Abstract
A lower end of a first hollow cylinder is connected to an upper end of a second hollow cylinder. A first outer hollow stem has an intermediately disposed first external enlargement disposed within the first cylinder. A hollow vertical main piston is vertically slidable within the first cylinder. A second inner stem extends upwardly through the main piston and through a bore in the first stem. A space between an upper section of the second stem and the first stem defines a vertical fluid discharge path. An upper end of an integral lower vertical section of the second stem engages the lower end of the main piston so that a horizontal channel extends between the lower section and the lower end of the main piston and connects the region between the lower section and the inner wall of the first cylinder to the fluid discharge path. A fluid discharge port is formed between the upper ends of the first section and the inner stem. A vertical inner piston has an upper end engagable with the lower end of the lower section and is vertically slidable in the second cylinder. A second outwardly extending enlargement of the second cylinder engages the inner wall of the second cylinder. An arrangement normally biases the discharge port closed and opens the discharge port during a selected point on the downstroke.
