Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. Only the patent drawing is available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“This churn is made in the form of the common dasher churn, but larger. The head is to be secured on by a cleat; a shaft passes through the head, which is to be turned by a crank, in the manner of the ordinary barrel churn; revolving dashers, placed spirally, are attached to the shaft, within the churn.
The body of the churn is to be laid upon a bench, standing obliquely, its axis forming an angle of about 35 degrees with the horizon.
The spiral direction of the floats, or dashers, and the oblique position of the churn, form the claims.
From good cream, this churn may make good butter, as quickly as other churns, and with as little waste, provided the loose head be well fitted and secured, and the cream does not escape at the shaft.”
Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 6, Sept. 1829 pg. 177
