Letters Patent No. 101,091, dated March 22, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

' The Schedule referred to in these LettersIatent and making part. of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, G. C. BROWN, of Atlanta in, the- In order to enable others skillediu the art to which` my invention appertaius to make and use'the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and opera# tion, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is' a plan view of the rod ofthe churn;

Figure 2 is a vertical section of the entire churn; and

Figure 3 is a perspective of the same.

Figure 4 is a horizontal section of the dasher.

A represents the churn, made round, and tapering upward, so as to be narrower at the top than at the bottom.

In the center of the bottom of the churn A is a small -socket or bearing, a., for the insertion ofthe lower end of the vertical shaft B, which passes upward through a tube, b, in the center of the lid c, said tube forming the upper bearing for the shaft.

Near the lower end, on the shaft B, is secured a circular plate, D, and at a suitable point on the said shaft above the circular plate is secured a cross formed of horizontal V-sliaped bars E E, which are connected with the plate D by means of vertical bars d d, said bars being either round, fiat, or square.

Between the series of bars d d the plate D is perforated with a round hole, as shown inlig. 4. The perforated circular plate D, vertical bars d d, and horizontal V-shaped bars E E form the churn-flasher.

Above the bars E, on the shaft B, is secured the ily G, which is formed vof a circular plate with wings curved upward, fora purpose that will be hereinafter set forth.

Upon the upper side of the lid C is the curved frame H, through the center of whichis passed a small shaft or journal, e, having at its lower end a cap or socket, j, which tits upon the upper end of the dasher-shaft B, and is so constructed that if said shaft or journal e v`is'revolved, the shaft B will also be turned.

At the upper cud of the journal e, above the frame H, is a pinion, l', which gears with a cog-wheel J, the journal or bearing of which is placed on the frame H, as seen in tig. 2.

From the upper side of the frame H, surrounding the pinion I, is another frame, K, which supports and forms the bearingfor a wheel, L. This wheel is provided with cogs on its inner periphery, and is so constructed that its periphery is down below the center, so that the cogs canv gear with the cog-wheel J, and thus, when the wheel is turned by the crank M, the

necessary rotary motion is communicated to the churn-l dasher.

In the lid or cover C is a tube, N, covered with a suit-able cap.

The but-ter that flies up around the inside of the churn above the milk is washed down by pouring water through the tube N in the cover. This` water passes onto the ily G, and is by the ily thrown all round the inside ot the churn while the dashcr is in motion, and washes down all small particles of butter. This saves time and trouble of detaching the cover for that purpose. I A

The butter is gathered on the dasher, as fast as it is made, by the dasher running one way only.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v :1. The combination and arrangement of thc shaft B, perforated plate D, vertical bars d d, horizontal bars E 1G, and iiy G, all substantially as and for the purposesherein set forth.

2.` The arrangement of the frames H K, wheels L J, crank M, and pinion I, all substantially as shown Vand described.

3. The combination and arrangement of the churn A, dasher B D d E, ily G, cover C, tube N, journal c, cap j, pinion I, wheels J L, and crank M, all coustructed as described, to operate substantially' .in the manner and for the purpose herein setforth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand' this 23d day of October, 1869. v
