JOHN B. CHRISTIAN, OF HAMBURG, -IOWA.
IMPROVEMENT IN MEANS FOR OPERATING EARTH-AUGERS.
Specification forming part of Letters. Patent No. 138,788, dated May 13, 1873 application filed November 14, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JNO. B. CHRISTIAN, of Hamburg, in the county of Fremont and in the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse-Power; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a horsepower for boring wells, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which myinvention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my horsepower, and Fig. 2 is an inverted perspective view of the bucket used in my well-auger, with the bottom removed.
A represents the ground frame, made in rectangular form, of any suitable dimensions. On each side of this frame, nearer one end than the other, is pivoted or hinged a'rod, B, in such a manner that it can be thrown to either end of the frame, or be raised up, as desired. The rods B B are bent inward, and between their upper ends is hung a swinging socket, 0, through which passes the boring shaft D, and the rods are supported in an upright position for boring by a hooked brace, E. The said rods are braced or held steady by means of fenders G G, one on each side of the ground frame A, each fender having on its inner side pins or stops, at a, against which the rods rest in the two positions in which they are intended to be placed. H is'the sweep, to which the horse is attached, the same being placed on the boring-shaft D, above the swinging socket O. The boringshaft is made in sections, each section having on its lower end a coupling, b, to fit over the upper end of the next section below. The lowest section, D, of the shaft has a bar at its lower end to which the knives are bolted. On this bar, around the shaft D, is a hub, I,
having two inclined slots on opposite sides, so that when the bucket is let down on the shaft a bar in the bottom of the same sliding on the shaft will strike said inclines and go down the same, throwing the bucket to its proper place. J represents the bucket, and K K are the knives attached to the same. Each of these knives is made of steel, and bolted to a bar, L, of iron, and this bar bolted to the side of the bucket. When the bucket is placed on the shaft to be lowered on the auger, the knives can be raised and stand so as to prevent them from catching on the side of the bank, so that they will not prevent the bucket from going to its proper place on the auger. When the auger is in motion they catch in the bank and drop in their proper place. On the end of the ground frame A, furthest from the pivoted or hinged ends of the rods B B, is placed. a chain-wheel, M,
around which passes a chain, f, and one end of this chain passes over a pulley, h, arranged on a frame, N, which is hinged to the ground frame between the wheel M and the rods B B.
When the anger is in motion and has bored to the desired depth, the top shaft is disconnected and placed in a sling, m, attached to one of the rods B for supporting the same.
The brace E is then unhooked, and the rods 1 B B swung over the chain-wheel M, and the top shaft connected with the same. The chain f being attached to the bucket, the horse is started and the bucket is drawn up to the frame. Then the derrick is attached to the bucket, and the pulley frame N thrown over, leaving nothing over the well to interfere with drawing out the bucket, which is then. swung away and emptied, swung back and placed on the shaft, the chain attached and lowered on the auger. The hub I throws the bucket to its place.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, with the frame A, of the pivoted rods B B, socket G, fenders G G,
with studs a a, hooked brace E, and shafts D D, all substantially as set forth.
'2. The pivoted or hinged rods B B and In testimony that I claim the foregoing I shaft D, in combination with the Windlassx have hereunto set my hand. this 21st day of specified. J NO. B. CHRISTIAN.
3. The hinged or pivoted cross-bar N, when' Witnesses:
used with the frame A, as and'for the purpose J. P. BEACH,
set forth. RoBT. Smons.
wheeI M, when used as and for the purpose October, 1872.
