METHOD OF ELEVATING AND DELIVERING WATER FROM WELLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 29,677, dated August 21, 1860; Reissued June 28,

l1864, No. 1,712.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES DAYKIN, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new aud useful Improvements in Tater-Drawers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which Figure l, is a perspective view, Figs. 2, 3, and et, detached sections, which will be referred to in the following description. Fig. 5, is a view of the rope.

Like letters denote like parts in the different views.

The nature of my improvement relates to a water drawer, constructed with a bucket, weight, and pulley. The bucket is so arranged in reference to a board extending across the case, that while the valve in the bucket is opened by means of a rod extending from this valve, and pressing against the board, the bucket is tipped, placing the spout of the bucket directly over the spout of the case. The rope also is so constructed as to always bring the bucket up in the right direction with reference to the spouts.

A, in Fig. l, represents the case or curb, partly broken out to show the arrangement of the apparatus inside for drawing water.

B, is the top of the case removed.

C, represents the pulley that is turned by the crank D, by means of which the bucket E, is raised or lowered. There are small pins, c, representing one of them in the groove of the pulley, to prevent the rope or band from slipping.

F, is a weight to which is secured the standards G, H, between which revolves the pulley I, thatrolls on the rope S, and counter balances the bucket E. The rope may be of any length according to the depth of the well. In Fig. l, the end of the rope, is represented as passing up through an opening in the cross piece C, and kept there securely by the key B, but it can be fastened in any other suitable way.

K, represents a board placed across the case, in the center of which is an opening, through which passes the rope that is attached to the bucket. This board is placed in an inclined position for the purpose of tipping the bucket, as is more clearly shown in Fig. 2. The rope being fastened to the bail in the center of the bucket, the bucket will ascend in a .horizontal position and of course it will touch the lower part of the board at K, first, and the bucket will `be in the position shown in the drawing; but by turning the crank a little more, the rod L, that is connected with the valve is forced down opening the valve, and at the same time the bucket is brought up parallel with the board K, and is in the position indicated by the lines E, bringing the spout E', of the bucket directly over the spout A, of the case. In this way we see that as the valve opens to discharge the water, the spout E', is with the same motion brought over the other spout. With this arrangement, the bucket no sooner begins to descend than it regains its horizontal position, otherwise it would hit against the edge of the spout A.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the bucket, showing the construction and operation of the valve. The lower end of the rod L, is jointed to a projection N, of the valve VL Between the upper and lower pieces forming this valve, there is a leather packing e, that extends back and is screwed to the bucket, preventing the valve from leaking, and answering the purpose of a flexible joint. l/Vhen the bucket is drawn up, the rod L, pressing against the board K, as before described, is forced down and the valve opens as indicated by the dotted lines, and the water flows freely out at the opening a, into the spout E', and into the spout- A. There is a clasp e', on the end of the rope that is attached to the bucket, that passes up through the slot in the board K, which insures a. direct and uniform motion to the tipping of the bucket.

Fig. Llfis a top view showing a portion of the interior of the spout A', the red line indicating the position of the spout E, when the bucket is tipped.

An enlarged view of the rope is shown in Fig. 5, consisting of four ropes placed side by side, in such a way that the coils are reversed froin each other. They are then joined firmly together; forming a flat rope or band, that will not twist either way, but always bring the bucket up in the right direction with reference to the spouts; the spout of the bucket being brought indirect Contact with the discharging spout A. Ini stead of four ropes joined together in this way there may be any number, two or more. Ropes constructed in this way will not twist or turn like the ordinary single rope, that is, the ropes must be twisted in opposite directions.

When the bucket E is drawn snugly to the under side of the board K, and the water discharged, the weight F, having ldescended to its lowest point, will be suflicient to keep the upper end ofthe bucket nearly in contact with the underside of the board K, which will consequently perform the oiiice of a cover, to prevent leaves and other matter wafted by the wind, from getting into the bucket. At the same time, by means of the same weight F, the valve stem L, will be kept pressed down sufliciently to hold the valve M slightly open, and this will allow a circulation of air through the bucket, which will prevent it from becoming foul, as would be the case, if a portion of water were allowed to remain in the bottom of the bucket.

The top of the case A should be pierced with holes, to facilitate the circulation of air, as seen at B.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The inclined board K, performing the several functions described, in combination with the spouts A and E, bucket E, valve M, rod L, rope S, and counter balance weight F, the whole being constructed arranged and operated in the manner and for the purpose set forth. Y

JAMES DAYKIN. Witnesses:
