HENRY E. WOLCOTT, OF ELBRIDGE, NEW YORK, Al-@SIGNOR OF TWO-THIRDS or4 HIS meer' fro RUSSELL B. WHEEL-nn AND nzninni. B. Hort.

Letters Patent No. 110,182, dated December 13, 1870.

IMPRovENlErn' IN PUMPS. l

To all whomit muy concern: I

.Be it known. that I, HENRY E. WoLooTr, of the town of Elbridge, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Submerged Force-Pump, forforcing and. raising water I 'shown in the drawing, having pcrforatedheads, which may be either plain-or convex, brmingstrainers to ,prevent sediment or other foreign substances from passing-into the cylinders and clogging them.

1 These valves are provided with cylinders, closed at the ends, and perforated to allow the water to pass into the cylinder' C C', when a vacuum is produced.'

Valve-cylinders are lettered c c.

To cylinder O C' are attached two lother cylinders, D D',^in which'movevvertically the India-rubber pis-l .tous F F.

lhe cylinder C G is divided at E by the partition`4 shown in iig. 2, whiehseparates the cylinder into twovdistinct chambers.

The' cylinder() C is snrmountcd by the` chamber vH, in which is contained two small cylinders, G G',

closed at the top and havin g each block-tin valves, which close by their own weight the holes c c. The valves Vare 'lettered B B'.

To the chamber H is attached :L 'metal tube, I, to convey the water upward and thence out through 'the spout-K. f

The cylinders G G have their convex surfaces perforated to allow the fluid to pass into the chamber H.

lhe piston-cylndeis D D are left open at the top and flared at `their mouths, to give facility in cleaning,.

obstructed. Y

The rods L L' are attachcd'to the pistonsl by means.

of screw-bolts formed at the ends of the rods, with plates or washers on either sides of the pistons F Ff. I hese bolts serve to compress the pistons vertically, and expand them laterally when tightened, forming thereby a seltlpaeking. 4 Y

The arms M M, to which are attached the piston rods L L, are balanced at the point O, and serve as levers to operate the pump.

The pump is operated as follows:

he cylinder G C' being submerged, and the arms M M being at rest, while the valves A A. and B B. are closed, I apply the power to the arms and lift the piston F.' A vacuum being produced inthe chamber C, the water is allowed to pass through the perforated cap in the valve A; `thence through the perforated valve-cylinder c to the chamber C and the piston-cylinder l The power being now reversed, the piston F is forced downward, the valve A by the force of the water is thrown ont and closed, as seen at A', fig. 2. The same force of water lifts thevalve B and is allowed to pass through the holes in the cylinder Gto the chamber .H, and thence through thetube I and out of the spout K. I i

lhe power being applied to the arm M gives the same result on the other side of thepartition E, and thereby a double action is gained.

I do not claim. to have invented anything new iii the system of raising and foreingwater or fluids.

f That I claim as my invention, and in which I def sire to be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. The valves A A,constructed as described, for the purpose set forth.

2. 'Ihe valves A A', pipes C C', tin-block valves B B', flaring-mouth cylinders D and D', and chambers G G', combined and arranged to operatesubstautially as set forth.
