1-20. (canceled)
A whipping blade comprising:
- a body comprising a first side, a second side, a peripheral edge, and a plurality of apertures formed through the first side to the second side, wherein the peripheral edge is generally perpendicular with the first and second sides and the plurality of apertures are arranged in an X-shape on the body in line with a central point on the body;
- and
- a plurality of elongated apertures arranged on the body out of line with the central axis of the body, wherein the plurality of apertures and elongated apertures froth a liquid.
A whipping blade, comprising:
- a planar body comprising a first side, a second side, a plurality of apertures formed through the first side to the second side, and a plurality of elongated apertures formed through the first side to the second side,
- wherein a first set of apertures are arranged in line with a central point on the body and in line with a second set of apertures opposite the first set of apertures,
- wherein a first elongated aperture is arranged out of line with the central point on the body and out of line with a second elongated aperture opposite the first elongated aperture.
A whipping blade, comprising:
- a body comprising a first side, a second side, circular apertures formed through the first side to the second side, and cylindrical apertures formed through the first side to the second side,
- wherein the cylindrical apertures are larger than the circular apertures and the body includes more circular apertures than cylindrical apertures,
- wherein the circular apertures are arranged on the body in line with a central point on the body and the cylindrical apertures are arranged on the body out of line with the central axis of the body, and
- wherein the whipping blade is attachable to a drive shaft at a center of the whipping blade, wherein the drive shaft operatively rotates the whipping blade and produces a frothed liquid.
