FFICEO JAMES 13. MELLOR, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,854, dated September 28, 1886.

Application filed Jnne15,1SS6.

T0 all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, Janus B. llIELLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohnrn- Dashers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved churndasher; audit consists of an improvement on the dasher for which Letters Patent of the United States, numbered 110,487, were ranted me December, 1870.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the dasher and a sectional view of the churn-barrel. Figs. 2 and 3 are different side views of the dasher.

The letter A designates the barrel of a churn; B, the shaft, which is fixed in bearings c d in the heads of the churn, and has outside of one head a projecting end, 13, to which may be attached a crank or other means for turning it.

In the present instance the churn is shown standing on one head upright. Two arms, 0, are attached to the shaft at one end, and each upon an opposite side from the other, and both of said arms incline upward from their attached ends. \Vhen the barrel A is standing on one end, as showmand the shaft B revolved, the movement of the two upward-inclined arms 0 will give to a large part of the cream an upward motion. To that position of the cream, however, which lies on the bottom head of the churn this upward motion is not imparted. Two additional arms, f, have position and extend parallel with the shaft B, and point straight downward, and are pro vided with holes 9. These parallel arms are each fixed to the lower end of a downward-inclined arm, 71, whose upper end is attached to the shaft B at or near the other end.

The

downward-projecting arms fh project from sides of the shaft different from the upwardinclincd arms 0, and, considered with refer" ence to the shaft-axis, these arms f h project at right angles with respect to the arms 6. Thus each downward-pointing arm embraces an upper portion, 71, which inclines, and alowor portion, f, which is parallel with theshaft. The movement of these armsfh produces not only a downward motion of the cream, but the lower parallel portion, f, having its lowerend free or unattached, most effectually breaks up the counter-currents and agitates and breaks up the cream on the bottom head whichis n11- disturbed by the upward inclined arms. A dasher thus constructed is found in practice to be very rapid in its action 011 the cream, and very much superior to the dasher shown in my former patent above referred to.

Having described my invention, I claim and desire to seen re by Letters Patent of the United States.

A churn comprising the barrel A and revolnble shaft 13, having at one end two upwardinclined arms, 0, each attached at an opposite side, and at or near the other end two downward-pointing arms projecting from a different side of the shaft and at right angles with respect to the first-named arms, each of said downward-pointi11g arms consisting of an up per portion, 71., which inclines downward, and a lower portion, f, which is parallel with the revoluble shaft and has its lower end free or unattached, as shown and described.

In testimony whercofI ailix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

JAMES P. MELLOR.
