To this end provision is made for permanently mounting the motor cylinder in elevated p0- sition beside the well, where it will not interfere with the rod and tube-pulling and sink- The cylinder is preferably mounted in substantially horizontal position connected with the pump rods through power transmittin means de` signed for adjustment into active position directly over the well or into inactive position where it will not hinder the pulling or sinking of rods and tubing.

Fig. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view, on
the present invention is shown in Figure 1 v associated with other oil well equipment of standard form. This equipment includes the usual derrick 1, casinghead 2, and tubing 3 extending upwardly provided withA thev usual stuffing box 4 for receiving the vertically reciprocating polish rod 8 through which the underground pump is operated. An oil discharge pipe 6 is connected with the tubing 3 through-an appropriate fitting 5, and a gas discharge pipe 7 is connected in the usual manner with the head 2. The derrick 1 is ordinarily equipped with mechanism (not shown) for pulling from the well and through the head and v .for sinking fresh rods and tubing into the well.
The pump rig the derrick to a point directly above the well. The trestle is preferably of steel construction comprising a fabricated beam 10 consisting ofupper and lower ` girders 11 and 12 rigidly united by tie braces 13 to form side frames 14 and 15 ofthe beam, the side frames being rigidly connected by cross bars 16, a rear end plate 17, cylinder head mounting plates 18 (Fig. 2), and a guide box 19 at the forward end of the beam. The beam 10 is supported in horizontal elevated position by appropriate means such as leg frames 20. and 21 and a post 22. The guide box 19 is formed of top and bottom plates projecting into shown includes a trestle mounted beside the well with the forward end preferably composedl of a U block, the legs 54- 2 weones 23 (Figs. 4 and 5) and side plates 24 riveted to the inset ends of the girders 11 and 12 and coacting to form a guide for telescopically receiving an extension beam 25. 7The beam 25 is normally retained in extended position, with the forward end thereof directly over the casing head 2, by an abutment member 26 rigidly but removably iiXed to the beam 10.
- mounted on a shaft 32 journaled in bearings 33 at the rear end of the beam 10. v
lengthwise of and within the beam 10 intermediate the ends of the beam.
ln this instance the cylinder is supported by mounting plates 18 formed integral with the end heads 35 of the cylinderand bolted or otherwise Xed to the beam as indicated at 36. A piston 37, having the usualpacking rings 38, is closely fitted for lengthwiserecipr rocation within the cylinder. A rod 39 extending through the cylinder heads and piston is tixed to the piston by pins 40 and slidable in stu'ing boxes 41 in the cylinder heads, to reciprocate under force of uid .pressure admitted to the cylinder through pipes'42 and 43 which communicatelthrough ports 44 and 45 with chambers 46 and 47 in the respective cylinder heads. 48 designates cocks having nipples 49 threaded into ports 50 leading from the chambers 46 and 47, through which air may escape from the cylinder.
Mounted on the beam 10 at opposite ends of the cylinder 34 are rails 51, for the flanged wheels 52 of carriages 53 (Fig. 11), each of which are provided with transverse apertures 55 in which the axles 56 of the anged wheels 52 are secured by set screws 57. The ends of the piston rod 39 have reduced-sha'nks 58 extended through apertures 59 in the bodies of the blocks and nuts 60 are threaded into the ends ofthe Shanks to clamp the carriages firmly to the ends of the rod. Eye
bolts 61 are attached to the carriage blocks at opposite sides of the rod connection and connected with the eye bolts are ropes 62 which run over the sheaves 30 and 31 and are provided with couplings 63 and 64. The coupling 63 at the forward end of the structure 1s connected with the pump polish rod 8 and the coupling 64'at thel opposite end vof the structure is connected with ha. counter-balance weight 65. The weight 65 is heavier than the string of pump rods Within the Well, the excess weight being available to assist the piston 37 in liftingthe column of oil during the upstroke ot the pump. During the down stroke, when the column of oil is stationary, this excess weight imposes a load on the pistoh. The weight 65 is preferably made equal to the weight of the pump rods plus one half of the weight of the column of oil so that the load on the piston is substantially the same in both directions of motion.
versible flow pump 66 ot a well known type under the control of mechanism preferably such as will now be described. The pump shown is fully described in the copending application of Walter Ferris and John l?. F erris, Serial No. 92,135 to which reference is made for a complete understanding of the l construction and operation thereof. A main motor cylinder 34 is mounted Mounted on the beam .10, at the pump side, are brackets 67, suspending an I rail 68, and slidable on the lower flanges of the l rail are shoes 69, carried by pins 70 on a yoke 71 attached to a beam 72, preferably by bolts 73. 'l` he shoe mechanism is located at one end of the beam 7 2 and the opposite end of the beam' is attached, preferably by bolts 74,to the liattened extension vofthe axle pin 56 of the traveling carriage 5,3 at the outer end of the structure. Consequently the beam 72 and shoes 69 reciprocatev with the carriage and ram piston.
. 76-77 (Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4) designatetrip blocks having heads 78 provided with T slot-s 79 whereb the blocks are adjustably mounted on the ldottom flanges of the beam 72, to be held thereto by set screws 80. Depending from oneedge of each of the heads 78 is an ear 81. Attached to each ear 81 isa pin 82 and pivotally mounted von each pin 82 is a cam 83 ha'ving a back set contact face 84; the cams having a thickness less than the width of the heads 78 so that when the trip blocks are` arranged oppositely'on the beam 72 (Fig. 3),
cams 83 travel in parallel planes andthe y cam faces 84 alternately-engage corresponding lugs' 85, 86 onthe sleeve 87'of a control lever 88 that is journaled on an axle 89 carried by a plate 90 on the side of the beam 10. Each cam has a heel 91 adapted for stop contact with the under side of the head 78 of the block 76 or 77 upon which it is mounted, to lockthe cam and effect operation of the control lever when the cam is travelin in one direction but permitting the cam to pivot upon engagement with its lever lug when traveling in the opposite direction. Each of the trip lugs has a cushioning spring 92 on tinued until4 the face 84 of its active face for absorbing shock of contact by its actuating cam.
The control lever 88 is of spider formation, including a pair of primary cross arms 93-94 provided with eyes 9394 carrying eye bolts 96-97, and connected with the eye bolts are wires 98-99 which are attached to opposite ends of a lever 100, forming a part ot a that described in the copending application of Lawrence A. Barrett and John P. Ferris, Serial No. 85,207. It will suflice here to state that when lever 100 is in one position the pump 66 delivers liquid at a substantially steady rate into the pipe 42 and receives liquid at the same rate through pipe 43, and when the lever 100 is shifted into another position by the action of the lever 88 through wires 98 and 99, pump flow is reversedso that the pump then delivers liquid into pipe 43 and receives liquid from pipe` 42. Provision is made in the reversing mechanism described in said last named application for regulating the rate of reversal to thereby regulate the rate of change of flow in pipes 42 and 43 and consequently regulate the rate of acceleration and deceleration of the piston 37 and pump rods at each end of the stroke.
In normal operation the piston 37 travels toward the right under the pressure of liquid supplied from the pump 66 through pipe 42, and acting through the rod 39, cable 62, and polish rod 8 causes the pump to execute an upward stroke. This' motioncontinues until ,the face 84 of the cam 83 on trip block 76 strikes the spring 9210i lug 85 and throws the arm 88 clockwise. This action of the arm 88,
transmitted to lever 100; initiates the action of the pump reversing mechanism to thereby reverse the pump. The pump then delivers liquid through pipe 43 causing the piston 37 to travel towardthe left to thereby effect a down stroke of the polish rod 8 and pump connected therewith. This motion is concaml 83 on trip 92 of lug 86 and throws the arm 88 1n the opposite direction, whereupon the pump 66 is again reversedand the polish rod 8 and connected an up stroke. The length of each stroke is determined by adjustment of the trip blocks 76 and 77 upon the beam 72.
