CHURN.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 20,780, dated June 29, 1858-.

To all whom 'it may concem:

Be it known that I, ALFRED RosE, of Penn Yan, in the county of Yates and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specication, in which- Figure l is a front elevation with the front of the box removed. Fig. 2 is a birdseye view of part of the lid and machinery. Fig. 3 is a birdseye view of parts of the agitator.

The letters of reference refer to similar parts in each gure.

A Fig. l represents the box or body of the churn. It is made square and may be made of wood or metal.

B Figs. l and 2 is one half of the lid or cover of the churn.

C Fig. l is an upright shaft. It hasajournal and pinion at the upper end and it is made to go through the arm D and into a step at the lower end.

D Figs. l and 3 is an arm or crosspiece made as represented in Fig. 3. It is attached to the lower end of the staff C and is made to support the cam wheels E, E, and F, F.

E and E are cam wheels placed on the upper side of the crosspiece D at the ends of the same as represented in Fig. l. F and F, are also camwheels placed at the underside of the crosspiece D at the ends as represented in Fig. l. These are placed in a reverse posit-ion from the upper camwheels. IThese camwheels greatly facilitate the agitation by their revolutions when the arm D is put in motion.

H is a semicircular support for the upper end of the shaft; and made as represented in the figure and is secured to the same part of the lid that the other parts of the irons are.

I Figs. l and 2, is a bevel pinion and it is fastened to the upper end of the shaft C.

J, is a bevel wheel. It is fastened upon the end of the shaft K. The dimensions of the wheels may be made to suit the driving power.

K, is a shaft with the bevel wheel at on"e end and a crank or handle O at the other. This shaft is supported by boxes in the upper ends of the parts L and M.

L and M are upright posts that support the shaft K. rlhey are made with a foot or base at the lower end to make them stand lirm and make them easy to fasten to the lid of the churn and they are readily adapted to any sized churn without any change or alteration, also convenient to adjust the gearing.

N and N, are latches made as represented in Fig. 2. Their use is to hold'the lid lirmly in its place.

To use myv invention put the cream or milk into the churn, then put the agitators in place, put on the cover and fasten it down, then turn with the crank in direction to give the part D motion in direction of the arrows. The motion of the part D will cause the camwheels to revolve in direction of the arrows on each in the ligure. rlhe lower camwheels will greatly facilitate the centrifugal motion of the cream, and the upper camwheels will facilitate the motion of the cream toward the center, thereby diminishing the whirling motion that the cream would have if the camwheels were not used.

lVhat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is- The camwheels E, E, and F, F and the part D constructed and arranged in the manner represented and for the purpose set forth.

ALFRED ROSE. Witnesses:
