PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastenings for Rain-water, Soil, Waste, and
other Pipes.
I WILLIAM DAVIDSON of Victoria Road, Lenzie in the County of Lanark,
draughtsman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to a Fastening for securing Rain Water Soil, Waste or other
pipes, having projecting faucets, to walls in such a way that the pipes can be fitted up
close to, or at a distance from the wall and thereby allow the pipes to be readily
painted when required, and in case of leakage occurring, insuring that little damage
will be done to the walls; also for the purpose of enabling the pipes to be easily
fitted up, or to be taken down without removing the fastening from the wall.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Figures 1 and 2 represent plans of the
improved fastening as adapted to common round or rectangular pipes, Figure 3 is a
corresponding elevation of the fastening and Figure 4 represents an elevation of the
fastening with the pipe in position.
The space A in the front and the space B in the bottom of the fastening allow the
body of the pipe, but not the faucet, to pass through and the space is slightly
larger than the faucet of the pipe. When the body of the pipe is passed into the
improved fastening and the faucet lowered into it, the pipe is secured so that it
cannot move downwards or laterally. The portion D which connects the fastening
to the wall may be of any length and may be secured to the wall in various
ways.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fastenings for Rain-water, Soil, Waste, and
other Pipes.
I WILLIAM DAVIDSON of 1 Victoria Road Lenzie in the County of Lanark N.B.
draughtsman do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be perforined, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to a Fastening for securing Rain Water, Soil, Waste, and
other pipes to the walls of buildings. The fastening is applicable to all such pipes
having enlarged ends or faucets such as are usually formed on the pipes for joining
one pipe with another and no special part requires to be put on the pipe to suit the
fastening.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings Figures 1 and 2 represent plans of the
improved fastening as applicable to common round or rectangular pipes, Figure 3 is
a corresponding elevation of the fastening and Figure 4 represents an elevation of the
fastening with the pipe in position.
The space A in the front and the space B in the bottom of the fastening allows the
body of pipe but not the faucet to pass through and the space () is a very little
larger than the faucet. When the body of the pipe is passed into the fastening and
the faucet lowered into it, the pipe is secured so that it cannot move downwards or
laterally.
The part D which connects the body of the fastening to
length and may be attached to the wall in various ways.
part D to project the pipe sufficiently far from the wall to
the wall may be of any
1 prefer to make the
allow of the pipe being

page_text: readily painted all round and to prevent injury to the wall should a pipe leak or
overflow.
The part E of the fastening may be of any convenient dimension but I prefer to
make it not more than one third of the depth of the inside of the faucet of pipe so
that if in fixing up pipes the spigot ends are inserted into the faucet ends a similar
distance any individual pipe may be lifted up clear of the fastening and the pipe
below and may be removed, if the pipe immediately above it and it only-is lifted
up a distance of two thirds the depth of the inside of faucet of pipe. Pipes fitted up
with the improved fastening may be taken down without disturbing the attachment
of the fastening to the wall.
The fastening may be plain or ornamented.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that' what
I claim is,
The Fastening substantially as herein described and illustrated for the purpose set
forth.
