We JOHN EDWIN PLACE and WILLIAM HENRY PLACE both of Hoddlesdon,
in the County of Lancaster, Sanitary Pipe Makers, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the pans or basins of waste or slop water closets; and
the object of the invention is so to form the pan or basin that there is always a
certain accumulation of water left therein after the flush from the ordinary tipper
so that the excreta or other solid matter falling into the pan or basin will always
drop into this water, and further that the flush of the water from the tipper shall
be very thorough and the pan or basin and the trap shall be well cleared of the
excreta or solid matter at every flush.
net at
The pan or basin is made circular in form with an inlet and connecting
the upper part of one side and an outlet and socket at the lower part diametrically
opposite to the inlet.
The inlet is made with a baffle extending downwards, and curved downwards
from the socket by which it is connected directly or otherwise with the tipper box
or chamber, so as not to impede the rush of the water into the pan, and the
opening left beneath this baffle is curved upwards at the sides so as to spread the
water as it rushes from the tipper into the pan or basin.
The bottom of the pan or basin is dished so that, although the water has a clear
rush into the pan or basin, it has to rise over a bridge or ridge to reach the outlet.
The latter is as nearly as possible as wide as the diameter bottom of the pan, and
tapers gradually to the width of the socket to which the trap is fitted, the said
trap being close under the edge of the outlet.
A suitable foot is provided beneath the centre of the bottom of the pan to
bear the weight of the pipes between the water closet seat and the basin or pan,
which is provided at the upper edge as usual with a socket for this purpose.
By this invention the water from the tipper rushes into the pan, flushing the
whole of the bottom thereof, and straight through the outlet when it falls with its
full force into the trap, and will carry the heaviest solid matter straight through
the latter.
The outlet also is so situated at the bottom of the pan or basin that the trap
can be cleaned from above as readily as if it were at the centre of the bottom of
the said pan or basin.

Closets.
We JOHN EDWIN PLACE, and WILLIAM HENRY PLACE, both of Hoddlesden,
in the County of Lancaster, Sanitary Pipe Makers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the pans or basins of waste or slop water closets; and
the object of the invention is so to form the pan or basin that there is always a
certain accumulation of water left therein after the flush from the ordinary tipper,
so that the excreta or other solid matter falling into the pan or basin will always
drop into this water, and further that the flush of the water from the tipper shall
be very thorough and the pan or basin and the trap shall be well cleared of the
excreta or solid matter at every flush,
Our invention will be readily understood from the following description on
reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through about the centre of one of our improved
paus shewing also a tipper tank and trap applied thereto.
Figs. 2 and 3 are transverse sections looking each way through about the live A A
on Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the said pan.
The pan or basin a is made circular in form (see Fig. 4) with an inlet b and
connecting socket b' at the upper part of one side and an outlet c or an outlet and
socket at the lower part diametrically opposite to the inlet.
The inlet b is made with a baffle b2 extending downwards and curved downwards
from the socket (see Fig. 2) by which it is connected directly or otherwise with
the tipper box or chamber d so as not to impede the rush of the water into the
pan a, and the opening left beneath this baffle is thus curved upwards at the sides
so as to spread the water as it rushes from the tipper d' into the pan or basin a.
The bottom of the pan or basin a is dished (see Fig. 1) so that although the water
bas a clear rush into the pan or basin a it has to rise over a bridge or ridge to reach
the outlet c. The latter (see also Fig. 3) is as nearly as possible as wide as the
diameter of the bottom of the pan, and tapers gradually (see Fig. 4) to the width
of the socket e in the trap el or to which the trap is fitted, the said trape being
close under the edge of the outlet c.
A suitable foot a¹ is provided beneath the centre of the bottom of the pan a to
bear the weight of the pipes, one of which is shown at f, between the water closet
seat and the basin or pan, which is provided at the upper edge as usual with a
socket a 2 for this purpose.
By this invention the water from the tipper d' rushes into the pan, flushing the
whole of the bottom thereof, and straight through the cutlet c whence it falls with
its full force into the trap e', and will carry the heaviest solid matter straight
through the latter.
The outlet c also is so situated at the bottom of the pan or basin that the trap
can be cleaned from above as readily as if it were at the centre of the bottom of
the said pan or basin a as shewn by the line gg ou Fig. 1.
The outlet c may also be provided with an upwardly directed branch c*, as shewn
dotted at Fig. 1, which may be covered, and this forms an air chamber to assist in
Bushing the trape, and also serves as an additional means of access to clean out
the trap if desired.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The improved basin or pan for waste water closets constructed with curved inlet,
dished bottom, broad tapering outlet terminating immediately under the edge of
the dish (so that the trap is close under the edge of the outlet), and central foot,
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated by the
annexed drawings.
Dated this 26th day of January 1897.
