SAMUEL S. DURBON, OF LEBANON, INDIANA.

IMPROVEMENT IN PUMPS.

To all whom it may concer/n:

Be it known that I, SAML. S. DURBON, of Lebanon, in the county of Boone and State of Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Pumping Vater from Wells; and I do hereby declare that the following' is a full and eXact description thereof, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, of which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view; Fig. 2, a lateral section; Figs. 3 and 4, transverse sections; and Fig. 5, a detail.

The nature of my invention consists in building an air-tight iron boX, A, with three apartments. Two ot' them are for pumping and one for receiving and exhausting. This exhausting-chamber is an air-chamber.

I insert into each oi the two pumping-apartments the tubular valve-seats 6 6, to receive the gum-elastic valves 7 7 which are provided with spindles l1 11, and are confined to a perpendieularmotiou by means of holes in the brackets 8 and 9 of the frame 10.

1S 18 represent two holes through the partition between thcair-chamber and the pumpingapartments, by means of which the water passes from the pu m pin g-apartments into the exh austing-chamber, (air-chairmen) where the pressure ot the air forces it out through the tube C.

13 represents a self-'adj usting leverage,which is provided with guln valves 15 15, and is so arranged as to close one or both holes, as the case may require. This leverage slides in the frame 16 by means ol" a slot and bolt, 14. To the top of these pumping-apartments I attach two cylinders, B B, and provide each with a piston-rod, 4 4. To the lower ends of these piston-rods I attach a piston composed of three parts, 1, 2, and 3. The conic-shaped washer 1 is fastened to the piston-rod 4, so as to meet the point of the conic-shaped washer 2, which is also fastened to the piston-rod 4, but by means of a screw.

3 3 represent the gum-elastic packings, so shaped as to t the two conic-sh aped washers tightly.

The piston-rods are provided with cogged segments H H, which play into the cogs of the wheel G, creating' a rotary motion. This motion is created by the power at the pulley-wheel or crank M, which drives the cog-wheel N and works into the elliptic L. This elliptic is arranged with an eccentric, L to carry the driving-wheel to the proper gear.

0 represents the wrist ofthe elliptic and attachment ofthe extension of the piston-rod 4. Erepresentsaplatform. JJ arefriction-wheels.

Operation: When the pump is set in motion the little drivin g-wheel N moves between the eccentric L and the cogs of the elliptic L, forcing the elliptic to a motion which raises or lowers the piston-rods 4, the cogs of which work into the cog-wheel Gr, creating a reverse motion on the other piston-rod, so that when one piston-rod moves upward the other moves downward. The pistons will, when raised, permit the water to force itself into the pumpingapartments, and from there it will be forced into the air or exhausting chamber by the lowering of the pistons. In this way I create a continuous iiow of water.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The tubular valve-seats 6 6, the spindle gum valves 7 7, the self-adjusting leverage 13, with valves 15 15, the self-adjusting gum piston composed of 1, 2, and 3, andthe elliptic L,with the eccentric L', all arranged and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
