IMPROVEMENT IN EGG-BEATERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 138,647, dated May 6, 1873 app 1 ation filed February 8, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ETHAN HADLEY, of

Ohicopee Falls, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Egg-Beaters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawing is a representation of a perspective View of my egg-beater. Figs. 2 and 3 are details of the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in what is known as the Dover egg-beater, consistin g of a bent rod, with its ends attached to ahandle, and two other rods of similar form revolving around it by means of a bevel-gear wheel and pinions and my invention consists in the peculiar construction of the pinions, as hereinafter particularly described. I

In the drawing, A represents a round metallic rod or wire, which is bent midway of its length so as to form two right angles, a a, from half an inch to an inch apart. The ends are then curved outward and inward until they form nearly a full circle from two to three inches in diameter, from the circumference of which, at points opposite the two right angles a a, they extend radially for a suitable distance, and have their ends secured in a handle, B. G 0 represent two flat bars or strips of metal, which are bent in the same form as the rod A, and have their upper ends attached to pinions D D. In the curved portion of each bar 0 is a hole, through which one end of the rod A is passed until the perforated portion rests immediately over the angle a. The upper portions of the rod A form the bearings for the pinions D, being passed through said pinions before being attached I the handle B. The pinions are operated by a 1 ear-wheel, E, having its bearings on an ar 1 b, projecting from the handle. 1

Heretofore the pinions D D I ve been made of soft metal, such as Babbitti etal, or some similar composition, and the ba O 0 attached to them by inserting the ends 1| the mold and pouring the metal around the It has been found, in practic, that the softmetal pinions were not durab f. enough, but would soon become so much torn as to be comparatively useless. To re I dy this defect I make the pinion of cast-ironj r other suitable hard metal, with a poly onal opening through the center, as shown f i Fig. 3, and I attach the ends of the bars 0 Li a soft-metal plug, F, corresponding in size, n d form with the opening in the pinion, and, having a central perforation for the rod A t pass through. This plug is constructed with urs or lugs on its outer surface adapted to pa through corresponding openings in the b O, and hold them in position as shown. Sa l plug is fitted to the pinion, and the parts ar ranged as above described. 1

What I claim as new, and sire to se e by Letters Patent, is i As an improvement on th 1 Dover Eggof two witnesses. 1
