Pump

Patent for an improvement to lift pumps for deep oil and artesian wells. The improvement is intended to overcome the difficulty of excessive pressure caused by the liquid rising to the surface that makes foot valve inoperable. The design also makes the pump easier to construct as well as stronger and more durable.
