Letters Patent No. 109,9.72,.dated December 6, 1870.

IMPRovEMEnT iN Mops oFoRA'wING wATgR FROM WELLS;

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may conce-rn Be it' known that we,JosrAH TURNER and STE- PHEN WOODWARD, of Sunapee, in the Vcounty of Sulf livan and State of New Hampshire, have invented al new and` improved AMode of Drawing Water from Wells; andwe do hereby declare that the following is .a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of our invention consists iu attaching to an endless chinfconstructed of tlat and open links,

-. buckets of a peculiar shape, which draw the water from the well 'and empty. it over the shalt, instead of under, and in'dispensing entirely 'with rolls or pulleys in the well, round which chains for like purposes generally revolve.

To enable others skilled in the art to inake and use our invention, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation. l

We use a wheel, as shown in Figure 1, letter A, of the accompanying drawing. r

Said wheel A has cogs on its periphery that mesh I into the open links of the endless chain, thus obviating the slipping, which occurs in ordinary chainpumps. r

The buckets B are provided with tunneling or curving ears, so that the water discharges at the sides upon the discharge-table O, and out at the spout D, in Figure 4. ,cast-iron, o r it may be constructed of wood.

Figure 3 is a side view of the bucket with its curved The discharge-table may be made of is that all the water in the bucket, when it leavesthe surface vof the water in the well, reaches the top or place oi' delivery without leakage or loss, and thatnll regulating apparatus in the well for the chain to pass round is rendered unnecessary,` and, of course, all the friction and contamination of the water connected with such apparatus is done away with.

What we claim, then, as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-` The endless chahl .and buckets, flaring laterally,

each of which buckets has, at its open end, a transverse segmental spout, resembling a hood, when the bucket is upright, in combination with the dischargetable, substantially as herein set forth. 4
