\ I is a spur wheel, connected with the right Y side of the boX, and turned by a crank c p the following isa full`,wclear, and eXactde- J represents the cross head, made to turn in its sockets as it is worked by the coiled spring.

K is the regulating binder, through which thecoiled spring passes, above the eccentricstrap (a), as will be more clearly seen in Fig. c c being the slot for the Spring, and

the slot for the strap.

The construction of the eccentric, eccentric strap, coiled spring, and binder are plainly exhibited in Fig. 2; the spring and strap are connected at a in that ligure. The eccentric E is grooved (as in Fig. 3) to retain the strap in its place, and at the same `time allow the spring and strap to remain ward the spring, the reach is shortened, andthe reverse is effected by moving it from the spring.

L L as seen in Fig. l, are slats grooved to UNITE STATES* PATENT i present a surface as in Fig. 7 and secured inthe bottom corners in the ends of the water boX; i

The operation of the machine is as follows; The crankMcommunicates mot-ion to the spur wheels I and H; H being on the shaft F revolves the eccentric E and balance wheel G; the coiled spring C, encircling the eccentric., sets the dasher (B) in motion poses specied, it being understood that I arranging and applying the spring, as speci do not claim in general the device of a, fied in the above claim.
