dinard gisten CHRISTIAN HENRY lKOCK, OF DAVENPORT, IOIVA.
Letters Patent No. 9l,943,'dated June 29, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-ELEVATORS.
The Schedule referred to Vin the-se Letters Patent and making part of the same.
ATo all whom it may concern Be' it known that I, CHRISTIAN HENRY K001i, of Davenport, in the county of Scott, and State of Iowa,
have inyented a new and improved Method of Raising NVater; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, 'reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
Ihis invention relates to a new arrangement for el-A evating water from wells and cisterns; and consists in confining a number of spiral springs in a suitable cylinder, and compressing them by a windlass, by which compression (in combination with a piston) a vacuum is formed, and water admitted, while, by the recoil of the springs, the water is forced ti'om the cylinder, through a pipe 01 pipes, to any point where it may be required for use.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings- Figure l represents a sectional elevation of Vmy arrangement.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is a cylinder, of any desired length and diameter, placed in an upright position, as seen in the drawing. B represents spiral springs (more or less in number) separated by loose disks, C.
D is a piston, which works water-tight in the cylinv4der A.
E is a ball-valve, which closes when the piston descends, the seat being at F, and g being the basket by which the ball is supported.
His the metallic ribbon by which the raised and the springs compressed.
The ribbon is attached to the piston, and to a windlass, I, around the drum of which itis wound by means ofthe gear-wheels J and crank K, as seen in the drawings. 1
its the piston is raised, a vacuum is formedin the cylinder A, and the water-rushes up through the supply-pipe L, to fill it. l
Ihe water which passes into the cylinder from thc pipe L, reaches the space beneath 'the piston, and fills the cylinder.
M is a ball-valve at Athe lower end of the 4pipe L. This valve'eloses thepipe when the flow of water through it ceases.
piston is The valve E will always be closed when the piston vis pressed upon the water beneath, or except when being raised.
N is the discharge-pipe.
For the perfect working of the machine, it is necessary that t-he cylinder be full on the start, and to insure this, there is a pipe, 0, on top of the cylinder,
through which water may be introduced.
The water may be discharged from the spout p, or be conveyed off laterally, to any desired point, or be discharged ata m'ore elevated point, as may be desired` It will be seen that the distance to which the watel may be elevated will depend upon'the power of the sp1-.ings B.
The cylinder maybe made to contain a large quantity of water, so that by spending a few moments in raising the piston, the water will continue to flow for a whole day, as itV may be required for family use.
A hose-pipe may he attached to the spout p, and the water, under the powerful head thus obtained, may be discharged for the extinguishment of lires.
The machine may also be used to good advantage in elevating water at railroad stations, and for various other purposes.
'Ihe metallic ribbon H is tightly packed at the top' of the cylinder, between twoelastic rollers, as seen at g, so that air may not enter thc cylinder.
The springs B are formed so that they fold together,
and take up but slight space in the cylinder when compressed. Ille disks C move up and down with the springs.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the cylinderlA, spiral springs B, separated by the loose disks C, the piston D, ballvalve. E, and its seat F, the metallic ribbon H, the windlass, the supply-pipe L, having the ball-valve m, andthe discharge-pipe N, all arranged and operating as described, for the purpose specilied.
The above specilication of myinvention signed by me, this 25th day ot' January, 1369Y CHRISTIAN HENRY KOCK.
