Double-Motion Dasher Churn: One Crank Spins One Dasher and Plunges the Other

Hall combined "a vertical reciprocating-dasher with a horizontal rotary-dasher so as to break and agitate the cream in two directions at once." Alexander Hall of Loydsville, Ohio, received US 6,777, dated 9 October 1849, for a churn with a vertical spindle carrying a rotary dasher at its foot, turned by a bevel pinion and wheel from a horizontal driving shaft on the lid; a crank on the inner end of that shaft works, through a rod, a reciprocating dasher on a tubular stem sliding on the spindle, so "the currents produced by either dasher are broken and distorted by the other." This rung works out the two motions, then prints a crown wheel and lantern, the two dashers, builds the drive on a box lid, and makes butter.
