ABSTRACT:
An improved pump jack of the type comprising a metal frame that has two parallel spaced frame members carrying upper and lower shackle assemblies arranged to grip a supporting pole, and a pump arm coupled to the frame and the upper shackle assembly for raising the jack. An improved releasing mechanism is provided comprising a U-shaped release member disposed between the two frame members. The U-shaped release member has two opposed struts each provided with an elongate hole adjacent one end to slidably and rotatably receive a pivot shaft that is anchored in the two frame members. The elongate holes in the opposite ends of the release member's side struts are aligned with holes in the forward ends of the side arms of the shackle member of the lower shackle assembly. The holes in the side arm of the lower shackle member are sized and shaped to non-rotatably accommodate the front clamping bar, with the latter acting to pivotally interconnect the U-shaped release member's side struts and the lower shackle. Associated with the release mechanism is a safety means that is designed to prevent accidental operation of the release mechanism.
