in Apparatus for
Butter.
JOSEPH CHARLES LLOYD, of 23 Watergate Street & Watergate Row, Chester,
Cooper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A "Vertical Over-end Barrel Churn" 28" high, resting on a wheel pivot propelled
by a handle attached to a spindle. The chief feature of the improvement is the
removable lid which makes a "Butter Tub" (6" in depth) which can be detached &
used after the churning, for washing & working the butter. The churn itself in the
centre is 25" in diameter & the tub at the taper end 22″. Another feature is a
detachable indiarubber washer by which the churn is made air-tight.
The churn is ventilated by a small valve placed at the side.
The above churn has a double advantage namely:-Butter tub & Churn combined.

I, JOSEPH CHARLES LLOYD, Cooper, of 23, Watergate Street, and Watergate Row,
Chester, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to over-ending or revolving barrel churns, such as are usually
mounted upon a frame and revolved on roller bearings by means of a crank handle;
and has for its object to produce a combined churn and tub, in which latter the butter
may be washed and worked after churning.
In the drawing hereto annexed Figure 1 is an elevation of a combined churn and
tub, in position for churning. Figure 2 shews the churn and tub apart. Figure 3.
is a cross-section of the churn and tub, and Figure 4 is a detail.
Upon reference to the drawings it will be seen that a is the churn, b the tub, and c
the cradle or frame of the churn. Whilst churning is in progress the tub b is
clamped on the top of the churn a, by the clamps d. After churning has been
completed and it is necessary to work and wash the butter, the tub b is removed from
the churn a, being provided with handles e for this purpose. The butter may then
be removed from the churn and transferred to the tub b.
In order that there may be a tight joint between the tub and churn, I prefer the
form of joint shewn at Figure 4, which consists of two hoops, f and g, one on each
side of the rim of the churn, and projecting upwardly beyond the same, so as to

page_text: form a channel in which is placed a loose india rubber ring h. The advantage of this
joint is that the ring h may be removed and cleansed after each churning.
Across the bottom of the cradle or frame c are provided battens i, upon which the
form a channel in which is placed a loose india rubber ring h. The advantage of this
joint is that the ring h may be removed and cleansed after each churning.
Across the bottom of the cradle or frame c are provided battens i, upon which the
tub o may rest.
On the orifice j is provided the usual valve for ventilating the churn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. An over-ending barrel churn whereof the upper portion is detachable and
adapted to be used as a tub to which butter may be transferred from the churn and
there worked and washed, substantially as described with reference to the drawing.
2. As a joint for the combined churn and tub herein described, the two hoops f
and g, projecting above the rim of the churn and forming a channel for the
removable rubber ring h, as herein described and illustrated in the drawing.
