JAMES 1?. ROGERS, OF KAUFMAN, TEXAS.

CHURN- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES 1?. ROGERS, of Kaufman, in the county of Kaufman and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 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, reference being h ad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

This invention relates to machines for operating churns of that class which are provided with a vertical rotary dasher; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction of the same, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings hereto annexed, A represents the frame of the machine, which consists of a bed, B, provided at each end with two uprights, 0 O D D. Uprights O are provided at their upper ends with boxes or bearings for a transverse shaft, E, carrying a large bandwheel or pulley, F, and a crank, G, or other suitable means for communicating motive power. H H are braces connecting the uprights O G with D D, and provided near the latter with bearings for two transverselyarranged flanged rollers, I I. J is the churn, which is arranged upon bed A between the uprights D D. It is provided at the bottom with a cross-piece, K, provided with a socket, L, made of glass, and forming a bearing for the lower end of the dasher, the upper end of which is journaled in a cross-piece, M, connecting the upper ends MOTOR.

Patent No. 225,644, dated March 16, 1880.

of uprights D, to one of which it is hinged, as shown.

The dasher N consists of a stem or staff, 0, having cross-pieces P P arranged at right angles to each other, and connected by spirallytwisted strips Q, by which the cream is agitated. Near its upper end the stafi' O is provided with a pulley or drum, R.

S is the band or belt which runs upon the pulley or drum F, and connects the latter with the pulley R upon dasher-staif O, to which a rotary motion is thus communicated.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed, the operation of my invention will be readily understood.

The construction is simple and inexpensive.

The churn may be easily removed for the purpose of removing the butter and cleaning the churn-body. The cross-piece K at the bottom of the churn being removable, the latter may be easily and thoroughly cleaned, and the socket or bearing L being of glass, it cannot rust or corrode and thereby injure the butter 5 nor will it gather impurities of any kind, as wooden bearings are apt to do.

Having thus described my invent-ion, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States In a churn having a vertical rotary dasher, the removable cross-piece K, having glass socket L, which forms the bearing for the lower end of said dasher, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES 1?. ROGERS.
