I MATTHEW BEAUMONT of 66 Pond Street Sheffield in the County of York
Ironmonger &c. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To any of the usual forms of Pump-barrels I attach at the bottom a flat cover firmly
screwed on to said barrel, in the centre of which is placed a valve which acts as the
bottom valve of pump, underneath, and cast to, the aforesaid barrel bottom, is a
conical tube or socket, which being threaded or screwed outside, forms the method
of fixing pump on cask, by screwing into the end or bung-hole as required, the
aforesaid conical tube being also threaded or screwed inside, forms a method of adding
too, or fixing a tube consisting of two or more peices, to which I add a joint capable
of allowing one tube to slide within the other, at the same time preserving an airtight
joint, by which means the liquid is drawn from any required depth of Cask or Cistern.
Inside the aforesaid pump barrel, I place a piston, with valve in centre, with per-
pendicular rod attached, passing through a cover or lid with ordinary screw-down
stuffing box in centre, the said lid or cover being firmly screwed on top of barrel.
To the side of pump-barrel, I also attach an upright standard, firmly fastened at
bottom by a stud or screw, and at top by a delivery-pipe screwed through the standard
into barrel, and firmly held by a lock-nut, the delivery pipe being of an elevated
form, so as to admit of any ordinary sized measures being placed under. At the top
of the above-named standard is a joint or coupling, to receive lever for working the
pump, the lever being of perpendicular form and in a direct line with Standard when
secured in joint or coupling referred to above. The lever at the top of Standard
turning off at right angle from joint with curved end, fastened into a similar joint
or coupling on top of piston-rod, each joint being secured by a steel pin through both
standard and lever, as also top of piston rod, the curved end of lever being to secure
perpendicular motion of piston and rod. I also add a dish or tray of sufficient size
to hold all requisite measures, in the centre of which I place a hole with a short tube
underneath, the said dish or tray, having a rim all round of sufficient depih, and also
fluted or groved from sides to hole in centre, placed underneath the elevated
delivery pipe on top of Cask or Cistern, to carry back any overflow, and is a perfect
safeguard against all waste..

Improvements in Pumps for Petroleum and other Liquids.
I MATTHEW BEAUMONT of 66 Pond Street Sheffield in the County of York,
Ironmonger &c. 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:-
To any of the usual forms of Pump-barrels, I attach at the bottom a flat cover,
firmly screwed on to the said barrel-in the centre of which is placed a valve, which
forms the bottom valve of Pump. Underneath and cast to the aforesaid cover is a
conical socket or tube-which being threaded or screwed outside forms the method
of fixing Pump on Cask or Cistern by screwing into the end or top as required,
see A Fig. 1. The aforesaid conical tube being also threaded or screwed inside forms
a method of adding too, or fixing a tube, B Fig. 1 consisting of two, or more peices
to which I add a joint capable of allowing one tube to slide within the other, at the
same time securing an air-tight joint by which means the liquid is drawn from any
required depth of Cask or Cistern as CCFig. 1.
Inside the aforesaid Pump-barrel I place a Piston with valve in centre with
perpendicular rod attached-passing thro a cover or lid with ordinary screw-down
stuffing box in centre-the said lid or cover being firmly screwed on top of barrel.
To the side of Pump barrel I also attach an upright Standard, firmly fastened at
the bottom by a stud or screw, and at the top by a delivery pipe screwed thro the
Standard into barrel and firmly held by a lock-nut D D Fig. 1 the delivery pipe being
of an elevated form so as to admit of any size measure being used.
At the top of the above-named Standard is a joint or coupling to receive lever for
working the pump the lever being in a perpendicular form and in a direct line with
Standard when secured in joint or coupling referred to above.
The lever at the top of Standard turning off at right angle from joints with curved
end, fastened into a similar joint, or coupling on top of piston rod-each joint being
secured by a steel piu thro both Standard and lever as also top of piston rod.
The curved end of lever being so arranged as to secure perpendicular motion of
Piston and rod-E E E Fig. 1. I also add a dish or tray of sufficient size to hold all
requisite measures, in the bottom of which I place a hole with a short tube attached
underneath, the said dish or tray having a rim all round of sufficient depth, and also
Fluted or groved from sides to hole in bottom, see F Fig. 2. The said dish is placed
underneath the elevated delivery pipe on top of Cask or Cistern to carry back any
overflow, and is a perfect safeguard against all waste.
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-
1st. A Conical Socket or tube cast on to the bottom Pump forming the method of
fixing Pump on Cask or Cistern.

page_text: 2nd. The aforesaid Conical Tube, being threaded or screwed inside forms the method
of fixing a tube or suction pipe.
3d. The above named tube or Suction pipe having two or more peices with Joints
allowing one to slide within the other still securing airtight Joints, the top of which
is screwed inside the before-named conical tube forming a complete connection with
Pump.
4th. A perpendicular Standard and mode of securing the same.
5th. A lever fixed on top of Standard of particular form with Curved end, arranged
to give perpendicular motion to piston and rod.
6th. A dish or tray of the afore-described form and as shewn on top of cask.
