Portable irrigation pump

Claim 1

A portable irrigation pump comprising a frame supported by wheels adaptable for transport; a cross-member in the middle of said frame to form an A-shapEd wishbone-type support; a saddle vertically mounted above each side of said frame and horizontally connected above a power source to form a transportable rest for the upper end of pump to set in; a pair of support arms hingedly mounted on each side of saddle and frame, upper end of said support arms hingedly and bracedly attached to a pump support hinge to lift pump head up out of saddle and hingedly set it down into the wishbone end of frame; said pump support hinge being fixedly mounted to upper end of pump; a winch fixedly mounted to frame; from said winch a cable extendable under said pump support hinge up to boom which extends upwardly and rearwardly from frame and said cable extending downwardly to lower part of pump; said power source securely mounted in said frame with a coupleable, turnable, flexible, reduceable drive train extending rearwardly connecting to pump shaft which is supported by a thrust bearing on said pump support hinge and which extends in and through the center of an elongated tubular conduit with an impeller fixedly mounted on opposite end of shaft and rotatable in a cone-shaped housing, said impeller held in position by a fin-support bearing, thus forming the pump; an intake scoop with shallow 180-degree circular intake ports with Antiswire fins mounted and spaced to brace the scoop, said intake scoop hingedly mounted to said coneshaped housing and controllable by cable and hand winch which is mounted on upper end of pump; a hose secured by clamp means to upper end of conduit which is a 45* elbow to house a radiator and to permit said hose when inflated to extend out on the ground, or when rolled up, to be held to end of conduit by a flexible, attached by clamp, hose carrier that encircles the hose; an automatic shutoff arm, hingedly attached on a bracket that is mounted on underside of frame, one end of the arm resting on the hose, which is flexible and supported by internal water pressure, so that when the pressure drops, the hose collapses, triggering the arm causing other end to touch an electric terminal which grounds the ignition control, shutting off the power source; and a vent valve, mounted in top of pump, to alleviate vacuum caused by water leaving the tube when the pump is shut off.
