METHOD OF RAISING WATER.

Specification of Letters Patent No.

T o all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEONARD GILLETT, of North Colebrook, county of Litchfield, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanism for Raising Water; and I do hereby declare that the same is described and represented in the following specification and drawings,

To enable others, skilled in the art, to make and use my improvement I will proceed to describe its construction and operation referring to the drawings in which the same letters indicate like parts in each of the figures.

In the accompanying drawings is shown the mechanism, the arrangements and plan of operation of my improvement for raising water, and I would here remark, that as a practical pump maker I have for several years been experimenting in order to produce an automatic device for raising water which is hereinafter shown and described substantially as used.

It consists first of a suction and force pump made much in the ordinary way. The piston of which is forced downward by the action of a weight thereon which forces the water upward through a pipe to a proper discharging point, and second in providing a valve bucket, arranged so as to receive the discharge from the said pipe. Unity of action is produced or kept up by a lever, the short end of which is connected to the piston rod. The bucket is suspended to the 26,843, dated January 17', 1860.

longer arm of the lever at a proper or desirable distance from the fulcrum. Some care is required in rightly adjusting the weight upon the piston rod in order to harmonize the action of the several parts. Thus a less weight will counteract and lift the piston to its starting point, and at the same time lift the valve in the bucket and thereby discharge its contents, leaving the piston and weight free for another descent.

A, is the frame work to which I secure the mechanism.

B, is a suction and force pump.

C, is the piston.

D, is a piston rod; E, a weight secured to the piston rod.

F, are valves arranged in different parts.

Gr, is the pipe, through which the water is forced or elevated, and crooked at the desired point, so as to discharge the water into the bucket I.

H, is the lever which connects the pump with the bucket.

I is the bucket suspended to the long arm of the lever I-I.

What I claim therefore and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- The arrangement as described of a pump B, weighted piston E, pipe Gr, self discharging bucket I, and lever I-I, substantially as, and for the purpose described.
