I LORENTZ ALBERT GROTH K.G.V. Civil Engineer and Proprietor of the Patent
Industrial and Financial Agency 30 Finsbury Pavement London E.C. do hereby
declare the nature of said invention for A NEW OR IMPROVED HEATING AND DIS-
INFECTING APPARATUS FOR URINALS OR PRIVYS a communication to me from
abroad by Ludwig Gühring and. Wilhelm Kohrer Gentlemen of the City of
Stuttgart Kingdom of Wurtemburg German Empire to be as follows:—
The object of this invention is to construct privys & on a more hygienic
principle than heretofore and consists principally in preventing the excrements
freezing in winter and in disinfecting them by submitting the vapours to the
power of heated gas.
Under the seat of a common privy and in the cess pipe a gas pipe is placed
provided on its surface with holes through which the gas escapes and is lighted.
A sheet of iron placed above this gas pipe serves as a guard against the heat of .
the gas and a lid to the privy.
Instead of gas any suitable substance may be used a proper inlet being
arranged.
The gas pipe may also be placed round a trunk of cylindrical or other suitable
form extending down into the cess pipe having its upper part enlarged so as to be
easily fixed on the cess pipe.
The
The trunk is provided with small holes through which the heated air is dis-
charged The vapours from the cess pipe rise and pass through a space between
the cess pipe and the trunk to the burning gas where disinfection ensues.
trunk can be made of cast iron sheet or earthenware placed direct on the cess pipe
The gas pipe may also be placed over the seat of the privy or under the cess
pipe without any special arrangements being required.

I LORENTZ ALBERT GROTH K.G.V. Civil Engineer and proprietor of the Patent
Industrial and Financial Agency 30 Finsbury Pavement London E.C. do hereby
declare the nature of said invention for A. NEW OR IMPROVED HEATING AND DIS-
INFECTING APPARATUS FOR URINALS OR PRIVYS a communication to me from
abroad by Ludwig Gühring and Wilhelm Kohrer Gentlemen of the City of
Stuttgart Kingdom of Wurtemburg German Empire and in what manner the same
is to be performed to particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
The object of this invention is to construct privy's &c on a more hygienic
principle than heretofore and consists principally in preventing the excrements
freezing in winter and in disinfecting them by submitting the vapours to the
power of heated gas.
Under the seat of a common privy and in the cess pipe a a gas pipe b is placed.
Fig. 1. provided on its surface with holes through which the gas escapes and is
lighted. A sheet of iron c placed above this gas pipe serves as a guard against the
beat of the gas and a lid to the privy. Instead of gas any suitable substance may
be used a proper inlet being arranged.
The gas pipe may also be placed round a trunk of cylindrical or other suitable
form d Fig. 4 extending down into the cess pipe having its upper part d enlarged
so as to be easily fixed to the cess pipe.
The
The trunk is provided with small holes through which the heated air is dis-
charged. The vapours from the cess pipe rise and pass through a space z between
the cess pipe and the trunk to the burning gas where disinfection ensues
trunk may be made of cast sheet iron or earthenware placed directly on the cess
pipe The gas pipe may also be placed over the seat of the privy or under the cess
pipe without any special arrangements being required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be carried into effect I declare that
what I claim is
1. The heating and disinfecting apparatus for privy's consisting of a gas pipe b
with holes on its upper surface placed under the seat of the privy and covered by
a guard plate c in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
2. The arrangement of the cylindrical trunk d' with its upper part d enlarged,.
surrounded by the gas pipe b with a space z into which the vapours pass and are
disinfected.
