Abstract
A mixing apparatus, which can prevent possibility of mixing nonuniformity and contamination, employs a small and simple mechanism, and is advantageous with respect to costs. A vessel is gripped and held from the right and left sides by a hand member. The hand member horizontally rotatable by an urging power of a coil spring at the bottom of a support member. A vibration motor comprises a DC coreless motor body and an eccentric weight, the weight being eccentrically mounted to a motor shaft of the motor body. The rotation of the weight allows the motor body to eccentrically rotate, whereby the support member conically revolves and vibrates. The weight has a semicircular cross section. The support member is connected to a mobile member for moving the support member through a resilient member to allow the conical revolution of the support member.
