Specification of Letters Patent.

CHURN.

Patented April 30, 1907.

Annlication filed June 5,1906. Serial No. 320,320.

vented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable oth ers skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention. relates to churns and more p arti cul arly its object to provide a dasher which may be used in connection with any churn ofthe vertical type and which will be extremely si'ml ple and cheap.

Other objects and advantages will be ap- '1 parent from the following description.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the present dasher. 2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, taken through the angle irons, the shafts being shown in elevation. plan view.

Referring now to the drawings, shown. a churning top 5 having a central opening 6 therein and. having secured thereupon an upwardly extending metallic yoke 7 having an opening 8 in its bight registering with the opening 6. A shaft 9 is revolubly engaged in the openings 6 and 8 and has socured thereupon a bevel gear 10 which rests upon the churn top 5 to hold the shaft against downward movement. SOG111'C(l11})(')11 the top at opposite sides of the yoke 7, there are a pair of upwardly extending angle irons 11 having a horizontal shaft 12 journaled therein and extending above the yoke, and this shaft carries an operating crank 13. A bevel gear 14 is secured upon the shaft 12 and meshes with the gear 10.

Mounted upon the shaft 9 below the top 5 and in close relation thereto, there is a cross to dashers therefor and has for 1 Fig. 4 is a bottom there is 1 bar 15 which is thus arranged to hold the i shaft against upward movement and a cross l bar 16 is secured to the lower end of the shaft 1 9 and extends parallel to the cross bar 15, these cross bars having alining openings 15 y and .1 (3 in their ends which receive the trunl these paddles having nions of paddles 17,

and. connecting rerounded end portions 17 duced necks 1S. 1 As will be readily understood, the present mechanism may be used in connection with any churn having a top of the size to receive the top 5 and as churns are generally manu 1 facturcd in standard sizes, the mechanisms may he produced in corrcspomling sizes to suit different churns.

, It will be seen. that the shaft 1 the contents of the churn coming against the paddles 17 which cause them to revolve, and, as shown, the end portions 1.7 of the paddles extend slightly further beyond the axes thereof in one direction than in the other so that the paddles are revolved. And when placing the dasher in a churn, the paddles are so disposed that they will be rotated in opposite directions to give an increased agitation to the contents of the churn. The top 5 is of course arranged to fit the churn air tight and l the present dasher may be used in connection l with a stone jar, as shown in llig.

\Vha t is claimed. is:

1 In a churn dasher, the combination with a shaft, of transversely extending spaced cross bars carried by the shaft, and paddles jouri naled at their ends in the cross bars, said padl dles including rounded end portions and a connecting reduced neck, said end portions 9. is revolved,

axes of the paddles than in the other.

In testimony whereof, l alhx my signz'rture, in presence of two witnesses.
