Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for mixing substances, such as paint. The apparatus includes an elongate member with a plurality of openings formed within it. A filament is threaded through the openings creating bights between openings. The bights and ends of the filament sweep through the substance when the elongate member is rotated, which works to mix the substance.
Claims20
An apparatus for mixing comprising:
- an elongate member having a first end, a second end, a longitudinal axis, and a first section at the first end, the first section having a circular cross-section or regular-hexagonal cross-section about the longitudinal axis, the circular cross-section having a first diameter for the entirety of the circular cross-section, or the regular-hexagonal cross-section having a first long diagonal for the entirety of the regular-hexagonal cross-section;
- at least one opening formed through the elongate member;
- and
- a separate filament corresponding to each at least one opening, each separate filament disposed within the corresponding opening, each separate filament extending from at least one side of the at least one opening.
