hereby declare the nature, of this invention to be as follows:-
The improved, pump constituting this invention is designed mainly for use in

The pump comprises a cylindrical casing fitted with a pistón or bucket and a
piston rod, passing through a stuffing box and provided with a handle by means of
which it is actuated. In the upper end or double cased cover of the cylinder
opening to a discharge, pire provided with a valve opening outwards the discharge
pipe being branched in Y form one branch leading to and being connected to the
lower or suction end of the cylinder whilst the other is provided with a nozzle
suitable for use in washing out the
the stomach of a patient, for application the
wind pipe for inducing artificial respiration. In the branch opening to t
end of the cylinder, is ª¡ valve opening inwards so that in the operation of the mi
the reciprocation of the piston forces fresh water or air as may be desired to wash
out the stomach or to induce respiration of the lungs as the case may be, from the
into the lower end from
upper end of the cylinder and draws the foul air or water
which it is discharged through an outlet in the lower side by the downward move-
ment of the piston. An admission orifice and connecting pipe provided with a
inwardly opening valve is formed in the upper end of the cylinder through which
in this
the fresh water or air required in treating a patient is admitted. "The pipe
orifice is passed through a stuffing box in which it is adapted to slide. In the pipe

the stuffing box communication with the outer air is cut off and on the
upward stroke of the piston the air is discharged through the outlet having the
branch pipes. When used, for air the end of the inlet pipe is closed by a cap but
when used for water the cap is removed and a water pipe coupled to it, the air
inlets in the latter case being closed by the stuffing box.
A slide or other valve is fitted over the discharge orifice in the lower or
suction side of the cylinder, the valve being adapted to be closed during the
upward movement of the piston, when the foul air or water is drawn into the
cylinder, and to be opened for the discharge on the downward movement of
the piston.

We, ANDREW TAYLOR, Master Mariner, and WILLIAM SOMMERVILLE
TAYLOR, Engineer, both of 261 Dumbarton Road, in the City of Glasgow, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the saine is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The improved pump constituting this invention is designed mainly for use in
restoring animation in the case of persous apparently drowned or asphixiated, and
as a stomach pump, but it is also otherwise applicable.
As illustrated by the accompanying drawings Fig.
of which is a horizontal
section and Fig. 2 a plan, the pump comprises a cylindrical casing A fitted with a
piston or bucket B and a piston rod C passing through a stuffing box D and
provided with a handle E by means of which it is actuated. In the upper end of
the cylinder, which is provided with a double cased cover or is constructed as
shewn for a purpose hereinafter particularly described, is an opening F through
which a discharge pipe G enters to the interior of the cylinder A sail discharge
pipe G being provided with a valve H opening outwards. The discharge pipe is
branched in Y form one branch I leading to and being connected to the lower or
suction end of the cylinder A whilst the other J is provided with a nozzle suitable
for washing out the stomach of a patient or for application to the wind pipe for
inducing artificial respiration. In the branch pipe I opening to the lower end of
the cylinder A is a valve K opening inwards so that in the operation of the pump
the reciprocation of the piston B forces fresh water or air as may be desired to
wash out the stomach or to induce respiration of the lungs as the case may be,
from the upper end of the cylinder A and draws the foul air or water through the
pipe I into the lower end from which it is discharged through an outlet L in the
lower side by the downward movement of the piston B. An admission orifice M
and connecting pipe N provided with an inwardly opening valve O is formed in
the upper end of the cylinder A through which the fresh water or air required in
treating a patient is admitted. The pipe N in this orifice is passed through a
stuffing box P in which it is adapted to slide. In the pipe N air inlets are
formed through which air is drawn into the cylinder A on the down stroke of the
piston, (the position of the pipe N being as in Fig. 2) but on pushing the pipe
inwards to the position shewn in Fig. 1 so as to enclose the air inlets Q within the
stuffing box P communication with the outer air is cut off and on the upward stroke
of the piston the air is discharged through the outlet G having the branch
pipes I, J. When used for air the admission orifice M of the inlet pipe N'is
closed by a cap R but when used for water the cap R is removed and a water pipe
coupled to it, the air inlets Q in the latter case being closed by the stuffing box.
The pipe N is connected by a strap T to the discharge pipe G which slides in
conjunction with the pipe Ñ and uncovers its orifice 9 to communication with
the interior of the cylinder A as the pipe N enters the stuffing box P as at
Fig. 1 or enters its stuffing box G' as the pipe N opens its air inlet to the
atmosphere.
A slide or other valve S is fitted over the discharge orifice L in the lower or
suction side of the cylinder, the valve S being adapted to be closed during the
upward movement of the piston B when the foul air or water is drawn into the
cylinder A and to be opened as shewn by the drawings for the discharge on
the downward movement of the piston B.

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The combination of parts constituting the improved pump constructed and
arranged to operate substantially as described.
