Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
In a stirring apparatus of the helical ribbon type of the class comprising a tank, a rotary shaft vertically disposed in said tank, and a plurality of helical ribbon type impeller blades mounted on said rotary shaft, the improvement wherein: the ratio of the width of each impeller blade to the diameter of the impeller is made to be from 1.5/10 to 3/10 and the impeller blade has defined therein one or more openings having an opening ratio expressed by a relation 0.59/3√D < opening ratio < 2.28/3√D, where D represents the diameter of the impeller and the opening ratio is the ratio of the area of the opening to the total area of a helical ribbon type blade containing said opening, and said openings take the form of a slot extending in the direction of the length of the ribbon shaped blade.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
