Improvements in Dash Churns for Churning Butter.
I WILLIAM BENJAMIN STAGHALL of 84 Mill Street Macclesfield in the
County of Chester, Cooper, Basket Skip and Hamper Manufacturer, Glass, China,
and Earthenware Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in the ordinary dash churn, so constructed
to be used with lever or upright dash, and consists of a specially constructed dash,
grooved and perforated, which is fitted underneath with hinged flaps, which open
out with down pressure thereby thoroughly agitating the cream and producing
butter quickly, also the cover of churn has four ventilating openings of special
construction admitting in the process of churning a current of air which is highly
beneficial in the production of butter, making the particles more solid.

Improvements in Das Curs for g
I WILLIAM BENJAMIN STAGHALL of 84 Mill Street Macclesfield in the
County of Chester, Manufacturer of Dairy Cooperage, Basket Skip and Hamper
Manufacturer 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 :-
My invention consists of a plain tub E Fig. 1 with cover and hole with cup on
same to allow stail of dash D to work up and down with lever handle F attached
to either a longer stave made in the tub, or a loose iron upright G which fits in
four sockets H placed on the side of the tub or churn, which uprights have an open
bearing at the top to admit of lever handle fitted with pin through to drop in its
place, and which is kept in its place by the counterbalance, the stail of the dash is
attached to the lever with self acting cotter pin connected by chain, or to be
worked in the ordinary way without lever attachment, the dash is constructed of
horizontal bars of wood either straight or of a dovetail shape as B on Fig. 2 or of a
flat centre part of the dash which is grooved in two places K K Fig. 4 and are
attached two metal eyelets by which by which two plain flaps A Fig. 2 of wood,
metal, or any suitable material, having two corresponding eyelets, and is attached
with coupling rod C Fig. 7 to the part with horizontal bars, or holes, and which
when in motion with the lever handle F or upright stail D causes the two flaps to
work automatically, wiz. when the dash is lifted the flaps go in a vertical position,
and when the dash is pressed the flaps assume a horizontal position and push the
cream through the bars or holes, thereby thoroughly agitating the cream, and at
the same time admitting air through a conductor attached to the cover of the
churn, Fig. 5 shows the disc or dash with centre bar B from which other bevelled
horizontal bars project at equal distances, which does not show the flaps, Fig. 4
represents the two flaps which work under the horizontal bars shown in Fig. 5 the
said flaps are attached to the centre bar either with brass coupler, or a wood pin
running through two or more of the horizontal bars, Fig. 6 shows a disc perforated

page_text: with holes instead of horizontal bars, to which also the flaps as before described can
be attached, Fig. 1 shows the dash on the flat side.
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
1st. Improvements in dash churns for churning butter with the flap dashes as
herein before described, and represented in the accompanying drawings.
2nd. For the shape of the churn as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
3rd. For detachable lever which is so balanced, making it very easy to
work.
4th. For loose iron upright, for detachable lever to work in.
