IMPROVEMENTS IN PUMPS
Year: 1885

page_text: I ARTHUR CHARLES HENDERSON of. 46, Southampton Buildings Holborn in the
county of Middlesex Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of the said
invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN PUMPS a communication to me from abroad by
Léon Baron of Viviers sur Rhone in the Republic of France, Brazier :-
The object of this invention is to raise water any desired height without
intermission.
The essential feature being the rotary motion given to the body of the pump,
which in rotating draws the piston shafts with it, these latter being secured in
slides, and guided in a fixed circular groove made in a fixed wood casing, imparts
to the pistons a vertical ascending and descending movement.
One or more cylindrical and concentric pistons are or may be employed or the
same pistons not being concentric working in the same or separate bodies.of the
pump may be used.
Inside the tubbing is a circular groove which vertically, is curved inversely, the
variations of the curves corresponding with the stroke of the piston or pistons as
the case may be.
The tubbing is pierced with holes for admitting the liquid and form valves to
the pump.
The lower part of the lid forms the upper portion of the groove, and is secured
by lugs. The body of the pump turns on a pivot, and inside this body two
cylindrical and concentric pistons move. Four vertical grooves diametrically
opposed to each other serve as slides to the piston shafts, which latter are furnished
at their ends with rollers, which enter the groove of the tubbing. One of these
shafts is bent in the centre like a crank, to leave free passage to the shaft of the
second piston.
A valve at the upper part prevents the return of the liquid. Ball valves are
supplied to each piston.
T
A tube lifts the liquid and transmits circular motion to the body of the pump
which draws the piston shafts with it, these held in the slides and guided by the
grooves in the wood casing impart a vertical ascending and descending motion to
the pistons as already described.

I ARTHUR CHARLES HENDERSON of 46 Southampton Buildings Holborn in the
county of Middlesex, Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of the said
invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN PUMPS (a communication to me from abroad
by Léon Baron of Viviers sur Rhone in the Republic of France, Brazier), and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to raise water any desired height without
intermission.
The essential feature being the rotary motion given to the body of the pump,
which in rotating draws the piston shafts with it, these latter being secured in
slides, and guided in a fixed circular groove made in a fixed wood casing, imparts
to the pistons a vertical ascending and descending movement.
One or more cylindrical and concentric pistons are or may be employed, or the
same pistons not concentric, working in the same or separate bodies of the pump,
may be used.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a vertical section of a pump embodying
my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same taken at the line E. F. of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a vertical elevation of the body of the pump.
Fig. 4 is the wood casing shown separate. The same letters of reference indicate
like parts shown in the different figures.
Inside the wood casing G, is a circular groove H, which vertically, is curved
inversely, the variation of the curve corresponding with the stroke of the piston
or pistons as the case may be.
The wood casing is pierced with holes I, for admitting the liquid and form valves
to the pump. The lower part of the lid K forms the upper portion of the groove,
and is secured by lugs L.
The body of the pump M, turns on a pivot J, and inside this body two cylindrical
and concentric pistons O. P.-move vertically.
Four vertical grooves N, diametrically opposed to each other, serve as slides to
the piston shafts Q. R. which latter are furnished at their ends with rollers S.
which enter the groove of the wood casing G.
One of these shafts Q, is bent in the centre like a crank, to leave free passage to
the shaft R, of the second piston.
A valve T, at the upper part, prevents the return of the liquid.
Ball valves V, are supplied to each piston. A tube U, lifts the liquid and
transmits circular motion to the body of the pump.
A circular motion communicated to the tube by any convenient means, draws
the piston shafts with it, these held in the slides N and guided by the groove in
the circular wood casing impart a vertical ascending and descending motion to the
pistons, as already described.
The pump may be constructed of any kind of suitable metal, or any durable
substance, such for example as iron, cast or otherwise, copper, steel, caoutchouc,
gutta percha and so forth.

page_text: 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,
The pump herein described pump for raising water any height without inter-
mission, the lifting tube U, receiving rotary motion by any suitable means, such
motion being transmitted to the body of the pump M, which in its movements
draws with it the shafts or rods Q. R. of the pistons O. P. and held by slides N,
and guided by a circular groove H, in the wood casing G, impart a vertical ascending
and descending motion to the pisonts in the manner by the means and for the
purposes herein before described.
