The object of my present invention is -to improve a pump of iihe above-described character in such, at manner as to render itsvziive readily occessibie and to facilitate and simplify the OPQTA'UOH, particuia riy when it is desired to allow the compressed air to Hf/Q, i'oi (the purpose of allow the plunger ()i follower to be iiiov :d to 11155 ini tial posiiion when the op um-ates is o be refilled wiih he spraying CO1 oimd.

e cheek" I be obwhich the piston rod L passes. TVhen the pump is being operated, the sleeve T is in the position shown in' Fig. 2, its outer end being flush with that of the guide U, so that the threads M will. notengage the threads of the sleeve as thepiston is reciprocated.

The threads will therefore not be injured by the reciprocation of the piston. Vhen the pump is out of use, the sleeve T is .shifted outward so as to project beyond the guide U, and the handle M turned to lock it with the sleeve, as shown in Fig. 1. This is the normal position of the parts, in which the fire extinguisher is ready for use. In this position, with the outer plug N removed, the inner plug N may be given a few turns by means of a screw driver or other suitable tool, to bring a packing N provided ,on the inner surface of the plug, against the end-ofthe tube 0 and of the-casing of the check valve S. The plug N then performs thesalne function as the ordinary cap used inconnection with pneumatic tire valves, that is to say, it prevents the escape of airin case the valve should leak. The outer plug N is then replaced, said plug having a slot to receive the end of a screw driver, and

also havinga central pin N, for a purpose to be stated presently. v r hen the spraying device has been used and itis desired to refill the compartment A? through the outlet D, the follower F must be brought back to its'original position, that is to say, it; must be-pushed toward the head 'B. This may be done'by removing the cock E and pushing a rodthroughthe outlet D, against the: follower Ifi this operation the handle M is generally rested on the floor, the outlet D-pointing upward, and the rod 40 is pushed downward. Since the compressed air contained in the compartmentor reservoir A would make it very hard, if not impossible, to move the follower toward the head B, a suitable vent is opened to allow 'the air to escape from the reservoir A. For this purpose, the plugs N, N are unscrewed and removed from the-piston rod L so as to render the valve S accessible, and the air may be allowed to escape from the reservoir A by opening the valve S in any suitable manner, as by screwing the plug N into the tube or rod L until the pin N engages the customary p rojecting. end of the air Valve and holds it open. The air issulng from the 5 valve will escape past the plug N through a' suitable aperture or channel N.

The position of the valve S is such that with the plunger K and handle 1 in their inner position (Fig. 1), and upon removing the plugs N, N thevalve will be readily accessible, being but a ,short distance from' the opening in the outer surface of the handle. It will therefore be easy to remove the. valve for repairs or renewal, and also to get 6 at it for the purpose of holding the valve gether, the deliverytube 0 being secured -the head B.

plugs N, N which may be of exactly the .air hose with the outer end of the tube 0 when it is desired to tillthe reservoir A with compressed air in this manner. At the same time/the valve is protected against injury etiiciently by the piston rod L and by the handle M. The plug which seals the valve tightly' when desired (Fig. 1) is also placed where it is readily accessible yet efficiently protected bythe handle M, and the plug N which forms an additional protection for the plug N, is itself protected against injury by being countersunk in the handle'M; The latter with the end of the tube 0 thus forms a, protector for the valve S and for the two plugs'N, N

In the form of my inventionillustrated by Fig. 4, the air pump is omitted altoto the center of the head B and the handle or protector M is also rigidly secured to This handle has a screwthreaded axial bore adapted'toreceive the same construction as described above and co operate in the same manner with the check valve S fitted .to the outer end-,of the tube 0. The parts A, C, D, E, F, G, H are supposed to be. of the same construction as in Fig'. 1. .5 The operation is similar to that described with reference to .-Figs. 1, 2 and 3, exceptthat the apparatus embodies no air pump for producing or restoring air-pressure in the reservoir A.

In each construction the valve 5%. which may be used as a filling valve and also as an escape valve, is fully protected vet read ilv accessible. The valve protector performs a similar function with reference .50105 the sealing cap or plug N and to the deflating or venting cap or plug N. Thus, when too the apparatus is stood upon the protector 1n order'to drive the follower F I drwn by means of a rod inserted through the outlet I), there will beno danger of in uring either the valve orthe plugs. lVhile I have shown the valve S at or near the head. and accessible from the end of the apparatus, such valve might be reservoir.

.The handleM may be made of circular or mushroom shape and provided with a number of holes or sockets M .to receive-a suitable hook for suspending the apparatus on a wall. or other support. This is of espeplaced elsewhere on the air 115 ,cial value in a fire extinguisher, which on one side bears a label with instructions for operating the apparatus. Of course, in order to be easily read, this label should be ex actly on the side farthest away from the wall. Inasmuch .as the handle will not always come to a stop in the same position whenit is screwed to the sleeve T, the provision. of a series of holes M enables me 13o visible,
