Beit known that"LuTHoMfAs LING, of Shelby, in thelcountyof `Richland and State o-ffOhio, have inventedfa newand useful and "Improved lumpgjjandl `do `hereby declare `thfabthesame is described andrepresented in thefollowing specifications and drawings.

To enable others skilled inthe art to make and use my invention Twill proceed to de- 1" scribe its `constrii"ct-ion and operation refer-` ring `to the drawings "inuwhich the same lettersindicatelikeparts infeach of thefigures;

Thenature of myinvention consists in sof g dropped into well,` the anchor will adapt l itself to the bottom, and fix `orhold1 that part of the pump required to be stationary, without cramping the-movingwpar-ts; but

s allow them to operate freely, or beoperated soas to raise the water from the well. `A`nd further in soconnecting the "anchor to the other I.parts of the pump, that when the `pump is drawn from `thewellit will zdraw the anchor out'wit-h it. Alsoin constructs ing the top `of the pipe which conducts the s, water out of thewell,fso asto discharge the `water downwardinto abox having an opening "for the pipe to `traverse inclosed by a plate fastened to the pipe. And further in a. sliding lever that maybe adjustedto ball" A ance the pipe and part-s fastened to it, with the water in the same.

" Figure 1,*is an elevation of my pump.

uFig. 2, is `a section representingthe several `parts cut through the center.

In these drawi` gs A is the end of a bar which may be placed `partially across the `well `or otherwise, to `which the box B is fastened. This box B Jmay be made` square inthe form represented land provided with a spout C `for the escape of the wateror .l `fluid pumped, and an elongated opening D 4in one side nearthetop for theend of theV pipe E, whichconductsfthe water into the box B. The end ofthe pipe E isso confstructed as to discharge the waterdo-wnward s `and it has the plateF `fastened to it so las f to traverse with it andcover, or keep the opening D closedvwhenthe pipe E is raiseds "the lever Gr- `towhich it is connected byY `the link H` asrepresented in Fig. l, sonas to prevent the water as` itis discharged from` the pipe from splashing out through the opening D. The plate F is itted to the l interior of the box so to `guide and steady `the pipe E, T'he lever G is vibrated on the bolt I which passes t-hrough it and the standard J, fastenedto the box B.` This lever G ismade in two parts which are fastened together with the bolt- K which passes through aflong slot in the lower part of the lever, so thatthe upper part may be adjusted far enough from the bolt- K toi balance the pipe and parts fastened `to it with the water` in the same, so that the operator has to apply but` little more power than is necessary to overcomethe friction of the working parts in operating the pump to raise water.

The pipe E should be made nearly long enough to reach thebottom of the well and l enlarged at the, lower end so as to form a chamber L` which shouldhave a valve seat M; fastenedin the upper part and provided with anopening N and valve O to close it when the pipe is raised in pumping. The y stationary piston P is made so that the cylinder Q (which forms the chamber L) 'will traverse freely upon it; the upper end of the piston being provided with a leather packing R to prevent the water from escaping betweent-he cylinder andthe piston. There is `an opening S, entirely through the piston `which is closed bythe valveT, when the cylinder descends so as to force the water in the chamberthrough the opening N up into the pipe E.

l The piston P 1s fastened to the bracket ,which extends entirely across the pistonand cylinder and is provided with two slotted arnis, which extend up? each side of the latter, whichis proi'fided with projections (one of `which Tis seen at o) which traverse freely in the slots in the arms of the bracket one of which arms is seen at W; The extremities of the arms VW are perforated for the `pin X which passes through each part, and when the pipe and cylinder are raised to draw it out of the well, the pin X rests upon the projection V, so as to draw the bracket and parts fastened to it out of the well at the same time. The eye bolt Y is 'fastened' in the center of thebracket U and connects it tothe eye` bolt `Z in the weight or anchor and lwhich makes or forms a flexible joint so as to allowl theanchor to adapt itself to "the bottom of the well, if it should be inclined, without cramping the piston so as to incre-ase the friction of the cylinder as it is traversed uponit. The cap B on the'box B is l,designed to prevent any refuse matter from falling into the box.

I contemplate that the details in the construction of my pump may be varied in many Ways which Will readily suggest themselves to skillful artisans Without departing from the principle or merits Vof my invention. Also that the piston may be fastened to the pipe so as to operate With it, and the cylinder to the anchor so as to remain stationary; the pipe being provided With projections like V, and the cylinder with arms like IV or such an equivalentdevice as Will connect the cylinder and anchor to the pipe or piston so as to draw the stationary parts of the pump from the Well by the moving parts or tube.

Pumps constructed as above described are peculiarly adapted to the bored Wells, whichv are made about four inches in diameter, l

.as are herein described, or their equivalents 45 Which Wells are very numerous in some of the Western States of this' Republic. Besides they are far better and cheaper for such Wells and others, than any pump which has a spear or rod Working in the tube or pipe of the pump.

I believe that I have described the construction 'and use' of my invention so as to enable any person skilled in the art to cone struct and use the same, alsosome of the several modes in which I contemplate its application, and I Will now specify What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent.

l. Connecting the piston or stationary part to a Weight or anchor by a flexible joint or its equivalent; so as to allow the anchor to adapt itself to the bottom of the Well and slotted arms or their equivalents, so as to draw the anchor from the Well by means of the pipe and cylinder, or moving parts substantially as described.

3. I claim the devices, substantially such for guiding and steadying the upper end of ythe pipe and discharging the Water down- ;Ward into a box having an opening in the side in Which the pipe traverses closed below t-he pipe'by the plate F or its equivalent.
