IMPROVEMENT IN PUMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 174,91 l, dated March 21, 1876 application filed February 3, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB KIMES, of Tecumseh, county of Johnson and State of Nebraska, have invented certain in Pumps, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of my invention relates to'improvements in what are known as liftingpumps and the invention consists in arranging two pumps in such manner that the one will raise the water 'from its bed and discharge it into a reservoir, while the other pump will raise it from said reservoir and discharge it where desired, by which means the water may be raised double the usual height. Both piston-rods are connected to the same handle or lever, in such manner that they may be operated alternately, and the parts are all so connected and arranged that the pumps themselves become the supports for all of the operating devices.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe the same, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, ofa pump embodying my invention.

Referring to the parts by letters, letter A represents the lower pump, which extends to the bottom of the well or other source from which the water is to be drawn. To the up per end of the pump A, the lower end of a similar pump, B, is attached by a stirrup, O.

Improvements Beneath the lower end of the pump B a reservoir, D, is attached in a position to receive water from the delivery-pipe a of the lower pump, and to hold it convenient for delivery to the lower end of the pump B. In other respeets the pumps A and B may be constructed as desired, each being furnished with any ordinary valve, 6, and also with buckets e. The connecting-rods e extend upward from both pumps to a common height, and are connected at their upper ends, one to each end of a lever or handle, E, which is fulcrumed at its cen- 'tral part to the upper end of the standard F,

which is sustained by the pump B.

The operation is evident: both pumps may be operated by the lever E, the pump A delivering to the reservoir D, from which the pump A receives and delivers at its spout b. It will be plain that with my improvement water may be drawn twice the height possible with a single pump.

1 claim The combination of the two lifting or suction pumps A B, united by stirrups U with the delivery-pipe a and reservoir D, arranged to operate by means of the rods 0, brakelever E, and standard F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
