IMPROVEMENT IN cHuRNs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,878, dated December 10, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, MYRON MOSES, of Malone, in the county of Franklin and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Churn; and I do hereby-declare the following to be a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specilication, in which- Figure lis a perspective view of the whole machine; Fig. 2, a detached elevation of the two sets of beaters, collar, and shaft; Fig. 3, a detached plan of the upper set of beaters; and Fig. 4, a detached vertical section of the mechanism for driving the dasher.

Similar letters of reference in the accompanying drawing denote the same parts.

This invention belongs to that class of churns which employ two sets of bea-ters revolving in opposite directions; and has for its object to improve the constrction of such a churn in such manner, first, that the mechanism for driving the churn may be readily removed with the churnffrom the holdin g-frame; and,

. second, thatthe cream maybe thrown to the sides of the churn during the operation of churning. To this end the invention consists,

lfirst, in the construction and arrangement of that part of the frame which supports the' driving mechanism of the churn.; Second, in `1 the-construction of 4the beaters.

In the drawing, A is the churn, the same being of sheet metal, of ordinary construction,

.and placed, when the process of churning is going on, upon the iioor B of a frame, C C', `which door has a recess, ,of. a shape to be accurately fitted by the churn, said recess having inclined sides to receive the flange on the bottom of the churn and prevent'its moving upward. The parts C C are connected by four or more pairs of parallel metal bars, D,

each of which is in contact at its ends with two of its fellows, the joints being all mitered so as to make the bars D serve as braces to .each other as well as the posts. One of the churn. VThe pivoted bar has a pin projecting inward'from its free end, which pin, when the bar is turned down, enters a notch, e, in the top of the post C, whereby this bar is fastened hub bears aflat inclined beater, F, and a semi-` conical beater, F1, attached to the end of a radial arm extending from the opposite side of the hub from the beater F. Resting on the hub E1 is another hub, E2, rigidly attached to the lower end of a collar, G, placed loosely on the shaft E. The hub E2 has radial armse' extendingfrom opposite sides, to the ends of which are fastened beaters F2, which are of the same shape as the beater F1, except that they are dished out on the inner sides, as Shown at k, Figs. 2 and 3, in order that they maythereby throw the cream toward the sides of the churn, and also that there may be room enough between the hub and beaters to work in while cleaning the latter. Gonical beaters pass through the cream with less resistance than at ones, and consequently to work them requires less power. At the Same time, by the squareness of their rear ends, my conical beaters agitate the cream so much as to require but comparatively little churning. As shown in Fig. 2, there is a groove in the top of the hub El, next to the shaft E, which groove the lower end of the collar G enters. By this arrangement cream is prevented from getting between the collar and shaft E. At the top of the shaft E is a'miter-wheel, H2, similar to a miter-wheel, H1, on the upper end of the collar G, which'wheels form a bevel -gear with a miter-wheel, H, placed on the end of a shaft, I, supported in suitable boxes attached to the top of the frame, and at the opposite side thereof from thepivoted bar D, so

as not to be in the way of moving the churn. By means of thiSbevel-gearthe upper and lower sets of beaters are whirled in opposite directions. shaft an arm, I1, extends upward, at the top of which arm is a socket, l?, Fig. 4,through one side of which extends a screw, l. In the socket I is placed a bolt, K, having a flange, m, resting on the top of the socket, a circumferential groove, a, near the flange and a longitudinal groove, o, communicating at its PATENT OFFICE..

From one of the boxes of the p upper end with the groove n, and at right angles with it. The point of the screw l is elv ways in one or the other of these grooves. The bolt K has at boss, k1, at its lower end, and :t liange, k2, concentric with `the boss and sepa,- ra-ted from it by a groove. The boss k1 enters :t depression in the head of the shaft E, and thussteadies the latter. When this is the case the screw lis in the groove n, and the bolt K should be turned so as to bring the groove o out of line with the screw,which then locks the bolt K. By turning the bolt so as to bring the groove u in line with the screw, the bolt cenbe raised, the screw traversing the groove n. The shaft E is then 11nsupported at the top, and, together with the in described.
