GEORGE B. TURNER, OF TURNERS STATION, KENTUCKY.-

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,493, dated February 10, 1880.

Application filed December 13, 1879. I

To all whom it may concern:

. Be it known that I, GEORGE REUBNER, of Turners Station, in the State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a'full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The drawing is a representation of a vertical section of my churn.

The nature of my present invention relates to-churns; and it consists in the peculiar conformation of the churn-body, as herein fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing, A designates the churnbody; B, the dasher-shaft; O, a crank-shaft,

and D a connecting-rod between the crankshaft and dasher-rod. The crank-shaft G is mounted in an elevated platform or frame, E, which is supported by four legs, F F.

G is a cog-wheel upon the crank-shaft, and H a large gear wheel which intermeshes therewith, and which is provided with a handle for rotating the same, and thus operating the dasher.

The above are all ordinarily-constructed parts, except the'churn-body A, and the 110velty in this consists in making it with an inclined base, so that while it may be moved in different places upon a table, I, it can be placed so that it will lean toward the crank-shaft G, and thus allow the dasher-rod B to work.

The object in'moving the churn-body from place to place upon the table I is, that the dasher itself may, by thus moving the body of the churn, be either raised or lowered within the churn-body, irrespective of the stroke imparted by the crank, for the purpose of permitting greater or less quantities of cream to be churned without resorting to any other adjustment. Thus, if the churn-body were directly beneath the crank-shaft U, the connecting-rod D and dasher-rod B would be vertical, and the dasher-blades would work near the bottom of the churn-body for the purpose of churning a small quantity of cream, while if the churn-body were moved to the position shown in the drawing thedasher-blades would be raised slightly higher within the churnbody, and the stroke imparted when in this last position would churn a larger quantity of cream, the inclined base causing the top of the churn-body to lean toward the crank-shaft.

What I, claim is-- In combination with the crank-shaft O and its supporting-frame E, the churn-body A, formed with an inclined base, the dasher, and connecting-rod, all as herein shown and specilied.

In testimony that I claim 'the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
