IMROVEMENT 1N PUMPS.

The Schedule referred to in these LettersvPatent and making part of the .same

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENNETT C. BAILEY, of Constitution, in the `county* of Vashington and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement ing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view;

Figure 2 is au elevation of one of the eccentrics and pump-rods; and

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the chamber, showing the interior construction in dotted lines.

The same letters are employed in all the figures in the indication of the same parts.

My improvement consists in the arrangement of a series Of pump-cylinders in vone case, said cylinders being connected by intermediate chambers formed in the case so that the water shall 'flow through the series, entering at the bottom of one cylinder and escaping from the top thereof into the next in the. series, each cylinder having its own plunger. i

The said plungers are operated by eccentrics placed on one driving-shaft, and are so set thatthey shali be in diil'erent partsof their strokes at the same time, so as to cause a continuous discharge of the water from the spout, andalso to canse a uniform andv con` tinuous resistance in order to maintain the regular equal resistance incident to pumps having a single plunger eject-ing the water only as the plunger rises.

In the' annexed drawings-- A is` a metallic case, in which the pumps are all inclosed, the plunger-s playing vertically in a series of tubes, a, al, f, and c, v

The tube a is connected with the water in the well by a pipe opening into it at the bottom. These tubes are connected on the sidcs so as to form two compartments in the ease, one on each side ofthe tubes.

Partitions are extended across one of the compartments from the tubes aI and a?, to the case, Vso as to subdivide it into three separate compartments.

The water drawn into the tube a tiows ont through a hole in the top thereof into the compartment b. From the bottom of the -latter it ows into the tube a., and from the top thereof into the compartment lf2, and thence successively through the intermediate similar parts to the tube a, from which it flows into the cornpartment on the opposite side of the tubes, and" thence upward through the tube a4, opening through the top of thecase into the ednc-t-ion-pipe.

Plungers C are placed in the several tubes having van ordinary valve, C', rising to permit the'water 'to pass through the plunger-on the descending stroke, and closing ou its seat with the ascending stroke.

These plunger-s are attached to the rods D, on the upper ends of which are the yokes D', which incluse the circular cams E, eccentrically attached to the shaft F, which may be driven by any convenient power.

These ecccntrics E are set at right angles to one another in continuous series, so that the first shall have risen one-half its stroke when the second one begins -to rise, and so on, the third beginning to rise when the first begins to descend, so that the wat-er raised by the first in the series shall be carried from one pump to another, and expelled in a continuous stream, the. pumps' offering a constant resistance to the power used to drive them, as two of the plungers will always be rising in differents parts of their stroke while the other two are in like manner descending.

The rods D'poi'k through stuffing-boxes in the ordinary manner. No other valves are necessary than those in the plungers.

That I claim as my invent-ion, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The arrangement, within a tight casing, subdivided into compartments,.of a series of lifting-pumps, the plungers of which are set in such a manner that they shall be in diiferent parts of their' strokesat the same time, substantially as and for the purpose set fort-h. l

In testimony whereof I l1ave,`signed my name to this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses. v
