N. W. HUNT 85M. KENNEDY. WATER BLEVATOR. No. 31,388. PatentedApr. 2, 1861.
iUNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
R. W. HUNT ANDM. KENNEDY, OF GALESBURG, ILLINOIS.
WATER-ELEVATOR.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 31,888, dated April 2, 1861.
To all whom #may concern.'
Be it known that we, R. W. HUNT and M. KENNEDY, of Galesburg, in thecounty of Knox and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Tater-Elevator; and we do hereby declare that the following is a l full, clear, and exact description of the same,
reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of `this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of our invention taken in the line m, Fig. 2. Fig. 2, a vertical section of the same taken in the line y, y, Fig. l. Fig. 3, a detached side View of one of the catches and drops pertaining to the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate cor responding parts in the several figures.
To enable those skilled in the art to make and use our invention we will proceed to describe it.
A represents a well and B a curb or box placed thereon. In the upper part of the curb B, there is placed a shaft C, which has a crank a, at one end and a pulley D on itat about its center.
E is a bucket which is provided at its bottom with a valve F, opening downward. The stem a', of this valve extends up through the bucket E, and is attached at its upper end to a rope or chain G, which passes over pulley D, and has a weight H, at its opposite end, the weight serving to counterpoise the bucket.
I is a spout which is hinged to the inner side of the curb B, and has rods attached to it, said rods being connected at their outer ends to a rod J, the ends of which bear or rest against vertical guides K, K, at the inner sides of the curb B. The central part of the rod J, is curved upward and provided with a loop or eye c, through which the rope or chain Gr passes and said rod J also has a ring cl attached through which the rope or chain also passes.
To the guides K, and near the upper part of the curb B, there are attached plates e, e, one to each guide.
a hook projection f, and these projections extend infront of the guides. To each The plates e have each plate e, there is attached a drop g, the upper parts of which have 'an inclined front surface as shown at It, Figs. l and 3. The drops are allowed to swing freely on their pivots z', and their lower ends bear against stops j.
The operation is as follows: The bucket E as it descends into the water lls in consequence of the valve F, dropping and opening by its own gravity. hen the bucket is filled it is elevated by turning the shaft C, the valve F closing under the pull of the rope or chain G, and when a cross piece 7c, on the bucket strikes the ring (E, on rod J the spout I, is elevated and is carried upward by the ascending bucket until the ends of the rods J, catch on the projections f, of the plates e. These plates e, sustain the socket E, and by slightly reversing themovement of shaft C, the valve F, drops and opens, and the water escapes from the bucket into spout I. This position of the bucket and spout is shown in red in Fi l. Then the bucket is emptied, the shaft is turned in the direction to elevate it, and the ends of rod J, lift the drops g, causing the ends of rod J, to pass over or beyond the hook projections f, of the plates e, as the bucket descends. The spout I, of course descendsI to its original pendent position as the bucket descends into the well to be re; filled. The pulley D has a serpentine groove ax, made in its periphery. This serpentine groove prevents the slipping of the rope'or chain over the pulley D. j
Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
The arrangement of the self 'opening valve F with the bucket E and lifting rope G when combined with the rod J, ring d. spout I, projections f plates e and drops g as and for the purposes herein shown and described.
R. W. HUNT. M. KENNEDY.
