PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Vessels for Churning Milk or Cream.
EPHRAIM TAYLOR of 74 Blakey Moor Blackburn in the County of Lancaster
Manufacturer of Fuel Economisers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The first part of my invention relates to churning milk or cream and consists of
a vessel formed at the ends partly V shape and partly diamond shape. I place
a log of wood at the bottom of the V shape inside the vessel longitudinal having
pegs attached in a vertical position. I place at each end of the aforesaid vessel
suitable bearings to carry the said vessel. I place the aforesaid vessel horizontally
in suitable framework the framework having suitable bearings attached to carry
the aforesaid vessel. I then fix a crank shaft in suitable bearings attached to the
aforesaid framework having a connecting rod attached to the crank shaft and
vessel. I place a fly wheel on the aforesaid crank shaft having a handle attached.
The fly wheel when put in motion gives a rocking motion to the aforesaid vessel.
I attach a handle to the aforesaid vessel so that the vessel can be rocked same as
rocking a cradle the fly wheel controlling the action of the vessel causing the milk
or liquid to flow from one side of the said vessel to the other and coming in contact
with the vertical pegs or breakers causing better agitation of the milk or liquid
thereby producing more and better butter than by any other known method.

Improvements in Vessels for Churning Milk or Cream.
EPHRAIM TAYLOR 74 Blakey Moor Blackburn in the County of Lancaster
Manufacturer of Fuel Economisers 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 :-
The first part of my invention relates to churning milk or cream and consists of a
vessel formed at the ends partly V shape and partly diamond shape as shewn on
Figure 3 and 5.
place at each end of the vessel a rib formed V shape as shewn on Figure 3
and 4.
At each end of the vessel suitable bearings are attached to carry the said vessel
in a horizontal position as shewn on Figure 5.
I place the aforesaid vessel horizontally in suitable framework having the
bearings attached near the centre of the ends thus partly balancing the weight and
saving labour.
I then fix a crank shaft in suitable bearings attached to the aforesaid frame-
work having a connecting rod attached to the crank and vessel or a fly wheel
shaft marked a on Figure 1 in proper bearings attached to the said framework having
an excentric attached marked on Figure 1 the excentric when put in motion comes
in contact with the vertical ribs marked c on Figure 1 and 5 attached to the
aforesaid vessel and gives a rocking motion to the vessel, the said vessel having
suitable fixings attached lined with rubber marked d on Figure 1 and 5 which
comes in contact with the spring marked e on Figure 1 attached to the aforesaid
framework causing the vessel to bump thereby causing better agitation of the milk
or cream thereby producing more and better butter than by any other known
method.

shaft excentric and spring.
Fig. 2. shews front view of same.
Fig. 3. gives section, shewing construction of the vessel with flanges on top
edges.

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. The construction of the said vessel and shape.
2. The position in which the bearings are placed on the end of the vessel so as
to partly balance the same when put in motion by the fly wheel and excentric or by
the handle in front.
