PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Transportable and Adjustable Lever Pump.
I, WITOLD KLECZENSKI of Kowno in the Empire of Russia, Merchant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to transportable lever pumps and has for its purpose to
provide a device serving to allow the pump to be easily and expeditiously changed
from the more or less horizontal position which it occupies during the transport,
into a vertical position so as to rest its base plate on the ground with a view to
afford it a firmer support during working than could be given by the carriage alone.
The pump is revolvably lodged by means of two horizontal pivots projecting
from its sides on two strong horizontal frames of wood or other suitable material
rigidly connected by iron bars and secured to the axle of the carriage, while the
middle part of the axle and one or both of the connecting iron bars are bent down-
ward so as to allow the pump to be swung into a horizontal position in which it can
be secured by means of a movable iron bar fitting into a groove provided at the
bottom of the pump and adapted to be fixed in position, or by any other suitable
means.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Transportable and Adjustable Lever Pump.
I, WITOLD KLECZENSKI of Kowno in the Empire of Russia, Merchant, 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 :-
The object of this invention is a transportable and adjustable lever pump which
can be commodiously and expeditiously changed from the horizontal into the vertical
position.
Referring to the accompanying drawing
Figs. 1 and 2 are side views
Fig. 3 is a front view, and section along line M M Fig. 4, and
Fig. 4 a top view of the improved lever pump, which is constructed as follows:
Two strong wooden frames and, which are rigidly connected by powerful
wrought iron intermediate pieces B and B', are secured on the axle of the carriage.
Between the said frames the pump P is revolubly arranged by means of wrought
iron pivots which are screwed on pin-shaped projections of the pump Figs. 1
and 3. During transport the pump occupies a horizontal position. At the rear
part a downward movement of the horizontally placed pump is prevented by the
intermediate piece or stay B Fig. 1, while in front the horizontal position of the
pump may be ensured in the following two ways:
a). A semi-circular groove is provided at the bottom of the pump into which
groove fits as a spring a strong bolt S Figs. 1 and 3 the position of which is
determined by eyes o o sunk into the fork of the carriage, while it is protected
from sliding out of the said eyes by the fore-lock piece s Fig. 3.
6). The pump is secured in its horizontal position also without the said groove
provided the two eyes o and o³ are so placed that when the pump occupies a

page_text: horizontal position, the bolt S passed through the eyes just touches the bottom of
the pump.
For a downward movement of the pump could only ensue if the bolt
were bent out in front.
To allow the pump to be placed into the horizontal position the wrought iron
intermediate piece B and also the axle a Fig. 3 must be bulged out downwardly in
the middle.
At the place where the pump is to be used the frame is lifted a little as indicated
by an arrow in Figs. 1 and 2 and the bolt or trunnion S is drawn out. Subsequently
the pump P is placed into the vertical position by being turned upward by aid of
the levers and then the frame is lowered again. The whole vehicle is now
in a stable position because the centre of pivot does not coincide with the
direction a a a of the axle.
In a corresponding manner the pump is secured for
position as mentioned under a and b.
Each of the seats has three supports, the rear one
bears on the beams 6 and b¹ or r respectively.
Between the two frames are provided boxes &
requisites..

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A transportable or wheeled lever pump, which is so lodged by means of a pivot
or trunnion in a carriage frame that the lower part of the pump, when the latter
is set up into the vertical position for being operated, rests on the ground and
supports the carriage frame, substantially as illustrated and described.
