WELL ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 20, 191 '7 Application filed December 11, 1816. Serial No. 136,306.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Emma L. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at llapier, in the county of Lewis and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and useful lVell Attachment, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an attachment for bored wells of that type utilizing a bucket adapted to be raised above the sur face of the ground.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a simple form of attachment adapted to be secured to the upwardly projecting portion of the well tubing and which serves both as a cap or closure for said tubing and as a spout for directing water from the elevated bucket into a pail or other receiver provided therefor.

A further object is to provide an attachment of this character which will automatically open the bucket when deposited therein so as to cause the contents of the bucket to flow therefrom and through the spout.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the attachment constituting the present invention, the same being shown in position for use as a spout, a portion of the tubing of the well being illustrated in elevation and the bucket being shown lowered into the spout.

Fig. 2 is an elevation showing the attachment in position to act as a closure for the well tubing.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3, Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the complete structure shown in Fig. 1.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates the upwardly projecting portion of the well tubing and secured to the upper end thereof is an attaching plate 2 having an arm 3 at its upper end while extending from the lower portion of the plate is a stem 4 terminating in a yoke closure and a spout. Attached to the other or small end of this member 8 is a plate 9 to which is pivotally connected a disk 10 having a weight 11 diametrically opposite the pivotal connection 12. A stop fingerlS is also carried by this disk and cooperates with the plate 9 to limit the downward swinging movement of the disk 10 when the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1.

A bucket 1 is adapted to be lowered into the tube 1 and is suspended by a rope 15 in the usual manner. The lower end of the bucket let is tapered as indicated at .16 and has an interior flange or ledge 17 normally supporting a disk 18 constituting a valve for closing the bottom of the bucket.

Arranged transversely within the member 8 is a bar 19 having a stem 20 projecting at right angles from the center thereof and which stem is provided at its free end with a head 21.

When the bucket 14 is removed from the tubing 1, the member 8 can be swung to position over the tubing so as to rest thereon and prevent the admission of dirt and the like to the tubing, the disk 10 at this time being in closed position as shown in Fig. 2. An annular seat 22 is formed within the large end of the member 8 so as to receive the upper end of the tubing 1 when the parts are positioned as shown in Fig. 2.

When it is desired to draw water from the well, the member 8 is swung to the position shown in Fig. 1 so as to rest against the yoke 5 with the disk 10 hanging down in open position. The bucket 14: is then lowered into the well, the pressure of water entering the bottom of the bucket unseating disk 18. As soon as the bucket is raised this disk will be seated by gravity and when the bucket is lifted out of tubing 1 it can be brought to position over the member 8 and then lowered into said member. As the bucket is thus lowered the disk 18 will come against the head 21 and be unseated so that the water contained within the bucket will flow downwardly into the member 8 and thence into any receptacle which may be located under said member.

What is claimed is 1. The combination with the projecting end of a well tubing, of an attachment therefor including a spout having open ends, said spout being adapted to rest on one end of the tubing to close the same, a disk mov ably connected to the spout and closing the upper end of the spout when positioned on the tubing, and means for holding the spout in an inverted position at one side of the tubing, said disk being movable by gravity to open position when the spout is inverted.

2. The combination with the projecting end of a well tubing, of a yoke outstanding therefrom, a spout open at its ends and pivotally connected to the tubing, said spout being adapted to rest in an inverted position against the yoke and in an upright position upon the end of the well tubing, and a disk pivotally connected to the spout for closing the upper end thereof when in position on the tubing and for opening the spout when the same is inverted.

3. The combination with the projecting end of a well tubing, of a yoke outstanding therefrom, a spout open at its ends and pivotally connected to the tubing, said spout being adapted to rest in an inverted position against the yoke and in an upright position upon the end of the well tubing, a disk pivotally connected to the spout for closing the upper end thereof when in position on the tubing and for opening the spout when the same is inverted, a cross member within the spout and a valve lifting element upon said member.

4. The combination with the projecting end of a well tubing, of a spout having open ends and adapted to be supported in an inverted bucket receiving position at one side of the tubing or in an upright position upon the end of the tubing, a disk for closing the upper end of the spout when in upright position on the tubing, means for automatically moving the disk by gravity to open position when the spout is inverted, and means within the spout for lifting the bottom valve of a bucket when inserted into the inverted spout.

5. The combination with the projecting end of a Well tubing, of a spout having open ends and adapted to be supported in an inverted bucket receiving position at one side of the tubing or in an upright position upon the end of the tubing, a disk for closing the upper end of the spout when in an upright position on the tubing, means for automatically moving the disk by gravity to open position when the spout is inverted, means within the spout for lifting the bottom valve of a bucket when inserted into the inverted spout, and means connected to the well tubing for holding the spout in an inverted bucket receiving position.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ELMER L. BAKER.
