UNITED STATES 1 181 PATENT 0 BROTHER COMPANY, OF ASHLANI OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO.

PUMP.

Application filed June 15, 1921. Serial No. 477,815.

To all whom itmay concem: Be it known that I, PHILIP A. MYERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at A'shland, in the county of Ashland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanyin drawing.

his invention relates w pumps, particularly to domestic pumps of the kind known as frost proof pumps, 'in which the cylinders, pistons and valves are located below the frost line, say usually about four feet beneath the surface of the ground.

This appl the subject-matter originally presented in my previous application,Ser. No. 352,319, filed Jany. 19, 1920, which has resulted in my Letters Patent No. 1,385,143, dated July 19, 1921. I

The general object of this present invention is to combine with 'a power head a detachable mounting head adapted to be connected with the power head and to sustain the drop pipes which extend below the frost line and to connect with a pump head by which the upper cylinder is carried. and to which the lowercylinder is connected by an extension pipe. This mounting head is easil attached to the power head and readlly detachable at times when it is desired to withdraw the the well.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. '1 is a side elevation of a power head and pump embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail side elevation of the power head and mounting headwithv the adjacent devices; and

Fig. 3 is a. front view of the mounting gether with the pump head.

In the drawings the pump is illustrated as set in a deep .wellindicated. at 1. On suitable character, power head comprised of a casing 3 contalnin' operating mechanism driven by a'belt pu ley 4. This mechanlsm includes a guide, preferably in the form of' a rod orshaft 5 and a slide or sleeve 6 to which" is connected 9. a wrist pin 8 carrie driven by a'pinion 10 connected to the pulley 4. As these parts do not form features ication is a division of part of pump structure from pipes and upper: cylinder, to-

MYERS, Ann I bolts 13 with'their nuts and the shoulder r 14, the head having a recess 16 which matches the shoulder. In this Way the mounting head is' readily attached to and detached from the casing, so that the same casing ma beused with; different forms of mounting eads, and so that this particular mounting head may be used with some other form of casing or'power head.

Of course, under some circumstances, it may be desirable to otherwise connect the mountin head to thecasing or power head than in t e manner shown. I Connected to the mounting pipes 17, one or both of which may constitute air chambers. To one of them a delivery pipe 18 is connected byan elbow 19 connected -with a coupling 20. This coupling sustains an air pump cylinder 21 whose piston rod 22 is actuated in the manner presently to appear.

Both of the drop pipes 17 are connected with a pump head 23 upon which is mounted the upper cylinder 24 of the pump and to which is attached the extension pipe 25 which extends down into thewell and carries the lower cylinder 26. A piston rod 27 passes through the cylinder 24 and into the cylinder26 .and carries in each cylinder the usual" or any approved piston or socalled bucket. Both piston rods are connected to the power mechanism, through an extension 28 projecting from the slide 26' and attached directly to the piston rod 27 and through a bracket 29 connecting the rod 22 to the rod 27. In this way both rods are actuated at the same time so that as water is pumped through the piston rod 27 and its pistons linders 24 and 26, air is pumped by the PIStOII' rod 22 and its piston and cylinder21. Both the water and air are delivered into the pipe 18 and then: stored in the tank 30 where'the pressure of the air, due to its expansion, operates todischarge head are drop a i the water from the tank and to distribute it through any system of pipes which maybe connected therewith. a

It will now be seen that the mounting from all connection with the operating mechanism. In the form shown the bolt and shoulder connection between the mounting head and the casing or power head forms a strong and durable attachement of the parts, in which the shoulder 14 and recess 16 aid in sustaining the weight, which is not at all inconsiderable-in case of a very deep well.

While I have shown and described an upper cylinder and an air cylinder as supported by the mounting head, it is to be understood that in lieu of such upper cylinder and air cylinder or in lieu of such upper cylinder alone I may substitute a mere packing gland-for the piston rod. Also that the piston rod may carry pistons in the ordinary sense 0am lieu of such pistons I may use what is known in this art as a differential ram plungenthat is, a rod enlarged to form.

a plunger. Therefore, wherever in this specification I-refer to the incidental features of an upper cylinder or an upper cylinder and an air chamber I am not limiting myself to these details. ,Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a pumping apparatus, the combination witha power head including a casing 1n which the power mechanism is housed, of a mounting head detachably secured to a ,ver-

tical face of said casing, a drop pipe secured to the mounting head 'and'a lower cylinder,

an upper cylinder all supported by such dropv head, an upper water cylinder sustained by,

the pump head, an extension pipe secured to the pump head, a lower cylinder connected to the extension pipe, a piston rod common to the upper and lower water cylinders, and another piston rod for the air cylinder,- and a connection between said piston rods and an operating extension of the power mechanism.

3. In a pumping apparatus, the combination, with a casing ha ving flanges and. a shoulder, of a mounting head having a recess adapted to receive said shoulder, and fastening devices to secure the mounting head to said flanges.

4. In a pumping apparatus,-the combination with a casing having fian 'es provided with notches and a'shoulder, of a mounting head comprising vertical and horizontal portions and having a recess to receive said shoulder, and bolts fitted to said notches and extending through the upper part of the mounting head and provided with fastening nuts.

si nature.

In testimony whereof, I affix 111 fans.
