Application filed July l2. 1907. Serial No. 383.452.

T o all {wlwm it may concern.'

Be it known that l, Vieron li. PALM, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Butler, in the county of Butler and State of ?ennsylvania, have invented certain newand useful improvements in Uil-Well i)evices, of which the following is a speciiication, reference being conipanying drawing.

This invention relates to improvements in oil well devices,- and the invention has .for its primary object to dispense with .the ordinary sucker rods employed for operating a working barrel valve, and to provide novel means whereby the cableor continuous connection can be used for operating a working barrel valve. To' this end, iba-ve devised a novel stuiiing box adapted to be located above the working barrel oi an oil weil, the

had therein tothe acstuiling box being constructed whereby itl can be easily removed from a working barrel at4 any desired time or located in the well whereby it cannot be accidentally displaced.

The detail construction entering into my invention will be presently described and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

in the drawings, Figure i is an elevation oi my improved device., Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ol' the saine, Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line :r-sc oi" Fig.

V2, Fig. 4 is a similar view taken on the line -y-y of Fig. 2, Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the locking members, Fig. 6 is u verticai sectional View of a buiier or block used in connection with the device, Fig. 7 is a plan of the stand pipe of the device, and ii ig. s is a pian of a clamp used in connection with the stand pipe.

In the accompanying drawings, 1. designates the tubing or" a well in which is located e working barrel 2 having a lower standing valve 3 and a working barrei valve 4. Connecting with the upper end of the working barrel 2 is a cylindricalcasinc 5, retained within the tubing 1 of the weii by resilient arms 6 having their ends loosely mounted in coils 7 carried by the casing 5. The upper end of the casing 5 is threaded, as at 8 and provided with a taperin r seat 9.

Screwed upon the end of the casing 5 is an eXteriorly threaded housing 10 having circumferentially arrangedv segment shaped grooves 11 formed therein, these rooves receiving the depending pins 12 oi segmentshaped blocks 14, said blocks preventing a full rotation of the pipe 17 in either direction.

Screwed upon the housinup 1() is an exteriorly threaded cup 15 for ho ding the ilangcd end 16 of a stand pipe 17, said stand pipe hsving its lower end cut away, as at' 17, to clear the blocks 14 which extend inwardly and lock the lower tapering end 20 of a pipe 19 in the tapering scat of the casing 5. A gland 18 is threaded upon thelcup'l for holding packing (not shown) in' engagement with the stand ipe 17. The pipe 1.9 is connected by a b ook 20*1 with another section oi'pipe 2i, said block 20 having a rectangular opening 22 formed therein for aplunger 23, which is substantially rectangular in cross section, whereby said plunger cannot rotate in the block- 205. The upper end oi the plunger 23 is connected to a cable 24, which can be provided with a plurality of blocks 25a to prevent said cable from being cut or injured by the pipe 2l- The lower end ofthe plunger 23 carries a socket 25, by virtue of which said plungcriis connected to thc working barrel Avalve 4.

interposed between the lower cnd of the pipe 19 and the socket 25 is a coil spring 26, said spring being employed for retaining the Working barrel vulve 4 in aiowercd position.

The cable 24 is :ula )ted to be connected lo an ordinary walking l ployed for vertically reciprocating the working barrel valve/4 to raise oil in the casing 5 and the pipes 2() und i7, the oil passing through openings or pcrforations 27 formed in the pipe 1Q.

in operation, the spring 26 is adapted to lower the working barrel valve 4, while the Walking beam of an oil well device is adapted to raise the working barrel valve through the medium of the cable 2li. The casing 5 will be normally held within the tubing 1 of the working barrel by the resiiientarni 6, these arms, however, permitting of the working barrel and casing being removed by eileicnt pulling power from above the well. it will of course be understood that the stand pipe 17 extends to the top of the well, and to prevent said stand pipe from accidentally rotating, I use a clamp 30 which is secured to the upper end of the stand pipe, also ltoan object adjacent to the stand pipe, whereby said pipe and clamp cannot rotate. it is desired to remove the pipe 19, it is only necessary to partially rotate the plpe 17 and When l by virtue of the cut away end of said pipe move the blocks 14. The segment-shaped grooves l1 of the housing 10 move the blocks .I4 outwardly releasing the tapering shouldered end of the perforated pipe 19.

lt will be observed from the foregoing description, that I have devised novel means whereby an ordinary wire cable can be used for operating the working barrel valve of a working barrel, thus dispensing with the ordinary sucker rods, commonly used for this purpose.

Having fully described my invention, what claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with the tubing of an oil well, the working barrel thereof, and the working barrel valve, of a casing connecting with said working barrel and fixed within said tubing, a stuffing box carried by the upper end of said casing, a perforated pipe mounted in the upper end of said casing, a stand ipe surrounding said perforated pipe and heil'l by said stuffing box, a block carried by said pipe, a rectangular plunger movabl mounted in said block and connecting with said working barrell valve, a spring interposed between said perforated pipe and said working barrel valve, a cable connecting with the upper end of said plunger and blocks carried by said cable, substantially as described.

The combination with the tubing of an oil well, the working barrel thereof, and the working barrel valve, of a casing connecting with said working barrel and fixed within said tubing, a stuffing box carried by the upper end of said casing, .a perforated pipe mounted in the up er end of said casing, a stand pipe surroun ing said lperforated pipe and held by said stuffing box, a block carried by said pipe, a rectan ular plunger movabl mounted in said bloc and connectingwith said barrel valve, a spring interposed between said perforated ipe and said working barrel valve, and a cablb connecting with the upper end of said plunger, substantially as described.

3. In an oil device, the combination with a working barrel and avalve thereof, of a casing carried by the upper end of said working barrel, a stand pipe extending upwardly from said casing, a stuffing box for holding said stand pipe upon said casing, a perforated pipe arranged in the upper end of said casing and surrounded by said stand pipe, a

plunger operating in said perforated pipe and connecting with said valve, a spring interposed between said perforated ipe and said valve, a cable connecting with t e upper end of said plunger, means for preventing said plunger from rotating, and means for preventing said stand pipe from becoming disengaged from said casing, due to rotation.

4. In an oil well device, the combination with a working barrel and a valve thereof,

of a casing carried by said working barrel, a

with a working barrel and a valve thereof,

of a casing connecting with said barrel, a stand pipe connecting with the upper end of said casing, a perforated pipe located within said stand ipe, a plunger slidably mounted in said pe orated pi e and connecting with said valve, and a cablle connected tothe upper end of said plunger.

6. ln an oil well device, the combination with the working barrel, and the valve thereof, of a casing connectin withsaid barrel, a dperforated pi e detac ably mounted in sai casing, a punger o erating within said pipe and connecting wit said valve and means to lock said perforated pipe in said said casing.V

In testimony. whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
