IMPROVENT IN WATERELEVATQR The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part el the me To all whom'tt may concern:

Beit known that I, Moses S. Mcswamef Poley Grove, in the county of Jackson and State of VVisconsin, have 'invented a new and lmproved Water-Elevator; and I do hereby declare Athat the following isla full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enableothers skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying draw ing, forming part of this specification, in which- Fignie 1 'represents an endV view of a well-curb .provided with my improved elevator.

Figure 2 isa-vertical longitudinal section of the' seme.

Similar letten; of reference indicate corresponding parts. Y A

g rj his invention relates to a. new apparatus for elevalting buckets in wells, and for carrying them to the open sides of the curbs.

The invention consists chiefly in the application tov the cnrb of an L-shaped lever, which will serve tov push the elevated bucket horizontally toward the month of the curb.

A, in the drawing, represents a w`e11-curb, of suitable construction and shape. It is'arranged above a pris-V matic or cylindrical pipe or box, B.

C -is the bucket suspended by a nope or chain, D,

from a windlass, E, which can be rotated by suitable mechanism. v

Within thc curb is pivoted, by a pm, a, an Lshaped lever, F, -whose arms, band c, are set at an acute angle, as shown in fig. 2. The short arm b is forked, and embraces the descending or ascending rope.

When thebncket has nearly been elevated, a button, y

d, on the rope will strike the arm b, and will thereby swing the lever so as to carry the arm c ont horizontally. The arm c will then push the bucket 0 outhorizontally toward the opening ofthe well,'a,s indicated by dotted lines in fig. 2. The arm b serves, therefore, to swing the lever F, so as to thereby enable the arm o to move the bucket outward. When liberated,

the arm c hangs perpendicular, as shown.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The twofarmed lever F, arranged within a wellcnrb, substantially as and for the purpose herein Moens s. Moswam.
