UNITED STAT-Es 'PATENT Ormea i.VILBER F. SOTHARI), OF BERLIN, 'ARKANSAS CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,232, dated July 31, 1883.

Application filed April 3l 1883. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that l, WILBER F. ,SoUTHARn a citizen of the United States, residing at Berlin, in the county of Johnson and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful.

Improvements in Churns; and I do declare the following 'to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the rart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and f1 gures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to churn-motors; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts, hereinafter particularly described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a perspective view of my'inotor with the churiidasher attached. Fig. 2 represents a bottom plan view of the base A with its legs (t a folded back under the same.

This base A is made of plank, and of sufficient width and length to give the upright B a steady foundation. This base has screwed across either end strips a c2, to prevent it from warping or splitting. The strip a2 is cut short to allow room for the articulation of the legsc c, which are pivoted on the under side of and to the rear end of this base, and are capable of being thrown out to the rear, as shown in Fig. l. These legs are to steady the motor, the front feet of the chair in which the operator sits being placed in the holes at c* thereof. Vhen the motor is operated by a child, the child inay stand on these legs to keep the motor steady.

From the top side of this base I raise an up-` right, B. In the upper end of this upright I mortise two arms, GC, transversely, one end of each of which extends forward about eighteen inches, having sockets c c. These arms G C also extend to the rear of this upright about six or eight inches,`and have secured between pulley, fi, between the grooves. have straight sides, andare open on their outer end, so that the dasherQhandle canlbe easily removed. Then the motor is being operated, the pulley t' is kept in the sockets by the cord K. Onthe lower end of the handle F, Isecure a churn-dasher, G, intended to agitate the milk, and in the dasher-handle I make holes 7L 71, for holding feathers or fans to chase away the flies and fan the operator in warlnweather. I take a cord, K, and tie it around hand-hold d of lever D, bring it forward and around the pulley z once or twice between the grooves j' f, then draw it along the face of the bow or half-wheel E to screw e', wind it around this screw once or twice, then draw it a time or two around and under cleat c, and the cord is secured without the necessity of tying it.

In operating this motor, I place my vseat `to ning around the dasher-handle, and forming a These sockets the rear of the same, placing the front feet of i causing the butter to rise in an incredibly short time. When I wish to remove the churn and dasher, I unwind the cord from under cleat e and from around screw e, and the handle is at once loose and comes out of sockets f f, and is taken from the cord and churn and another churn placed in position and the dasher adjusted as before. Thus it will be seen that my dasher is put in place in a moment of time and removed as quickly, as I have no knots to tie or untie.

The cord hugging the face of the bow or half-wheel E, which is a perfect half-circle, pulls all the time on the handle in the same line, giving an even, regular, and consequently easy motion. This bow or half-wheel is of greater circumference than the circumference of the pulley t', in order to give the dasher great speed, while the operator is moving they lever with the ordinary movement usual and agreeable to human muscular action, as unusual muscular action soon fatigues the operator and heats the blood. i

i I am aware that a churn-motor has been here roo tofore constructed with a base having a somewhat similar upright and arm to mine, and a half-wheel E, working in front of upright B and between the front ends of arms C G,

flasher-shaft F, having pulley i and grooves f I 5 f, said grooves Workin g n sockets c c, and cord K, one end secured to handle d, then passing around pulley i, and secured to the other end of said lever by means of screw e and cleat e, substantially as shown and described. y In testimony whereof I afX my signature in presence of two witnesses. a
