JOHN S. BUSH, OF TURNPIKE, NORTH CAROLINA.

WELL MECHANISM.

&SPECIFICATION o'ming part 0:' Letters Patent No. 345.275, clated July 13, 1886.

Application liled November 12, 1885.

To all whom iz? may concew:

Be it known that l, JOHN S. BUSH, of Turnpike, in the county ol' Haywood and State of North Carolina, have invcnted an Inproved lVell Mechanisn, of which the following is a specification.

The special object of the invention is to improve the operation of windlassi ng up water from a well, so that as the bucket is turned for eptying its contents into a trough or other reoeptaclc the sprocket or elevator wheel will be automatically stopped, and in such a way that the person who is drawing the water will feel the check instantaneousl y andprepare to reverse the windlass.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a longitudinal vertical section of the well nechanisn, showing very clearly the local relation of the parts. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the position of the dianetrically-opposite steps or rods which upset the buckets.

In the drawings, A reprcsents a sprocketwheel, and B a ehain for-med of 'ectangular links b, jointed alternately to eye-plates b'.

C G are buekets, attaehed by eyes c c to the bails G' OC These bails have eyes c' c', which turn on pivots above the middle of buekcts which are ofgreatest weight below these pivots, so as to hang properly.

D is the oscillating shaft, which carries the sproeket-wheel A, and is arranged in suitable bearings, d d', in the uprights D' D'.

E is an ordinary well-box, having the cover or roof F to protect the ncchanisn, and to prevent the fall of Snow, rain, or hail into the well. On the inside are attached the troughs or water-receptaclcs G, which communicate Serial Ne 182.553 !No model.)

by a hole, e, with a spout or other conveyance for the water. At a little further inward than these t'oughs is arranged the cross-bar K, slightly above it. On each bucket is placed,

at the outcr side between and a little above' the pivots, an upwardlyturned hook, I, which,

piece, K, which catehes into the notches ot' block J, thus allowing the wheel to oscillate a halt-revolution in bringing up each bneket.

L is a projectng rin on the side of wheel, to prevent the piece K from being knocked off.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of ny invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

1. A well mechanisn consisting of a wind.- ig-shaft, a sprocket-wheel carrying the arm or piece K, a single sprocket-chain, two buckets, of which one `is on each end of the same ehain, and a block having opposite notchesj j, as and for the purpose described.

2. The block J, having opposite notches jj, in conbination with the piece K, attached to wheel A, as and for the purpose specified.
