to pass the body of the loops 8, and to hold the balls 9. The depth of the recesses 11 is slightly less than the diameter of the balls 9, so that when the clamping plate 13 is forced toward the plate 10, the balls 9 are gripped between the said plates Specification of Letters Patent.

10 and 13, and thereby rendered partly immovable.

The plate 13 is shaped to cover the under side of the plate 10, to conceal the recesses 11 therein. The plate 13 has a neck or upstanding flange 14, which is centrally perforated and provided with internal screw threads to register with the external screw threads on a neck 15, with which the plate 10 is provided, and as best shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. To facilitate the operation of screwing and unscrewing the plate 13 on the plate 10, the plate 13 is furnished with spanner wrench members 16. These members may be of the projected type, such as shown in the drawings, or recesses or holes in the plate 13 may be substituted therefor.

Usually the loops 8 are assembled and held in service position by the plates 10 and 13, prior to being mounted on the handle with which the beater is provided. As shown best in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the handle has an interior tube 17, one end whereof is provided with an external thread to register with internal threads formed in the plate 10, and the other end with internal threads to register with the external threads of a screw plug 18.

The tube 17 supports a hand grip member 19, which, in service, is free to rotate on the tube 17. To the end that the hand grip member 19 may rotate during the employment of the beater, the screw plug 18 has a cap 20, which extends over to cover the end of the member 19. The cap 20 has spanner wrench members 21, whereby the plug 18 may be set rigidly in service position. When this is done, it will be found that the member 19 is free to rotate on the tube 17 be tween said cap 20 and the ends of the flange 14rand neck 15 of the plates 10 and 13.

Opemm'0n.WVhen provided with a beater constructed and arranged as herein described, it will be found that during the operation of beating, the loop structure is free to rotate on a longitudinal axis, and about the center of the grip member 19. By reason of this arrangement, a larger number of loops is brought into service, i

and the effective work of the beater is increased. It will also be found that if during the operation, any one or more of the loops 8 become damaged, they may be quickly and easily replaced by removing the plate 13 from the plate 10 sufliciently far to permit the passage of the balls 9 between the two plates, the loops being thus removed, and other loops may be substituted or the removed loop or loops may be repaired and replaced. sired, the beater may be entirely and completely cleaned by segregating the various parts for independent and careful cleansing, after which they may be readily and quickly re-assembled for service.

Claims:

1. An beater comprising a plurality of bent wire loops, each loop having at the opposite ends thereof, retaining members; a holding plate for the ends of said loops, said plate providing recesses for receiving the retaining members; a cover plate for said holding plate for closing the recesses for said retaining members and for preventing the withdrawal of the same from said recesses; a handle removably attached to said holding and cover plates; and a hand grip revolubly mounted on said handle permiting the free rotation thereof in said grip.

2. An egg beater comprising a plurality of bent wire loops, each loop having at the opposite ends thereof, retaining members; a holding plate for the ends of said loops, said plate providing recesses for receiving the retaining members; a cover plate for said holding plate for closing the recesses for said retaining members and for preventing the withdrawal of the same from said recesses; a handle remo ably attached to said holding and cover plates; a hand grip revolubly mounted on said handle permitting the free rotation thereof in said grip;

It will also be noted that if deand means for retaining in service the relation of said handle to said hand grip.

8. An egg beater comprising a plurality of bent wire loops, each loop having at the opposite ends thereof, retaining members; a holding plate for the ends of said loops, said plate providing recesses for receiving the retaining members; a cover plate for said holding plate for closing the recesses for said retaining members and for preventing the withdrawal of the same from said recesses; and a handle having a screw thread for attachment to said holding plate, said handle embodying a tube having a screw thread formed internally at the end thereof, a hand grip member revolubly mounted on said tube, and a screw plug operatively engaging the internal thread at the end of said tube, and having a cap for extending over the end of said grip member for preventing the removal therefrom of said tube.

41-. An egg beater comprising a plurality of bent wire loops, each loop having at the opposite ends thereof, small retaining balls; a holding plate for said loops, said plate providing a plurality of recesses, said recesses having edge passages and enlarged sockets at the inner ends of said passages for holding said balls, the wires of said loops being freely visible lengthwise through said recesses; a clamping plate for covering said recesses; and means for holding said clamping plate rigidly in position on said holding plate when in service, whereby the ends of said loops are free to move in all directions.
