Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
Mixing apparatus for fluent materials comprising a supply connection for a first supply of liquid, first mixing means comprising a rotary pump and a first circulating fluid connection connecting the delivery and suction portions of said rotary pump for continuous liquid circulation, means for delivering measured quantities of liquid from said first supply connection to said first mixing means, a supply connection for a second supply of liquid, means for delivering measured quantities of liquid from said second supply connection to said first mixing means, and a delivery connection for the liquid from said mixing means, the quantities of liquid supplied from said supply connections displacing a comparable quantity of liquid from said first mixing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
Mixing apparatus for fluent materials comprising a supply connection for a first supply of liquid, first mixing means comprising a rotary pump and a first circulating fluid connection connecting the delivery and suction portions of said rotary pump for continuous liquid circulation, means for delivering measured quantities of liquid from said first supply connection to said first mixing means, a supply connection for a second supply of liquid, means for delivering measured quantities of liquid from said second supply connection to said first mixing means, and a delivery connection for the liquid from said mixing means, the quantities of liquid supplied from said supply connections displacing a comparable quantity of liquid from said first mixing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
Mixing apparatus as defined in claim 1 having in addition a supply connection for an additional supply of liquid, means for delivering the liquid from said first mixing means to a second mixing means, and means for supplying a measured quantity of liquid from said additional supply of liquid to said second mixing means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
Mixing apparatus as defined in claim 1 in which said each of said means for delivering a measured quantity of liquid is a pump.
