JAMES GARDNER HARRIS, OF FRANKLIN, KENTUCKY, ASSIGNOR OF THREE- FOURTHS TO J. B. MONTAG-UE AND J. T. BOOKER, OF SAME PLACE.

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,712, dated July 21, 1885.

Application filed December 4, 1884. (No model.)

T all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMEs G. HARRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Franklin, in the county of Simpson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Ohurns; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

I 5 Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, and is a top View. Fig. 2 is a side view, a portion being in section. Fig. 3 is a detail section. Fig. 4 is a detail.

This invention has relation to churn-motors adapted to be operated by hand; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, as hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the main upright or support, and B is the seat, which is notched in front for connection to the support. The front portion of the seat is made narrow, as shown, and the rear portion of the seat is supported by the legs 0. The upright A extends above the level'of the seat, and to its upper end is secured the horizontal bar D, which we tends longitudinally and projects forward from the upright to form the bearing-arm for the journal E of the pulley-head F, said journal playing in the bearing a near the end of said arm.

G is the churn-dash, the rod H of which is provided with an iron thimble, b, having a square socket, c, at its upper end. The lower end of the journal E of the pulley-head F is squared to form a tenon adapted to enter the socket 0. When so coupled, it may be fastened in the socket by a transverse key.

K represents a socket-bearing formed in the rear end of the horizontal bar D, and designed to receive the journal (1 of the vibratory are L, said journal being provided with a washer, e.

The are L consists of the board 9, the arcdeposit for the pulley-head, acts as a splashstrip h, and the transverse handlebar 7a, which is nailed to the rear edge of the board, and has its handles Z projecting therefrom on each side. The bent strip h is secured to the curved edge of the board, and projects above the same to form the forward marginal Wall of the table, the rear wall being formed by the handle-bar. The rear ends of the arc strip are secured above in notches m of the handle-bar, so that the are strip is held in a firm manner. To the ends of the board in rear are attached the rear ends of the operating straps or cords N N, which extend forward on the arc strip and are attached by their pendants to the annular grooves or seats 8 of the pulley-head. These grooves or seats 8 are arranged one above the other, being separated by the middle annular flange, t, and the straps or cords N are wound thereon respectively in opposite directions. i

The operator, seated in rear of the upright A, grasps the thimbles of the arc, and by Vi- 'brating the same causes a rapid motion of the pulley-head and of the dash rod which is coupled thereto. After the churning the pulley-head is raised to uncouple the dash-rod, so that the churn can be removed from under the bar D and emptied.

The board 9, besides serving as a place of 8o guard.

B.indicates a disk having a central annular aperture for the passage of the dasher-shaft, and a series of radial angular apertures, as shown. This disk is placed in the churn near the upper end thereof, and is designed to assist in keeping down the cream.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a churn with a sectional dasher-shaft, the upper section having a pulley, which is connected by means of a belt with a pivoted are, by which the said dasher is operated, and therefore do not claim such devices, broadly.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

The churn-motor consisting of the upright A, having attached in rear the seat B, and in front the horizontal bar D, provided with front and rear bearings, the are L, having the ICO splash-board h and journal d, the sectional In testimony whereof I affix my signature flasher-shaft provided with the pulley-head F in presence of two Witnesses.

at one end and the tenoned journal E at the opposite end of the upper section, the said pulley being formed with the grooves separated by the flange t, and the connecting cords or straps N, substantially as specified.

JAMES GARDNER HARRIS.
