Patent number: 4711582Abstract: A mixing device and method wherein liquids are rotatingly mixed in a disposable plastic bag mounted in and outer receptacle. The bag is provided with extending portions which overlap the open top of the outer receptacle. The interior sidewalls of the outer receptacle are inwardly sloping defining a truncated conical interior. When the bag is filled with liquid to be mixed the bag conforms to the sidewalls and does not twist around a rotating mixing element disposed through the open tops of the bag and outer receptable for mixing the contents of the bag. The mixing element is centered in the bag by a cap-like cylindrical structure that engages the top of the outer receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1986Date of Patent: December 8, 1987Inventor: Richard B.
