SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,920, dated July 10, 1883.

' Application filed May 25, 1883. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern; 7

Be it known that I, WILFRED EAMES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Evansville, in the county of Vanderburg and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention has relation to force-pumps, and more particularly to that class where the pumping mechanism is located under the platform of the well, or at any distance below the surface of the ground; and the object is to provide a pump for the ready, rapid, and effective raising or forcing of the water, and to accomplish it in the simplest possible manner, so that there will be no complicated parts or undue liability to get out of order; and to that end the novelty consists in the construction of the same, as will behereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings similar letters of reference indicate like parts of 'the in-' Figure 1 is a vertical sectional elevation of my improved pump. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the pump-cylinders and connections; and Fig. 3 is perspective detail of the pump Fig. 4 is side elevation of the pump cylinder and connections.

A is the base, secured to the platform B. This base A has cast thereon a clamp, a, and a is a similar clamp secured to the former by bolts a, so that the pump-standard C may be clamped atany desired position.

D is the piston-rod, which passes through a guide, d, in the baseA.

E is the handle, which is fulcrumed in top e of the standard 0,.whi1e its shorter end is hinged or pivoted to the upper end of the piston-rod D. The plug 1 is conical in shape,

and its base, being uppermost, is securely held in place by friction, thus dispensing with any other fastening device, and at the same time it may be readily withdrawn, when necessary, for repairs. l'norder to adaptor adjust the handle E to the height of a person, the bolts a in the base A areloosened and the standard 0 raised or lowered as desired. The bolts are then screwed up, so as to clamp the standard between the parts a and a at any desired height. The standard 0 may extend downinto the well any distance. To its lower end is secured (preferably by screw-threads) a T-connection, F, and to the lower endof this connection F is secured a short pipe, G, of the same diameter as the standard 0. I This pipe G has a T-connection, H, similar to connec tion F. I is a suction-pipe secured thereto, which extends down into the water.

K is the'top pumpingcylinder, provided with an outlet, 71, which communicates with V the upper connection, F. The cylinder is secured to the connection by means of the bolts it It, passing through the lugs L and L.

M is the lower cylinder, and consists of a straight piece of pipe turned true on the end s, so as to make a joint with the bottom of the upper cylinder, K, and with the elbow N.

m mare lugs on the cylinder K, and similar lugs, a n, are on the elbow N, and these are connected by the bolts 0, so that the cylinder M is clamped between the top cylinder, K, and the elbow N. This elbow N is provided with lugs o o, by means of which it is bolted to similar lugsfo 0, on the connection H. The upper part of the elbow N is conical in shape, and hasa wooden plug, P, to which is secured the valve Q. 7 The lower end of the pistonrod D has a rubber cup-shaped valve-piston, It, working in the cylinder M 5 and Sis an ordinary form of piston in the top cylinder, K.

In operation the piston-rod is raised and the water drawn through the suction-pipe I, 0011- spout (not shown) in the top. I

T is a removable wooden plug in the lower end of the pipe G, which prevents the suctionwater passing through said pipe, and causes it to take the course above mentioned through the cylinders.

VVhen' the pump is not in use, the column of water remaining in the standard 0 allows whatever sediment or foreign matter it may contain to fall by gravity and settle in the pipe G, thus preventing its injuring the cylinders and insuring the discharge of clear water.

Where the pump is used for pumping water and sand in driven wells, the sand falls into the pipe G and does not injure the facing of the valve Q.

'with the connection H, elbow N, and pumpcylinders K M, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The cylinder K, having lugs m m and outlet h, cast in one piece, the elbow N, having lugs n n, in combination with the cylinder M, bolts 0 O, and connections F H, and pipe G, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. The connections F H, having lugs L 0,

in combination with the cylinders K M, the former having lugs L, and the elbow N, having lugs ,0, as'and fonthe purpose set forth.

4. The elbow N, having conical upper portion, and provided with Ythe conical wooden plug P, inserted so its base forms the seat for the valve Q, as set forth.

5-. In a force-pump, the pipe G, provided with removable plug T,'forming a sand-chamber, in combination with the couplings F H, standard 0, cylinder M, and elbow N, as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof IaffiX my signature in 4 presence of two witnesses;

' WILFRED EAMES.
