Washing Machine Equipped with Churn Attachment
Without Impairing the Usefulness of this Washing Machine a Plunger has been Attached to the Flywheel Which Does the Work of a Churn, a Jar for the Cream being Installed as Shown
The owner of a power-driven family washing machine has provided an attachment for it with which he churns cream at a little additional expenditure of energy. A wooden plunger was bolted to the outside of the flywheel and its upper end placed between two rollers set in a metal frame attached to the side of the tub. Enough play was allowed between the rollers to permit the plunger to move up and down freely. A framework large enough to hold a glass fruit jar was attached to the side of the plunger, a thumbscrew being provided in its upper end with which the jar is held firmly in place. As the flywheel revolves, the movement of the plunger thoroughly agitates the contents of the jar.—Dale R. Van Horn, North Loup, Neb.
