JOHN S. BULLARD, OF OHAGRIN FALLS, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO O. BULLARD & SONS, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEMENT lN BUTTER-MOLDS.

Specification formingpart of Letters Patent No. 54,054, dated April 17, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J. S. 'BULLARD, of Chagrin Falls, in the county ofOuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Butter-Mold Shells; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the mold. Fig. 2 is a front view with the stamp and handle removed. Fig. 3is aside view of the shell. Fig. 4 is a vertical section. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the tool used in forming the inside of the shell.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views.

My improvement consists in making molds of a uniform definite size by one continuous operation. as hereinafter described, being a new article of manufacture.

In the drawings, A is the shell. B is the handle, to which is screwed or connected the the stamp O.

The block of which the shell is made is first hewn out and chucked. The tool which is shown in Fig. 5 is then used, in the manner described in a patent for said tool granted June 14, 1864, which makes it smooth and even, as shown in the drawings.

The ordinary shells are made with a hook by boring it out until it is of the right form and taper; but where this tool is used it can be done much quicker, and with more case, less cost, and better, the shells being always of theuniform size and taper.

The weight of the butter that can be put into each shell will be about the same, in accordance with the capacity of the shell.

The stamp O is put into the shell, and the handle Bis put through the top of the shell at a and connected to the stamp by a screw or otherwise. After the butter has been stamped it can be easily removed by pushing the handle, which, being fastened to the stamp, presses against the butter and removes it from the shell. The stamp can then be raised with ease, and a smooth, even ball obtained always of the same weigl These butter-molds are made of various sizes so as to give the exact measurementor weight, which cannot be done with the old mode of constructing them.

This invention is convenient not only where butter is made or formed into balls, but in families, when butter is keptin jars or tubs, it can be formed into balls for the table.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Thcdescribed butter-mold, when constructed in the mode and manner set forth, as an improved article of manufacture.
