  • Patent number: 4949497
    Abstract: The shaft consists of zinc plated steel. A rubber clamp consisting of an O-ring is placed on the shaft by using finger pressure. A nylon washer is then placed on the shaft. The nylon spool with cut-glass beads therein is then placed on the shaft, followed by a nylon washer and a rubber O-ring clamp. A rubber end cap is then placed over the end of the shaft. To enable the device to have the weight distributed to the bottom of a 5-gallon pail for more stability, the shaft is longer at the bottom and is bent at a 130-degree angle and needs only to be placed into a 5-gallon pail for support. The sleeve mounted device has a shorter shaft and is bent at a 90-degree angle. A nylon sleeve is held in a vertical position by a two-hole clamp. The shaft of the device fits into the nylon sleeve and provides ease of swiveling the device from side to side. The device may be removed from the sleeve by lifting the shaft out of the sleeve.
