' Application inea July 28,1891. serai no. 400,914. (No model.)

To all whom, Iltmay concern:

Be it known that I, AARON R. BEAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waco, in the county of Cleveland and State of North Carolina, have invented a vnew and useful Churn-Motor, of which the following is a speciiication.

The invention relates to improvements in churn-motors.v

The object of the presentrinvention is to provide simple and eflcient meansforpperating churns, whereby cream may be quickly converted into butter.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed kout in the claim hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective 'view of a churn-motor embodying the invention. Fig. 2`is a transverse sectional v iew. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the joint between the Apitman and the flasher-rod. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional-view of the joint.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a frame consisting of Aparallel side bars 2 and legs or standards 3 and 4, supportin g the parallel side bars and arranged at the ends of the same, and journaled in suitable bearings of the side bars near one end of the frame is a shaft 5, carrying at one end a crank-handle b', by which the churn is operated,and intermediate its ends a drive-wheel 7. At the opposite end of the frame is journaled a shaft 8,`upon which is mounted a wheel 9, which receives motion from the drive-wheel7 by a belt or band 10, and the wheels 7 and 9 are provided in their peripheries with grooves to receive the belt or band 10. A shaft 11 is journaled in suitable bearings at a pointintermediate the ends of the side bars, and carries a grooved pulley 12, over which passes the belt or band, and it is provided at one end with a clip 18, designed to receive and secure to the shaft a iiy-brush, fan, or the like,

- to keep flies from the person operating the churn and from the latter. The shaft 8 carries at one end a crank 14, which is arranged on the sides of a frame opposite that on which the crank 6 for operating the motor is arranged, and to which is connected a pitmanv 15, the latter having its other end pivotally secured to the upper end of a dasher-rod 16. The upper end 17 of the dasher-rod and the lower end 18 of the pitman have their opposed faces rabbeted, and the recess portions are adapted to lit into each other, so that the pitman -will form a continuation of the dasherl in alignment. 'On the side of the pitman op- Y posite that on, which the extension 23 is arranged is-secured a spring 24, which is arranged within the socket 22,.and extends .downward and has its .free end arranged within the socket 21 of the dasher-rod, whereby the dasher-rod and pitman arel caused to remain in alignment when not forced out of such by the crank 14. By this construction ay direct downward strokeis given to the dasherrod, which has been found exceedingly advantageous, as by it cream is quickly converted into butter. v q

' At the lower end of the dasher-rod, which reciprocates vertically, is arranged a dasher 25, which is perforated and lprovided with openings 26, in which are arranged guide-rods 27 having their upperv ends secured in openings of` a cover 2S of a churn-body 29, and having their lower ends secured to a cross-bar 30, arranged on the bottom of the churn-body. The dasher-rod is arranged in a central opening of the vcover 2S, and itv has a direct easy vertical reciprocation, it being guided in its movements by the rods 27.

It will be seen that the churn-motor is simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction, strong and durable, easy to oper-` Aate, it requiring very little force, and the cream is quickly churned.

What I claim is- In a churn-motor, the combination of a crank, a pitman connected to the crank andprovided at its lower end with a socket having an extension 23, depending below the pit- In testimony that I Claim the foregoing as man, a. dasher-rod carrying a dasher and promy own I have hereto alxed my signature in lo vided at its upper end with a socket having presence of two witnesses.

. oppositely-disposed perforated extensions 20,

5 pivotally connected to the pitman, and a AARON R' BEAM' spring secured to the pitman and engaging Witnesses: the dasher-rod, substantially as and foi1 the J. W. GIDNEY,

purpose described. J. L. WEBB.
