To all whom it mag/ concern:

Be it known that I, BABRENT W. FnL'rnousnm of thelcity and county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented -a new and useful Improvement in Pumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description there- '.of,. which will enablethose skilled in the art to many objections, such as'` the valves gettingrusty,

and hard and rigid, and to provide for air being-conveyed to the' water' to be' pumped out of a vessel, so that the pump shall work easy-, and also to provide for measuring the water in the vessel at any time. v

'A is the deck o'f a vessel, on vwhich the pump stands.

Y B is the water-space in the bottom ofthe pump.

C are the two cylinders, in which the valves and pump-rods work. j-

D is the air-chamber.

' E is the water-basin, which the waterfalls into when raised by the pump.

' I l, the brake, with which the rods andliftingn.rives are operated.

G, fulcrum, on which the brakes work. H H, lifting-valves rods.

I, a stopecock on top of air-chamber D, which has three openings in its sides, to let air into the air-chamber, when it is unscrewed.

K-K, the lifting-valves on the rods H H.

L, leather packing on valves K.

M, the lower or stationary valves.

N,copper bushingsbetween valves M' and the metal water-space B.

These bushings keep rust from coming in contact with the leather on the valves, and thus keep the valves always pliable.

0, an air-chamber in the pipe below the water-space B, ihr the purpose of easing the water, when the pump is in motion.

P, the outside pipe below the water-space, forming.A

the air-chamber O,and.A for the conveyance of water to the pump.

Q, copper rings on the valves K. These copper rings rise above the valves, and are inside of the leather packing L, and prevent the leather packing fromrv falling inward, and getting out of place.

R, inside pipe, which forms air-chamber O. S, bow-handles to valves M, to lift them ont of pince with.

T, outside pipe, running from the pump tothe bottom of the vessel.- In'the top of. this pipe are holes lefto'pen, which permit air to pass down To the water. v, U, cap on the topfof pipe T, screwed on, to co'vcr it up.

V, a measuring-rod, inside of pipe T, and connected to cap U at'the top.l

y The cap U can be unscrewed, and the rod raised o ut of its position, and the depth ofthe water in the vessel can be determined.

- W1 Packing onl the'stop-cock-I.

. -X, brakes, with` which to work the pump. These yare not ou the model, but are necessary to work the pump.

Y,- outlet for the water toflow from reservoir E. Z, legs o f the pump.

Operation. Work the brakes X, and the water will be raised.

Whenever it is necessary for the water to be let out screw cap U and raise rod V, and the work is done.

Claims.

chamber O, pipe P, and'i'nsde pipe It, substantially .as

described.

2.l Pipe T, cap U, and. rod V, substantially as and for the purpose described.
