1, MARK WILLIAM HOUSEHOLD of Budge Row, London in the County of Middlesex,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention consists of the improvement or improvements herein-after described,
in means or apparatus for the raising of water and other liquids, whereby the said
means or apparatus, are greatly simplified in their construction, and when in use, are
far more efficient than those now commonly used.
I will describe my invention in connection with an apparatus for the raising
of water.
The apparatus consists essentially of four primary parts; viz. -a body part
with delivery nozzle, a delivery pipe, a suction pipe, and a steam nozzle or inlet.
The said body part is hollow, and has inlet and outlet orifices, through which
former, the liquid to be raised, enters, and through the latter, the said liquid is
discharged, after having been operated upon, or brought under the direct influence of
steam, which enters through a steam nozzle, disposed in a direct axial line with the
delivery nozzle as aforesaid.
The delivery nozzle part of the body consists of a long passage of uniform bore,
disposed between the upper and lower ends of the said body part, and with the
top part evolving or spreading out into a bore of greater diameter, as of about
four to one.
To this top, and enlarged end, a delivery pipe of the same internal diameter, or of
about the same diameter, and directed in the same axial line as the bore of the
delivery nozzle, is bolted.
The lower part of the said body consists of a foot or extended flange, and a suction
inlet, which latter is of the internal diameter of the delivery pipe, and which said
inlet is disposed at right angles to that of the delivery nozzle, which forms the middle
to the body of the apparatus.
The junction of the delivery nozzle with the said suction inlet, is shaped and
swelled into an annular chamber, which surrounds or partially surrounds the conical

page_text: upper part of the steam nozzle, which is directed vertically through the said extended
flange, and in an axial line with the body of the apparatus.
Thus, the junction of the said delivery nozzle, with the chamber and suction inlet,
forms a graduated or taper entrance, at or against which, steam from the nozzle as
aforesaid, strikes,, when the apparatus is in use. This nozzle tapers upwardly, and
with the extreme upper end removed only at a short or given distance from the said
striking part.
To the flanged outer end of the suction inlet of the body of the apparatus, a suction
pipe is bolted, while the steam nozzle which fits within the middle of the extended
flange or foot part of the body, is provided with a flange at its lower end, which
drops into a like recess in the lower part of the flange or foot.
As the result of careful experiment, I have found that the efficiency of the
apparatus is greatly dependent upon the relative proportioning of certain parts,
particularly the length and size of the delivery nozzle.
The clearance formed by the expanding outwardly of its top end at the junction of
the delivery pipe, the striking part at the junction of the lower part of the parallel
nozzle with the chamber, and also the distance between the outlet of the steam nozzle
with respect to the said striking part as aforesaid.
On steam passing through the steam nozzle, a vacuum is thereby created in the
chamber, and at the striking point as aforesaid, and in consequence of which said
vacuum, liquid is drawn into the apparatus through the suction pipe, and elevated or
raised to the required height, with a velocity bearing with the pressure of the
actuating fluid.
I wish it to be observed, that by my apparatus, water can be raised by means of
steam at low pressure.
The steam nozzle instead of being taper, may be made with parallel sides.
Instead of employing steam as the actuating fluid, I may use compressed air.

I, MARK WILLIAM HOUSEHOLD, of Budge Row, London in the County of Middlesex,
Engineer, 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 of the improvement or improvements herein after described,
in means or apparatus for the raising of water and other liquids, whereby the said
means or apparatus, are greatly simplified in their construction, and when in use, are
far more efficient than those now commonly used.
I will describe my invention, in connection with an apparatus for the raising
of water.
The apparatus consists essentially of four primary parts, viz. :-a body part with
delivery nozzle, a delivery pipe, a suction pipe, and a steam nozzle or inlet.
The said body part is holllow, and has inlet and outlet orifices, through which
former, the liquid to be raised, enters, and through the latter, the said liquid is
discharged, after having been operated upon, or brought under the direct influence of
steam, which enters through a steam nozzle, disposed in a direct axial line, with the
delivery nozzle as aforesaid.
The delivery nozzle part of the body, consists of a long passage of uniform bore,
disposed between the upper and lower ends of the said body part, and with the top
part evolving or spreading out into a bore of greater diameter, as of about four to one.
To this top and enlarged end, a delivery pipe of the same internal diameter, or
of about the same diameter, and directed in the same axial line as the bore of the
delivery nozzle, is bolted.
The lower part of the said body, consists of a foot or extended flange, and a suction
inlet, which latter is of the internal diameter of the delivery pipe, and which said
inlet is disposed at right angles to that of the delivery nozzle, which forms the middle
to the body of the apparatus.
The junction of the delivery nozzle with the said suction inlet, is shaped and
swelled into an annular chamber, which surrounds or partially surrounds the conical
upper part of the steam nozzle, which is directed vertically through the said extended
flange, and in an axial line with the body of the apparatus.
Thus, the junction of the said delivery nozzle, with the chamber and suction inlet,
forms a graduated or taper entrance, at or against which, steam from the nozzle as
aforesaid, strikes, when the apparatus is in use. This nozzlo tapers upwardly, and
with the extreme upper end removed only at a short or given distance from the said
striking part.

page_text: To the flanged outer end of the suction inlet of the body of the apparatus, a suction
pipe is bolted, while the steam nozzle which fits within the middle of the extended
Alange or foot part of the body, is provided with a flange at its lower end, which
drops into a like recess in the lower part of the flange or foot.
As the result of careful experiment, I have found that the efficiency of the
apparatus, is greatly dependent upon the relative proportioning of certain parts,
particularly the length and size of the delivery nozzle.
The clearance formed by the expanding outwardly of its top end at the junction of
the delivery pipe, the striking part at the junction of the delivery pipe, the striking
part at the junction of the lower part of the parallel nozzle with the chamber, and
also the distance between the outlet of the steam nozzle, with respect to the said
striking part as aforesaid.
On steam passing through the steam nozzle, a vacuum is thereby created in the
chamber, and at the striking point as aforesaid, and in consequence of which said
vacuum, liquid is drawn into the apparatus through the suction pipe, and elevated or
raised to the required height, with a velocity bearing with the pressure of the
actuating fluid.
I wish it to be observed, that by my apparatus, water can be raised by means of
steam at low pressure.
The steam nozzle instead of being taper, may be made with parallel sides.
Instead of employing steam as the actuating fluid, I may use compressed air.
This invention is an improvement upon an application for Letters Patent, made
by William Johnson dated the 8th day of December 1886 and numbered 16051.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawing, the
manner in which the same is to be performed.
Figure 1 represents in side elevation, and figure 2 in vertical section, an apparatus
or instrument, for the raising of water and other liquids. Figure 3 is a side elevation
of the removable nozzle part, and figure 4 a longitudinal vertical section of the same,
while figure 5 is an inverted plan of the said nozzle.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
a is the body part of the instrument, having inlet or outlet passages or orifices b, c,
through the former of which, liquid to be raised, enters, and through the latter, it is
discharged or elevated, after having been brought under the direct influence of steam,
which enters through the steam nozzle d, which is disposed in a direct axial line, with
the delivery nozzle a² of the body a; this nozzle is parallel from the clearance or
internal swelle, to near the top of the instrument, where it evolves or enlarges into a
clearance, of a diameter equal, or about equal to the delivery pipe; and it will be seen
that the said clearance c, is of a larger diameter than the suction inlet b.
The inlet and outlet passages are provided with flanges 63, c², to which the suction
and delivery pipes are bolted respectively.
Thus, the delivery nozzle consists of a long passage a² of uniform bore, widened
out at its upper part c into a delivery clearance, and at its lower part, into an annular
chamber, swell or primary clearance e. This said primary clearance, surrounds the
upper part of the detachable steam nozzle d, and comes in front of the suction
passage b, which is in a direction at right angles to the axis of the instrument.
The passage of the steam nozzle tapers upwardly, and with the extreme upper
contracted end d³, coming within a given distance of the striking part e², which is the
junction of the delivery nozzle, with the annular clearance as aforesaid.
and
The lower end of the steam nozzle, fits and seats itself within a central hole or
passage f, extending upwardly through an extended flanged or foot part f, to which
the steam pipe is bolted.
On steam entering the steam nozzle d, and passing into the chamber e, surrounding
its upper part or nose end, a vacuum is thereby created, and in consequence of which,
liquid is drawn into the instrument or apparatus, through the suction inlet b, and
raised or elevated, through the delivery nozzle a³, clearance c, and then through the
delivery pipe, to the height and point required.

page_text: 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 :—
First. The combination with an apparatus, for the raising of liquids, of a parallel
delivery nozzle a³, with a clearance c at its outlet, or exit end, substantially as and for
