JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, OF GOSHEN, OHIO.

CHURN.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 9,117, dated July 13, 1852.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, of Goshen, in the county of Olermont and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Churns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, makmg part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the churn, the red lines representing its position upright and supported by a leg. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section through the churn. Fig. 3, is an end view, and Fig. 4 is a plan of the grate.

The same letters refer to corresponding The nature of my invention consists in mounting a churn tub, or barrel, composed of two sections within a metallic clasp band, united to pivoted pendant bars, whereby, (through means of a lever) the barrel is so operated as to present its ends uppermost, the one after the other, by which the milk or cream is carried up in one section, and allowed to descend, through a grate, into the lower section, thus securing the most effectual agitation.

For the benefit of others whom it may concern I will proceed to describe my improvement more fully.

The frame consists of two base timbers A, A, united at their ends, from the middle of which is raised two uprights .B, B, to whose upper ends are hung (by pivots a 0.) bars O, O, united at their lower ends by a tie round D a short distance below the pivots a a there is attached to the bars O, C, a metallic clasp band E, within which the barrel is mounted, and held securely by means of a clamp screw F, passing through one end of the clasp band, and bearing into a cavity made in a plate G, on the head of the barrel ;said clasp band being furnished with end bars H H the latter of which fit into notches in the head of the barrel, while the other serves to strengthen the end through which the clamp screw passes.

I, I, are the two sections of the barrel, each made similar to the ordinary dasher churn tub; they are united at their ends, the one within the other, so as to render them water tight and prevent their separation while confined within the clasp band. At the juncture of these sections there is placed a grate J, composed of a circular rim and other, and facilitate the gathering of the butter. One of the bars C, is elongated so as to constitute a hand lever N by which the operator oscillates the barrel.

One part of the clasp band may be jointed to the pendant bars for the facility of confining the barrel within the same.

Operation: The clasp band being turned to a vertical position, and supported by the bar O resting on a leg L, turned upright as shown by red lines in Fig. 1; the upper section of the barrel is then removed, as well as the grate J and the cream or milk put into the lower section which rests on the clasp band, and against the round D the grate is then replaced, and the detached section mounted thereon and securely clamped by the clamp screw F. The leg L is then depressed, and the barrel assumes a horizontal position. The operator then grasps the handle or lever N, and oscillates the barrel so as to present its ends uppermost, the one after the other, carrying the cream upward, and allowing it to descend through the grate into the lower section. After the butter is produced the butter-milk is drawn 013? through an aperture into which the plug M, is inserted, the sections of the barrel are then separated, the grate taken out, and the butter removed.

I am aware that oscillating churns have been used before, therefore this I do'not claim, but what I do claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Mounting the churn tub or barrel composed of two sections I, I, and containing a grate J, at their juncture, within a clasp band, united to pivoted pendant bars O, O, whereby (through means of a lever) the barrel is so operated as to present its ends uppermost, the one after the other, by which the milk or 'cream is carried up by one section and allowed to descend through the grate as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name before two subscribing witnesses.
