Whirl-Cone Splash-Guard Churn: A Whirl Feeds Air to a Cone, a Funnel Keeps the Cream In

Young set out to mingle "a large quantity of air" with the milk and to stop it "splashing out of the churn without interfering with the free action of the dasher." John Young of West Galway, New York, received US 7,046, dated 22 January 1850, for an atmospheric churn: a geared spindle carrying a flat plate at its foot, an inverted conical vessel open at its top with wings on its rim, inverted channels on the plate leading out from the cone, and a spiral wing up the spindle. A loose inverted funnel on brackets near the top of the tub, with a small disk on the spindle partly closing its hole, returns whatever is thrown up. This rung looks at the whirl, then prints the cone dasher, spiral wing, funnel and disk, fits them in a bucket, and makes butter.
