ABSTRACT:
A mechanical stirring device for agitating and mixing fluids in a container, such as a cooking pot or pan, includes a self-contained drive mechanism which is releasably attachable to a stirrer element projecting into and resting on the bottom of the container. The drive mechanism includes a rotatable drive element which seats on the edge of the container rim to impart motion to the entire stirring device about a vertical axis through the midpoint of the container. The stirrer element includes a main frame member having a pair of spaced, generally parallel uprights and a mixing frame region. A pair of lateral stabilizer legs is attached to the stirrer frame and rests on the bottom of the container to laterally stabilize the stirring device as it rotates about the container axis. A wiper element in the shape of an inverted-V is also attached to the stirrer frame and rests on the container bottom to agitate and skim fluid from the container bottom to prevent scorching. The drive mechanism further includes a pair of beveled surfaces which are insertable between knurls on the uprights to provide a quick-attachment, quick-release feature.
