WATER ELEVATOR AND CARRIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,214, dated November 23, 1886.
Application filed September 20, 1886. Serial No. 214,021. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, J EssE S. FORD, of Ohio county, Kentucky, and PETER RARicK, of Owensborough, in the county of Daviess and State of Kentucky, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Water Elevators and Carriers, and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of our imr 5 proved water elevator and carrier. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the carrier, showing the tripping device. Fig. 3 is avertical section illustrating one of the carrier-hangers in its relation to carrier and track. Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the remote post and itsappurte nanoes, and Fig. 5 represents a vertical medial section and a plan of the trip-washer.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures.
Ourinvention has relationto water elevators and carriers; and it consists in the improved construction of and combination of parts constituting the same, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.
The object of this invention is to make such improvements upon the elevator and carrier for which Letters Patent of the United States, N 0. 343,808, were granted to us on June 15, 1886, as will adapt thecarrier to be run sus 3 5 pended from a weight-stretched wire or rope, or from a single wooden rail, also to add a new tripping deviee to the carrier and an improved trip-washer to the well rope or chain.
I In the accompanyingdrawings, A represents 40 the side rails of the carrier-frame; B, the clamping-levers; 0, their springs; D, the cross-bars, and E the central pulley, all of which parts are identical with those set forth in the patent above referred to.
The carrieris supported upon asinglestrand track, F, by means of the hangers G, to the upper ends of which are journaled the grooved wheels H, and which are braced from the carrier-frame by rods I. Said track is represented in the drawings as made of a wire,wh,ich is sc curely fastened to the proximate post, J, and
passed over a pulley in' the upper end of the remote post, K, and held taut by the weight L. Intermediate supports are placed at intervals between said posts. The first one, M, arises from a bracket, N, secured to the proximate post,and is bent to one side to allow the wellrope O to pass over a pulley, P, upon the bracket, whence said rope descends through a hole in the bracket to the Windlass. The front edge of said bracket acts as an abutment'for the carrier. The last support, Q, is similar to the first one, thoughstraight, and arises from r a bracket attached to the remote post. Upon this bracket are placed abutments R, for stopping the carrier at that end of its route. The wedges S are the same as described in the above-mentioned patent, and are secured one to each of the. two brackets. The lower end of the supports M and D pass through these wedges and are provided with jam-nuts, which permit said supports to be adjusted vertically, thereby providing for lowering or raising the track at those points,in order to keep the carrier with its clamping levcrs in the proper relation to the wedges. The other supports consist of posts set in the ground and provided with arms T at their upper ends, the outer end of each arm being bent vertically and bifurcated to receive the track.
It is evident that a rope' may take the place of the wire here represented, or thata wooden rail may be permanently secured to the two posts and rested upon the intermediate supports to perform the same office. 3 5
The tripping device consists of an H shaped frame, U, pivoted by one end to the outer ends of the side rails of the carrier. The cross-bar of said device rests upon the lower bar, D, of the carrier'and under the outer ends of the 0 clamping-levers. Thefree ends of the sides of said frame are turned inwardly,and likewise rest under said levers. It is against these ends of the tripping device that the trip-washer upon the well-rope strikes. This trip-washer 5 V consists of a cylindrical bar, provided with a conical head at its upper end and with acircular flange at its lower end. Said washer is formed about a rod provided with eyes at either end for attaching it to the well rope or chain.
In operating the apparatus the well rope passes from the bucket up between the clamping-levers, over the pulleys F and P, and down to the Windlass, and when the bucket is drawn up the trip-washer strikes the tripping device, whose cross-bar and bent ends make doubly sure the disengagement of both of the clamp ing-levers from the Wedges, and the conical head assists in entering the bar of said washer between the clamping-levers, and in holding said bar there till the carrier has reached its destination. Other features in the operation are set forth in the aforesaid patent.
Having thus fully described our invention, we claim- 1. In a Water elevator and carrier, the combination of the terminal posts, a singlestrand track secured to said posts, a bracket secured to each post, a support at each bracket having its upper end secured to the track, and havingits lower end screw-threaded and passed through the bracket, two nuts upon each sup port, one above and one below the bracket,and a carrier suspended from said track.
2. In a water elevator and carrier, the combination of the terminal posts, a single-strand track secured to one post and passed over a pulley in the other one, a weight attached to the free end of said strand, adjustable supports arising from brackets secured to the terminal posts, intermediate supports, and a carrier suspended from said track.
3. In the within-described carrier, the combination of the clamping-levers and a tripping device consisting of an H-shaped frame pivoted by one end of each of its side pieces to one end of the carrier and having the other ends of 7 said side pieces bent inwardly, and means, substantially as described, for operating said tripping mechanism, and for moving said carrier.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereunto affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
