page_text: JOHN DAVID JONES, Dolgoch, Bethesda, Bangor, North Wales, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To have a churn with crossblades revolving inside, which receive their motion
from the outside. On the outside I place a bearing, and an axle with a flange on
one end and four studs in the flange, fits this bearing, this axle is placed with the
studs on the inside of the churn, on one end of the blades there is a plate with
4 holes, to fit the 4 studs, on the other end of the blades opposite this plate, in
the centre there is fastened a piece of iron with a hole in it like a nut, in this
nut fits a screw, with a point on one end and a small handwheel on the other
end, this screw is locked in the first nut by a second nut, the point of the screw
projecting outwards from the blades goes into a small bearing on the side of the
churn which is opposite the first bearing.
Dated this Eleventh day of March 1898.
I, JOHN DAVID JONES, Dolgoch, Bethesda, Bangor, North Wales, Engineer, 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:-
To have a churn with crossblades revolving inside, which receive their motion
from the outside. On the outside I place a bearing, and an axle with a flange on
one end and four studs in the flange fits this bearing. This axle is placed with the
studs on the inside of the churn. On one end of the blades there is a plate with
4 holes to fit the 4 studs, on the other end of the blades opposite this plate, in
the centre there is fastened a piece of iron with a hole in it like a nut. In this
nut fits a screw with a point on one end and a small handwheel on the other
end. This screw is locked in the first nut by a second nut, the point of the screw
projecting otwards from the blades goes into a small bearing on the side of the
churn which is opposite the first bearing.
For purposes of illustration I will now refer to the annexed drawings, in
which;
-
Figure 1, is a sectional elevation showing my invention.
Figure 2, end elevation of movable churn looking into the direction of arrow 2.

page_text: Referring to Figure 1, 6 is the casing which carries the churn and is provided
with a lid a hinged at 62. The churn proper is formed of the bars b and c which
are suitably connected in any convenient manner. is a spindle which is operated
by the crank & handle m being carried in the bearing secured to the casing b.
c is a plate or disc carried by this spindle and provided with the projections f
which engage in apertures in the plate d, which is secured to the bars c. This
plate is provided with projection o for the purpose of regulating the distance at
which the projections enter the apertures in the plate d. is a plate having
an aperture therein, said aperture being screw-threaded and adapted to engage
with a screw thread upon the spindle . The end of this spindle h may be caused
to engage in the aperture ¹ in the plate j which is secured to the casing b¹. By
this arrangement it will be seen that the pressure exerted by the spindle h when
engaging in the aperture in the plate i will maintain the bars b and c in
position, at the same time rendering the joint at c¹ between the plate or disc e
and the bearing tight, so as to prevent leakage. The locking nut i is for the
purpose of securing the spindle h in the required position, this spindle being
operated by the hand wheel g or such like convenient means. The dotted lines
indicate the spindle h within its operative position. By this arrangement it
will be seen that by releasing the spindle h from aperture j¹ in plate ; the
bars etc., forming the churn may be readily removed, such as for the purpose
of cleansing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed. I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In churns: the combined construction and arrangement of the various parts
substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
2. In churns; an outer casing provided with a lid, said casing being adapted
to carry a rotatable plate or disc, having projections, and so arranged as to
rotate a churn or frame, said churn or frame being provided with an adjustable
bearing for the purpose of facilitating the removal of the churn or frame when
required, the rotation of the moving parts being effected in any convenient
manner such as by means of a handle or winch, substantially as described and
illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
3. In churns of the class herein described: a churn or frame having at one
end a plate with perforations or apertures therein and a central projection upon
said plate, said perforations or apertures being adapted to engage upon studs or
projections upon a rotable dise or plate in the interior of the casing, and at the
other end of said churn or frame a plate having a screw aperture therein through
which a screw spindle passes, said screw spindle being locked in the required
position by means of a locking nut or suchlike and having a hand wheel for
adjusting the position of said spindle, the end of which bears in a recess in a
plate secured to the inside of the casing aforesaid, substantially as described and
illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
