In carrying my invention into effect I provide the plug with an inclined projection'
around the circumference of its side and extending down about half the depth of the
plug the socket being provided with an inclined mouth to fit the plug by which
means the plug can at any time be readily withdrawn however tightly it may have
been pressed into the socket while it is perfectly watertight even when simply
dropped into the, socket., I may vary the angle of inclination of the projection
or collar formed upon the plug with its corresponding inclined seating in the
socket.

Improvements in Waste Plugs for Lavatories, Sinks, Baths, and
other purposes.
I, ALFRED JONES, of Oozells Street North, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention has for its object improvements in waste plugs for lavatories, sinks,
baths and other purposes by which I obviate the tendency of the plug to become
wedged within the socket or well which frequently occurs with the ordinary plugs
and sockets.
-
In carrying my invention into effect I provide the plug with an inclined
projection around the circumference of its side and extending down about half
the depth of the plug, the socket being provided with an inclined mouth to fit the
plug by which means the plug can at any time be readily withdrawn however
tightly it may have been pressed into the socket while. it is perfectly water tight
even when simply dropped into the socket. I may vary the angle of inclination
of the projection or collar formed upon the plug with its corresponding inclined
seating in the socket.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and easily carried into
practical e
Feffort I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which one of

page_text: my plugs is illustrated but it must be distinctly understood, that the general
configuration may be greatly varied so long as the top bevel of the plug is made to
that or a very similar taper or bevel.
Figure 1. is a sectional elevation of one of my plugs and sockets together or in
the closed position.
Dist
Figure 2. ise plan of the same as show by Figure 1. in elevation,
The seating A is fixed in the bottom of the sink, bath, cistern or other vessel as
usual but instead of having a recess or sides with a very gradual taper all the
way down has the short taper a at the top of the recess only and the plug B
has a corresponding taper piece at the neck extending from 6 to 63 the lower portion
of the plug B being entirely free not. fitting, against the socket at all. The
socket A has the usual holes as shown and the flange a¹ for bedding in the sink or
other vessel. With this my new plug and seat the slightest pull of the chain C
liberates the plug and there is no liability, to stick.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claini is: .:
