A food mixer () includes a rotatable shaft () which is connected to the shaft () of an agitator (). The agitator () includes an upper disk () attached to the shaft () and a lower disk (). Slat walls () extend from the upper disk () to the lower disk () and slat walls () are curved so as to together forming a parabolic ring. A central blade () extends from the upper disk () to the lower disk () between the slat walls (). Both the upper and lower disks () are circular and are curved upwardly in one direction and curved downwardly in a direction transverse to the one direction.

Food mixing machine and agitator therefor

A food mixing machine () has a rotatable shaft () which is attached to the shaft () of an agitator (). The shaft () carries a ring () and a disk (), and the ring () carries a cloverleaf-shaped chip (). The chip () has opposed, generally flat lobes () with the opposed lobes () positioned between the lobes (). The lobes () are inclined relative to the lobes (). Cutout areas () are formed between the lobes (), and as the agitator () is being rotated by the shaft (), a leading edge () on the lobes () at the cutout areas () contacts the food being mixed. The leading edges () have a larger radius of curvature than the trailing edges () on each lobe ().
