.ern ric JOHN OHAMPLIN, OF EAST MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT.
WATER-ELEVATOR.
Specification of Letters Patent To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOI-IN CHAMPLIN, of East Middlebury, in the county of Addison and State of Vermont, have invented a new and Improved Tater Elevating Device; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactl description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side sectional view of my invention taken in the line zo, Fig. 3, and looking in the direction indicated by arrows l. Fig. 2 an end sectional view of the same looking in the direction indicated by arrows 2. Fig. 3 a plan or top view of the same with the cover of the curb removed.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
This invention relates to an improved water-elevating device of that class in which buckets are employed and are designed for domestic use and to be operated manually.
The invention has for its object an expeditious and easy elevation of the water without spilling the same and rendering the platform of the curb wet and disagreeable in summer and icy in winter and causing the washing of dirt and filth into the well.
The invention also has for its object, durability, economy in construction and a ready adaptation to any well however situated as well as the admission of the use of various sized vessels to receive the water from the device, thereby enabling the latter to be constructed and sold in quant-ities without reference to any conditions pertaining to the wells to which they may be applied.
The invention consists in the employmentor use of valvular buckets, one or more, attached by suitable cords or chains to a windlass, the shaft of which is provided with tilting shoes connected with a pawl-operating mechanism; the bucket or buckets being arranged to operate in connection with the shoes and placed in such relation with a discharge spout so as to effect the desired end.
The invention also consist-s in anovel arrangement of a Ldischarge spout whereby the same is rendered vertically adjustable to suit various sized vessels that may be placed beneath its orifice to receive the contents of the bucket or buckets.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully e, 28,832, dated June 26, 1860.
understand and construct 'my invention I will proceed to describe it.
A represents a box or curb which is designed to be adjusted over the top of a well. This box or curb maybe of any suitable form and dimensions.
B is a shaft placed in the upper part of the curb and having two pulleys C, C, on it, one near each end, said pulleys being se- `cured permanently to the shaft and one of them C, having a ratchet a, at its outer side with which two pawls l), b", alternately engage as will presently be more particui larly referred to. l
Each pulley C, C', has a rope or chain c, attached to it. These ropes or chains pass around pulleys D, D, in the front side of the `curb A, and returning within the curb pass over pulleys (Z, at the centers of bails e, at. the upper ends of semicylindrical shells or shoes E,Ywhich have each arms f, through which the shaft B, passes loosely, the shoes E, being thereby allowed to turn or tilt on or over said shaft B. The upper and front ends of the shoes E, oroject forward in spout form as shown at g.
To the end of each chain or rope c, a bucket F, is attached, each bucket being provided with a valve 71,-, in its bottom opening upward see Fig. l.
In the lower part of the curb A, there is placed a shaft G, which has arms z', z', proj ecting from it at opposite sides. The buckets F, F, are connected with these arms z', one bucket being connected to each arm by means of links y', and to one end of the shaft G, at a point below the ratchet a, there is secured transversely a semitubular box H, in which a ball I, is placed and allowed to roll freely. The box H, projects at equal distances from opposite sides of the shaft Gr.
To the inner side of the curb A, there are attached two pawls b, b, said pawls being attached to the curb at their lower ends by pivots la. Each pawl is provided with a lip or projection Z, which is directly opposite each end of the box H. The outward movement of the upper end of one pawl is determined by an arm K, and the outward movement of the other pawl is determined by a stop m, both the arm and stop are shown in Fig. 3.
There are two arms K, attached to oppothese arms form bearings to receive the joursite sides of the curb and the upper ends of nals n, at the inner end of a spout L. This spout is of wide or flaring form at its inner or back end extends nearly the whole Width of the space between the pulleys C, C', in order to receive the water from both the buckets F, F. The spout quickly contracts and passes through an oblong slot 0, in the front side of the curb. Directly over this slot 0, there is placed a slide M, which is formed of two vertical. or longitudinal equal parts px, px, fitted in guides gx, gx. The front or outer part of the spout L, passes through the slide M, a recess being formed in each part for it to pass through. This arrangement of the spout L, admits of its outer end being elevated to suit vessels of different heights which may be placed under it, and the slide M, keeps the slot 0, in the front side of the curb covered so as to prevent the admission of dust within the. curb.
The operation of the buckets is as follows. The shaft B, is turned by a crank N, at one end, and when one bucket is elevated or reaches its culminating point by the winding of its rope or chain c, on its pulley C, or C, the bail of said bucket strikes the bail of its shoe E, and the shoe and bucket are both tilted, see Figs. l, and 3, and the contents of the bucket discharged into the spout L. As the elevated bucket tilts its links .7', turns the shaft G, a certain distance and inclines the box H, so that thel ball I, will roll down in the box and throw the engaged pawl free from the ratchet a, the other pawl falling in contact with the ratchet by its own gravity. When one bucket is fully elevated and tilted, the motion of the shaft B, is reversed and the elevated bucket descends into the well to till while the lower filled bucket ascends to be emptied. The pawls Y), b', are alternately made to gear into the ratchet a, each bucket being made to actuate its own pawl through the medium of its link or links j, and the arms t', on shaft G, G, the pawls serving as checks to the ascending and lled buckets. The outer end of shaft G, is provided with one arm or index O, by which the position of the pawls are shown. This arm or index also admits of the shaft G, being turned to actuate the pawls so that a filled bucket may be lowered at any time should it be necessary from any cause to do so.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent isl. The buckets F, one or more attached to the pulleys C, C, of shaft B, in connec tion with the tilting shoes E, placed on the shaft B, and arranged in relation with the spout L, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The ball I, and box H, on shaft G, in connection with the pawls b, ZJ', attached to the inner side of the curb A, the shaft being connected to the shoes E, through the medium of the links and arms y', i, or their equivalents and the pawls arranged relatively with the ratchet a, as and for the purpose set forth.
3. The adjustable spout L, arranged in connection with the slide M, and tilting shoes E and adjusted respectively within and to the curb substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
f JOHN CHAMPLIN.
