Improvements in Pillar Pumps or other Pumps of similar
Character.
THOMAS FISK, Anchor Hotel, Princes Street, Ipswich, Suffolk, Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
(1) Two or more Pumps are connected to the hand draw lover, by suitable
connections, in the form of levers and radius rods or cams.
(2) In the case of the arrangements of levers and radius rods, the hand draw lever
will be constructed with a double bell crank, so as to be attached to two or more
pumps. It will be readily understood that by the action of this double bell crank, one
or more pumps would be delivering, and the others filling at the same time, with the
liquid operated upon, and so causing a continuous delivery stream from one or more
taps for the purpose. The whole of the said pumps are so connected that they have a
combined delivery.
(3) In the case of the cam arrangement being used, a cam or cams, provided with
spiral grooves, would be connected to the axis of the hand draw lever or levers, the
said spiral grooves to be connected to, and acting upon, the plunger rods of the
pumps.
(4) These levers or cams are so arranged that any of the said pumps can be
disconnected, so that the Pumps could be used separately, if desired.
(5) When necessary or desirable, a reservoir will be provided for all the pumps to
deliver into, and a suitable tap or taps fitted to the said reservoir, for drawing off the
liquid as desired.

page_text: THOMAS FISK Anchor Hotel, Princes Street, Ipswich, Suffolk, 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:
(1) Referring to the Drawing accompanying this specification
Two or more Pumps Fig. 1. and Fig. 2. are connected to the hand draw lever a a
by suitable connections in the form of levers and radius rods 6 6 or cams c c.
(2) In the case of the arrangements of levers and radius rods b b the hand draw
lever a a will be constructed with a double bell crank d so as to be attached to two or
more pumps, it will be readily understood that by the action of this double bell
crank done or more pumps would be delivering and the others filling at the same
time with the liquid operated upon and so causing a continuous delivery stream from
one or more taps E for the purpose. The whole of the said pumps are so connected
that they have a combined delivery F. F. F.
(3) In the case of the cam arrangement Figs. 4. being used a cam or cams c c
provided with spiral grooves gg would be connected to the axis of the hand draw
lever a or levers the said spiral grooves g g to be connected to and acting upon the
plunger rods J.J of the pumps.
(4) These levers bb and d d or cams c c are so arranged that any of the said
pumps can be disconnected so that the pumps Fig. 1. and Fig. 2. could be used
. separately if desired.
(5) When necessary or desirable a reservoir K. Figs. 5. will be provided for.all
the pumps to deliver into, and a suitable tap L L L or taps fitted to the said reservoir K
for drawing off the liquid as desired.
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) The manufacture and use of pillar pumps or other pumps of similar character
worked by a double bell crank actuated by a single hand draw lever, the said pumps
have a delivery or discharge tap or taps common to all of them substantially as and
for the purpose hereinbefore described.
(2) Pillar Pumps or other Pumps of similar character worked by a cam or cams
provided with spiral grooves and connected to the axis of a single hand draw lever,
1.

page_text: said cams with spiral grooves are connected to the plunger rods of said pumps and
actuated by said single hand draw lever, said pumps have a delivery or discharge tap
or taps common to all of them substantially as and for the purpose as herein before
described.
(3) When necessary or desirable for rapid drawing of liquids a reservoir is provided
for all the pumps to deliver into and a suitable tap or taps fitted to said reservoir for
drawing off the liquid as desired, said reservoir do not necessarily form part of this
invention further than being applied to said pumps of this invention substantially as
and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
