PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Churning Apparatus.
I, THOMAS BRADFORD, of 140 High Holborn, in the County of London, Dairy
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement applicable to the novel forms of
churning drums or rollers used in box churning apparatus, described in the
Specifications of Patents No. 18825 and 24011 of 1893 granted to me, the primary
object of the improvement being to permit of the granulated butter being removed
from the churning vessel by suitably formel scoops, without firstly requiring the
removal therefrom of the drum-dash or roller, whereby any likelihood of the hand
coming in contact with the butter in the act of removing the drum or roller is
avoided; other incidental advantages hereinafter referred to being also obtained.
To this end, the invention consists mainly in the formation of the drum or
roller of a cylindrical or equivalent formation as described in the Specifications of
such Patents with a segment thereof cut off by a plane running parallel with the
axis, so forming a flat side adapted to leave a space between it and either of
the sides of the churning vessel sufficiently wide to permit of the removal of
the granulated butter from the churning vessel by suitably formed scoops as
aforesaid.
When applying such improvement to drum-like dashes of the nature described
in the Specification of my Patent 18825 of 1893, the projecting beaters or fingers
are applied only to the cylindrical periphery of the drum so as to leave the
aforesaid space quite clear for the removal as aforesaid of the butter, by which
means I am further enabled to reduce the number of such fingers and the required
driving power without detracting from the efficiency of the action of the dash.
The drum or roller may have segments thereof as aforesaid removed on opposite
sides if required, and in lieu of such side or sides being flat it or they may be
slightly concave.

An Improvement in Churning Apparatus.
I, THOMAS BRADFORD, of 140, High Holborn, in the County of London, Dairy
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said 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 an improvement applicable to the novel forms of
churning drums or rollers used in box churning apparatus described in the
Specifications of Patents No. 18825 and 24011 of 1893, granted to me, the primary
object of the improvement being to permit of the granulated butter being removed
from the churning vessel by suitably formed scoops, without firstly requiring the
removal therefrom of the drum-dash or roller, whereby any likelihood of the hand

page_text: coming in contact with the butter in the act of removing the drum or roller is
avoided.
To this end, the invention consists mainly in the formation of the drum or roller
of a cylindrical or equivalent formation, as described in the Specifications of such
Patents, examples of which are represented in Figs. 1 to 3 of the accompanying
drawings, with a segment thereof a, cut off in a plane running parallel with the
axis of the drum or roller b, so forming the latter with a flat side adapted to leave
a space c, between it and either of the sides of the churning vessel d, sufficiently
wide to permit of the removal of the granulated butter from the vessel by suitably
formed scoops, as required.
When applying such improvement to drum-like dashes of the nature described
in the Specification of said Patent 18825 of 1893 vide Figs. 1 and 2 of the
accompanying drawings, the projecting fingers or beaters e, are applied only to the
cylindrical periphery of the drum b, (so as to leave the aforesaid space c, quite
unobstructed for the removal, as aforesaid, of the butter) and are preferably
grouped together on opposite parts of the drum, as represented, instead of being
arranged equidistant around the drum, as represented in the drawings accompanying
the Specification of said Patent 18825 of 1893.
The drum or roller may have segments thereof, as aforesaid, removed on opposite
sides, if required, and in lieu of such side or sides being flat, as in Figs. 1 and 2,
it or they may be slightly concaved as in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The formation of churning drums or rollers of the nature aforesaid used in box
churning apparatus with a side or sides thereof flattened or otherwise equivalently
formed as and for the purpose herein before described.
