Examiner: Jenkins; Robert W. , Agent or Firm: Cushman, Darby & Cushman is claimed is:

. A magnetic type agitator comprising: magnetic agitator element disposed inside a magnetically permeable vessel; magnetic rotating plate rotatably disposed below a bottom of said vessel for driving said magnetic agitator and thereby agitating liquid inside of said vessel by rotating said magnetic rotating plate; and ultrasonic vibrating element fixed to the bottom of said vessel; said magnetic rotating plate being placed so as to permit the magnetic force from said magnetic rotating plate to effect said magnetic agitating element, thereby permitting simultaneous agitation and ultrasonic vibration of said liquid in said vessel.

. A magnetic type agitator according to claim 1, wherein said vessel includes an interior space, a container being disposed in said interior space, said container containing said liquid, and said magnetic agitating element being disposed within said container and wherein an annular space defined between said vessel and said container is filled with a medium which permits transmission of ultrasonic vibration.

. Magnetic type agitator according to claim 2 wherein said vessel is integrally formed with the body of said agitator.

. Magnetic type agitator according to claim 3 further including a plurality of containers disposed in said interior space of said vessel.

. Magnetic type agitator according to claim 1 or 2 wherein said ultrasonic vibrating element 4 is an electrostriction vibrating element.

. Magnetic type agitator according to claim 1 further including a plurality of vessels each having an ultrasonic vibrating element disposed on a bottom thereof, said magnetic rotating plate being placed so as to permit the magnetic force from said magnetic rotating plate to effect said magnetic agitation element, thereby permitting simultaneous agitation and ultrasonic vibration of said liquid in each said vessel.

. A magnetic type agitator comprising: magnetically permeable vessel filled with a liquid to be agitated; magnetic agitator element disposed in said liquid within said vessel and positioned on the bottom of said vessel for free motion thereof; magnetic driver provided below the bottom of said vessel and establishing a magnetic field across said magnetic agitating element, said magnetic driver rotating said magnetic element within said liquid for promoting agitation of said liquid; and ultrasonic vibration driver being in cooperation with said vessel for transmitting ultrasonic vibration to said vessel for inducing ultrasonic vibration in said liquid.

. A magnetic type agitator comprising: magnetically permeable vessel filled with a liquid to be agitated; magnetic agitator element disposed in said liquid within said vessel and positioned on the bottom of said vessel for free motion thereof; magnetic driver provided below the bottom of said vessel and establishing a magnetic field across said magnetic agitating element, said magnetic driver rotating said magnetic element within said liquid for promoting agitation of said liquid; and ultrasonic vibration driver disposed between the bottom of said vessel and said magnetic driver for transmitting ultrasonic vibration to said vessel for inducing ultrasonic vibration in said liquid.

. A magnetic type agitator comprising: magnetic permeable vessel filled with a liquid to be agitated; magnetic agitator element disposed in said liquid within said vessel and positioned on the bottom of said vessel for free motion thereof; magnetic driver provided below the bottom of said vessel and establishing magnetic field across said magnetic agitating element, said magnetic driver rotating said magnetic element within said liquid for promoting agitation of said liquid; and ultrasonic vibration driver being in cooperation with said vessel for transmitting ultrasonic vibration to said vessel for inducing ultrasonic vibration in said liquid simultaneously with agitation by said magnetic agitator element.

. Magnetic type agitator according to claim 7, 8 or 9, wherein said liquid includes a pulverized materia
