Claims2
A container stirring device comprising:
- a stirring implement for positioning within a container;
- an articulating means coupled to the stirring implement and portably positionable adjacent the container for oscillating the stirring implement within the container wherein the articulating means comprises a support base;
- a weight positioned within the support base;
- a vertical stanchion projecting from the support base and terminating in an upper distal end;
- an arm receiver mounted to the upper distal end of the vertical stanchion and including an aperture directed therethrough;
- a stirring arm projecting through the aperture of the arm receiver and thereinto so as to reside partially within the arm receiver, said stirring arm having an inner end and outer distal end;
- motor means for effecting oscillation of the stirring arm relative to the arm receiver wherein the motor means comprises a motor including a motor shaft projecting into the arm receiver;
- a crank coupled to the motor shaft within the arm receiver and including an eccentric crank rod rotatably coupled to the inner end of the stirring arm;
- a control switch electrically connected to the motor and electrically coupled to a battery;
- and a coupling means mounted to the outer distal end of the stirring arm for coupling the stirring implement to the outer distal end of the stirring arm.
