    William H. Anderson of Riverside, California patented an improved treadle pump in 1890. The pump features a walking beam pivoted at its center that is operated by foot pedals at either end. Slots cut into the walking beam house half-pulleys connected to the piston rods. This arrangement allows for smooth, low friction operation of the pump with minimal risk of binding or twisting of components when the walking beam is vibrated by the operator's alternating foot pressure on the pedals.

    Ap p lic ation filed J anu ary 6 , 1890. Serial No. 336 ,102. (No model.)
    To all whom it may c onc ern:
    ' Be it known that I, W ILLIAM H . ANDERSON,
    a c itiz en of the United States , res iding at
    Rivers ide, in the c ou nty of San Bernardino,
    and State of C alifornia, have invented c er
    tain new and u s efu l Imp rovements in Treadle
    Pu mp s , of whic h the following is a s p ec i? c a
    tion.
    My invention relates to imp rovements in
    treadle-p u mp s ; and it c ons is ts in c ertain novel
    featu res , hereinafter des c ribed and c laimed.
    In the ac c omp any ing drawing s , F ig u re l is
    a p ers p ec tive View of a p u mp p rovided with
    my imp rovements . F ig . 2 is a vertic al c ros s
    s ec tion of the treadle, and F ig . 3 is a s ide ele
    vation of the walking -beam or treadle.
    Referring to the drawing s by letter, B des
    ig nates a s tandard, having a bifu rc ated u p p er
    end, in and to whic h the walking ~beam or
    treadle O is p ivoted by a trans vers e bolt or
    p ivot-p in A, as s hown. -
    D des ig nates s hoes or foot-res ts , whic h are
    s wiveled to the u p p er s ides of the walking
    beam at or near the ends of the s ame, s o as to
    be maintained in a horiz ontal p os ition at all
    times . Thes e s hoes or r' es ts rec eive the feet of
    the op erator when the devic e is in u s e. The
    walking -beam or c ros s -bar is p rovided at or
    near its ends with the long itu dinal s lots F ,
    the u p p er and lower edg es of whic h are c on
    vex . H alf-p u lley s X are ? tted in thes e s lots ,
    and are held therein by ax les or p ivot-p ins R,
    to the ends of whic h I p ivot the u p p er ends
    of the p is ton-rods H , as s hown.
    The c ons tru c tion and arrang ement of the
    s everal p arts of the devic e being thu s made
    known, the op eration and advantag es of the
    s ame will be readily u nders tood. '
    The op erator s tands u p on the walking
    beam with his feet in the s hoes D, and by
    throwing his weig ht alternately u p on the op
    p os ite s hoes vibrates the walking -beam or
    treadle, and thereby reeip roc ates the p is tons
    and s o op erates the p u mp .
    It will be notic ed that the arrang ement and
    c ons tru c tion s hown and des c ribed p rovides a

    devic e whic h c an be eas ily and rap idly op er- -
    ated, and in whic h the fric tion will be redu c ed
    to a minimu m, the rollers s erving not only to
    redu c e the fric tion, bu t als o moving from end
    to end of the s lots to overc ome the tendenc y
    5 0
    of the p is ton~rods to bind u p on the walking - _
    beam or other p arts .
    By emp loy ing half-p u lley s I am enabled to
    make the walls of the s lots c onvex , thu s p re
    . venting the p u lley s moving ' laterally , and c on
    s eq u ently obviating twis ting of the p is ton
    rods or other p arts . The half-rollers are ? tted
    in the s lots from op p os ite s ides , as will be
    readily u nders tood.
    H aving thu s des c ribed my invention, whatI
    c laim, and des ire to s ec u re by Letters Patent,
    1s '
    The c ombination of the walking -beam hav
    ing long itu dinal s lots in its ends , s aid s lots
    having c onvex walls , the half-rollers ? tted in
    s aid s lots from the op p os ite s ides of the s ame,
    the p is ton-rods p ivoted to the ax les of' the
    rollers , and the s hoes s wiveled on the u p p er
    s ide of the walking -beam, as s p ec i? ed.
    In witnes s whereof I have hereu nto s et my
