vertically, the water will flow entirely over
the top of the pipe 4 and there being a con-
stant flow from the fountain or source of the
well the water will be replaced as fast as
5 the device draws.off the water. I have even
drawn off a greater quantity of water per
minute through a reduced pipe in this man-
ner than I was able to force out of the well
with the ordinary centrifugal pump.
o The depth to which this device is to be
forced and the reduction required depends
upon the distance from the. surface of the
ground to the surface of the water.
The device may be made to accomplish
1- the desired result by raising it out of. the
water and then gradually forcing'it down
again and repeating this movement as soon
as the water ceases to flow from the smaller
pipe. When used in this way the valve will
20 permit the casing 2 and pipe 4 to be filled
with water as the device is lowered, but will
prevent the water from running out when
the device is elevated, and as soon as it be-
gins to.move downward again the water will
25 immediately begin toflow out of the pipe 4
as it will be entirely full of water and the
time which would otherwise be consumed in
filling the casing and pipe thus be saved.
What I claim is:
30 1. In a well discharger and cleanser a
three piece cylinder for operating within a
well casing, a bit at its lower end for secur-
ing a valve within said cylinder, said cylin-
der being also provided with a pair of an-nular elevations near the upper end of said 35
cylinder and upon its periphery and integral
therewith, a single annular elevation carried
by said cylinder near its lower end, a rubber
ring carried upon the periphery of the cyl-
inder and between the elevations of the pair 40
and a packing ring carried upon the pd-
riphery of the cylinder and between the said
single elevation and the said bit.
2. In a well discharger and cleanser, a cyl-
inder having a plurality of pairs of annular 45
elevations integral therewith, a single .an-
nular elevation carried by the said cylinder.
near its lower end, a plurality of hard rub-
ber rings carried by said cylinder between
the elevations of each of the said pairs and ro
held in place thereby, a bit screwed on to
the lower end of the cylinder adapted to re-
ceive a valve and being beveled from its in-
ner side to" its outer edge, a packing ring
held in place by said bit and said single an- t5
nular elevation, a reducing bushing secured
to the upper end of the cylinder and a hol-
low reduced pipe having connection 'with .
said cylinder through said bushing substan-
tially as described and-for the purpose speci- co
fied.
In testimony whereof I have signed my
name to this specification in the presence of
two subscribing witnesses.
