CONRAD BERST, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.

CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. A362,416, slatedA May 3, 1887.

Application filed January G, 1887. Serial No. 293,584. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, CONRAD BERsT, a citizen l of the United States, residing at Kansas City,

dasher for churns which will render the churny ing easy.

To the accomplishment of the above the invention consists of certain novel devices and combination of devices, as will be fully described hereinafter, and also specifically claimed.

Reference will be made to the drawings, in which Figure l is a sectional detail of the churn, showing its cover or lid in position; Fig. 2, a top plan of one style of dashers; Fig. 3, a sectional view ofFig. 2; Fig. 4, a similar view of a portion of a modified form of dasher; Fig. 5, a side elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 4.

Like letters refer to like parts in each view.

A represents the churn, (shown broken away in Fig. 1,) and B the top or lid for the same. This lid or top consists of ltwo pieces, one of which in circumference is slightly smaller than the interior of the churn proper. Around the circumference of the upper part of the lid, and fitted into a suitable groove or depression, is a rubber washer, a, the same being adapted to press againstthe interior of the churn and render the `joint thus formed perfectly airtight. Upon the lower face of the lid above described there is formed a downwardly-projecting-portion, which may be formed with the main portion or secured thereto. The lower faceof that part lirst described and the upper face of the last-described part are grooved or cut away sufficiently to form a passage, b, which fornis'communication between the interior of the churn and the outer air, ventilation being thus provided for. A

with my churn, whereby communication is formed with theair and the interior of a churn for the purposes of ventilation. Upon the lower end of said rod the dashers of the churn are secured, said rod being passed through and securely attached to the two pieces D D', said pieces being securely held together by suitable screws or bolts. At suitable points these pieces D D are cut away to form bearings for the shafts E, now to be described. The dashers F are out away centrally to form the shafts E, and are integral therewith. The piece D has Iianges c upon its upper face to limit the movement of the dashers.

It will be understood from the drawings that as the plunger-rod is forced down it carries the dashers. Said dashers, by coming in contact with the contents of the churn, are

forced to occupy a horizontal position, the contents of the churn passing through openings with which they are provided; and it will also be understood that as the dashers are raised they will be forced into an inclined position, or a position oblique to the sides of the churn, thereby rendering the raising of said dashers easy.

It will be understood that I have shown in the drawings two styles of dashers which are arranged and operated in the same manner, in one of which two sets or four of such dashers are used, while in the other either the same number or four sets and eight dashers may be used, as it may be found desirable at times to make my churndasher either of a circular or rectangular shape.

I am aware that an ordinary churn-cover has been provided with a disk having inclined channel or groove, which permits the cream carried up by the dasher-rod to descend again into the churn, and also horizontally-pivoted dashers which are forced to assume avertical suitable central opening` is formed through position bythe upward and downward movement of the dash-rod; and therefore Ido not ing stops, and the dashers F, out :may een- 1o broadly claim these elements7 but only those trally to form shafts which rest in the openings hereinafter more particularly set forth. 1 in the cross-pieces7 as seb forth.
