CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming pari'. of Letters Patent No. 362,401. dated May 3, 1887.

Application filed February 25, 1887. Serial No. 228,820. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN a citizen of the United States, residing at Hendersonville, in the county of Henderson and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specication, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a vperspective view of my improved churn,with the cylinder partly broken away to show the stationary F. STAeGs,

- dasher located therein; and Fig. 2` an end view thereof, showing the position of the cylinder in dotted lines to show the manner ofv removing it from its supporting-frame.

The present invention has relation to that class of churns in which the cylinder is mounted upon a rocking frame, and the object thereof is to improve the construction of this class of churns, whereby it canbe conveniently Ie-v moved from the frame, in connection with the other details of construction, which will be hereinafter described, and subsequently pointedout in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the rocking frame, the standards a thereof being arranged at an angle and approaching each other at their upper ends, at which-point they are connected in any suitable manner.

The churn-cylinder B is provided at its ends with angular sockets C, to receive the upper ends of the standards a, whereby the churncylinder is supported on the rocking frame. The churn-cylinder is also provided at its top and near its ends with suitable handles, b, and the cylinder has located within it a stationary dasher, D, extending diametrically across the cylinder, and of sufficient height to extend into a dome, E, closed by a suitable cover, c, and is held in position by cleats d, or by any other preferred means that will admit of the dasher being removed through the dome E.

The churn-cylinder near one end is provided with a suitable faucet, e, lfor drawing offA the milk after the churning has been completed. By means of the extension which forms the cover'c would be on the same plane with the body of the churn-cylinder, and without some means o-f fastening the cover down the milk or cream coming against it in the process of churning would tend to loosen or raise the cover and work out through the opening. Thus by raising the cover some distance above the body of the churn-cylinder I have remedied this difficulty; but the employment of the angular sockets O upon the ends of the churn-cylinder, in connection with the standards c, arranged at an angle, as shown, the necessity of lifting the cylinder bodily off the supporting or rocking frame is rendered unnecessary.

Vhen it is desired to remove the churncylinder, all that is required is to take hold of the handles b and bring it toward you, as shown in dotted lines, acting as a fulcrum while the cylinder is being disconnected therefrom, and when brought in the position, as shown, it will slide off to one side of the frame without any lifting.

The angle of the sockets C, together with the standards a, arranged at a corresponding angle, enables .the churn-cylinder to be readily and easily removed fronrthe rocking frame A, when found necessary.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a churn, the combination, with the cylinder thereof provided with handles and angular sockets at its ends, yof a rocking frame for supporting the cylinder, having standards arranged at an angle with each otherand engaging with said sockets, substantially as and for the purpose speciiied.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
