IMPROVEMENT IN PowER-cHuRNs.

' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,713, dated April 25, 1876; application tiled March 11, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM VANURDER, of Woodburn, in the county of Allen and in the State of In diana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the let ters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification. l

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a churn, as

will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to Which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe set radially ordiagonally in the cornersof the frames. Similar perforated boards are fastened radially in the center. of the sides of the frames. These upright perforated boards form the breakers against which the crea-m is thrown by the revolving dashers. The breaker-frame thus constructed is "held a suitable distance from thesides of the box A by blocks a a, secured to the outer sides of the frames B. In the center of the box is a vertical roller, E, journaled in the top and bottom thereof',

and provided with perforated dashers, G G.

These dashers are made of suitable sheet metal, curved, as shown, `and provided 011 their inner edges with ears b b, fastened by screws or nails to the sides of the roller.

By thus connecting the dashers to theshaft any one of them can be easily removed at will.

This chnrndash er is operated by clock-work run by Weights, and situated in an upright box, H, attached to the side of thechurn. I is the clock-Work, run by cord d and weights J. K is the last shaft of the gearing, extended through the box andprovided on its front end with a bevel cog-wheel, L. This meshes with movable set-screw, h. The lower lend of the arm N is bent outward, to form a bearing for the upper end of the vertical shaft M.

By these means this shaft M can easily be removed, and the lid of-the box A removed, when the rotating dasher is easily lifted out.-

Having thus fnllydescribed my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv 1. The detachable, curved, perforated metal dashers G G, provided with flanges b b, and attached to the vertical revolving roller E, in combination with the frames B B, having radial vertical breakers G D, as and for thepurposes set forth.

2. In combination with the shafts K M, hav; ing gears L L', operating the churn -dasl 1er, the sliding bar O, with hinged and bent arm N, adjustable spring P, and set-screws f JL, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of January, 1876.
