REVERSIBLE WELL BUCKET BOTTOM.
No. 243,976. Patented July 5,1881, l
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM H. ROE, OF ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI.
REVERSIBLE WELL-BUCKET BOTTOM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,976, dated July 5, 1881.
Application iled March 24,1581. (No model.)
To all lwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. ROE, of St. Joseph, in the county of Buchanan and State of Missouri, have invented a new and usefulImprovementiu ReversibleWell-Bucket Bottoms and I do hereby declare that the fol` lowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention is a sheet-metal reversible bottom for wellbuckets, more especially adapted to that class of buckets which are used in bored wells or wells of small diameter where the bucket ts with some closeness to the bore of the well.
In the drawings hereunto attached Figure l represents a section of the well-bucket with my improved bottom attached in one position, and Fig. 2 represents a like section with the bottom reversed.
The bottom itself is represented at 1. It is formed out of sheet metal by swaging or in hss any convenient way, with a central opening for the admission of the water, and with a ilange, 7, turned up at right angles to the plane of the bottom.
The valve 3 consists of aplaiu disk of metal larger in diameter than the opening in the bot tom, and provided with the ordinary packing of leather or other suitable material. The valve is perforated on opposite sides to admit the arms 8 of a bent rod,-2, preferably about one-fourth of an inch in diameter, the horizontal part of which, as represen tedin the iigures, may be connected to the back of the valve by soldering. The holes in the valve through which these arms pass register with holes in the bottom so located that when the rod is connected to the valve and the arms are passed down through the holes in the bottom the valve shall be centrally seated over the valve-opening. The arms are screw-threaded at the ends and provided with nuts 5, which limit the upward movement of the valve. A key or any equivalent of the nuts may be used, if desired. The arms 8 of the bent rod must be of alength sufficient to allow the valve to rise far enough to permit the flow of water into the bucket when the bucket is lowered.
It' will be readily observed that by removing the nuts 5 the valve may be removed from the bottom and shifted from one side to the other, so that the bottom may be used with either side uppermost. This construction of the valve and bottom adapts the device for effective use in connection with the various kinds of well-linings. Y
It is desirable to attach the bottom to the bucket in the manner shown in Fig. l-that is, by the insertion of the bottom into the end of the bucket with the flanges outward, in which position the bottom is more easily secured in place, whether by soldering or rivets 6 passing through the flange and the edge of the bucket 5 but where wells are lined with lumber or wooden tubing this form of bucket is liable to meet with obstructions in. lowering, by reason ot' theprojectingtlange catchingin a sliver of the wood, so that this the most convenient method of attachment is not always available. When, therefore, the bucket is to be used in wells lined or incased with sheet metal or any other substance not liable to sliver, the form shown in Fig. l may be used; but for use in a well lined with wood the bottom is reversed and the flange thereof slipped over the end of the bucket, as shown in Fig. 2. The valve, of course, in that case is reversed. When the bottom is put on in this way it is more troublesome to secure it, but all danger of meeting with obstructions on account of slivers is avoided.
This improved bottom, therefore, may be manufactured and furnished to the trade equally welliittedfor use, whatever may be the nature of the material used for casing the well.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A reversible bottom for well-buckets consisting of a flanged disk having central perforations, in combination with the valve 3, arms 8, adapted to pass through holes in the bottom, and nuts 5, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribin g witnesses.
WILLIAM H. ROE.
