Official abstract text for this publication.
An agitating and mixing device 1 of the present invention includes a container 2 for storing the composition, an agitating member 3 for agitating the composition, which is inserted in the container 2 , and a driving device 4 for vibrating the container 2 . The agitating member 3 has a rod-like portion 32 having one end portion and another end portion, a plate-like portion 31 provided on the one end portion of the rod-like portion 32 and the grip portion 33 provided on the other end portion of the rod-like portion 33 . The plate-like portion 31 is perpendicular to the rod-like portion 32 . The agitating member 3 is configured to agitate the composition by spacing the plate-like portion 31 apart from the bottom surface of the container 2.

What is claimed is: 1. An agitating and mixing device for mixing a composition containing plural kinds of pulverized materials, each of the pulverized materials having a different specific gravity, the agitating and mixing device comprising: a container for storing the composition, the container having a bottom surface; a plurality of agitating members for agitating the composition, each of the agitating members having a plate-like portion and inserted in the container so that the plate-like portion of each of the agitating members is placed on the bottom surface of the container; and a driving device for vibrating the container, wherein the agitating and mixing device is configured to agitate the composition stored in the container using the agitating members and then to mix the composition by vibrating the container using the driving device, and wherein the agitating members are configured to agitate the composition when each of the agitating members is pulled up one by one from the bottom surface of the container. 2. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plate-like portions of the agitating members placed on the bottom surface of the container form the same shape as the bottom surface of the container. 3. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the agitating members has a rod-like portion having one end portion and another end portion, and the plate-shape portion of each of the agitating members is provided on the one end portion of the rod-like portion of each of the agitating members. 4. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the plate-shape portion of each of the agitating members is perpendicular to the rod-like portion of each of the agitating members. 5. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driving device is configured to simultaneously vibrate the container in at least two directions. 6. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least an inner surface of the container is constituted of a nonmetallic material. 7. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least an outer surface of the agitating member is constituted of a nonmetallic material. 8. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition contains a resin particle and an inorganic particle as the plural kinds of pulverized materials. 9. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition is stored in the container in a state that the composition is separated into a first layer which is placed on the plate-like portions of the agitating members and contains a resin particle and a second layer which is placed on the first layer and contains an inorganic particle and then the composition is agitated by pulling up one by one the agitating members from the bottom surface of the container. 10. The agitating and mixing device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the container contains the composition so that a specific gravity of the first layer is less than a specific gravity of the second layer.
