Abstract
A mixer () includes a coupler () receiving an upper end of a shaft () rotatably connected to an offset pin () of a circulating plate () mounted to a rotatable output () of a motor (). The shaft () is slideably mounted by a linear bearing () to a swivel plate () which is mounted to swivel relative to a support rod (). Due to the non-parallel angle (C) of the offset pin () to the rotatable output (), the shaft () and a paddle () mounted thereto moves up and down, rotates about the offset pin () and swivels at swivel angles (A, B) in first and second planes in a multi-direction which is angular and non true circular.
