APPARATUS-` FOR RAISING WATER. g

UNITED sTATEs PATENT Specification ofLetters Patent No. 5,179, dated.J'u11e'26,V 17847,; kAntegdated.JI)ecember 27, 184:6;v i

- To all whom t may concern:

Be it kknown that I, DANIEL WINDER, of Hagerstown, in the county of Washington and State of Maryland, have invented anew and useful Improvement in the Method of Raising Water, and that thefollowing is a full, clear, and eXact description of the princ ciple or character which distinguishes it from all other` things before known; and of the manner of making, constructing, and using the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification in which- Figure l is an elevation of the apparatus, and Fig. 2, a vertical section.

The same letters indicate like parts in all the figures.

The object of my invention is to raise water by atmospheric pressure above the height due to the pressure of oneatmosphere, and the nature of my invention con sists in connecting the lower part of an air tight receiver placed in the lower part of a well, with a pump placed more than thirty-two feet above the level of the water in the well by means of a pipe provided with a two way cock that the pump may communicate with the receiver or with the atmosphere, which pump communicates with another air tight receiver above it, the top of the said upper receiver being connected with the top"of the receiver in the well by means of a pipe, and the lower part thereof by means of another pipe with the tank or tanks above it into which the water is to be raised. The tube which connects the pump and lower receiver is exhausted that the water from the lower receiver may be forced up by atmospheric pressure to the height due to the pressure of one atmosphere, the two way cock is then turned to close this communication and open the pipe to the atmosphere for the purpose of drawing in air and compressing it in the upper receiver which being in connect-ion with the tcprof the lower receiver, the elastic force of the air acts on the surface of the water in the lower receiver to force it up to the height of the pump so that returning the two-way cock to re-establish the communication between the pump and lower receiver the water will be forced up into the pump, and thence transferred to the` upper receiver, from which it will be forced up the delivery pipe by the elastic force of the compressed all.

resents a well into which is placed -an air tight receiver (B) provided withan' indue-f tion valve (Zi) at the bottom through` which the water. flows when the pressure inthe receiver 1sv reduced byexhaustion. Thev lower part of this receiver opens by lan eduction l valv ey(0)', int-oa pipe (C): thatpcommuni-V cates with a suction and force, pump (E) placed Ymore"thanthirty two feetabove the level of the water inthe well, and this pipe is provided with a two Way cock (J) placed near the pump by means of which cock the pump can be made to communicate with the receiver (B) or with the. atmosphere, the junction of the pipe and pump being provided with an induction valve (d), so that the air or water which enters the cylinder of the pump by the aperture of the piston (H) will be prevented from running back into the receiver (B) by the return stroke of the piston, but be forced up vthrough a valve (e) in a pipe (K) that communicates with the lower part of an air tight receiver (D) which is similar to the one (B). The top of the two receivers (B) and (D) are connected together by means of a pipe (0), and the lower part of the upper receiver (D) communicates by means of a pipe (F) with tanks (P) at any elevation required. A

safety valve (L) of the usual construction to close this communication and to open the p pipe to the atmosphere so thatbythe continued working of the pump atmospheric air will be compressed into the upper .receiver D), and when a sufficient amount of pressure has .been obtained the cock i(J) is turned to re-.open the connection between kthe lower're'ceiver and the pump so that the elastic 'force of the comp-ressed air in the upper receiver (D) acting through the pipe Y (o) on the surface of the water in the lower receiver (B) will force the water up through l, Y 1,10' 1 the pipe (C) into the pump, and by the working of the pump it will be' forcedup into the pipe to be drawn by faucets i 2 Y Y 5,179

(f, f) into the tanks (P) for other receptacle. In this Way the elastic force of the air acting on the surface of the lWater in the lower receiver forces it up into the pump which is more than thirty-two feet above the level of theyvvater in the Well, or above the heightI to Which it Would rise 1by atmosphericpresf sure in an exhausted tube; and in like manL ner after the apparatus has been charged the"` 10 Water vvill be kept in the tube (F) bythe 'elastic force of the atmospheric air, from E which it can be drawn at anytime by turning the cocks (f, f).

Having thus described the principle or character of my invention, the construction thereof, and the manner of operating it, what I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is'- The lower receiver placed in a Well or other reservoir of Water in combination with the Vpump placed more than thirty feet above the level of the Water in the Well or reservoir and with the upper receiver7 the pump and lower receiver being connected by means of la pipe provided With a four Way cock 0r other valve so that the pump may connect .with the receiver or the atmosphere, and the .ftvvo receivers being connectedvby means of an air pump that the air Jforced into the upper one by the pump may act on the surface of the Wat-er in the lower receiver and force the Water up to the pump to a height greater than Vis due to the pressure of one atmosphere, as herein described. y
