T0 alla/hom t mag/concern:

Be it known that we, ROLAND MORRILL and FERNANDO MORLEY, citizens of the United States, residing at Benton Harbor, in the county of Berrien, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Insect-Destroyers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in portable spraying pumps of that class designed to be inserted into a barrel, tank or other receptacle, and having means for forcing the water through suitable hose upon the plants or other desired objects, and it has forits object among others to provide a simple and cheap pump of this character, composed of few parts and those readily assembled, and in Awhich the valves and piston and other parts so soon worn in ordinary constructions are rendered capable of use for a greater length of time owing to the fact that the sediment is retained in the pump-head and not carried through the cylinder.' Y We provide an agitator which is pivotally connected with the bodyportion of the pump and adapted to be actuated by the reciprocation of vthe pump handle to which it is`pivotally connected.

The casting constituting the cap to the cyl-A inder is of novel construction. The agitator is so arranged that upon its downward stroke, as soon as it passes the center it throws a current across the bottom ofthe barrel directly under the intake of the pump and thus prevents the sediment from entering, andif perchance any should enter the body portion of the pump it willbe retainedtherein and not pass to the cylinder. It can be readily removed when desired through a hand-hole provided in the body portion for that purpose.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and inwhich- Figure 1 is a substantially central vertical Y section showing the pump within the barrel a portion of which is broken away. Fig. 2 is plan View of ,the adjustable head-plate removed. Fig. 3 is a plan of the agitator. Fig. 4 is a substantially central vertical section through the cap piece.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views. n

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a cylinder of the required length and which constitutes the stand pipe or air chamber4 of the pump. It is removably secured` at its lower end in the screw threaded neck b of the body portion B of the pump which'is a casting of elbow form `the said neck being at its upper end'while the other end is provided with a removable plug or cap B as seen in Fig. 1, to permit of access to the interior of the casting when desired. This casting is preferably provided with legs b as shown to elevate the same slightly above the bottom of the barrel or .other receptacle within which it isplaced, although it is evident that the casting may be placed upon any suitable contrivance to thus elevate it. This casting is further provided with the cylinder C which is screwed into an opening therein andwithin this cylinder Works the piston D provided with packingv rings as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1 and this piston or plunger is formed with a depending rounded portion d as seen in Fig. land within this rounded cavity is pivotally held the lower end of the plunger rodE upon a rod or pin e, the other end of the plunger rod'being pivotally connected as at c with the operating handle E as shown in Fig. 1.

This manner of connection permits of the necessary movement of the plunger rod Without binding the plunger in the cylinder C. In the bottom of the casting in Vertical line with the opening in which the cylinder C is secured is an, opening in which is screw threaded the sleeve F having a flange f at its upper end as seen in Fig. 1, said ange being provided with ears f in which is held the pivot pin f2 upon which is pivotally mounted the iap valve F', the ysaid. valve having an up- Wardly-extending projection or lobe F2 working through an opening in th'e arm which carries the valve, the said arm serving to'prevent the Valve from passing the center when inA action by reason of vthe said lobe engaging the inner Wall of the casting.

.Gr is the discharge pipe. It is arranged con- IOO centrically within the barrel or cylinder A and its lower end terminates a short distance above the lower end of the said cylinder as seen in Fig. 1, while in the lneck b of the casting Bis a diaphragm B2 having an opening in which is secured the nipple or tube H having a horizontal flange at its upper end and carrying a valve G similar to the valve F just described. Y

I is a cap piece or bulk-head having an internally threaded neck z' into which is screwed the upper end of the cylinder A as shown in Fig. 1. The said cap-piece is further pro- A vided with a centrally-disposed vertical screw threaded opening fi which communicates with the chamber J from which lead the two screw threaded nipples I as seen best in Fig. 4 into which may be screwed the delivery pipes which may be of any suitable character, flexible or otherwise. This cap is formed with the ears or lugs j in which is held the pin K on which is pivoted the operating handle E as seen in Fig. 1.

The end of the operating handle or lever has pivotally connected thereto a rod L the other end of which is pivotally held to a lug or the equivalent projecting upward from the agitator M, which agitator is pivotally held as at Z to a lug l\` on the body portion or casting B as shown in Fig. 1, the agitator being formed with the ears m as shown, through which the pivot passes.

In practice the pump constructed substantally as above described is inserted within a barrel N or any other receptacle or into a body of water contained therein. The top of the barrel is provided with a diammetrical opening over which is arranged the head plate which is composed of two substantially like parts shown detached in Fig. 2, each part O having an opening o on one side with an upwardlyextending dange o to embrace the cylinder A, and the two parts hinged together at the inner adjacent corners as at O and at the opposite corners provided with the lugs o2 through which is designed to pass the key or bolt P as shown in Fig. 1. The said plates are provided upon their adjacent edges with longitudinal recesses P which, `when the plates are together, form slots through which pass the rods E and L, and at these points are provided the downwardly-extending iianges p as seen best in Fig. 1 to prevent splashing or slopping of the liquid as the handle is worked.

In applying the head one part is placed in position and then the other and when the adjacent edges are brought together, the one moving with relation to the other upon the pivot or hinge, the same are clamped together by the keyand the cylinder is firmlyembraced thereby. The plates are secured to the head Q of the barrel by means of screws or other devices inserted in the holes q at the corners of the plates as shown in Fig. 2.

As seen at the right of Fig. 1 at the bottom the sleeve F is formed with a square opening for the reception of a wrench or other means for seating and unseating the same, and the upper face is countersunk as seen in the section to prevent the face being bruised by tools and also leaves the face of uniform width throughout its entire circumference.

The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the annexed drawings. The pump being placed in the barrel and the liquid therein prepared as may be desired the operating handle or lever is actuated which will operate the plunger in the usual manner to force the water np the discharge pipe and out of the delivery pipes. The agitator serves to cause a current across beneath the inlet opening F and prevents the sediment from being taken up into the pump.

Modifications in detail may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacricing any of its advantages.

What is claimed as new is- 1. The casting formed with a neck to receive the cylinder and having a diaphragm with an opening to receive a valve seat, a removable plug at right angles to the neck, an inlet opening with valve and an exterior lug, combined with the pump barrel, the discharge pipe and the valves, an agitator mounted on a pivot held in said lug and means for operating the agitator, substantially as specified.

2. The combination with the body portionV of the pump having a lug upon one side and an inlet opening in its bottom, of an agitator horizontally disposed near the bottom and pivotally mounted on said lug and adapted to force the current beneath said inlet opening, the plunger, the discharge spout and cooperating means, substantially as specified.

3. The two-part head plate each part formed with a semi-circular recess and oppositelydisposed recesses to form slots for the passage of the operating rods of the pump and agitator, the said two parts being pivotally connected together at one corner, as set forth.

4. The combination with the elbow body portion, of the cylinder secured in a neck thereof, the cap-piece secured to the upper end of the cylinder, the discharge pipe held suspended concentrically within the cylinder and supported by the cap-piece, the operating handle, pivotally mounted on-said cap piece the plunger connected therewith,and the horizontally disposed oscillatory agitator pivotally mounted on the body portion and pivotally connected with the operating handle, as set forth.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
