GHURN.

SPECIIEICQTION forming part of Letters Patent No. 347,3] 2, dated August 17, 1886.

Application filed May 4, 1886.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NELsoN BARNESLEY, a citizen of the United. States, residing at Esrom, in the county of Barton and State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chorus, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in rotary churns; and it consists of the peculiar and novel construction and arrangementof the various parts for service, substantially as hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The object of myinvention is to provide an improved churndasher which shall be very simple and strong in construction, and which shall be capable of creating a violent and rapid agitation in the vessel among the particles of the cream to complete the churning thereof in a very short time; and a further 0bj ectof my invention is to provide a receptacle with breaker'strips that serve efficiently to in-' crease the agitation among the particles of the cream, the dashers being rotated in the same planes of rotation by mechanism which is simple and effective, all as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a churnbody, showing my invention in elevation. Fig. 2 is a like vertical section view through the apparatus on the line a: w of Fig. 1. Figs. 3 and 4 are detached perspective views of the rotating dashers.

Referring to the drawings, in which like letters of reference denote corresponding parts in all thefigures, A designates the churn body the standard D, which is provided with the.

lugs d, that are secured at their lower endsby bolts or screws to the cover and at their 111)- per ends with a bearing or box, at, for the Serial No. 201,082. (No model.)

driving-shaft E, that is jonrnaled therein and carries a crank-handle, e, for its convenient rotation by hand, and a master gear-wheel, F, that is arranged to one side of the standard and secured at one end of the shaft. This master gear-wheel meshes with and rotates a pinion, ii, that is jonrnaled on a shaft, h, the lower end of which is journaled in the cover 0, while the upper end thereof is jonrnaled in a bridge-plate, D, of the standard D. The pinion h meshes with and rotates the pinions iand j of the vertically-disposed dasher-staffs J. I of the dashers I and J, the said shafts being extended through the bridge-plate D and the cover 0 of the churn. WVhen the mastergear is rotated by the action of the crank and driving-shaft, it rotates the pinion h, and the latter rotates the pinions z and j in one direction simultaneously, so that the dashers I and J are rotated in the same plane, as will'be very readily understood.

The dasher-staff I is extended the entire length of the churn body or vessel, so that the lower. end thereof is out of contact with the bottom of the said vessel, and at its upper and lower ends the dasher staff or rod is provided with horizontal cross-heads k and 7c, the free ends of which carry integral arms or beaters Z, that are arranged parallel with the dasherstaif and themselves, the free ends of the beaters or arms'being separated from the arm adjacent thereto on the same side of the dasherrod by an intermediate space.

It will be observed that a space is provided between the side arms or beaters of the dasher I and the staff thereof, through which work the side beaters of the dasher J, and between the ends of the dasher-arms or beaters lainother space is provided for the free passage therethrough of the cross-head of the dasher J, as will be more fully described presently.

The dasher rod or staff of the dasher J extends into the churn-body above one-half of the length of the latter, and at itslower end it is provided with a cross arm or head, m, and the free ends of the cross-head m are provided with vertical arms or beaters n, that are arranged parallel with the dasher-staff and with each other, the arms at extending nearly the entire length of the churn-body.

The arms a are adapted to pass between the arms I and the dasher-staff l of the dasher I when the dashers are in one of their positions, and the cross-head m passes through the space between the free ends of two adjacent arms, Z, while the armsZ move through the space intermediate or the dasher-rod and the arms a of the dasher J, as will be very readily understood. The abovedescribed operation or movement of the parts takes place each time the dashers have made a half-revolution, and at the end of the remaining half of the revolution the dashers are arranged parallel with each other, and are separated from each ily understood from the foregoing description,

taken in connection with the drawings.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the vessel hai-"ing the breakerstrips inclosed within the same and arranged at diametrically opposite points, the cover, the standard secured to thecover and having the bearing, the driving-shaft journaled in the bearing, and having the mastergear and the eranlehandle, the pinion h, j ournaled on a shaft that is secured in a bridgeplate of the standard, the dashers I and J, having their staffs extended through the cover and bridge-plate, and provided with the pinions'iandj that mesh with the pinion 71, which rotates them simultaneously and in the same direction, the dasher ll having; the cross heads at its ends, each carrying the vertical blades, and the dasher J having the cross-hcad at its lower end, which is provided at its free end with vertical extended arms, the whole arranged and combined substantially as de scribed.

2. In a churn, the combination of the dashers I J, arranged to rotate simultaneously and intercept the path of a circle described by one another, the dasher I having, the cross-heads provided at their free ends with verticallydisposed arms I, and the dasher J, having a single cross-head, m, at its lower end that is adapted to pass between the extremities of the arms carried by the cross-heads k 7;, and pr0- vidcd with vertical arms a, substantially as described, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the lbregoing as my own I have hereto afilxed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

NELSON BARJESLEY.
