FEED H. MEIER, OF TEAGUE, TEXAS.
PU~P.1,1449 18.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 29, 1915.
Application filed arch 19, 1915. Serial No. 15,556.:1 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRED H. MERs, a
citizen of the United States, residing at
Teague, in the county of Freestone and State
5 of Texas, have invented a new and useful
Pump, of which the following is a specifi-
cation.
The present invention relates to improve-
ments in pumps, one object of the 'invention,
10 being the provision of a novel construction
of nozzle, wherein air under pressure is em-
ployed to elevate the water, the air being so
directed as to move in the direction of water
flow and thus not cause any stirring of the
15 sediment at the bottom of the well thus in-
suring the delivery of a clear water through
the casing.
A further object of the present invention,
is the provision of a pneumatically actuated
20 nozzle for elevating water, in which the
parts are readily assembled and adjusted for
both shallow and deep work.
A still further object of the present inven-
tion, is the provision of a simple inexpensive
.25 and durable construction of a nozzle of this
character, which is easily installed and ad-
justed for shallow or deep wells.
With the foregoing and other objects in
view which will appear as the description
30 proceeds, the invention resides in the combi-.
nation and arrangement of parts and in the
details of construction hereinafter described
and claimed, it being understood that
changes in the precise embodiment of the
35 invention herein disclosed can be made with-
in the scope of what is claimed without de-
parting from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings-Figure 1 is a longitudi-
nal sectional view through the complete noz-
40 zle showing the well casing and the air
directing pipe. Fig. 2 is a top' plan view
thereof. Fig. 3 is a section taken on line
3-3 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1
45 designates the well casing which is of usual
construction, and 2 represents the air in-
duction pipe. The lower end of the pipe 2
is threadedly incased in the socket 3 of the
cylindrical member 4 which in turn is pro-
50 vided with the transverse bore 5 which is in
communication as at 6 with the lower end
of the pipe 2. Thus air directed through.
the pipe 2 will be conducted in opposite di-
rections through the bore 5 and to the lower
55 end of the tubular member 7 carried by the
member 4 and projecting upwardly and con-centrically of the pipe 2. The member 7 is
provided with the flared mouth 8 which fits
concentrically of the deflecting member 9
carried adjustably upon the air pipe 2. 69
Thus the outlet for writer which enters
through the ports 10 of the member 4 at
each side of the by-pass 5 is regulated ac-
cording to the position ,of the member 9
relatively to the flaring mouth 8 of the 65
water directing member 7.
The member 4 is exteriorly screw threaded
as at 11 to fit in the annular member 12.
which seals the lower end of the concentric
compartment 13 formed by the cylindrical 70
member or sleeve 14 upstanding from the
annular member 12, the sleeve or annular
member 14 is of substantially the same
height as the member 7, so that its upper
end coincides therewith and being concon- i
tric of the flared mouth 8 provides the
nozzle outlet 15 for the air. Thus the p:-
sage of the air therethrough produces a
vacuum in the member 7 and consequently
causes the water to flow through. tle ports 10 80
into the member 7 and out of the nozzle
formed at the concentric outlet between the
member 9 and the flared mouth 8 thereof.
Carried by -the member 12, exteriorly of
the member 14 are a. plurality of radiating 85
lugs 16, which are threadedly engaged as at
17 to the outer casing member 18, the same
thus providing a plurality of water pas-
sages 19, which conduct water into the annu-
lar space 20 formed between the members 90
14, and 18. The member 18 is provided with
the inclined projecting portion 20', which
coperates with the upper end of the mem-
ber 14 in producing the concentric outlet for
the water, so that the outrushing air at 15. 95
causes a vacuum in the space between the
members 14 and 18, thus causing the two
upward streams of water from the ports 10
and 19 upon opposite sides of the concentric
air directing chamber. Thus-it will be seen 100
that as the air is directed upwardly at all
times and under' a steady pressure, that.
steady streams of water will also pass
upwardly within the member 7 and between
the members 14 and 18, so that there will 105
be no intermittent action in the delivery of
the water through the casing 1.
By providing the adjustment between the
parts, the relative position of the outlet or
nozzle end of the members 7 and 14 may be lie
changed or adjusted relatively to the pro-
jection 20 and the member 9, the same being
