Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 27, 1914. Serial No. 853,513.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN T. REESE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shipman, in the county of Nelson and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. v

Th s inventlon comprehends certaln new and useful improvements in churns and has for its primary object to provide anew and f improved form of churn which'will be of extremely simple construction and operation as well as highly efficient in use.

Another object of the inventlon is to provide a churn in which'will be included improved .form of shaft and sleeve with a dasher of simple construction mounted thereon and improvedmeans for supporting.-

' and operating the shaft and sleeve.

The invention has'for another object to provide a device of this character in Which the shaft and sleeve will be slidably engaged in the gear wheels mounted on the cover of the churn frame in the supporting casting carried by said cover or top of the churn frame, said gears being adapted'to be rotated in reverse directions to revolve the shaft and sleeve with the dasher carried thereby in reverse directions.

l Vith these and other objects in v'iewas will become more'apparent as the descrip-j tion proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as Willi be hereinafter more fully descrlbed and.

claimed;

For a complete understanding of my invcntion, reference is to be had to the follow ing description and accompanying draw 'ings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of the complete device, with the churn body in section, Fig.

Patented June 8, 1915;

and Fig, 6' is a fragmentary detail view partly in section.

Referring in detail to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates a churn'body proand provided with a central opening 3 for the shaft and sleeve which will be later fully described. suitable base 4* fromzwhich upwardly directed standards 5 extend andare braced at their lower portions by the angular brace The churn body 1 rests upon a .co vlded with a cover 2 of conventional form rods 6 connected therewith and with the base i. A suitable circular top frame member is mounted upon the upper ends of; the

flanges 5 and provided with a seat 8 formed by cutting away a portion of the material around the inner upper edge of said top frame member 7 to receive the opposite ends of the cross bar 9 which is secured against movement by the members 10 which are pivotally connected to the cross bar 9 by staples 11 or other suitable securing members and has the tongues 12 formed at their free ends forrengagement in staples 13 or the like projecting from the outer face of V the top frame member '7. It will beunderstood that the-tongues 12 may be formed-by making inwardly directed slots in one longi tudinal edge of the latch members 10,

Secured upon the upper face of the cross bar is the casting 1d,the base 15 of vwhich f rests upon'the crossbar 9, while the upper end 16 of said casting is spaced from the base thereof by the upstanding vertical members 17 of the casting, through which is 'rotatably mounted the operating shaft 18 having a handle'l19 formed uponflits outer end, while the beveled gear 20 is mounted upon the inner endrof said shaft and secured of said beveled gear 20. The beveled gear 20 is engaged with the upper beveled gear 23 and also the lower beveled gear 24L, as will be readily understood by referring to the drawings;

The upper upon the dasher shaft 25 and'has an annular flange" 26 which is rotatably mounted in the beveled gear 23 is mounted in position by set screws 21 or the like carried by the rearwardly directed flange 22 j free forwardly extremity'of the-upper end; 16 of the casting Hand prevented'moving longitudinally therein by means of the set screw 27 which is threaded in the outer eX- tremity of the end 16 and has its inner'end engaged in the annular groove 28 in said flange 26, thereby securely retaining the flange 26 and beveled gear 23 against vertical movement, allowing the same to freely rotate with the shaft 25, previously mentioned, to which the beveled gear 23 is securely fastened by the set screw 29, threaded in the flange 26 and adapted for engagement with the shaft The shaft as well as the sleeve 30 formed upon the same is held against clownward movement by meansof the collar 31 mounted upon the upper end of said shaft 25 and bearing upon the upper face of the iron 16, said collar 31 being secured to the dasher shaft 25 by the set screws 32, which will be readily understood by referring to the drawings.

- The sleeve 30 has its upper end terminating a short distance below the upper beveled gear 23, while its lower end terminates a spaced distance above the lower end of the shaft 25, said sleeve 30 being adapted to be rotated upon the shaft 25 by means of the beveled gear 24, previously mentioned which is engaged upon said sleeve 30 and locked for rotation therewith by the longitudinal ribs 33 formed on the outer face of the sleeve 30 and slidably engaged in a longitudinal groove 34 formed in the central bore of the lower beveled gear 24 and the depending flange 35 of said gear 24. It will be understood that the depending flange 35 of the lower beveled gear 24 depends through registering openings 36 in the base 15 of the casting 14 and in the transverse bar 9 and is prevented from moving upwardly by a collar 37 positioned upon its lower end and secured in position by a set screw 38 or the like. I

It will be readily seen that as the upper and

lower gears

23 and 24 are both rotated by causing reverse rotation of the shaft 25v and sleeve 30.

It will also cause a reverse rotation of the lower and upper dasher blades 39 and; 40

caused by the shaft 25 and sleeve 30 respec tively at the lower ends thereof. The Chi sher blades 39 are positioned at right angles and secured to the block 41 threaded upon the lower extremity of the shaft 25, as clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4, four blades 39 being employed. It will be apparent, however, that the blades may be positioned at different angles and any number of blades 39 may be employed, if desired, and each blade is preferably provided with at least one opening 42 in its extended portion through which the contents of the churn may be forced as the blades rotate to agitate said contents.

The dasher blades 40 are preferably positioned oppositely to the blades 39 and are secured to the sides of the sleeve 30 at the lower end thereofin any suitable manner, as shown at 42, and I prefer to use the same number of blades 40 for the sleeve 30.

It will be apparent that the lower end of the sleeve 30 bears upon the upper face of the block 41 during operation of the device, and it will be understood that the sleeve 30 as well as the shaft 25 may be readily removed by moving the same downwardly after loosening the set screw 32, of the collar 31.

When operation of the device has been continued, the latch members 10 may be readily disengaged from the staples 13 and the cross bar 9 with the casting 14 and all of the parts mounted therein raised until the

dasher blades

39 and 40 are removed from the churn body 1, it being understood? will be understood that minor changes in: the details of construction, comblnatlo-n and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed, or sacrificing any of. the advantages thereof.

What is claimed is A churn including-a shaft, a squared block.

secured upon the lower extremity of said? shaft, dasher blades secured to the sides of. said squared block at right angles to one another and: extended in corresponding directions with the inner vertical edge of each blade resting against the inner face of an adjacent blade, a sleeve rotatably mounted; upon said shaft and adapted to rotate upon the upper end of said squared block, and dasher blades on opposite sides of' said sleeve adjacent the lower end thereof and 0X tending at right angles to one another, the last mentioned blades being extended in 0 3-- posi'te directions from the directions in which the first mentioned blades are extended, the inner vertical edge of each of the second mentioned blades being engaged against the inner face of one of the adjacent second mentioned blades and is secured to 7 W.
