-o CHURN-MOTQR.

SPECIFICATION forming, part of Letters Patent No. 363.807, dated May 31, 1887.

Application filed March 16, 1887. Serial No. 231,119. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATTHEW F. CoNNETT,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Peoria, in the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Churn-Motors; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to churn-motors.

The object of the invention is to produce a churn-motor which may readily be attached to and detached from a churn, and whereby the continuous revolution of the fly-wheel is converted into one or more 'successivei'evolutions of the churn-dasher in opposite directions.

With this object in view my invention consists, essentially, ina churn-motor made up of a fly-wheel mounted upon a stand, tripod, or the like, which may be set near the churn to be operated, a pitman connected eccentric ally to the fly-wheel, and straps attached at one of their ends to the pitman and at the other end wound around a churn-dasher or a connection thereof, whereby by the reciprocation of the pitman caused by the wheel in revolving the straps are alternately wound and unwound, thus imparting motion to the dasher.

I have illustrated the invention in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side view of a churn-motor constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan view.

In the drawings, A represents a tripod consisting of the depending legs 13, the upper portion, 0, and the bifurcated arm G 0. At the point of juncture between the upper portion, 0, and the bifurcated arm CO is mounted the shaft D, bearing the fly-wheel E. This flywheel E is provided on one side with a crank, F, attached to its axle, and on the opposite side with a crank-handle, G, attached to one ofits spokes.

To the same spoke to which the crank-handle G is attached is pivoted one end of a pitman, H, and to the outer end of the pitman are attached a short distance apart the ends of 'ing motion to the dasher.

the straps I I. The other ends of the straps are attached to the upper portion of the dasher-staff J of the churn, so that by the reciprocation of the pitman the straps are alternately wound'and unwound, thus impart- The upper endof the dasher-staff is mounted in suitable bearings in theends of the projecting arms.

The preferred manner of attaching the dasher of the churn to the operating mechanism is by the piece K, to which the ends of the straps are'attached, and which is pro-' vided at its lower end with a socket adapted to receive the upper endof the dasher, so that as the piece K moves the dasher is carried with it. When the dasher and the operating mechanism are connected in this way, they may be disconnected speedily and easily by simply raising the motor up, so as to have the square upper end of the daslier clear th socket K.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- In a churn-motor, the combination, with a suitable base, of a bifurcated horizontal arm rigidly fastened thereto, a horizontal shaft journaled in the base at its junction with said horizontal arm and transverse with reference to said arm, a fly-wheel mounted on the shaft and provided with cranks on its opposite faces, a vertical flasher-staff journaled in the outer ends of said bifurcated arm, a single pitman pivoted to the crank-handle on one side of said fly-wheel and extending beyond said dasher-staff, and two straps lying on the same side of the dasher-stafi' and having their con tiguous ends wrapped about the staff in 0pposite directions and fastened thereto and their opposite ends fastened to said single pitman, substantially as shown and described, whereby the rotation of the fly-wheel and the reciprocation of the pitman impart reciprocal rotation to said dasher-stafl.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MATTHEW F. CONN ETT.
