CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 466,072, dated December 29, 1891.

Application filed November 19, 1889. Serial No. 330,835. (No model.)

others skilled in the art to which it apper-A tainsto make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in churns.

The nature of the invention will be understood from the following description when taken in connection with accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section through the churn, and Fig. 2 atop plan thereof with a portion broken away.

In the drawings,A A represent two standards, which are suitably expanded at their lower ends to form feet, and thus give a steady support to the churn.

B B are two arms, which are pivoted to the upper ends of the standards, the'arm B preferably reaching to the top of the standard,to which it is pivoted, and the'arm B extending a suitable distance above its standard, thus forming a handle by means of which the churn may be operated.

Arms B B are secured at their lower ends to the body of the churn C upon opposite sides thereof and at points equidistant from the ends thereof.

The churn-body is of a peculiar form, approximately as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, and comprises the'flat top G, the vertical side walls H, and the longitudinallycurved transverse wall I, which wall forms the bottom of the body and continues up above the horizontal plane of the dat top G, and is v then curved inwardly and downwardly, and

I), which are connected at one end to the flat top G and take around upon the outside of the body to the bottom thereof, where their ends are angularly bent at a to receive connecting and adj usting bolts f, as better illustratedv in Fig. I of the drawings.

Arranged diagonally within the chu rn-bod y and extending from'the transverse ends of the fiat top F in an outward and downward direction to the transverse wall I are openwork frames F, which, by reason of their location,

serve to separate the wings of the body from the main portion thereof and serve to break the cream as' it is thrown up into the wings.

By the peculiar construction of the body embodying the wings it will be readily perceived that when said body is swung an upwardly-curved impetus will be imparted to the cream, which will dash up through the frames F and strike against the upper curved wall of the wings, whence it will be sprayed or dashed back through the frames. Thus it will be seen that at each movement of the body the cream will be greatly agitated and the formation of the particles of butter accelerated. In the dat top G,I outa rectangulaiopening, which is normally closed by the door AE, fastened by the turn-buttons c, through which opening the charge of cream is poured intothe body.

I am well aware of the patent granted to G. W. Cook February 28, 1844, numbered 3,460, which discloses a working-body churn of approximately semicircular form depressed in the middle of its top, so as to afford upper end wings, and which also discloses openwork frames within the body between the main portion and end wings thereof, and I therefore make no claim to such construction.

The working-body churn, substantially as described, consisting of the standards A, the arm B', pivotally connected at its upper end to the upper end of one of the standards and connected at its lower end to the churn-body,

, the arm B', pivotally connect-ed at an intermediate point in its length to the other standard at the upper end thereof and connected at its lower end to the churn-body, the said churn-,body comprising a flat top wall, two vertical side walls, and a longitudinally-curved IOO transverse wall forming the bottom of the all adapted to operate substantially as and ro body,saidcnrved transversewallbeing curved for the purpose specified. up above the horizontal piane of the fiat top In testimony whereof I affix my signature in and then curved inwardly and downwardly to presence of two witnesses.

between the main portion and wings thereof, A, T. HOPKINS.
