Complete Specification Left, 22nd Aug., 1895-Accepted, 28th Sept., 1895
EDWARD ARTHUR GOODCHILD, of Blois Hall, Sible Hedingham, in the
County of Essex, Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has reference to a novel and useful method of construction of
churning apparatus, and is designed to expedite, render uniform and improve, the
production of butter.
In carrying out my invention I employ a cream containing bowl, barrel, or
vessel, of circular and preferably basin form with a cover, or lid of somewhat domed
form with central opening and preferably incurved edges thereto. This opening
may be temporarily covered when desired.
This vessel is suitably supported on a stand of convenient form and height.
Vertically is arranged a spindle mounted in bearings in the framing of the stand
and this spindle passes through a suitably fitted or packed opening in the bowl and
on the spindle at the lower part of the bowl (so that it may rotate well below the
floating butter particles) is mounted a screw or propellor and this is driven by
gearing on the spindle and a cross shaft on which is other gearing engaging a gear
wheel mounted on a handle shaft, or power may be employed.
A suitable closable opening is provided for the running off of the butter milk.
Suitable means of connection between the bowl and cover are provided capable
of readily being released.
By this arrangement of basin substantially open to the air during churning
allowing the air to have free access to the matters operated upon, greatly improved
results can be attained, great simplicity and cleanliness are secured and cheapness
in construction: the butter is produced in granular form and with great expedition,
whilst no gearing or framing need interfere with free access to the bowl.

I EDWARD ARTHUR GOODCHILD of Blois Hall, Sible Hedingham, in the
County of Essex, Gentleman 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 :-
This invention has reference to a novel and useful method of construction of
churning apparatus, and is designed to expedite, render uniform and improve, the
production of butter.
In carrying out my invention I employ a cream containing bowl, barrel, or vessel,
of circular and preferably basin form with a cover, or lid of somewhat domed form

page_text: with central opening and preferably incurved edges thereto. This opening may be
temporarily covered when desired.

The vessel is suitably supported on a stand of convenient form and height.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
>>
Fig. 1 shews by side view the improved churn, the lower portion of the stand
being shewn broken away for the convenience of the drawing.
Fig. 2 shews the improved churn by a plan view, with the lid or cover removed.
Fig. 3 shews by plan view a portion of the stand and the gearing for operating
the churn.
Fig. 4 shews by a vertical sectional view the vessel and attached parts.
Fig. 5 shews by a perspective side view a fastening for connecting the vessel to
the stand, in closed position.

Fig. 6 shews a like view of the same in open position.

The cream containing vessel a has a cover b, provided with a central opening b¹.
This opening may be closed when desired by the peg b³
Although the opening 6 is shewn in a central position it may be eccentrically
placed, or two openings may be used one centrally and one eccentrically.
A glazed opening callows the contents to be examined during the progress of
granulation or butter making."
1.
Vertically is'arranged a spindle d mounted in bearings d', in the framing A of
the stand, and this spindle d passes through a suitable opening 6 in the bowl or
vessel a, and on the spindle at the lower part of the bowl (so that it may rotate
well below the floating butter particles) is mounted a screw propeller or dasher f.
The propeller is driven by means of a worm g on the spindle d' which engages
with a worm wheel gon a cross shaft 9' carried by bearings '93, 93 on the framing A.
The shaft is caused to rotate by means of a handle or power may be
'employed.
14.
+-
A suitable closable opening 6 is provided for the running off of the butter milk.
The underside of the vessel a has studs a' which fit into sockets a' in the stand A
thereby ensuring the vessel being placed in correct position:
Suitable means of connection between the bowl a and cover bare provided,
capable of readily being released. The links are hinged to brackets h', and 'when
these links are turned over the lugs or projections the cover 6 is securely held to
the bowl.
Connections substantially similar to these serve to hold the vessel upon its stand,
see Figs. 5 and 6. The cover b is provided with a seating of india rubber or
other suitable material.
By this arrangement of basin substantially open to the air during churning
allowing the air to have free access to the matters operated upon, greatly improved
results can be attained, great simplicity and cleanliness are secured and cheapness
in construction: the butter is produced in granular form and with great expedition,
whilst no gearing or framing need interfere with free access to the bowl.
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. In a churn the use of a screw propeller or dasher of the character indicated,
located at the lower part of the churning chamber in combination with means for
driving the same applied from beneath said chamber and a bowl shaped churning
chamber or cream container, substantially as set forth and illustrated by the
drawings.
2. In a churn a screw propeller of the kind indicated, a spindle supporting and
driving the same from below, suitable driving gear for said spindle and propeller,
a bowl shaped churning chamber preferably with cover removable, all substantially
as set forth.

page_text: 3. In a churn, a screw propeller, rotated as described, a churning chamber
removable from its stand, a removable cover to said chamber, a hole or holes in said
cover by means of which the matters operated upon have access to the air,
substantially as set forth.
