Abstract
Abstract A fuel mixer, blender and container, said container being of a specific volume and having a spout through which the container is filled and from which contents in the container are dispensed. A stirring device for blending the fuel is rotatably mounted in the container and includes pairs of agitator blades mounted on a shaft and sloped in opposite directions relative to one another and inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft on which they are mounted. The shaft is journalled in the top and bottom walls and rotated by a crank detachably connected thereto. Deflector blades, fixed to the container walls, are located within the container and are sloped at an angle to the axis of the shaft. The spout is located to provide a selected volume providing proper proportions of fuel and oil in a mixture for a two-cycle internal combustion engine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
248 words
A fuel mixture blender and container combination comprising: a. a container having a top wall having a depression therein, a bottom wall and a side wall, a combined single outlet and inlet spout located in the depression in said top wall and having a terminal edge positioned to limit the quantity of liquid held by the container to a preselected specific amount; b. a plurality of deflectors secured to the side wall of said container and located within the container, in spaced relation relative to one another, each said deflector extending longitudinally along the side wall to which it is attached and at an angle relative to the plane of the bottom wall, said deflectors being curved and having a portion extending inwardly into the container to a greater extent than the remainder thereof; and c. a stirring device comprising a shaft journalled in said top wall and having respective portions located exteriorly and interiorly of the container, said exteriorly located portion having a crank secured directly thereto for rotating the shaft by hand and at least one pair of agitator blades secured to said interiorly located portion of the shaft, each said pair of agitator blades consisting of two planar elements located one on each of opposite sides of the shaft and inclined, in opposite directions with respect to one another and relative to the length of the shaft and terminating in an upwardly directed flange extending along the longitudinal marginal edge thereof remote from said shaft.
