oil is then pumped out passing through the
pipe sections 6, 2 and 1 and is delivered free
froni water to the surface.
The fabric 13 is not, in all cases, essential
to the operation of the device, as the ribs
when forced into the walls of the bore, as
hereinbefore described, will obstruct the
fluid passagewayto such an extent that the
detritus in the fluid and earth and other
1 matter will gradually collect between said
ribs and finally completely block the bore
and entirely cut off the flow of fluid from
one side of the device to the other.
What I claim is:
15 1. A device of the character described
composed of two pipe sections, one telescop-
ing within the other, said sections having a
continuous fluid passageway therethrough
and being secured together so as to be freely
20 slidable lengthwise relative to each other, a
collar upon the inner section, a plurality of
ribs pivoted to the outer section and a plu-
rality of ribs pivoted to the collar, the free
ends of the corresponding ribs of the two
25 series being hinged together, said ribs being
inflexible and projecting outwardly at ap-
proximately right angles to the pipe 'when
the outer section is forced against the collar.
2. A device of the character described
30 composed of telescoping pipe sections having
acontinuous fluid passageway therethrough
and secured together so as to be freely mov-
able lengthwise relative to each other, a col-
lar upon the inner section, a plurality of ribs
35 pivoted to the outer section and a plurality
of ribs pivoted to the collar, the correspond-
ing ribs of the two series being hinged to-
gether and adapted to project out at ap-
proximately right angles to the pipe when
40- the outer section is forced against the collar,
and a flexible member secured to said pipe
sections and surrounding said ribs and
adapted to be forced outwardly from said
sections by said ribs.
45 3. A device of the character described in-
cluding an upper and a lower pipe section,
said sections being slidably secured together,
a collar upon the lower pipe section, a plu-
rality of ribs pivoted to the lower end of the
50 upper pipe section, a corresponding num-
ber of ribs pivoted to said collar, the cor-
responding ribs being hinged together in
such a manner that the said ribs will pro-
ject out from the pipe at approximately
55 right angles when the upper section is forced
against said collar and a covering composed
of flexible material impervious to the pas-
sage of fluid enveloping said ribs.
4. A device of the character described in-
60 eluding an upper and a lower pipe section,
said sections telescoping and being secured
together, so as to be freely movable length-
wise relative to each other, a collar upon the
lower pipe section, a plurality of hinged
65 members, each of which is secured at oneend to the upper pipe section and at the
other end to said collar, said hinged mem-
bers being so arranged as to fold when the
upper section and the collar are moved to-
ward each other and when folded to project 70
out at approximately right angles from said
pipe sections.
5. A device of the character described in-
cluding upper and lower pipe sections, the
lowe: of said sections telescoping into the 75
upper section and the sections being mov-
able lengthwise relative to each other and
having a continuous fluid passageway there-
through, an enlarged head carried by the
free end of the lower section and a cuff 80
threaded into the free end of the upper sec-
tion, so as to lock against said head and
prevent the separation of the sections, a col-
lar upon the lower pipe section, a plurality
of inflexible ribs pivoted to the lower end of 85
said cuff and. a corresponding number of
similar ribs pivoted to the upper end of
said collar, the corresponding ribs being
hinged together, said ribs being arranged to
project outwardly as said collar and cuff are 90
forced together.
6. A device of the character described, in-
cluding upper and lower pipe' sections, the
lower of said sections telescoping into the
upper section, and the sections being freely 95
movable lengthwise relative to each other
and having a continuous fluid passageway
therethrough, an enlarged head carried by
the free end of the lower section and a cuff
threaded into the free end of the upper sec- 100
tion, so as to lock against said head and pre-
vent the separation of the sections, a collar
upon the lower pipe sections, a plurality of
inflexible ribs pivoted to the lower end of
said cuff and a corresponding number of 105
similar ribs pivoted to the upper end of
said collar, the corresponding ribs being
hinged together, said ribs being. arranged to
project outwardly as said collar and cuff are
forced together, and a flexible covering sur- 110
rounding said ribs and secured above and
below the ribs to the respective pipe sections.
7. A device of the character described in-
cluding upper and lower pipe sections, the
lower of said sections telescoping into the 115
upper section and the sections being freely
movable lengthwise relative to each other
and having a continuous fluid passageway
therethrough, an enlarged head carried by
the free end of the lower section, a cuff 120
threaded into the free end of the upper sec-
tion, so as to lock against said head and pre-
vent the separation of the sections, a collar
upon the lower pipe section, a plurality of
inflexible ribs pivoted to the lower end of 125
said cuff, a corresponding number of similar
ribs pivoted to the upper end of said collar,
the corresponding ribs being hinged to-
gether, said. ribs being arranged to project
outwardly, elbow fashion, as said collar and 1302
