STEAM AND AIR EJECTOR.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part; of Reissued Letters Patent No. 10,020, dated January 31, 1882.

Original No. 50,221, dutotl October 30, 1866. Application for reissue filed November .13, 1831.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SnnBlii'cL E. HEWES, formerly of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, but new of ilooposton, in the county of Vet-million and S ate of Illinois, have invented a new and useful or provement iu E ioctors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a. full, clear, and exact description. of the some, sullicient to cna ble one skilled in the art to which the invention appertains to make use of it, reference being had. to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which;-

Figurelisa central vertical section. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of one of the injectors or eiectors. Fig. 3 is an cnlarced view of that portion of the apparatus near the bottom of the well where the liquid enters theinner upcast pipe or inside tube. Fig. 4 is a transverse section on line a; as, Fig. 3.

This device consists in the arrangement and combination of cylinders and tubesto be operated by compressed air or steam, as hereinafter described, for the purpose of acting upon, moving, and forcing liquids from any reservoir thereof in any direction therefrom t'rom horizontal to perpendicular, and vice versa. The conic chambers containing the intcriial structure, hereinafter described, are attached to double tubing, one inclosiug the other, the compressed fluid passing in one direction through the space between the tubes and in the other direction within the inner tube. The

' conic chambers are made as shown by the accompanying drawings, and attached to the valve and to the tubing by socket or couplings. The shell is made in two parts to facilitate the means of making the most. perfect finish inside. In this shell are fitted two adjustable tubes, the outer one adjustable to theshell, the inneronc adjustable to the inside of the outer tube. These tubes are movable by means of the set'screws c c. The inner tube has four slits at the small end. The outer tube has four slots through it. The aforesaid forms, fittings, and manner of moviugsaid tubes are designed to secure the most. ready adjustment of the same to the internal surface of the shell and to the'prcssure and force exerted upon and within them by the action of the steam or compressed air. Thevelocity and pressure of the steam atthe outset; exhaust in therearofits movement, causing the atmospheric air to rush in at the valve, and the steam is forced along the space between the tubes into the enlarge.-

mcnt at. the end of the outside tube, and turned upward, and, passing the month of the wellpipc, raises the liquid through the inside tube. By the action of the ejector the liquidis forced out with great velocity. The combined action is compression at one end and exhaustion at the other, the actions being upon the stream at the same time and in the same direction, and this action is continuous, as is the application of the steam or compressed air.

. The construction and operationfiare asfollows:

The steam or compressed air enters with a constant pressure at the pipe A and passes to the chamber B, from whence it issues in annular g'cts intothe pipe 0, which leads to the downcast air or steam tube E ot'the well which surrounds the upcast, central tube, F, which conducts the liquid and -iluid to the surface. The agency in this elevation may be steam or compressed air, but I shall speak ofit as steam for convenience. The steam passes from the chamber B through the slots I) in the nozzle h, and then through the annular orifice d, between the nozzles h-and i, and into the pipe U. The nozzle it may be so far withdrawn as to leave an annular opening between it and the wall G of theclnnnber ll, so that the steam is injcctedin two annularconeentricicts around the stream of atmospheric air entering at; the valve E into the tube 1), and which is drawn in by the partial exhaustion caused in the rear of and within the jets ot' stealth:

The means for setting the nozzles 71 i relatively to cacti other and lo the conical mouth of the chamber It is att'orded by the set-screws 0 c, which pass through the walls G of the chamber 13. The inner nozzle, 1', is slit, so as to render it contractible or expansible, accordihg to the relative pressure of the steam which surrounds it or the liquid or fluid which passes through it. Thus the two annularjcts of steam and the central stream of air till the pipe 0, with steam and air in a compressed state, and

pass down the pipe E, around the pipe 1*, into the pipe F, as a' partial exhaustion is formed at the nozzle K by the-annular jet from the pipe'E', which surrounds the pipe E. The section of tuheL has a socket its upper end, which supports the lower end of 'thepipe F,'the latter being provided with a "collar which is seated in a conical enlargement forming a socket. From this the tube F maybe-lit'ted as required for examination and repairyand lowered again into position The section of'tube L has flanges 2, which rest noon thesocket J, so that the lower end of L does not touch the socket J, and passage is hlfi'erded for the steam, air, water, &c;, which loving passed down pipe E, are received n iwerdiy into pipe F. The pipe F, aiter reaching surface, is ,hent horizontally, and enters ejector apparatus similar to the injector first described. This ejector has a bed); of steam introduced at the pipe A tofthech'emher B", which issues by slots in the n'ozzle'h, in' an an nular jet between TL and the/internal elastic nozzle 2, into the dischergepipe Thesame 7 mode of adjustment by set-screwsc is aite 'deii for the nozzles in the ejector as is provided. in the injector. All these devices ct in eenjnnc tion and combination to produce the effect of the ejection of the liquid which rises in the induction-pipe K from the well. They may he described, in the order followed, as an injector, W, a projector, Y, and an ejector, F. The firs t, introduces by injection the compressed fluid. In the second the said fluid draws up the lieuid from the well and elevates itin the standv 'pipe; and the third device, the ejector, forcibly '2 mgoee hinetioii nozz'ie, echo 'ng and on inner nation, with chamber 2i i the pi, es L, and ti c flilhlllti said chamber 1, schematic ed for the porpoise epeeitied.
