Abstract
Abstract An agitator device for use in a reactor tank having a longitudinal shaft that is journaled in the tank and oscillated by an external power source. A hub assembly composed of an upper and lower cylindrical portion support a blade holder which is adjustable about an axis that is normal to the axis of the shaft. The upper and lower cylindrical portions of the hub assembly are clamped together to secure the blade holder in its adjusted position. The blade is pivotally adjustable on the blade holder about an axis that is normal to the axis of rotation or adjustment of the blade holder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
An agitator device for a reactor tank having a longitudinally extending shaft that is subject to being oscillated about its longitudinal axis, a hub assembly fixedly mounted on said shaft, wherein said hub assembly has an upper cylindrical portion and a lower cylindrical portion, each of said cylindrical portions having a pair of complimentary arcuate recesses defining a pair of adjacent stepped bores with a common axis, means for securing said hub assembly on said shaft, a blade holder mounted on said hub assembly, said blade holder having a pair of adjacent cylindrical portions received by said adjacent stepped bores, and said blade holder being rotatably adjustable in said adjacent stepped bores about said common axis. Lock means on said hub assembly for fixedly securing said blade holder in its rotative adjusted position on said hub assembly, and a blade securely mounted on said blade holder wherein said blade is rotatably adjustably mounted on said blade holder about an axis that is normal to said axis of said hub assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
An agitator device for a reactor tank having a longitudinally extending shaft that is subject to being oscillated about its longitudinal axis, a hub assembly fixedly mounted on said shaft, wherein said hub assembly has an upper cylindrical portion and a lower cylindrical portion, each of said cylindrical portions having a pair of complimentary arcuate recesses defining a pair of adjacent stepped bores with a common axis, means for securing said hub assembly on said shaft, a blade holder mounted on said hub assembly, said blade holder having a pair of adjacent cylindrical portions received by said adjacent stepped bores, and said blade holder being rotatably adjustable in said adjacent stepped bores about said common axis. Lock means on said hub assembly for fixedly securing said blade holder in its rotative adjusted position on said hub assembly, and a blade securely mounted on said blade holder wherein said blade is rotatably adjustably mounted on said blade holder about an axis that is normal to said axis of said hub assembly.
