PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 684,398, dated October 15, 1901.

Application filed January 4, 1901. Serial No. 42,114. (No model.)

T @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN E. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Jamestown, in the county of Stutsman and State of North Dakota, have invented a new and useful Pump, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to pumps; and it has for its object to provide a construction wherein the casing of the pump will afford a means for circulation of air, so that the well in which the pump is placed may be ventilated, although the top of the well is closed a further object of the invention being to provide a construction that will permit of attachment of diiferent styles of suction-pipes interchangeably to suit various conditions, further objects and advantages of the invention being evident from the following description.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a vertical section taken through the pump and showing it applied to a well and equipped with a removable pipehead having an iron suction-pipe engaged therewith. Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing the lower end of the extension of the cylinder of the pump and with a wooden pump or suction tube engaged therewith. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 and showing a suction-pipe connected with the cylinder extension and including ilanged sections. Fig. 4 is a vertical section showing a modication. Fig. 5 is a sectional detail of the upper end of the pump shown in Fig. 4.

Referring now to Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of the drawings, the present pump comprises a barrel 5 of cylindrical form and at the lower end of which is an outwardly-directed liange 6, upon which rests the outWardly-anged lower end of a casing 7 and to which said casing is bolted, as shown. The casing is separated from the barrel 5 by a continuous interspace, and the upper end thereof is closed by a cap S. A discharge-spout 9 is passed inwardly through a side of the casing and'communicates with the barrel at the proper elevation, and preferably at the opposite side of the casing there is disposed a water-outlet pipe 10, which connects with the barrel near its lower end to permit of drainage of water from the barrel to prevent freezing. This outletpipe has a valve 11, from which extends an operating-rod 12, the upper end of which is journaled in a bracket 13 on the side of the pump-casing and has a terminal operatinghandle, as shown. In placing the pump in a well the casing projects both below and above the cover 14, the discharge-spout and the valve-operating handle lying above the cover, as shown. Openings 15 are formed through the casing j ust above the bottom flange thereof, and a second series of openings 16 are formed in the casing just below the cover, while a'third series of openings 17 are formed in the-casing adjacent to the upper end there- Cf. flange 1S, which incloses the upper end of the casing and is removable therefrom, and this 'iange is notched, so as to expose the openings 17. These several series of openings permit of a circulation of air through the casing between it and the barrel and from one side to the other of the well-cover, thus insuring proper ventilation of the well. A cylindrical extension 20 is provided for the barrel and has a diameter equal to that of the barrel, and at the upper end of this extension is a ange 21, which is bolted against Vthe under side of the flange 6 to hold the pump-barrel and its extension in axial alinement. The extension 2O has an inwardly-directed shoulder 22 adjacent to its lower end and upon which rests a disk 23, having a central opening from which rises a cylindrical valve-seat 24A-,that portion of which that receives the valve 25 lying in a plane above the disk. The valve 25 mentioned is a common form of upwardly-opening puppetvalve. In the extension 20 and above the disk 23 is a plunger or piston 26, to which is connected the piston-rod 27, extending upwardly through the pump-barrel and connected at its upper end to the inner end of the handle or lever 28 of the pump, which handle is pivoted in bearings upon the casing. The piston has perforations therein, over which is disposed an upwardly-opening iiapvalve 29, although it will of course be understood that a different specific style of valve The cap of the casing has a depending IOS may be used. The cylindrical extension 20 is adapted to receive interchangeably several different styles of suction-pipes, and in Fig. 1 there is shown a common form of iron suction-pipe 30. This pipe 30 is screwed into a head 3l, at the upper end of which is an outwardly-directed iiange 32, disposed against the under side of a flange 33 at the lower end of the extension 2O and against which it is bolted to permit of ready removal. When it is desired to use a suction-pipe such as is shown in Fig. 3 and consisting of sections 34, having radiating flanges at their ends, such sections are connected by bolting the iiange of one against the flange of the next and then bolting the flange of the uppermost section against the flange 2l, as illustrated.

To permit of substitution of the common form of wooden suction-pipe made up of wooden tubes having one end tapered and the opposite end provided with a corresponding socket, the lower end of the extension 2O has its bore tapered inwardly from the rim of the extension to the shoulder 22, this taper corresponding to the taper given the ends of the tubes. A suitable number of the wooden sections are connected in the usual manner, and the tapered end of the series of connected sections is engaged in this lower end of the pump-barrel, it being understood, of course, that these dierent suction-tubes are for interchangeable attachment. With this construction it will be seen that there is provided a construction which insures an efcient ventilation, in which freezing will be prevented, and which permits of attachment of different styles of suction-pipes.

In practice modifications of the vspecific construction shown may be made and any suitable materials and proportions may be used for the various parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings there is shown a different specific embodiment of the invention, wherein the casing 40- has an inwardly-directed flange 4l at its lower end which sustains a concentric tubular extension 42, extending above and below the iange, said extension having a lower flange 43, adapted for attachment of a head 3l or the extension 34, hereinbefore referred to. The extension 43 has shoulders 44 corresponding to the shoulders 22, upon which is disposed a valve-carrying disk 45. The barrel 47 in this construction is tubular and is fitted over the upper end of the extension 42 and has a flange 48 at its lower end, which is seated upon a gasket 49 upon the iange 4l. To hold the barrel rmly seated on this gasket in such manner as to prevent leakage, ears 50 are formed on the inner surface of the casing and corresponding ears 5l are formed upon the outer face of the barrel, at the upper end thereof, these ears alining in pairs and having perforations therethrough with which are engaged bolts 52, which when screwed up draw the barrel downwardly into the casing. A piston 53 is disposed in the barrel and has a rod'54, with which is connected the usual handle 55. The drain-cock 56 in the present instance has its valve-casing disposed between the pump barrel and casing, the discharge-spout being passed outwardly through the pump-casing, and the operatingrod 57 is taken upwardly between the pumpbarrel and its casin g and outwardly through the top of the casing, where it is provided with an operating-han dle 58. The dischargespout 60 for the pump is passed inwardly through the casing and screwed into the barrel, and it will be seen that by removing this spout and the drain-spout the barrel may be readily lifted from the casing after the top 6l has been removed and the holding-bolts have been detached. Thus when desired the pump may be readily disassembled for repairing or for other purposes.
