PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Siphon Arrangement for Water Closets or other
Suitable Cisterns.
I CHARLES HENRY KITCHING, of 22 Pryme Street, Hull, in the County of
York, Registered Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to-be.as
follows:
The object of my invention is to make an improved construction of siphon
arrangement for cisterns, whereby I obtain a better flush, thus thoroughly scouring:
the pot and cleaning it of excreta.
I make the valve way and siphon connection in the form of a breechespiece,.
being preferably semicircular or almost semicircular in shape, being nicely rounded
and having no sharp corners or projections to impede the progress of the water
when the valve opens for flushing purposes as in the ordinary construction of
siphon.
The said breechespiece is made preferably about one inch wider in diameter in.
the valve way, than the siphon proper, diminishing in width towards its bottom.
end, the said siphon.is preferably screwed into the bent part of the breechespiece
opposite to the valve way.
The tail of the breechespiece is made in the centre underneath, and has a flange.
on it which fits against the cistern bottom inside, it is cast or made in one piece
with the breechespiece, the flushing pipe is connected to this tail and is carried
down into the closet.
When wanting to flush the closet, the handle or the like is pulled, and an
instantaneous flush is obtained, as the valve way being wider than the- siphon
proper, and diminishing at its lower end, the water goes with great force into
the flushing pipe, which causes the siphon to act immediately, the water rushing.
down with great velocity, there being no abrupt turns to impede its progress.
The whole apparatus can be made in brass or any suitable metal.
Dated this Second day of October 1894.

Suitable Cisterns.
I, CHARLES HENRY KITCHING of 22 Pryme Street, Hull in the County of
York, Registered Plumber, 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 my invention is to make an improved construction of siphon
arrangement for cisterns, whereby I obtain a better flush, thus thoroughly scouring
the pot and cleaning it of excreta or other deposits.

page_text: DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. shows a sectional elevation of my improved siphon arrangement for water
closet cisterns and the like.
I preferably construct the valvo way and siphon connection in the form of a
breeches piece A, preferably semicircular or almost semicircular in shape, nicely
rounded and having no. sharp.corners or projections to impede the progress of the
water when the valve Bopens for flushing purposes, as in the ordinary construction
of siphon.
The said breeches piece is made wider in.diameter in the valve way C, than the
siphon proper D, diminishing in width towards its bottom end, the said siphon is
preferably sorewed into the bent part of the breeches piece opposite, to the valve
way..
The tail of the breeches piece E, is formed in the centre underneath.and. has a
fange F upon it, which fits against the cistern bottom inside, and-is cast or made in
one piece with the breechies piece, the flushing pipe G. is connected to this tail and
is carried down into the closet.
When wanting to flush. the closet, the handle or the like is pulled, and' an
instantaneous flush, is obtained, as the valve way being. wider than the siphon
proper, and diminishing at its lower end, the water rushies with great force into the
flushing pipe which causes the siphon to act immediately, the water passing, down.
with great velocity, there being no corners to impede its progress.
The whole apparatus.can be made in brass or any suitable metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
Constructing, the breechies piece A in one piece, and having the valve way wider
in diameter than the syphon proper, and formed of suitable curved section without
sharp corners, and having the tail of breeches piece in the centre underneath, a
and for the purposes substantially as shown and described.
