page_text: I JOHN PARSONS of No. 18 Caulton Street Nottingham Clerk of Works do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Soil pipes, waste pipes, rain water pipes or any description of fall pipes of any
shape and form are made with one end of each pipe slightly tapered or contracted and
on the other end is a socket which is made narrow at the bottom so as to correspond
with the tapered end-When two pipes are connected the jointing substance in the
socket is compressed by the weight of the pipe above it and a solid joint is effected-
The proportions and shape of the tapered end and socket are such that when fixed the
end of one pipe is below the bottom of the socket of the pipe to which it is connected
and being at that point of less diameter than the pipe surrounding it any liquid falling
through the pipes is conducted clear of the joint thus preventing splash and reducing
corrosion at the joint This invention further relates to the method of fixing any
description of fall pipes which may be fixed with belts or clips or may have ears cast
on the pipes such belts clips or ears having a slit or groove of any suitable shape
in them which slit or groove is made in a direction forming an acute angle with
the line of pipe-Nails or spikes are driven through these slits or grooves into the
joints of Brickwork at any point in the slit or groove where the joint happens to cross
thus reducing the necessity of cutting plug holes in the bricks.

page_text: I, JOHN PARSONS of No. 18 Caulton Street Nottingham Clerk of Works 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 :-
--
Soil pipes, waste pipes, rain water pipes or any description of fall pipes I make with
one end slightly tapered or contracted and on the other end I have a socket which I
make narrower at the bottom than the top so as to correspond with the tapered end
When two pipes are connected the jointing substance in the socket is compressed by
the weight of the pipe above it and a solid joint effected, and the tapered end being
below the bottom of the socket and at that point of less size than that part of the pipe
surrounding it, any liquid falling through the pipes is conducted clear of the joint,
thus preventing splash and reducing the possibility of corrosion at the joint.
This invention further relates to the method of fixing pipes as aforesaid of any
description for which purpose the pipes may have ears cast on them or fitted to them
or may have ears connected to loose belts or clips such ears having a slit or groove of
any suitable shape or a number of holes through them, the line of such slit groove or
holes being in an oblique, curved or other suitable direction. In fixing the pipes nails
or spikes are driven into the joints of the wall to which the pipes are to be fixed
through any part of the slits grooves or holes of the ears where the joints may happen
to cross them, thus reducing the necessity of cutting plug holes in the wall-In order
to ensure the pipes being held solid to the wall when belts or clips are used, I make
the belts or clips to correspond in shape with the outside face of the pipe socket which
latter being widest at the top admits of the belts or clips being slid up or down as
occasion may require until they fit between the pipe and the wall.
Fig. 1 is a section of two pipes at the joint and shewing elevation of ears-a is the 2
tapered end 6 is the socket-c is the slit or groove in the ears and the dotted parts of
the ears are the holes.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of two connected pipes in which d is a belt or clip-e is the
face of socket and c is the slit or groove in the ears.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation in which d is a belt or clip-e is the face of socket and 3
is the face of wall.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inventio"
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1-The improved joint for fall pipes by means of the tapered end (a) and socket (b)
substantially as described and shewn in this specification and the said Drawings
respectively.
2-The improved method of fixing fall pipes of any description (whether having
my improved joint as aforesaid or otherwise) by means of ears with slits or grooves (c)
or a number of holes in them substantially as described and shewn in this specification
and the said Drawings respectively.
3-The improved method of fixing fall pipes of any description (whether having
my improved joint as aforesaid or otherwise) by means of belts or clips with ears
attached, having a sliding face (g) in conjunction with a corresponding face of a
socket of a pipe substantially as described and shewn in this specification and the said
Drawings respectively.
