J. HAHN. PUMP FITTING. APPLIGATION FILED JUNE 2o, 1910.

To all 'whom it mdp/concern: Be` it known that '1,' Jonav HAHN, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the countyr of Los vAngeles and lState of California. have invented a new. and useful Rump-Fitting, of which the following is la specification'. y

This inventionrelate's to a device adapted' tohe appliejdlat-.the'ftop yoif-a deep well to,

facilitate 'the `ipnstallz'ltion, "operation -and adaptedv for use in {in st'allin'g,` operating, removing andv replacing `"c'asing,""'pump tubing and sucker' rods iand from wells.

A. further object is to 'provide anap'pliance, whichf'will prevent the'l liability of dropping the sucker-rod `olv-tubing into the'4 well during the proce of lowering and elevatingthe same and' to provide a. wrench to hold themsucker-rodand the .tubing from.

The tubing-head or coupling l is provided g0n;diametrically opposite sides ,with pivots 2 and on'ot-her diametrie'ally opposite sides' 'midway between the pivots 2 with orifices '3 formed in a projectingrimtpreferablyinf tex-nally beveled and is also provided inter- Anally with a screw-threaded socket 5 at the lower end and a screw-threaded socket 6 at the upper end and with lan inwardly projecting shoulder 7 between the sockets 5 and. rG. The pivots 2 are adapted to receive an elevator bail 8 by which the conpling-head 41 may` behandled inlowering, elevating,

screwing and unscrewing it. The orifices 3 are adapted to receive and loosely fulerum .detachable levers of tht: first-class comprisingahandles 9.of any desired shape and comc1-amp jaw shownfin Figs.. n-eand 3, which catcher shownin prising tapered, wedge-shaped clamping jaws 10. The loweriscrew-threaded socket 5 is adapted to" screw onto the tubing 11 and the -upper screw-threaded socket 6 is adapted to seatv the pump head 12;

Two forms oi clamping jaws are shown in the drawings. The form 10,being adapted and which' rod is provided .at its upper end with a head 14 in which the ribs terminate.

Said jaws 10 are provided with tapered for supporting theribbed sucker rodjl3, described in my said vformer application,

A' j By reeren'ce'to Fig. 2 it will beseen that the coupling-head 1 is adapted to-servejasan elevator forth'e suckerrod lltwhen the jaws are closed on the Iribbed body of the sucker rod, provided the.. coupling head is unscrewedfrom the tubing; and that; the

The up er screw-threaded socket of the coupling ead adaptsthe coupling-head for the reception of the pump head 12, and said pump head is `provided with'a laterally pro jecting spout 21, and above said spout with a packing chamber 22 which tapers 'flownward at its lower end and is'provided at its jupper end with'ascrewfthreaded seat 23y for the'packing gland-324; #Inside thefsaid 4chamber 22 is providedl a jresilient packingl sleeve 25 which is` tapered from the middle toward both ends and is ireversely slitted 70. from its ends; the slits'26'from one end extending beyond the slits 27 from the other pressed toward its axis.
