HENRY SAGGAN, NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

Letters Patent No. 108,297, dated October 11, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY SAGGAN, ot Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Churn; and I do hereby declare that the following 'is a full, clear, andl exact description oi' the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specifica-tion.4

tlhis invention relates to a new and improved.

churn, of that class in which the agitation of the cream is produced by a rocking motion of'the creamreceptacle.

The object of the invention is to simplify und ren der more practicable than hitherto this class of churns, as hereinafter fully shown and described.

In the accompanyingdrawing- Figure lis a side view of my invention.

Figure 2, a plan or top view of the same.

Figure 3, a detached plan view of' the creamaeceptacle with vthe lid removed.

Figure 4, a detached view of one of the perforated partitions pertaining to the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several ijgures.

A is the cream-receptacle, which is constructed in the form of 'an oval, and of staves, a, properly bound with hoops b.

This cream -rec'eptaclc rests upon rockers, B B, which are fitted upon ways, C C, connected at a suitable distance apart by transverse bars.

In the lower edge ofthe center of each rocker there is made a notch, e, and in these notches a oross-ba'r, d, on the ways G G, is fitted.

This cross-bar, fitting in the notches c c, prevents the longitudinal sliding and displacement ofthe Vroekcrs, and upright flanges e, on the ways C C, prevent any lateral displacement thereof.

Within the cream-receptacle A, there are placed a series, three or more, of perforated partitions, D, which serve to prevent the cream having a regular ornninterrupted motion from end to end of thereceptacle, and thereby favor the agitation. of the cream and the formation ot' butter.

Theoval form of the cream-receptacle is important` for it admits ofthe ready return of the cream at each change of mot-ion of the rockers without sudden jars or concussious, the latter serving greatly to retard a free rocking motion of the device without producing any benelicial results, for the agitation of the cream is required in making butter, not percussion, which is important only so i'ar as'ittends to promote agit-ation.

I do not claim a churn composed of a cream-receptacle placed on rockers, for they are old and well known, and have been arranged in various ways;`

but

I do claim as new and desire to `secure by Letters Patent- The arrangement of the oval cream-receptacle A, having partitions D D D, with the rockers'B B, having notches c o, cross-bar d, and `ways C C, all con# strnctcd to opera-te as described.

HENRY SAGGAN.
