<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mixing bowl for making smooth and solid foaming whipped cream of a beverage making device for making a beverage such as coffee, and a beverage making device equipped with the mixing bowl. <P>SOLUTION: A stirring mechanism 18 of the mixing bowl 10 is mounted near the top of an opening 11a, and fixed to a vertical shaft 20. The stirring mechanism 18 comprises a valve blade 23 with a blade plate 23a inclined to the rotation direction for taking air in from the opening 11a. By rotating the stirring mechanism 18, the rotating valve blade 23 forces out a mixture liquid and the centrifugal force is generated. The centrifugal force makes the liquid flow in the outer circumferential direction on the inner surface of a bowl body 11, and the liquid flow in the outer circumferential direction generates a negative pressure between the blade plate 23a and the inner surface of the bowl body 11. Air is taken in from the opening 11a by the negative pressure and the mixture liquid with bubbles is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
