WILLIAM L. HALEY, OF CLEBURNE, TEXAS.
CHURN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 562,296, dated June 16, 1896.
Application filed August 10, 1895. SerialNo, 558,917, (No model,)To all zohonb it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. HALEY, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Cle-
burne, in the county of Johnson and State of
5 Texas, have invented new and useful Im-
provements in Motors for Churns, of which
the following is a specification.
My invention relates to means for adjust-
ably securing a series of vertically-arranged
so breakers in a churn-body of any size, oper-
ating with a revolving dasher; and it con-
sists in features of construction and novel
combinations of parts, as hereinafter more
particularly set forth.
15 In the annexed drawings, illustrating the
invention, Figure 1 is a partly-sectional ele-
vation of a churn with its revolving dasher
and the motor therefor. Fig. 2 is a perspec-
tive of the detachable bracket and bracket-
20 arm with rotary spindle and pivotally-at-
tached socket for connection with the shaft
or rod of a rotary dasher. Fig. 3 is a per-
spective of the series of breakers and their
adjustable connecting-band. Fig. 4 is a de-
25 tail view of said adjustable band.
Referring first to Fig. 1, the numerals 1 and
2 designate the parallel uprights of a suitable
frame in which a horizontally-arranged ro-
tary shaft 3 is mounted. The rotary shaft 3
30 is journaled in the uprights 1 and 2 and may
represent the axle of a grindstone or fly-
wheel 4, mounted between said uprights, as
shown. The grindstone may be clamped, by
means of bolts 5, between the flanged or disk
35 ends 6 of a sleeve 7, secured to the rotary
axle or shaft. On one end of the shaft or
axle 3 is a crank 8, or any other suitable
means may be provided for rotating said
shaft or axle, whether by hand or power.
40 The other end of the shaft or axle 3 is ex-
tended beyond the frame of the machine and
carries a bevel gear-wheel 9, through which
power may be applied to the dasher or churn,
as presently explained.
45 To the top of one of the machine-uprights,
as 2, is secured a detachable bracket 10, hav-
ing on its opposite vertical side edges the de-
pending straps or arms 11, in each of which
is a longitudinal slot 12 for passage of a
So thumb-screw 13 by which the said bracket is
detachably and adjustably fastened to its
said supporting-upright. The outer side ofthe bracket 10 has detachably secured thereto,
by screws 14 or otherwise, a Ihorizontally-
projecting bracket-arm 15, on the outer end 55
of which are formed bearings 16 for a verti-
cally-arranged and depending spindle 17, the
upper end of which is provided with a nut
18, by which the said spindle is suspended in
such manner that it may be rotated freely in 6o
its said bearings. Below the arm 15 the
spindle 17 is provided with and carries a
bevel gear-wheel 19, arranged to mesh with
the similar gear-wheel 9 on the axle or shaft
3 of the grindstone or fly-wheel. 65
The lower end of the rotary spindle 17 has
rigidly connected to, or formed thereon, a
socket 20, Figs. 1 and 2, adapted to receive
the shank portion 21 of a detachable and piv-
otally-connected socket-piece 22, the connec- 70
tion between the rigid socket 20 and the
shank 21 being effected by means of a split
pin 23, or other suitable device, and the parts
being so arranged that the lower or pivoted
socket 22 will have a slight degree of flexi- 75
bility. Into this lower socket 22 is inserted
the upper end of the rod or shaft 24 of a ro-
tary churn-dasher 25, as shown in Fig. 1.
The pivotally-attached or yielding socket-
piece 22 affords a flexible connection between 8o
the rotary spindle 17 and the dasher shaft or
rod 24 to allow a suitable side play to the
dasher and obviate any stiffness in the oper-
ation. The pivotally-supported socket-piece
22 may, however, be dispensed with and the 85
dasher shaft or rod be then inserted into the
fixed socket 20 on the rotary spindle. The
adjustability of the bracket 10 on the upright
2 facilitates a proper engagement of the gears
9 and 19 and a suitable connection of the mo- 90
tor with the shaft or rod of the rotary dasher.
It is obvious that rotation of the shaft or axle
3 will impart a similar movement to the churn-
dasher, and at the same time a grindstone,
mounted on and rotated with said shaft or 95
axle, may be applied to its usual specific pur-
poses.
The rotary dasher 25 consists of a flat ver-
tically-arranged blade 26, having a series of
inclined wings 27 on each side, the said wings ic o
being segmental in form and inclined in re-
verse directions on opposite sides of the blade
26, so as to impart somewhat of a spiral form
to the dasher.
