(54) Improved agitator device


(57) "IMPROVED AGITATOR DEVICE", of the type used in analysis laboratories for the measurement of times of formation of coagulation in studies of blood haemostasia, which incorporates within it a magnetised agitator bar (3) in a basically cylindrical form, characterised essentially because the cylindrical magnetised bar (3) is actioned by a magnet (4) which is located at one side of the interior of a support (10) on which the receptacle (2) is placed, the said magnet (4) presenting a vertical orientation of the magnetic poles, which means that, through the magnetic field, the magnetised bar (3) is positioned vertically, comprising a motor (5) on the shaft of which (6) the support (10) is fixed, which incorporates laterally within it the magnet (4), presenting a motion which causes a circular movement of the bar (3) of the receptacle (2).
