Traveller do hereby declare the nature of my improved invention for for
FLUSHING AND AFTERFLUSHING CLOSET BASON AND SEALING SAME AND TO
PREVENT WASTE OF WATER to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements of and in apperatus for flushing and
afterflushing closet basons and to prevent waste of water.
The means I adopt for effecting the above purpose consists of an arrangements of
apperatus hereafter described whereby a certain quantity of water is drawn or
discharge at one time sufficient for cleansing the bason of closet and also a second
discharge is made immediately following the former for afterflush and there a
perfect and definate charge of water is used preventing any waste of same.
The apperatus consists of a weighted lever actuated by means of a pull and fixed
to a cistern and provided with the necessary valves and connections this cistern
consists of three chambers into the first chamber the water is allowed to flow direct
from the supply in the usual way and regulated by means of the ordinary ball
valve or other similar arrangements.
Between the first and third chamber there is a valve with communication which
is open when the actuating lever is at rest or in its normal position also between
the second chamber and flush valve in third chamber there is a sealed afterflush
valve and connection for sealing bason of closet which is worked by the action of
the ball on supply valve and is self closing and in bottom of the third chamber
there is a third valve for flushing closet bason The mode of operation is as
follow as before stated when the actuating lever is at rest in its normal position
the valve and communication between first and third chamber is open the valve in
the bottom chamber been closed that being so there is a free communication
between first and third chamber keeping the latter fully supplied from the former
the valve in third chamber cannot be opened until the valve in first chamber is
closed first the sealed afterflush valve in the second chamber will close by the first
and third chamber becoming full before any water can enter the second chamber
by my arrangements the first second and third chamber when charged been one
body of water having no empty chamber in the cistern it make a sealed cistern as
D

page_text: well as sealed bason and all offensive odours are prevented from rising from the
closet through the cistern as in other cisterns now in use.
Now on the user actuating lever he by one opperation dose as follow
First he close the communication between first and third chamber and prevent
further ingress or egress of water from first chamber thus preventing waste of
water during the discharge of the contents of the third chamber into the discharge
pipe in connection with the bason and thus flushes or cleanses the same:
Secondly on the user releasing the pull it will close flush valve in the third
chamber first and open valve in first chamber and allow its contents to go through
communication in the third chamber it will releas the ball on supply valve which
will open the sealed afterflush valve in second chamber thus by one action the
closet is cleansed and by means of the sealed afterflush and scaled cistern all the
offensive odours are prevented and the supply of water regulated.

Traveller I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for FLUSHING AND
AFTERFLUSHING CLOSET BASONS AND SEALING SAME and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This invention consists of improvements of and in apparatus for flushing and
afterflushing closet basons and to prevent waste of water.
The means I adopt for effecting the above purpose consists of an arrangement of
apparatus here after described whereby a certain quantity of water is drawn or
discharged at one time sufficient for cleansing the bason of closet and also a second
discharge is made immediately following the former for afterflushing to seal
closet bason and thus a perfect and definite charge of water is used preventing any
waste of same.
And in order that my said invention may be 'properly understood I will proceed
to describe the same reference being had to the annexed drawings wherein the same
letters of reference indicate similar parts in all the figures referring to the
drawings accompanying my previsional specification.
I is the overflow connection.
J is the union for connecting apparatus to discharge pipe.
Kis the pull connected to weighted actuating lever A.
L is the connections between A actuating lever and F Hydraulic valve and
II flushing valve.
M is the communication between first and third chamber.
The apparatus consists of a weighted lever A actuated by means of a pull K and
is fixed to the cistern and provided with the necessary valves and connections this
cistern consists of three chambers B C and D into the first chamber the water
is allowed to flow direct from supply in the usual way and regulated by means of
the ordinary supply valve E or other similar arrangements Between the first
Hydraulic chamber B and the third flushing chamber D there is a valve F having
a communication through afterflush chamber C which is open when the actuating
lever A is at rest or in its normal position also between second sealed afterflush
chamber C there is a sealed afterflush valve G which is connected to H flushing valve
in the third flushing chamber D having a communication in to the closet bason
without entering flush chamber D The mode of operation is as follows when you

page_text: pull the pull K you close the F Hydraulic valve in the Hydraulic chamber B first
before you open the H flushing valve in flushing chamber D to flush the bason of
closet by my arrangements the supply valve E is shut off by B Hydraulic chamber
becoming full of water the ball of same being kept up until the pull goes back to
rest or its normal position which will close the flushing valve H in the flushing
chamber D and will open the Hydraulic valve F in the Hydraulic chamber B and
will release the ball E-of supply valve the connection on the ball E will open the
sealed afterflush valve G in scaled afterflush chamber C and let the afterflush water
in bason of closet to seal same and will recharge the chamber B C and D for the
next operation the three chambers B C and D being one body of water and having
no empty chamber in the cistern it is a sealed cistern as well as scaled closet bason
and all offensive odours are prevented from rising from the closet bason through
cistern as in other cisterns now in use and the supply of water regulated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is the arrangements of my sealed afterflush valve G and the scaled
afterflush chamber C and parts.
First the general arrangements and combination of parts to gether forming an
improved mode and apparatus for flushing and afterflushing water closet as and for
the purpose herein before set forth and as shewn on the drawings or any mere
modification there of.
Second the novel arrangements of the sealed afterflush chamber C and the
apparatus in connection there with as more particularly shewn on drawings
