'1 and 2, the guard rail has its ends turned oppositely from each other and secured upon' theupperface alt'tlfe ends of the supporting rail 12, by machine screws, These screws 16 hold both" 16, or the like. I sections of the guide to the side bar of the fraine IOH' i A receptacle 17 is mounted i-nrtheframe and may be of any desired configuration. The 1 receptaclewi n the present iinstance is shown as of bar-rel sh ape. Trunnions 18 project frome the opposite sides of there ceptacle 17, intermediate the ends of-the latter, and are secured to the receptacle by plates 19 conforming to the side of the receptacle; Thetru'nnions 1 8 project through the guides an'd carry rollers-20 loosely and DQtatabIymounted. thereon, which rest upon the supportingra-ils 12 beneath the guard rails l ly and which are held from lateral displacement by the flanges 13 and 15.

In Big, 7,1 have shown .a modified form of antifriction device forthe trunnions'of the churn As there shown, the supporting rail 12* is provided with spaced longitudinally; extending grooves 13, while the guard, rail 14% is likewise provided with spaced longitudinally extending grooves 15%.

The trunnionsihaveraceways encircling the samei-n whichareretained the ball bearings ,neeting .rods'22. are hinged to the crank portions of the shaft.:21:and"=are pivoted upon the trnnnionsal8, preferably at the in nersi'des of. the frame'10, By turning the shaft 21, by; a hand l'ew23, or other suitable operatlng means, the receptacle is;reciprocatedback. and forth in' the longitudinally extending guidesr A pulley or zbala ncei-wheel"24=- may be mounted on-the shaft" 21 to insure the steady rotation of the shaft-and prevsntjar upon the handle 23, and the-:pulley 24-itself may be driven in "any suitable manner to rotate the-shaft 21J-As shown in-Figs, 3 and the receptacle ,17-=:1S open" at one end,'-a'ndprovided thereat with-a ring 25 fitted over theedge'of-the receptacle and held thereto bylscrewsorthe like.

ihnrinwardly extending flange or ledge 26 is formed on the ring and provides a seat for a rabbetedvcover 27 ,closing th e open end of'ft e rcctac'le; Tlie cover '27Fjcarriesupon astu e ace a centrally disposed socket plate 28, in which is threaded a thumb- *scre'w '29 'beneathtlieh eaiil' of which is pivqted a clamping arm 30.

The ring 25 carries pairs of opposed apertu red lugs or sockets 31, in ea chpair of which "arehinged the opposite ends ofopposed-' -bails 32, adapted to be turned down against the socket plate 28 of the cover and bound thereon by the clamping arm 30, the latterbeing-held tight against the bails by the thumb screw 29. 1:

When the f receptacle 17 'is reciprocated back and forth,*it is held to a horizontalpath, as shown in full lines in Figs. 1' ant-l2, by a socket plate 33, mounted on the closed end of the receptacle, and inw hich is detachably fitted-one end'of a-guide' rod 34 best shown in Fig. 8." thumb-screw 35, or other-suitable device, 'is threaded in one side of the socket and bindsthe guide rodv 34 therein. The guide 'rod' 3 1 extends outwardly over the adjacent end of the-frame 10 and fitsin a bearing." :As may be seen from Fig. 9, this hearing comprises a base part 36 secured to the-frame 10 and a hinged part 37 held in closed position about the rod 34 by a thumb-screw '38-;

. The guide rod -34holdsthe receptacle 17' from turning upon-the trunnions 18, and

restricts, the receptacle to a straight path' When it is "desired -to tilt the receptacle to raise the covered endthereof for placing articles or material in'the' receptacle, or for swinging the coveredend -do'wnwardly to dump or pour the contentsfrom the receptacle, the thumb serew' 3 5-isreleased from 1 The hearing or "connection between the g-u'id erod 34 and theframe 10 is detachable to permit the use of-the rod-34' as a handle in: swinging the receptacle 1 17 'into various positions for emptying the samefi Thede tachable connect-ion between'the guide rod 34s-and' the closed end of the-receptacle permits the swinging of the receptacle inde-- pendently of=.the guide5-rod-forfilling the receptacle. 1; I
