Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for admixing a deodorizing liquid with a bad smelling liquid, comprises a hollow body in the form of a Y lying on its side in a vertical plane, the lower leg of the Y discharging the admixed liquids and the upper leg of the Y supporting and housing conduits for supplying the deodorizing liquid lengthwise of the body to dispensers therefor located adjacent the lower end of the body. A fixed shaft within the body has partitions secured thereto that are comprised by a plurality of blades and are oppositely inclined for initially mixing the two liquids. Above these partitions, a rotary helicoidal turbine is rotated by a turbine shaft that extends through the upper leg of the Y.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
Apparatus for admixing a deodorizing liquid with a bad smelling liquid, comprising a generally Y-shaped hollow body comprised by a base having an upper and a lower end, a first leg and a second leg, and said legs meeting the base at an angle to each other, means supporting the Y-shaped body in an inclined position with the base and the first leg at an acute angle to a horizontal and the second leg below said first leg, the base and the legs intersecting in a vertical plane, means for introducing a deodorizing liquid into the lower end of the base, fixed mixing means within the base above said introducing means for admixing the deodorizing liquid and the bad smelling liquid, rotatable mixing means above the fixed mixing means in said body, an inclined shaft having a lower and an upper end extending coaxially through said first leg for rotating said rotatable mixing means, said fixed mixing means supporting the lower end of said shaft, and means at the upper end of said shaft for rotating said shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
Apparatus for admixing a deodorizing liquid with a bad smelling liquid, comprising a generally Y-shaped hollow body comprised by a base having an upper and a lower end, a first leg and a second leg, and said legs meeting the base at an angle to each other, means supporting the Y-shaped body in an inclined position with the base and the first leg at an acute angle to a horizontal and the second leg below said first leg, the base and the legs intersecting in a vertical plane, means for introducing a deodorizing liquid into the lower end of the base, fixed mixing means within the base above said introducing means for admixing the deodorizing liquid and the bad smelling liquid, rotatable mixing means above the fixed mixing means in said body, an inclined shaft having a lower and an upper end extending coaxially through said first leg for rotating said rotatable mixing means, said fixed mixing means supporting the lower end of said shaft, and means at the upper end of said shaft for rotating said shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, said rotatable mixing means comprising a helicoidal turbine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, and further comprising oppositely inclined baffles in said second leg for further mixing said bad smelling liquid and said deodorizing liquid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, said legs being at an acute angle to each other and said second leg being horizontal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
101 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, and means supporting the upper end of said inclined shaft for rotation in said first leg, said supporting means comprising a roller bearing with a double ball race that rotatably receives and supports the upper end of said shaft, two sealing rings carried by said first leg and sealing against said shaft on one side of said roller bearing, and two sealing rings carried by said one leg and sealing against said shaft on the other side of said roller bearing so as to permit said apparatus to operate under either positive or negative pressure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, said fixed mixing means comprising a fixed shaft, and spaced inclined blades secured to said fixed shaft and to the interior of said base.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 6, said inclined blades being oppositely inclined to each other.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 6, said introducing means comprising a chamber with multiple outlets secured to the lower end of said fixed shaft.
