JOHN W. TAYLOR, OF PLAINVIEW, TEXAS.
PUMP-OPERATING ELEYFENT FOR WIND-WHEELS.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar. 28, 1916.
Application filed August 3, 1914. Serial No. 854,765.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JoiiN W. TAYLOR, a
citizen-of the United States of America, re-
siding at Plainview, in the county of. Hale
and State of Texas, have invented new and
useful Improvements in Pump - Operating
Elements for Wind-Wheels, of which the
following is a specification.
This invention relates more particularly
20 to improvements in pump operating means,
the object being to provide an operating de-
vice for pump - rods, or other mechanism
which may be actuated by a reciprocatory
bar or rod, the pump-rod being connected
15 to an oscillatory member for actuating the
same, the means for reciprocating the pump-
rod from either driving member being so
constructed that one of the actuating mem-
bers associated. with the pump-rod may be
20 idle when the other actuating member is
used as a drive.
A further object of my invention is to pro-
vide a pump-rod operating device in which
the pump-rod and a wind-wheel-rod are con-
25 nected by a toggle-joint, the pump-rod being
also connected by another toggle-joint with
a pump handle, s.o that the pump-rod may
be reciprocated by either the reciprocatory
wind-wheel-rod or by the oscillatory pump-
so handle without transmitting motion from
one drive to the other.
In the accompanying drawings which
show a preferred form of my invention,
Figure 1, is a side elevation of a wind-wheel
35 tower showing a pump-handle operatively
connected to the pump-rod, and the wind-
wheel - rod being -inoperatively connected
to said pump - rod. Fig. 2, is a side ele-
vation which shows the pump -handle in-
40 operatively associated with the pump - rod,
and the wind-wheel-rod connected to drive
the pump-rod. Fig. 3, is a side elevation
of the rule-joint of the toggle bars. Fig. 4,
is a sectional view of the rule-joint. Fig.
45 5, is a side elevation of a fixture for con-
necting the arms of the toggle to the wind-
wheel-rod and to the pump-rod, and Fig.
6, is a plan view of the fixture shown by
Fig. 5.
bo The wind-wheel tower 1, may be of any
suitable construction the same having at-
tached to its frame a suitably located cross
timber 2, which carries a fixture 3 to which
is pivotally connected a fixture on the pump
55 handle 4, the fixtures 3 and 3' providing
means for maintaining the pump handle inoscillatory engagement with the support or
timber 2. The end of the pump handle
nearest to the pump 5, carries a suitable
fixture 6 to which is pivotally attached a 60
member or bar 7 such bar being connected
with the member or bar 9 by a rule or elbow
joint 8, the upper end of the bar 9 being
attached by a .fixture 10 to the upper end
of the. pump-rod 11. The rod 12 of the 65
wind-wheel is connected to the opposite-side
of the pump rod by a similar connection to
that which connects the pump rod to the
pump handle, and as shown the connection
between the rod 12 of the wind-wheel coin- 70
prises fixtures 10, 10, members or bars 7' and
9' which are connected by the rule or elbow
joint 8', the details of construction of the
joints 8 and 8' and of the fixtures 10 being
fully shown by the detail views Figs. 3 to6 75
inclusive.
In practice by positioning both of the
members of the toggle joints out of line the
pump rod will be put out of operative en-
gagement with both the pump handle and 8o
the rod.of the wind-wheel, and when it is de-
sired to reciprocate the pump rod from the
wind wheel-rod 12, the members 9' and 7'
are placed in alinement so that the shoulders
of the knuckle joint will engage, and when 85
so positioned the reciprocating motion of
the wind-wheel-rod 12 will be transmitted
to the pump rod without actuating the
pump-handle. When it is desired to actuate
or reciprocate the pump - rod without im- 9o
parting movement to the wind-wheel-rod 12,
the toggle joints are positioned as shown by
Fig. 1. It will be noted that the alined
pump-rod and wind-wheel-rod have between
them a clearance space which is in excess of 95
the stroke of either of the rods.
The use of two toggle joints to connect
the two driving elements enable me to use
the wind-wheel without operating the pump
or to operate the pump without oscillating ico
its handle. thereby avoidina danger of a per-
son or animal being struck by the moving
handle.
I am aware that it has been proposed to
connect a wind-wheel-rod to a pump-rod by 105
a toggle joint in order that the wind-wheel
might be disconnected as to its drive from
the pump- rod, but I am not aware that
means have been used whereby both the
wind-wheel-rod and the pump-rod may be 110
placed in non-operative engagement with
the pump-rod and so that either one of the1,77 0,064.
