J is a pipe screw-threaded intoa boss j on.
in order to make a water-tight joint between the thimble and shell F a packing is is inserted at the end of the thimble 'and'around the tube D.
The plug G'has formed therewith an eye g for the attachment of the rope by which the ing by a suitable derrick and rope, the derlrick not being shown, as'it maybe of anyofthe usual and well-known forms of construc the shell-F, and connected with the chamber Fv and with a hose or other pipetleading to a water-supply for supplying the water-to be used in cutting the hole by the cutter B.-
coupling 0, and the pipe J has connected.
v The catch H locks the plate I, which, in connection with the thimble 1, forms a-stuflingt boxagainst withdrawal from the rotation of the tube D, and between the cap of .the plug G and the abutting end of the shell E suitable packing isto be provided, so thatthe thilnble I will bewater-tight, insuring the flow of the water into the tubular extension G, and thence into the tube D and down the through the tube 0 will cause an outflow at the bottom through the serrations of the'cutter 13 and pass .up outside of thetubing or casing and carry with it the cuttings.
The operation isas follows:- The first length oftubing or casing, with the cutter B thereto attached, is inserted in a suitable mechanism, by which it can be rotated, and its upper end is connected with the swiveltube D by the and as the water supplied through the tube J 1s at a higher head thanthesurface of the earth,or undei the pressureof aforce-pum p or other power, such water will pass up outside of-the tubing" or casing, carrying with it the material forced out by the inflow, leaving a clear opening for the passagelof the tubing or casing; The path or opening cut by the tool B wlll pass through the ditferent strata of the earth. and in its courseis liable to meet with sand or gravel, through which the water will percolate, and such a stratum when reached will be indicated by the waterceasing -'to outflow on the outside of the tubing or casing; and in a case like this'the tubing or casing is i to be. raised a few ti-incs,which will allow the clay and other close earthy substances, of Y which asufiiclent quantity will usually be found inthe core, to down and out and -form a wall'arounil' the tubing or casing at the point where the 'waterpercolates, through,
which wall the water cannot pass, and will again riseand-ilow out at the top of the ground; and such wall, impervious to water,
can. be formed wherever a stratum of sand or I gravel through which water-will pereolate is met, and this without removing the tubing or casing fromthehole. The-core itself'will ordinarily furnish enough clay and other close earthy material for forming a wall impe'rvi j o'us to water in a stratum of "sand or gravel; but'in case there should not be enough masuitable material can be inserted in the tubingor casing at the top, to be carried down by the water and pass out at the cutter-head and form awall, as shown in'Fig. 5, the tubing or casing being'raised to allow the material to escape and force it into the bed of sand or gravel. The water stratum when reached .terial in the core to form a wall clay or other 7 1 will be indicated by the water rising above v the surface and coming up with the overflow, as with this mode of forming a well there is a perfecthole made, into which the tube fitsloosely, making a good conduitfor'the water,
and a furtherindication that water has .been
reached will bevdisclosed bythe material that escapes with the overflow, as when gravel or sand is reached it will-come out with the overflow, and if. no clayey matter ismixed therewith, it, with'the water indication will show that water has. been reached, and in the event of reaching water without a sutiicient amount of sand or gravel for filtering purposes a quan:
tity sufficient for the water to be filtered can be supplied by filling the tubing or casing with gravel or other material-such as broken shells, stones, bricks, charcoal, or other materiah-to press down and form a bed, through which water .will percolate and be filtered.
It sometimes occurs thatbeds of water are foundin clayey material through which a well.
could-not be formed, and in such a case, by the use of the means hereinbefore described v and shown in thedrawings, abed of gravel or sand for the water to pass through can be formed .by allowing cleani gravel or sand or other material that will form a bed to pass dewhthrough the tubing or casing and out at the bottom and raising the tubing as in forming a clay wall.- Thiswill form-a tube of gravel or sand or other filtering material that will convey water through i and suchwater will rise tea point where a pump can reach it, or if the head of the supply is sutii-' ciently high the water will flow of its own accord. -The wall,'at a stratum of sand or gravel in sinking the well, can be formedby the clay or other close earthymaterial in thecore itself,
.or by inserting clay in the tubing or .casing to pass down and ou or' by inserting other matcrlal'such asgumbo', bran, rice, grain, or
other flexible and adhesive material that will fill the-porous sand .or gravel and pack or cement itself together to produce awall' impervious to water, and in places'wherc the soil cement and revolving the 4 slowly and forcing the water gently down so I 443,069 p s is suitable a wall can be made by inserting tubing or casing that its current willnot-wash the cement v away, and in forming a Wall of clay or other material the water is to be graded as to pressure and flow so that it will act and pack the material firmly and also furnish the means of reducing the material to a proper condition to be packed. The pressure of the water will furnish a resistance by which .the caving in of the wall will be prevented.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- a 1. The cutter B and tubing or casing C, in combination with the swivel-connections D E, anti-friction rollers e, shell F,-plug G, having the perforated tubular extension G, and watext-supply J, for sinking a well and forming a core in the tubing, or casing, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. The process of boring and sinking a well through porous strata, which consists in rotating a tubular well-casing having on its lower end a cutter that leaves the end of the tubular casing open and conveying through said tubular casing a stream of water and a quantity of plastic material, whereby the core formed in the casing will be Washed out and an impervious wall be formed around the-ex terior of the casing to constitute a conduit along the outside of said casing for the flow of Water and cuttings to the surface, substantially as described.
