UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ORLANDO SHEPARD, OF ROCHESTER, OHIO.
iMPRovEMl-:NT IN WATER-ELEVATOas.
Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,125, dated September 29, 1863.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ORLANDO SHEPARD, of
` Rochester, in the county of Lorain and State ot' Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Water-Drawers and I 'do hereby declare that the following is a fullv and complete description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specication, in which- Figure l is a front view, and Fig. 2 a vertical section in the direction of the line .fr x in Fig. 1.
The nature of my invention relates to such an arrangement of parts that the bucket will always be brought up with the same side presented to the spout, .insuring thereby the uni- `form tipping ot' the same by its ascent.
In the accompanying dra-wings, A represents a windlass, which is placed across the top of the curb in the usual manner. The windlass is in 'the form ot' a double cone joining at the base, but separated by the section B; which is in the forni ot' a straight cylinder, having a length equal to the diameter ot' the bucket B. The diameter of the cylinder B is greater than the base of the cone part of the cylinder U C, for the purpose hereinafter specited. At the outer and smaller ends ot' the cones is a head, D-that is, the cone terminates in the form of a spoolto keep the rope in proper positionvas it winds upon the cones.
E represents a pulley, about ten inches in diameter, the bearings of which are rigidly attached to the bail of the bucket.
F represents a rope, one end of which is attached to the windlass at F, thence itis passed around the pulley E, and the other or free end attached to the WindlassI at F". Theentire length of the rope must of course be suflicient to allow the bucket to reach the Water. In consequence of the cone shape ot' the wiudlass the rope will wind closely, as seen in Fig. l; but should the depth of the Well require a length of rope suticient to ll the cones, the greater diameter of the enlarged portion B will turn back the rope upon itself, and thus its relative position will be preserved whether the rope ascends or descends upon the cone.
By means of the cone-shaped windlass the rope will always occupy precisely the same relative positions upon each end of the windlass, as seen in Fig. 1 5 consequently the ascent of the bucket will bein the center of the curb, and by reason of the diameter of the pulley E the rope is prevented from twisting upon it self, and hence the front side of the bucket is always presented to the spout.
The front side of the bucket is provided with a finger, G, which, in the ascent of the bucket, passes inside ot' the bail H, attached to the inside of the curb, and as the bucket rises it is thrown forward into the position shown in Fig. 2 and the contents discharged into the spout.
What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The double cone O O ot' the windlass with the double rope F F vand pulley E, when constructed, arranged, and operatin g substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
