Abstract: A cleaning device for cleaning a liquid contact part of a discharge device, the liquid contact part including an operating space in which a rod-like member is operated, and a supply flow path, the cleaning device including a compressed gas source, a cleaning fluid supply tank, a plurality of supply mechanisms that supply compressed gas and a cleaning fluid, a cleaning fluid collection tank, a liquid contact part fixing jig to which the plural supply mechanisms and the cleaning fluid collection tank are fluidly connected, and which accommodates the liquid contact part of the discharge device, and a control device, wherein the cleaning fluid is supplied to the liquid contact part fixing jig in accordance with pressure values, which are specified separately for the plural supply mechanisms, by the control device. The liquid contact part can be cleaned with a uniform flow without disassembling the liquid contact part.

Abstract: An automatic pot stirrer is provided that has a mount assembly. The mount assembly is mounted on a pot plate having slider clamps. The slider clamps engage the rim of the pot and are designed to accommodate differently dimensioned pots. The mount assembly supports a shaft that is operatively coupled to a motor at one end and threaded to a block at the other end. The block has opposed first and second block end walls and opposed first and second block paddle walls to which are connected paddles. The first and second block paddle walls may be disposed at about a forty-five degree angle to a second block end wall. The paddles are disposed at about a forty-five degree angle to the second block end wall such that the paddles lift food product from the bottom of the pot during operation of the automatic pot stirrer.

Abstract: A stirrer unit includes a reaction vessel having an inlet port, a shaft stirrer having a stirrer blade and a stirrer shaft connected to the stirrer blade, and an adapter defining a passage. The adapter is configured to be inserted into the inlet port and releasably fastened to the inlet port using a fastening device so that, in a connected state, the stirrer blade and a part of the stirrer shaft is disposed inside the reaction vessel. Furthermore, in the connected state, an immersion depth to which the stirrer shaft extends into the reaction vessel is adjustable and securable using a locking device in at least two positions that are spaced apart from one another.

Abstract: An automatic pot stirring device according to the invention includes a state of the art rechargeable battery, adjustable support arms, and a stirring paddle. An important aspect of the invention is that it can be used with various sizes of saucepans already in a cook's kitchen by adjusting the support arms and the stirring paddle. The device can be used and stored easily, and maintains an attractive design. There is no need for an electrical outlet nearby. Moreover, the device uses efficient engineering and parts to minimize manufacturing costs. The stirring paddle has a fluid dynamic design which assures efficient stirring.

Abstract: A food stirrer having a battery powered drive mechanism to drive a stirrer shaft with an end paddle, the stirrer shaft being axially adjustable in the housing for cooking vessels of different height, the housing including a pair of spring-biased side arms that have distal ends with handles and contact stops for seating the food stirrer on vessels of different diameter, the arms being off-set from a radial to the shaft to improve the grip of the arms on a vessel during operation.

Abstract: Disclosure relates to a self stirring, automatic device to overlie a cooking vessel, during conventional or microwave oven cooking. The device hereof includes a protective housing containing a wound, coiled spring, rotary mechanism. Aditionally, there is provided an adjustable system for mounting the protective housing to a variety of different sized cooking vessels, and an adjustable stirring mechanism.

Abstract: A food mixer includes a dual mount sensor arrangement which prevents operation of the mixer unless a protective safety guard is secured to the mounts. Each mount is physically spaced from each other so that a user must take extraordinary, and deliberate measures to circumvent the safety feature. The dual mount arrangement may be used in conjunction with a bowl lowering shut-off feature for disabling the mixer when the mixing bowl is lowered to a position where the user's safety is at risk.

Abstract: A modular mixer system which enables motor, transmission, bearing housing and impeller shaft components to be selected and combined as required for particular mixing applications. The components may be assembled to provide either direct drive from the motor to the impeller shaft contained in the bearing housing (without reduction gears), or through a gear transmission (with an interplate and intershaft where seal removal is required), and form a mixer drive subassembly. This subassembly is mounted on mounts which provide portability; these mounts having pivotal clamps for mounting the mixer system on the wall of a tank or the like. Various fixed mounts may also be used, which are in the form of plates or pedestals which rigidly connect the mixer system to a tank or beam above the tank. In all cases the bearing housing is common and forms the core to which the components of the drive assembly and the mount are connected.
