WILLIAM W. LILES, OF MINERAL WELLS, TEXAS.
CHURN-BODY.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 13, 1910.
Original application filed December 31, 1909, Serial No. 535,738. Divided and this application filed October
20, 1910. Serial No. 588,217.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. LILEs, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident
of Mineral Wells, county of Palo Pinto, and
5 State of Texas, have invented certain new
and useful Improvements in Churn-Bodies,
of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in
churn bodies, or receptacles in which cream
10 is to be churned into butter, and has for its
object to produce a simple, cheap and effi-
cient churn body, which shall maintain the
cream in condition best adapted for churn-
ing, the. present application being a division
15 of application filed by me December 31,1909,
Serial No. 535,738.
My invention consists in certain novel fea-
tures of constructions as will be hereinafter
fully described and pointed out in the claims,
20 reference being had to the accompanying
drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing my
body used in connection with churning
mechanism. Fig. 2- is a vertical section of
25 the same.
In carrying ofit my present invention I
use a receptacle P which is preferably of
metal and is made slightly smaller at, its
upper end than at its lower end, being sub-
30 stantially a truncated cone. At the lower
end and to one side I provide a cream draw-
off spout P' which passes from the recepta-
cle through the annular water chamber Q
which is substantially cylindrical, that is, it
35 has vertical walls; said water chamber does
not extend entirely to the top of the cream
receptacle, but, as'shown, stops short of the
upper end of the cream receptacle and has
the upper end closed by a wall p wlrich is in-
40 dined and soldered to the outer surface of
the cream receptacle, thus preventing the en-
trance of dirt or dust to the annular cham-
ber, and further protecting the water from
the effects of surrounding atmosphere. A
45 filling spout p' through the wall p serves as
a medium for filling the annular chamber, a
cork R2 or other suitable closure being used
for sealing said filling spout.Near the lower end of the annular water
chamber, is provided water draw-off R, con- 50
trolled by a stopcock R' by means of which
water may be withdrawn from the annular
chamber when so desired. A cover S hav-
ing a central opening S' to receive a dasher
shaft completes the churn body. The pur- 55
pose of the annular water chamber Q is to
regulate the temperature of the cream to suit
various conditions.
In constructing my improved churn body,
I find it desirable and preferable to have the 60
bottom of the annular chamber and the
cream receptacle coincident and coextensive,
that is, one wall serves as the bottom for
both.
While I shall generally use this churn 65
body in connection with the churning mecha-
nism described, in the application of which
this application is a division, yet it is ob-
vious that it may be used with any suitable
churning mechanism. 70
I claim:
1. A churn device consisting of a' trun-
cated cone shaped body portion and a closed
annular cylindrical water jacket surround-
ing the same, said closed annular water 75
jacket being of less extent than the height
of the body portion, the bottom of the body
portion and the jacket being coincident and
co-extensive.
2. A churn device consisting of a trun-
cated cone shaped body portion and an an-
nular cylindrical water jacket surrounding
the same from the bottom to a height slightly
above the cream line, the upper end of the
jacket being connected to the body portion 85
by an air-tight cover, the bottom of the con-
tainer and the water jacket being coincident
and co-extensive, and means for independ-
ently drawing off the contents of the con-
tainer and the water chamber.
