Abstract

The disclosed multipurpose manual mixer is a new kitchen utensil in one piece comprised of a handle attached to a mixer to the other end, resembling a helicopter with propeller like plates. A multipurpose manual mixer with its entire structure in one piece made up of a long and uneven handle at one end and flat rectangular pieces with rounded corners, propellers like big and small, holed and un-holed attached vertically to a tubular body to the other end in continuous rows, parallel and separated from each other at equal distance. The multi flat rectangular pieces as mentioned and described above are all called plates. The body comprised of all plates big and small and attached vertically along to the cylindrical tubular part in the middle, is called ‘the mixer.’ In other words, ‘the mixer’ consists of multiple flat rectangular plates rounded in corners on one side, big and small, holed and un-holed and bound to each other by a receiving tubular part that also fits the handle. This invention called ‘multipurpose manual mixer’ has been specially designed in order to provide an improved manual mixer of simple, cheap, effective and readily reusable construction. It adds quality to the finishing product—food simple or complex and ends up to being a very useful tool in the kitchen.

Claims (7)

1. A multipurpose manual mixer comprising: a handle, which is a long, tapered, uneven, sculptured and round rod with a hole at its top end, wherein a long circular member can be inserted; and, attached to the lower end of the handle, a tubular body with twelve blades connected to and extending radially from said tubular body, wherein all twelve blades have a flat shape, wherein six of the blades are smaller in size and without holes and six of the blades are larger in size and comprising holes, wherein the lower edge of all the blades and the lower end of said handle are coplanar in that there is no gap under the blades and said handle when the multipurpose manual mixer stands up on a flat surface, with the lower edge of all the blades and the lower end of said handle facing said flat surface and said handle rising vertically, and wherein the lower edge of all the blades emanates radially from the tubular body.

2. The multipurpose manual mixer of claim 1 , wherein the mixer is made of a rigid material and the six blades that are smaller in size and without holes have different shape than, and are interposed between, the six blades that are larger in size and comprising holes; and wherein the shape of the six smaller blades resembles a right angle trapezium, having the upper edge slopped downward towards its distal end, and having the two distal corners rounded.

3. The multipurpose manual mixer of claim 1 , wherein the six blades that are larger in size have a height that is substantially four times greater than the height of the six blades that are smaller in size; wherein, each of the six larger blades have three holes; and wherein, the shape of the six larger blades resembles an imperfect rectangle having the entire upper side curved like a single stretched ‘S’, the distal side outwardly curved and the two distal corners rounded.

4. The multipurpose manual mixer of claim 1 , wherein said handle increases its thickness starting from its lower end, and, when approaching the top end, takes an oval shape resembling and egg, and, after decreasing for a while, it increases again finishing in a round top end having said hole that allows said long circular member to be inserted therein in order to provide a ‘T’ grip for an easier mixing of highly viscous materials, said hole also allowing easy storage by hanging the mixer on a hook.

5. The multipurpose manual mixer of claim 1 , wherein the holes in the six larger blades are circular in shape.

6. The multipurpose manual mixer of claim 1 , wherein the holes in the six larger blades are oval in shape.

7. The multipurpose manual mixer of claim 1 , wherein the mixer is made entirely of plastic.
