Culinary whisk with coated wires and handle

A method of making a culinary whisk by securing a plurality of coated wires to a handle, comprising the steps of:

• forming a handle with an axis and with a tapered wall presenting a cavity in one end thereof and concentric to said axis and with a threaded opening extending from said cavity and terminating within said handle,
• placing a frusto-conical insert into said cavity to be in contact with said wires,
• coating a plurality of said wires completely throughout their lengths with an elastomer coating,
• placing coated end lengths of said coated wires into said cavity and only along said tapered wall and having said wires extend from said handle,
• applying a screw through said insert and into said handle threaded opening and along said axis to hold said insert on said handle and against said coated wires, and
• presenting a head with a slot on said screw in a position to be accessible by a screwdriver projecting past said wires and into said cavity, and
• tightening said screw and compressing said coating for clamping said wires against said tapered wall and thereby into clamped securement between said handle and said insert upon tightening said screw in said threaded opening.

A culinary whisk comprising:

• an elongated handle having an axis and a length and two oppositely disposed end lengths on said axis and with a first one of said end lengths having a tapered wall concentric with said axis and defining a cavity and having a threaded blind hole terminating completely within said first one of said end lengths of said handle and a second one of said end lengths including a weight embedded therein and being completely enclosed by said handle,
• a tapered insert disposed in said cavity and having an exterior wall radially disposed relative to said axis and at a taper angle extending parallel to said handle tapered wall to thereby match said handle tapered wall and with said insert being completely spaced from said handle,
• a plurality of whisk wires having terminal ends disposed in the radial space between said insert and said handle and with said wires extending from said handle, and
• a screw disposed in said cavity and said threaded hole and being threadedly connected between said insert and said first end length of said handle for securing said insert with said handle and thereby urging said insert toward said handle and thereby clamping said wires in the radial space between said insert and said handle and only onto said tapered walls.

A culinary whisk comprising:

• an elongated handle having an axis and a tapered wall concentric with said axis and defining a cavity,
• a tapered insert disposed in said cavity and having an exterior wall radially disposed relative to said axis and at a taper angle extending parallel to said handle tapered wall to thereby match said handle tapered wall and with said insert being completely spaced from said handle,
• a plurality of whisk wires disposed in the radial space between said insert and said handle and with said wires extending from said handle,
• said handle having a plurality of grooves extending in the longitudinal plane of said axis and being spaced around and at the angulation of said handle tapered wall and having
• an end adjacent the exterior of said handle and respectively snugly receiving said wires for the clamping of said wires,
• an additional groove on said handle at said end of each of said angulated grooves and being disposed parallel to said axis and supporting said wires in an orientation parallel to said axis, and
• a screw disposed in said cavity and being threadedly connected between said insert and said handle for securing said insert with said handle and thereby urging said insert toward said handle and thereby clamping said wires in the radial space between said inset and said handle and only onto said tapered walls.

A culinary whisk comprising:

• a handle having a longitudinal axis and a taper-shaped cavity extending concentrically relative to said axis and into an end of said handle and being tapered inwardly in its extent into said handle and presenting a tapered wall defining said cavity and said handle having a threaded hole extending from said cavity and along said axis and terminating within said handle as a blind hole within said handle,
• a plurality of elongated wires having terminal ends extending only straight along the lengths of said wires and terminating in a straight length disposed only parallel to said tapered wall and being disposed in said taper-shaped cavity and with said wires extending outwardly from said cavity in loop formation,
• an abutment member disposed in said taper-shaped cavity and having a taper-shaped outer wall with a taper parallel to said handle tapered wall and with said outer wall being in contact with said wire terminal ends only in a direction transverse to said axis and said abutment member having a hole therethrough along said axis, and
• a screw in said threaded hole and having a head engaged with said abutment member and having a screw slot facing toward said loop formation of said wires and being completely disposed within said threaded hole and said cavity and free of any extent beyond said threaded hole and said cavity and being threadedly movable axially of said handle for urging said abutment member axially of said handle to where said abutment member taper-shaped outer wall is pressed against said wire terminal ends only in the direction transverse to said axis and thereby clinch said wire terminal ends against both said taper-shaped walls and thereby secure said wires in respective fixed positions with said handle.
