PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Night Commodes, Sanitary Pails or
Buckets, and the like.
We, HARRY GOLDBERG, Gentleman and THE JOHANNESBURG MINING AND
GENERAL SYNDICATE LIMITED, both of 27 Clement's Lane in the City of
London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to make night commodes, sanitary pails or
buckets and the like so that the stercoraceous matter shall be automatically
separated from the urine, whereby greater facility is obtained in cleaning and
emptying and from 50 % to 60% of the bad odours arising from the fermentation
of the liquid and solid matter when together, obviated. By the employment
of this invention, the manufacture of night soil into deodorised manure is greatly
facilitated.
According to this invention we suspend in the sanitary pail or the like, another
vessel of about half the depth of the main one. This second vessel is perforated
at the bottom, in order that the urine may run through into the main pail, whilst
the stercoraceous matter remains in the second or suspended vessel.
The said second vessel is supported in the main one by means of an annular
flange or otherwise, and in such a way as only to extend about half way down into
the sanitary pail or the like.
We further propose to have the front portion of the suspended vessel partitioned
off so that the urine may pass through this partitioned portion direct into the
main pail or the like, without coming into contact with the stercoraceous matter.

Improvements in or relating to Night Commodes, sanitary Falls of
Buckets, and the like.
We HARRY GOLDBERG, Gentleman and THE JOHANNESBURG MINING AND
GENERAL SYNDICATE LIMITED, both of 27 Clement's Lane in the City of
London, 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 :-
The object of this invention is to make night commodes, sanitary pails or
buckets or the like so that the stercoraceous matter shall be automatically
separated from the urine whereby greater facility is obtained in cleaning and
emptying and from 50 % to 60% of the bad odours arising from the fermentation

page_text: of the liquid and solid matter when together, obviated. By the employment of
this invention, the manufacture of night soil into deodorised manure is greatly
facilitated.
Accorded to this invention we suspend in the sanitary pail or the like, another
vessel of about half the depth of the main one. This second vessel is perforated
at the bottom in order that the urine may run into the main pail, whilst the
stercoraceous matter remains in the second or suspended vessel.
The second vessel may be supported in the main one by means of an annular
flange or otherwise, and in such a way as only to extend about half way down
into the sanitary pail or the like.
We further propose to have the front portion of the suspended vessel partitioned
off so that the urine may pass through this partitioned portion direct into the main
pail or the like without coming into contact with the stercoraceous matter.
And in order that our said invention may be better understood we will now
proceed to describe the same with reference to the sheet of drawings accompanying
this specification in which Fig. 1 shews a top plan of a sanitary pail with our
invention adapted thereto. Fig. 2 shews a section on line A, B, Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 shews section on line C, D, Fig. 1.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the views.
a shews the sanitary pail.
b vessel suspended in the pail a by means of the flange c, d shews perforated
bottom of the vessel b, e shews partition in the vessel b so as to form a separate
compartment in the front of this vessel.
It will readily be seen that the stercoraceous matter will deposit in the vessel b
whilst the urine will pass direct into the pail a through the compartment formed
by the partition e and through the perforations in the bottom d so that the liquid
is kept separate from the solid matter.
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 :-
1. The improvements in or relating to night commodes, sanitary pails or
buckets and the like, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination with a sanitary pail of a vessel of less depth than the main
pail such vessel having a perforated bottom for the purpose set forth.
