IPUMP.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 16,229, dated December 16, 1856.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JABEZ Corner, of Bos ton, Suffolk county, Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Pump; and I hereby declare that the following description, with the accompanying drawings, forms a full, clear, and exact specification thereof.

Figure I exhibits an inside view of the delivery valve seats (g) and the inner ends of the double pistons (d) and the steel sockets (c) and the steel balls (f), the delivery valve bonnet being removed. Fig. II exhibits an outside view of the delivery valve seats (g) and the outer end of the pistons (cl) and the followers (0), the receiving valve bonnet being removed. Fig. III exhibits an inside view of the receiving valve seats (h) in their separate chambers, and the receiving valve bonnet Fig. IV exhibits an outside view of the receiving valve seats (h) and the receiving valve bonnet (Z). Fig. V exhibits an exterior view of the delivery valve bonnet and the discharge. pipe Fig. VI exhibits a.

longitudinal sectlon of my pump through the lines (a, a, 6,) showing the working parts. Fig. VII exhibits a side elevation of my pump when put together.

I make my pump double, or with two working ends, which are alike in construction and operation. I make a strong bed plate (a) to support the pump over the reservoir. Upon this bed plate I fix five duplicate pump cylinders (b) of a suitable size, and arranged around, and forming the bearings of the driving shaft with its oblique disk, which are cast in one piece (0). On each end of the shaft I make a. suitable crank for working the pump. In the five duplicate pump cylinders I place five double acting pistons ((Z), cut away in the middle next the shaft, leaving a crescent-shaped portion on the outer side so as to receive the oblique disk (0). In each end of each piston I make an adjustable steel socket (e), and in each socket I place ahemispherical steel ball with its round side moving in the socket, and its flat side moving on the face of the disk. I make suitable delivery valve seats (9) through the supporting rim of the cylinders (b), and also suitable receiving valve seats (h) through the receiving valve bonnet. I make'a. delivery valve bonnet (2') around the duplicate cylinders, with a discharge pipe (j), and I make india rubber valves with suitable valve guards (is) for all the valve seats. I cover the outer ends of the duplicate pump cylinders with a receiving valve bonnet (Z), having a receiving pipe (m). I provide the double acting pistons with suitable packing (n), secured with a follower (0). I surround the working parts, namely, the shaft, the oblique disk, the steel balls and sockets, and the central parts of the pistons, with an oil cylinder filled with oil, and having suitable stuffing boxes (g) around the shaft. I face the outer part of both sides of the oblique disk, with a thin steel late 1 Turnin the shaft with either way produces a reciprocating movement in all the double acting pistons parallel to the shaft, thereby making them act in their duplicate cylinders, as a pump for air or water, or any other fluid usually operated upon by a pump. The steel balls, s0ck e ts,

wawefefinr Each half 0 the duplicate cylindHYmay be cast in one piece; and each double acting piston may be cast in'one piece. The working parts are inclosed in oil and kept free from dust and dirt. The duplicate cylinders are always full of oil on one side of the pistons and water on the other.

The pump is compact in form, and will run slow or fast, and will throw the same quantity of water at each revolution, whatever may be the speed. lVhen used as a fire engine the discharge pipes may be united; and my pump may be worked by two or more men, all working with equal advantage. Steam or any other driving power may also be applied to it. It is durable and may be used for any purpose for which an efiicient pump is required.

hat I claim is 1. Producing the reciprocating movement of the pump pistons by the oblique disk, steel balls, and adjustable steel sockets, constructed and operating substantially as clescribed.

2. Constructing and arranging the duplicate cylinders with their double act-ing pis tons, in any odd number, five being the best, around the driving shaft with its oblique disk, so as to be operated thereby from the center, substantially as described.

3. Inclosing the working parts in an oil cylinder to keep them lubricated and free from dirt substantially as described.
