IMPROVEMENT IN PUMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 203,421, dated May '7, 1878; application led April 15, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SHERMAN M. COLE, of Anamosa, inthe county of Jones, and in the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps; and do hereby declare that the following is a full,-clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, andto the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of thisspeciication. V

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of an oscillatifng Ipump, as will be hereinafter more fully set ort In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention 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 lis a side view, partly in section, of my pump. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are detailed views of parts of the pump.

A and B represent two casings, forming,

when put together, the horizontal pump-cylinder, and in the joint between the two casin gs is inserted a disk, C, which forms a division be-' tween them. Around this disk is placed suitable rubber packing a, as shown, and when the two casings or chambers are fastened together it forms a water-tight joint between them. The two casings are connected together by rods b b,

y which hook into eyes e c, and these eyes are adjusted and the hooked rods drawn tight by thumbnuts d d, as shown in Fig. l. The chamber B is,at the top, provided with the outlet E, and ,at the bottom there are two valves, D D, opening into said chamber from the chamber A. These valve-openings are located, one on each side of an abutment orpartition, F running the entire length of the chamber A, from the center vertically downward to the bottom, and on each side of this abutment, at the'bottom of the casing, is a valve, G, for opening and closing the inlets to `the chamber A. Centrally through the chamberA is passed a horizontal shaft, h, to the outer end of which a pulley or other device, H, is attached, for applying` power to the pump in any suitable or convenient manner. To this shaft h is secured a wing, I, which extends the entire length of the chamber A, and has suitable packing i all around its edges on both sides. The wing I is rotated from one side to the other, and

vice versa, drawing in the water behind it, and' forcing that ahead of it, through the corresponding valve D, into the chamber B, and out through the exit E.

The pump is intended to be submerged in the well, and is easily operated.

The construction of the pump is such that it can be cheaply made, and can easily and quickly be taken apart when require-d to renew the packing.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the casin gs or chambers A B, with interposed diskl G and rubber packing a., the hooked rods b, eyes c, and thumbnuts d, as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. The combination of the chambers A B, disk C, with valves D D, abutment F, valves Gr G, and shaft h, with wing I, all constructed and arranged'lto operate substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 2d day of April, 187 8.

SHERMAN M. COLE.
