  • Patent number: 5544960
    Abstract: A generally spherical body having a cluster of facets produced by truncation of the sphere, used for agitating and stirring solid foodstuffs in powdered form with liquid foodstuffs within a container. The removal of material to create the facets unbalances the stirring object, so that it gyrates unpredictably to produce a high degree of mixing turbulence. The facets further collide and slide together to help grind agglomerated lumps of the solid material within the mix. The stirrers have no nooks and crannies for deposit of foodstuffs, and so are easily washed and cleaned for subsequent uses. In one version, the body is of dense homogeneous material such as steel. In another version, the body has a dense object such as of steel embedded within a hard durable plastic outer portion carrying the abovementioned facets.

  • Patent number: 5376758
    Abstract: A speaker cable assembly having sets of conductors braided about an enlarged flexible core assembly. The enlarged core assembly allows distant spacing of the individual conductors to minimize electromagnetic field interactions to cause signal anomalies. The conductors are spirally wound about the flexible core and held in place by a potted layer of plastic. The core is preferably filled with lead shot to provide weight to insure stability during use and operation.
