Willis Johnson Invented the Egg Beater

African American, Willis Johnson of Cincinnati, Ohio, patented an improved mechanical egg beater (U.S. pat# 292,821) on February 5, 1884. In fact, what Willis Johnson had really invented was an early mixing machine and not just an egg beater. He had designed his egg beater and mixer for eggs, batter, and other baker's ingredients. It was a double acting machine with two chambers. Batter could be beaten in one section and eggs could be beaten in another section, or one section could be cleaned while the other section could continue beating.

  2. This information seems to be plagiarized, the link of what seems to be the real article is https://www.thoughtco.com/willis-johnson-egg-beater-4072139 so if you want to go to the website with the information for other facts on Willie Johnson you can go there.
