page_text: I JAMES CRAIG of the firm of J & M Crng Hillhead & Perceton Fire-clay Works
and Longpark Sanitary Pottery, Kilmarnock, in the County of Ayr, do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows
This Invention relates to flush out water closet basins and it has for its object to
improve the arrangement of the fins of such bisins so is to distribute separate
currents for flushing out the contents and for cleansing the sides of the basın Under
one arrangement the improved fan has cast upon the bick of it a rused portion which
extends from the flushing 11m, where it may be curvilinear, down to the lower edge of
the fan the said portion bearing against the interior surface of the basin and enclosing
a space which is shut off from communication with the space between the remunder
of the fan and the interior surface of the basın The water supplied through the inlet
horn or branch is divided by the raised rib on the back of the fan, one portion of the
current being directed to the outlet at the bottom of the fan to wash away the contents
of the bisin, whilst the other portion of the current supplies water to the outer
enclosed space between the fan and the interior of the basin from whence the water
flows through a series of holes or apertures made at the edges of the fan the effect
of which is that these water currents sweep around and cleanse the sides of the basın
Besides the said holes in the edges of the tan a series of holes are made in its
flushing rim through which water flows downwards to cleanse the surface of the fan
itself
Under modification the raised ribs on the back of the fan may be dispensed with
in which case a horizontal slot or an aperture or series of apertures is or are made in
the lower edge of the fin to supply the flushing out current and in addition to or in
substitution of the said slot or aperture or apertures a horizontal slot, or two or more
holes may be made in the face of the fan near its lower edge to supply witer for the
like purpose

Improvements in Flush Out Water Closet Basins
I, JAMES CRAIG of the firm of J & M Crug, Hillhead & Perceton Fire-clay
Works and Longpark Sanitary Pottery Kilmarnock, in the County of Ayr, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and iscertained in and by the following
statement
This Invention relates to flush out water closet basins and it has for its object to
improve che arrangement of the fars of such basins so as to distribute separate
Curients for flushing out the contents and for cleansing the sides of the busin Under
one arrangement seen in front elevation at figure 1 and in transverse section at
figure 2 of the annexed drawings the improved tin his cast upon the back of it a
rused portion a which catends from the division in the inlet horn e own to the
lower edge c of the fan the said raised portion being attached to or bearing against
the interior surface of the basin d and enclosing space which is shut off from com-
munication with the space between the remainder of the fan and the interior surfice
of the busin The water supplied through the inlet horn or branche is divided by
the raised rib a on the back of the fan and by the diaphragm fextending across the
branche one portion of the current being directed to the outlet it the bottom c of the
fun to wash away the contents of the bisin, whilst the other portion of the current
supplies water to the outer enclosed space g between the fan and the interior of the
bisin from whence the water flows through a series of holes or pertures made at
the edges of the fan the effect of which is that these water currents sweep around
and cleanse the sides of the basın Besides the sad holes in the edges of the fan a
series of holes are made at ? in the upper part 6 through which water flows downwards
to cleanse the surface of the fan itself
b
Under modification the raised ribs a on the back of the fan may be dispensed with
the flushing out current being supplied to the basin through the horizontal slot or
aperture cat the lower edge of the ran or through a series of such apertures and in
any case there may, in addition to or in substitution of the said slot or slots c, be
provided, a horizontal slot, or two or more holes in the face of the fan near its lower
edge as seen at k, to supply water for the like purpose
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
claim 18
-
1 In a flush out water closet basın a fan arranged to distribute separate currents
for flushing out the contents and for cleansing the sides of the basin, substantially as
herein before described

page_text: 2 In a flush out water closet basin a fan having a raised portion on the back of it
said portion bearing on or attached to the interior surface of the basin and serving to
divide the water current into two portions substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described
3 In a fan for water closet basins the combination of a raised portion a on the
back a series of holes in the upper part a series of holes at the edges and a
slot or series of slots c at the lower end with or without the addition of a super-
posed slot or series of lots & substantially as and for the purpose herein before
described
