Complete Specification Accepted, 21st Dec., 1888
I, THOMAS BRADFORD, of High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Laundry
and Dairy Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention to be as
follows:-
This Invention relates to certain improvements in or applicable' to the construction
of butter workers, and has especial reference to certain improvements upon or
applicable to the class of butter working apparatus described in the specification of
Letters Patent granted to me No. 4455, dated 30th March, 1886, and upon or
applicable to the butter working apparatus therein referred to as forming the subject
of Letters Patent granted to me No. 802, dated 14th February 1883.
An especial object of the said improvements is to render the trough or table upon
which the butter is worked by the fluted roller, afterwards available for use in its
ordinary position in making up the butter for market, so as to avoid the present
necessity (in using such apparatus for such purpose) of removing the mass of worked
butter and reversing the table, and this object I accomplish by making the front side
or an end of the trough or table removable therefrom (instead of permanently securing
it thereto as hitherto) and adapting it in such a manner that it may be at any time
secured in position for use as a butter worker, and removed when it is desired to use
the trough as a butter making table.
The removable side or end is adapted with depending screws carrying winged nuts,
and the adjacent side or end of the bottom of the trough or table is adapted with
a longitudinal rib or board which is slotted for the reception of the said screws, which
when the side or end is being placed in position can be laterally slid into such slots,
the bottom of the said removable side or end resting upon the top of the said rib or
board, and being fixed and secured for the time being by screwing up the said winged
nuts against the underside of the said rib or board. The said side or end can be at
any time removed upon simply loosening the said winged nuts without unscrewing
the latter so as to remove them from the screws,

page_text: Another object of the said improvements is to render the butter working roller
readily removable from its carriage in order that it may be more effectually cleansed
and in order that the carriage may be more conveniently removed from the trough or
table when required. Such improvement is especially applicable to the construction
of the carriage described in the said latter Patent. In such apparatus as hitherto
constructed the roller has been so applied to the carriage as that it could not be
readily removed therefrom, its spindle being passed endways through closed bearings,
but in accordance with the present improvenients such carriage is made with inclined
open slotted bearings into which the spindle of the roller with the roller thereon can
be instantly placed, and from which it can be instantly removed, it being when in
position for the time secured by removable pins passing through the opposite jaws of
the bearings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or Applicable to the Construction of Butter.
Workers.
I, THOMAS BRADFORD, of High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, Laundry
and 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 certain improvements in or applicable to the construction
of butter workers, and has especial reference to certain improvements upon or
applicable to the class of butter working apparatus described in the Specification of
Letters Patent granted to me No. 4455, dated 30th March, 1886, and upon or
applicable to the butter working apparatus therein referred to as forming the subject
of Letters Patent granted to me No. 802, dated 14th February, 1883.
An especial object of the present improvements is to render the trough or table
upon which the butter is worked by the fluted roller, afterwards available for use in
its ordinary position in making up the butter for market, so as to avoid the present
necessity (in using such apparatus for such purpose) of removing the mass of worked
butter and reversing the table, and this object I accomplish by making the front side
or an end of the trough or table removable therefrom (instead of permanently securing
it thereto as hitherto) and adapting it in such a manner that it may be at any time
secured in position for use as a butter worker, and removed when it is desired to use
the trough as a butter making table.
When a side of the trough is rendered removable I prefer to apply it in the manner
represented in Figs. 1. and 2. of the accompanying drawings which represent
perspective views respectively of the trough and of the removable side.
In such Figures, 4, represents the removable side which is adapted with depending
screws, 5, carrying winged nuts, 6, the adjacent side of the bottom of the trough or
table 7, being formed as or adapted with a longitudinal rib or board, 8, which is
slotted as at 9, for the reception of the screws, 5, which when the side, 4, is being
placed in position can be laterally slid into such slots, the bottom of the removable
side resting upon the top of the rib or board, 8, and being fixed and secured for the
time being by screwing up the winged nuts, 6, against the underside of the rib or
board. The side, 4, can be at any time removed upon simply loosening the winged
nuts, 6, without unscrewing the latter so as to remove them from the screws.
When an end of the trough is rendered removable I prefer to apply it in the
manner represented in Fig. 3. which represents a side view of the table together with
the roller and its carriage.
In such case the removable end, 10, shown as removed, may be formed with
projecting ribs, 11, fitting into inclined grooves, 12, made in the adjacent ends of the
opposite sides, 4, of the trough, the bottom of the said end piece resting flush on the
bottom board of the trough.

page_text: The side or end which is rendered removable is the higher side or end of the trough
so that the butter-milk will run away from it.
Another object of the present improvements is to render the butter working
roller, 13, readily removable from its carriage, 14, in order that it may be more
effectually cleansed and in order that the carriage may be more conveniently
removed from the trough or table when required. Such improvement is especially
applicable to the construction of the carriage described in the said latter Patent.
In such apparatus as hitherto constructed the roller has been so applied to the
carriage as that it could not be readily removed therefrom, its spindle, 15, being
passed endways through closed bearings, but in accordance with the present improve-
iments such carriage is made with inclined, horizontal or other suitably disposed open
slotted bearings, 16, vide Fig. 3. into which the spindle, 15, of the roller, 13, with
the roller thereon can be instantly placed, and from which it can be instantly removed,
it being when in position for the time secured by removable pins, 17, passing through
the opposite jaws of the bearings, 16.
When the apparatus is not in use as a butter worker and it is required that it
should be used as a making-up table, the removable side or end thereof is removed
(the roller and its carriage should also preferably be removed from the trough) when
the operator standing opposite the open side or end of the trough can use it for the
purpose required.
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.-
-
The hereinbefore described improvements in or applicable to the construction of
butter working apparatus of the class hereinbefore referred to, the same consisting in ;
1. Constructing the trough or table with a removable side or end substantially as
and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2. Constructing the carriage of the butter working roller with open bearings for
the roller spindle substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
