drawoh,
Can you elaborate a bit on that? The pot would assumed to be sitting on a typical home stove, so I'm not sure where the rest of the mechanisms would rest at.

Thank you for the suggestion! Yes, one of the other aspects of our design is to have adjustable shaft of the beaters, possibly it being telescopic. The only problem I can see with that is that it might be difficult to adjust during when placed inside the pot with food in it, but we're...

That's a possibility, but the goal is for extended usage for long period of time, such as auto stirring a pot of candy. So, I'm thinking a classical hinge attached to two boards that unfolds to 90 degrees before being clamped to the side of the pot with a threaded screw.
That design was an example I found, not the final result I'm going for. But yes, I am aiming to keep the adjusting arms to be smooth in a hinge-like system. The only problem that has been brought up is that the weight of the base would cause the hinge to cave in slightly from extended usage.
Well, the main idea of the project is to have more adjustability than the auto pot stirrer on the market i.e. the stirio or robo stir. So, most auto pot stirrer have a top down design where the clamps are attached to the side of the pot to maintain stability of the base where the motor is held...
Hi,
I'm working on a design for a food stirrer that is clamped to the top of the cooking pot with a motor-system as the middle base. I'm thinking of using three equal distance threaded "arms" with a clip attached to the end to hold onto the side of the pot. However, I want to make the arms...
