Description: |
| Claim:
My invention relates to an improvement in windmill-pumps; and it consists in the arrangement and combination of devices whereby, when the tank has been pumped full, a float valve closes the end of the supply-pipe, and causes the water to rise in a cylinder in which there is a weighted piston. To the upper end of this piston-rod is attached a lever, and to one end of this lever is fastened a chain which throws the wheel out of action, so that when the water forces the piston upward after having been shut off from the tank by the float valve, the wheel is thrown out of gear and the pump stopped until the water falls below a certain level in the tank, when the downward movement of the lever again sets the wheel in motion, all of which will be more fully described hereinafter. |
