Abstract

A stirring member for liquid suspensions in a sealed spray container. The stirring member is formed as an essentially spherical body which is provided along its jacket face with a number of ribs. These are arranged to increase the effects of the stirring activity as the stirring member moves through the liquid suspension.

Claims

1. An improved stirring member for a liquid suspension in a sealed spray container, said stirring member being in the form of an essentially spherical body, the improvement comprising a plurality of ribs on said stirring member, said ribs extending along the jacket face of said stirring member, said ribs designed to increase the effects of the stirring activity when said stirring member passes through the liquid suspension in said container.

2. An improved stirring member as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ribs on each half of said sphere depart from a point centrally on the surface of the respective half of the sphere and diverge longitudinally from said point towards the border line common to both halves of the sphere.

3. An improved stirring member as claimed in claim 2, wherein along said border line extends latitudinally a further rib interconnecting the rest of the ribs.
