I MATHEW Moss of Withington near Chelford in the County of Chester,
Wheelwright do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention, is the construction of a more useful pump, and not
liable to freeze.
In carrying out my invention, I construct a pump in such a manner so as to
leave an air space between the working barrell and outer case extending upwards,
as far as the spout, and downwards a distance sufficient to be unafected by frost.
An improved clack and bucket, such bucket being worked by a rod and handle.
A small outlet pipe on top side of spout, to which may be attached a hose pipe,
through which the water would pass, when the outlet end of spout was covered by
a valve, this valve resting in an extension of the spout, when the pump was being
used for ordinary purposes.

I MATTHEW Moss of Withington near Chelford in the County of Chester
Wheelwright 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 the construction of a more useful pump and not
liable to freeze.
In carrying out my invention I construct a pump with an outer case in such a
manner as to leave an air space between the working barrel and such outer case
extending upwards as far as the spout and downwards a distance sufficient so as to
be unaffected by frost and provide a small outlet pipe on top side of spout to which
may be attached a hose pipe through which the liquid will pass when the outlet
of spout is covered by a ball this ball resting in an extension of the spout when the
pump is being used for ordinary purposes.
And in order that my said invention may be more readily understood and carried
into practical effect I have hereunto annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative of the
same which I will now proceed to describe.
The view I illustrate is a sectional elevation of my improved pump in which A is
the barrel and B the bucket and this barrel A I surround by an outer casing E so
forming an air space E'. C is a foot valve and D the suction pipe surrounded by
the outer casing F in such a manner as to leave an air space G. H is the rod
actuated by the handle I the upper end of such rod H I arrange to pass through
the nut J and lip ring K this lip ring K serving the purpose of a stuffing box. In
the head L of the pump I provide the spout M and at the front of the orifice N
in the spout M I form a chamber to receive the ball P which ball P is designed to

page_text: close the orifice N when desired over the orifice N I form a smaller opening
provided with a short piece of pipe to which may be secured a hose pipe when
desired the herein before mentioned suction pipe D and outer casing F may be
continued down any distance necessary so as to be unaffected by frost. The action
of this improved pump is as follows:-Upon the handle I being actuated the
liquid rises to the head L and overflows at the orifice N when it is desired to force
the liquid it is only necessary to place the ball P over the orifice N which can be
done instantaneously by the finger when the liquid will be forced through the
pipe the head L in this case forming an air chamber and it will be found that
the liquid may be forced to a considerable distance. It will be obvious that the
air spaces E and G may be filled with felt or other non-conductor if desired.
The bucket BI prefer to construct of dermatine which enables me to use a much
deeper bucket than has hitherto been practicable thereby the bucket- works in a
more efficient manner and lasts longer.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I wish it to be
understood that I do not confine myself to the precise details relative proportions
or dimensions of the various parts as the same may be considerably varied without
departing from my invention but what I claim is
Firstly. The construction of a pump provided with air spaces substantially as
herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
Secondly. The combination and arrangement of the outlet orifice N provided
with a ball P and the pipe Q substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated
on the accompanying drawing.
