Abstract
Basket for machines for mixing and grinding a number of substances in order to produce uniform mixes, such as those used for paints, with the basket in question featuring along its perimeter a circular ring (1) bound at the inner and outer edges by micro-perforated walls (2 and 3), and with this ring functioning as a channel inside of which microspheres made of glass or of other suitable materials are placed; the central portion of the basket, when viewed from below, appears empty in the middle, with this space being bound along its perimeter by the circular channel (1).
Claims5
A basket for mixing and grinding substances to produce uniform mixes, comprising in combination:
- a basket comprising an internal circular ring shaped channel having a closed bottom wall, inner and outer micro-perforated side wall means, and an open top;
- micro-spheres within said ring shaped channel;
- a rotary drive shaft;
- a disc attached to said drive shaft for coaxial rotation with said ring shaped channel, said disk having micro-sphere rotating elements comprising a plurality of mixing elements perpendicular thereto extending downwardly into said channel and mixing slots in said disc;
- and
- a cover for closing the open top of said basket and passing said drive shaft therethrough;
- whereby rotation of said disc forcefully passes said mixes into and out of the basket through the side wall means to thereby encounter the rotation micro-spheres.
