Abstract
Abstract In a magnet stirring apparatus comprising a base which includes a plurality of magnet coils and onto which respective vessels can be placed, said vessels being made of a non-magnetic material and each containing a magnetic stirring bar as well as the liquid to be stirred, the stability of the stirring operation within a wide range of lengths of stirring bars and of adjusted rotational speeds is achieved by pole shoes which are long straggling in the radial direction toward one center.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A magnetic stirring apparatus comprising: a base for supporting a vessel containing a magnetic stirring bar and liquid to be stirred; electromagnet means having: poles located opposite each other in a plurality of pairs; exciting coils; and, means for feeding current to said exciting coils for producing a magnetic field of variable magnitude at the individual poles; a plurality of pairs of pole shoes, each pole shoe having first and second pole shoe ends and an intermediate portion wherein each first pole shoe end is connected to a corresponding pole located in a first plane; and, each intermediate portion extends radially, inwardly and upwardly from its associated first pole shoe end to its associated second pole shoe end; each of said second pole shoe ends being separated from adjacent pole shoe ends by a narrow gap and located in a plane above the plane of its associated first pole shoe end; said pole shoes thereby extending radially inwardly from said poles and toward a common center so that all of said second pole shoe ends are located in substantially the same plane as the upper side of said base.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
189 words
A magnetic stirring apparatus comprising: a base for supporting a vessel containing a magnetic stirring bar and liquid to be stirred; electromagnet means having: poles located opposite each other in a plurality of pairs; exciting coils; and, means for feeding current to said exciting coils for producing a magnetic field of variable magnitude at the individual poles; a plurality of pairs of pole shoes, each pole shoe having first and second pole shoe ends and an intermediate portion wherein each first pole shoe end is connected to a corresponding pole located in a first plane; and, each intermediate portion extends radially, inwardly and upwardly from its associated first pole shoe end to its associated second pole shoe end; each of said second pole shoe ends being separated from adjacent pole shoe ends by a narrow gap and located in a plane above the plane of its associated first pole shoe end; said pole shoes thereby extending radially inwardly from said poles and toward a common center so that all of said second pole shoe ends are located in substantially the same plane as the upper side of said base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The magnetic stirring apparatus of claim 1 including magnetically-active filling pieces located in the narrow gaps between said second pole shoe ends in the same plane as the upper side of said base.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
232 words
A magnetic stirring apparatus comprising: a base for supporting a plurality of vessels, each containing a magnetic stirring bar and a liquid to be stirred; electromagnet means having: poles located opposite each other in a plurality of pairs; exciting coils; and, means for feeding current to said exciting coils for producing a magnetic field of variable magnitude at each of said individual poles; a plurality of pairs of pole shoes, each pole shoe having a pole-shoe-connecting portion, a pole shoe end, and an intermediate portion wherein each pole-shoe-connecting portion is connected to a corresponding pole located in a first plane; and, each intermediate portion extends radially, inwardly and upwardly from its associated pole-shoe-connecting portion to its associated pole shoe end; each of said pole shoe ends being separated from adjacent pole shoe ends by a narrow gap and located in a plane above the plane of its associated pole-shoe-connecting portion; said pole shoes extending radially inwardly from said poles toward common centers so that all of said pole shoe ends are located in substantially the same plane as the upper side of said base; and, wherein, the electromagnet means and the corresponding poles are further arranged in groups of said electromagnet means and groups of said poles so that a plurality of stirring locations are provided on the upper side of said base for stirring operations in a plurality of supported vessels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
232 words
A magnetic stirring apparatus comprising: a base for supporting a plurality of vessels, each containing a magnetic stirring bar and a liquid to be stirred; electromagnet means having: poles located opposite each other in a plurality of pairs; exciting coils; and, means for feeding current to said exciting coils for producing a magnetic field of variable magnitude at each of said individual poles; a plurality of pairs of pole shoes, each pole shoe having a pole-shoe-connecting portion, a pole shoe end, and an intermediate portion wherein each pole-shoe-connecting portion is connected to a corresponding pole located in a first plane; and, each intermediate portion extends radially, inwardly and upwardly from its associated pole-shoe-connecting portion to its associated pole shoe end; each of said pole shoe ends being separated from adjacent pole shoe ends by a narrow gap and located in a plane above the plane of its associated pole-shoe-connecting portion; said pole shoes extending radially inwardly from said poles toward common centers so that all of said pole shoe ends are located in substantially the same plane as the upper side of said base; and, wherein, the electromagnet means and the corresponding poles are further arranged in groups of said electromagnet means and groups of said poles so that a plurality of stirring locations are provided on the upper side of said base for stirring operations in a plurality of supported vessels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The magnetic stirring apparatus of claim 51 including magnetically-active filling pieces located in the narrow gaps between said pole shoe ends in the same plane as the upper side of said base.
