Improvements in Apparatus for Lifting, Forcing, and Sucking
Water or other Fluids by Means of Water or other Fluids under
Pressure.
I, GAVIN RALSTON, Engineer, The Grove Walker Gate Newcastle-on-
Tyne, 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 :-
This invention consists in forcing water or other fluids by means of a steam pump,
hydraulic accumulator, hand pump or other pumping machinery capable of main-
taining pressure, and forcing the same through a set or sets of nozzles with or
without non return valves, as arranged on Sheets Nos. 1 & 2. The effect of this
water (or fluids) being pressed through the nozzles, lifts, forces and sucks the water
(or fluids) through and round the bells placed at point of nozzles, up through the
discharge pipes.
A A represents a circular nozzle inclined towards the centre of pipe.
B shews the part connected to the pump.
C the centre nozzle.
D circular bell, forming guards round circular nozzles A A. & C.

The pump R" sucks the water or other fluids from the tank "E" or other
place where the suction pipe may be led to, and takes the required quantity of
water in through the suction valves; this water is then forced through the circular
nozzles "AA" & "C" at the full pressure of the pump into the pipe "K." The
force of this water or fluids after being pressed through nozzles "AA" & "C"
causes a powerful suction in suction pipe "G." This water is sucked through
between the three pipes "H H H" connected to the nozzles, and round the circular
bells as illustrated on Sheet 2. The nozzles and bells on Sheet No. 1 being similar.
This water (or fluid) is then forced up the discharge pipe "K" by the pressure
from the nozzles "AA" & "C."
As shewn on Sheet I another pressure pipe "L" is taken from the discharge
chamber of the pump and connected to a set of pressure nozzles "X X X." This
pressure water (or fluid) being forced down pipe "L" and through the
nozzles "X X X" lifts the water (or fluid) from the tank M and forces it up
discharge pipe "V" under exactly similar conditions as already described with the
above nozzles "AA" & "C."
The pipe "L" nozzles "XXX" and discharge pipe "V" are shewn to illustrate
the work that one pump or one piece of machinery capable of maintaining a
pressure of water (or other fluid) can perform. By this system you can pump
simultaneously and discharge to different parts, as shewn by the nozzles "A A
& "C" being in action at the same time discharging up pipe “K” as nozzles “XXX”
and discharge pipe "V."
Sheet No. shews another way of connecting the nozzles to the bottom of the
discharge pipe "R."
The pump in this case draws its water (or fluid) from the discharge pipe "R"
through the suction pipe connection "W" and from the pump discharge presses it
down the pressure pipe "N" to the first nozzle "I." The force of this water or
fluid then lifts the water or fluid through the non return valve "J" and presses this
extra water or fluid on through nozzles "PP P." This pressed water or fluid then
forces the water (or fluid) from the tank "Z up discharge pipe "R under
exactly similar conditions as already described in the above with nozzles "AA"
& "C."
دو
"X" represents merely a bar to hold bell in position.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
-
The system of lifting, forcing and sucking water or other fluids by means of
water or other fluids forced from a pump, accumulator, hand pump or other pumping
machinery, through a pipe or pipes connected to a set or sets of nozzles with or
without non return valve and this forced water (or fluid) pressed through the
nozzles forces or sucks the water (or fluid) through the bells and discharges the
same through a discharge pipe or pipes.
Dated this 27th day of June 1893.
