CHURN- MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,442, dated February 13, 1894.

Application filed Tune 21,1892. Serial No. 437,438. (No model.)

.T0 @ZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN J. CAMPBELL, of Altoona, Wilson county, Kansas, have inyented certain new and useful Improvements in Uhuru-Motors, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in motors., for operating ehurns especially, and the obJect of my invention is to produce a motor which shall be simple, durable and inerrpenslve of construction, and positive and direct in its action.

To the above purposes my invention con sists 1n certain peculiarand novel features of 'construction and arrangement as will be hereinafter specified and claimed.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l, represents a rear elevation of a motor, embodying my invention. Fig. 2, is a transverse vertical section of the same, taken Fig. 3, is a plan view of the same.

In the drawings the motor frame is composed of the two front vertical standards 20,just referred to, and of two similar standards 22 which are placed parallel with each other and parallel also with the front standards 20. The two standards 2O and 22 at each side of the motor are connected together by a horizontal base-bar or foot 23, and the upper ends of these standards are connected together by horizontal crossbars 24; the foot 23 and crossbars 24 extending parallel with each other and from front to rear of the motor frame.

At a point some distance above the foot or crossbar 23 the frontand rear standards 2O and 22 are connected together by horizontal cross-pieces 25, there being two of said crosspieces, one located at the front of the motor frame and the other at the rear thereof.

At a point considerably above the crosspieces 25, the standards 2O and 22 are provided With horizontal crosspieces 26, there being two of these cross-pieces, one of which is located at the front of the motor frame and the other at the rear thereof. The front crosspieces25and26areconnectedtogethermidway of their vlength by a vertical piece 27, and the cross pieces 25 and 26 at the rear of the motor frame are connected together also midway of their length by a similar vertical piece 27.

Upon the cross-pieces 2$at the top of the motor frame rests a horizontal bar 28, which is located nearer the rear ends of the crossbars 24 than the front ends thereof, and the extremities of which project outward beyond the said cross-pieces 24, for a purpose to be hereinafter explained.

29 designates the winding-arbor of the motor, this arbor extending horizontally from front to rear of the motor-frame and having its end portions journaled in the cross pieces 26 at points to the left of the vertical crossbars 27 when the motor is viewed toward its front. The rear end of this winding arbor projects beyond the rear cross bar 26 and is made square or angular as at 30, to receive a crank-handle 3l by means of which the arbor 29 is rotated for the purpose of winding the motor. Upon this windingarbor 29 is mounted an elongated hub or sleeve 32 which is preferably of such length as to extend from the front cross-piece 26 to the rear cross-bar 26 and said hub or sleeve is formed at a point about midway of its length with an integral ratchet-wheel VThis hub 32 is loosely surrounded by a gear-wheel 3i which lies adjacent to the front side of the ratchet wheel 33, and said gear-wheel also carries upon its rear side a pawl 35, being pivoted as at 37 upon the rear side of the said gear-wheel 3e.

38 designates the horizontal arbor which is mounted in the cross-bars 26 to the right of the vertical pieces 27 looking toward the front .of the motor, and upon said arbor is mounted a gear-wheel 39, the hub of which constitutes a gear-pinion 40; the teeth of this gear-pinion 40 meshing with the teeth of the gear-wheel 34 above referred to. The teeth of the gear- Wheel 39 mesh with the teeth of the gear-pinion 4l, which is formed integrally with a gearwheel 42, and which is located at the rear side of said gear-wheel 42, This gear-wheel 4:2 and its gear-pinion al are mounted upon a hori` zontal arbor i3 the ends of which are journaled in the upper portions of the vertical cross-pieces 27 before described. The teeth of the gear-wheel 42 mesh with the teeth of the gear-pinion 4i; this pinion being mounted IOO upon a horizontal arbor 45, the ends of which:

are journaled in the lower portions of the vertical piece 27. v

Upon the outwardly projecting ends of the cross-bar 28, previously described, are journaled two sheaves or pulleys 46, and over these sheaves or pulleys extend two cords 47, or ropes or chains or other similar flexible connections. The lower portions of these two flexible connections 47 are wound in thesame direction upon the rear portion of the hub 32 which surrounds the arbor 29 and the outer or opposite ends of these iiexible connections 47 are connected to weights 48. It will thus be seen that by turning the crank-handle 3l in one direction the hub 32 is thus rotated so as to wind the lower portions of the flexible connections 47 upon said hub, the pawl 35 during this winding action slipping over the teeth of the ratchet wheel 33 and the weights 48 being raised to their uppermost limit. AsA

soon as the crank-handle 3l is released from the operators grasp, the pawl 35 engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel 33, thus compelling the gear-wheel 34 which carries said pawl to turn the ratchet-Wheel 33 and through the described train of gearing rotate the arbor 45 of the motor train.

The front end 49 of the arbor 45, is formed with a square projection as shown; this projection being adapted to engage the shaft of a churn of any suitable construction (not shown) to operate the saine.

From the above description it will be seen that I have produced a churn-motor which is simple, strong, compact, durable and inexpensive in construction, and direct and positive in its action and which is preferably adapted by the form of its construction for operating the daslier-shat t of the churn above described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is u In a churn-motor, the combination with a suitable supporting frame, having an ac tuating-arbor 45 having a squared end, a pinion 44 mounted upon said shaft, an arbor 43 and a gear-wheel 42 thereon, and meshing with the pinion 44, and a pinion 4l also upon said arbor, an arbor 38, a gear-wheel 39 thereon and meshing with the pinion 4l, and a p inion 40 upon the shaft 38, an arbor 29 having a squared end, and a hub 32 mounted thereon and having a ratchet 33, and a gear-wheel 34 loosely mounted upon the hub and meshing with the pinion 40, and also having aspringactuated pawl 35, engaging the ratchet 33, and a horizontal bar 28 carried by the framework and having bifurcated ends, and grooved pulleys 46 mounted therein, and ropes 47 secured at their inner ends to the hub or drum, and at their opposite ends carrying weights 48, and guided over the pulleys 46, substantially as described.

In testimony WhereotI afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
