IMPROVEMENTIN CHURNS.l

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,918, dated August 7, 1866.

To all 'whom 'it1 may concern:

Be it known that I, WEsLEY S. FERRIER,

of Indiana, Indiana county, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Ghurn; and I do hereby declare that the folof them opposite. The arrangement is simple and novel, and performs its work easy and in `the most rapid and perfect manner.

Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevaf tion, showing a portion of one of the shafts removed. Y

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in the ligure.

A represents the body or barrel of the churn, made iu the ordinary einanner, to which my improvements may be applied.

B B are beaters secured to two uprightshafts, (l C', one of whichis hollow or cylindrical, through which the shaft C passes and in which it Works. At the top of these said shafts a coupling-socket,` in the for'm of a triangle, is made in the end of the shaft C, anda square socket, E, in the shaft C', into which lits corresponding partsof shafts F F', upon the upper end of Whichare secured the beveled wheels Gr G', which are driven by the bevel-wheel H,

which is secured to the shaft I, to which is attached the crank J The shaft J runs in the uprights K K.

L is an elevation secured upon the lid of the churn, upon which are the supports of the machinery.

M is the bearing of the lower end of the ,shaft C, the shaft G having its bearing upon a shoulder ofthe shaft C at N.

O O are latches, which are secured by a i pivot-screw to the side of the barrel of the churn, which are for the purpose of securing the lid to thechurn duringthe operation of churning. i

Now, it Will be seen that byl turning the cranks J it puts in lnotion the wheels G G' iu opposite directions, as shown by the arrows, as also the beaters B Bfwhich are connected to the respective shafts C C', to'which the above geanwheels are attached.

. It will also be seen that by the counter revolutions of the beaters the process of churning is rendered easy and performed in the most rapid manner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

The combination and arrangement `of the dashers or beaters B B, shafts C C', with the shafts F F', and gear-Wheels G Gr', gear-wheel H, allfor the purposes and substantially as herein described.

WESLEY s. EEEEIEE.
