MARTIN ROSE RUBLE, Mechanical Engineer, Newark, New Jersey, U.S.A., now
59 & 60, Wapping Wall, Shadwell, E., London, England, I do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In order, to carry out this invention, I use a fixed shell, of cylindrical shape
which shell is provided with one or more inlets, and outlets, inside this shell
mounted on a shaft, is another slitted or perforated cylinder, or short curved
pipes may be attached to this cylinder giving a number of openings between
the inside of the cylinder and the shell, the inner cylinder when revolving in
one direction produces, simultaneously the centrifugal, vacuum, and ejector,
forces, in the inner cylinder and if it is revolved in the opposite direction. a
vacuum and injecton are the result, the short pipes rotating on the cylinder act
as ejectors, and draw the water from the vacuum produced by the rotating of
the inner cylinder, they also prevent, the return of the water, when the cylinder
is rotating. The slots or perforations, are provided with a protector, which
prevents the return of the water, in a similar manner as the short curved pipes,
giving the same results.
The inner cylinder, may be formed of any shape such as, cylindrical, hemi-
spherical, conical, double conical, or any combination of these forms, or it may
be formed, of a series of plates, arranged, in the form of a geometrical, figure.
Two or more cylinders may be placed on the same shaft.

Improvements in Pumps for all Uses.
I, MARTIN ROSE RUBLE, of 6S, Dumont Road, Stoke Newington, in the County
of London, (late of 59, Wapping Wall, Shadwell, London), Mechanical Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
According to this invention I take the well known centrifugal, vacuum and
ejection forces and employ them simultaneously for the purpose of my improve-
ments in pumps.
And in order to carry out this invention I use a fixed shell
of cylindrical shape which is provided with one or more inlets and outlets: inside
this shell, mounted on a shaft is a slotted or perforated cylinder, or short curved
017

the inside of the cylinder and the shell; the inner cylinder, when revolving in
one direction produces simultaneously the centrifugal, vacuum and ejection forces,
in the inner cylinder, and if it is revolved in the opposite direction, a vacuum
and injection are the result. The short pipes rotating on the cylinder, act as
ejectors, and draw the water from the vacuum produced by the rotating of the
inner cylinder, they also prevent the return of the water when the cylinder is
rotating, the slits or perforations are provided with a protector which prevents
the return of the water in a similar manner to the short curved pipes giving the
same results.
The inner cylinder may be formed of any shape, such as cylindrical, hemi-
spherical, conical, double conical or any combination of these forms, or it may
be formed of a series of plates arranged in the form of a geometrical figure.
Two or more cylinders may be placed on the same shaft.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood I will now
proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawings accompanying this
specification in which Figs. 12 and 3 shew vertical sections of various forms
of pumps made according to this invention: Figs. 4, 5 and 6 shew details herein-
after referred to.
The same letters of reference denote the same parts in all the views.
In Fig. 1 the shaft or rod a is vertical, and the inlets b bare at the top. In
Fig. 2 the shaft a carries at its lower end an inner vessel c of suitable shape,
provided with outlets dat convenient distances apart. The outlets d may be
shaped in a variety of ways. A vertical cut may be made in the vessel c, and
the metal turned outwards to form a lip or the vessel could be cast with outlets
and lips of this form. Fig. 4 shews one of these lips in perspective, and a
section is shewn at Fig. 1. Instead of having outlets which extend the whole
depth of the vessel smaller outlets may be arranged as shewn at Fig. 5. The
inner vessel (Fig. 1) is keyed to shaft a. e is the outer case, upon the base of
which the shaft a rests. The inlet has a flange f which fits upon the top of
A ground joint is made at g, the place of contact of the inner vessel c
and the flange f. h shews one of the outlet pipes.
the case e.
With reference to Fig. 2 the inner vessel is in this case inverted, to allow
of the bottom inlet b. The outlets are at the top. in this view indicates
a ground joint.
In the horizontally arranged pumps shewn at Fig. 3, the inner vessel c is
divided into two parts by a partition and an inlet pipe b feeds each of the said
parts. The inlets of the inner vessel are in this case cast or otherwise formed
like short curved pipes. Fig. 6 shews in outline a transverse section of an inner
vessel with such outlets. The outlet pipes (Fig. 3) emerge from the outer case
in a curve which follows as nearly as possible the course of the flow which has
been imparted to the water.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. Constructing pumps in such a way that the centrifugal vacuum and ejection
forces are employed simultaneously.
2. Pumps constructed substantially as described and shewn on the accompanying
drawings.
