PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Working Butter and the like.
1, RICHARD WAIDE, Churn Manufacturer, of Crown Point Road, Leeds, in
the County of York do hereby declare the nature this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention for improvements in apparatus for working butter relates to the
construction of apparatus employed in dairies and in which the washing, working
and salting of the butter or other substance is performed by means of suitably
formed rollers which are caused to traverse a table on which the substance to be
worked is placed.
In an apparatus constructed according to this invention the surface of the table
on which-the working is effected is in the form of an inverted arch, that is to say,
it is inclined downwards from each end towards the centre where there are a series
of holes through which the whey, water and other liquid expressed out of or
draining from the butter-milk is removed, the said holes being stopped when desired
by suitable plugs.
The butter working roller is formed with suitable corrugations or grooves and is
operated by means of a suitable winch handle. The roller is removably mounted
in a traversing carriage having side frames connected together by a transverse
traversing handle and being provided with guide rollers working in suitable
corresponding guides secured to the sides of the table. When not in use the roller
carriage may be removed from the table out of the way.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Working Butter and the like.
I RICHARD WAIDE, Churn Manufacturer, of Crown Point Road, Leeds, in
the County of York, 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 for improvements in apparatus for working butter relates to the
construction of apparatus employed in dairies and in which the washing, working
and salting of the butter or other substance is performed by means of suitably
formed rollers which are caused to traverse a table on which the substance to be
worked is placed.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings
Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation of an apparatus constructed according to this
invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan, and
Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same.
Fig. 4 is an end elevation of traversing roller carriage.
A table a on which the working of the butter or the like is effected is in the form
of an inverted arch, that is to say, it is inclined downwards from each end towards
the centre where there is a hole b through which the buttermilk, whey, water and
other liquid expressed out of or draining from the butter is removed.

page_text: The butter working roller is formed with corrugations or teeth c and is operated
by means of a winch handle d. The roller is removably mounted in a traversing
carriage the spindle e being slid into slots f and held in position by pins g. The
side frames h of the traversing carriage are connected together by the transverse
traversing handle i and guide rollers 1 m, running on guide ribs n o, are mounted on
the carriage frames to facilitate its free reciprocation along the table.
When not in use the roller carriage may be withdrawn from the table a and
placed upon the cross bar p secured to the legs g of the table.
A butter making slab r is also provided on which the butter or the like is further
manipulated.
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. In a butter working apparatus; forming the surface of the table to slope from
the ends towards the centre substantially as described.
2. The arrangement and construction of apparatus for working butter and the
like substantially as described with reference to the drawings.
