Improvements in Flushing Syphone..
MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Sanitary Engineer, Park Lane Sanitary Works, Leeds, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
1
My improvements consist in the mode adopted for relieving the air pressure
within a deep trapped flushing syphon for the purpose of setting up syphonic dis-
charge when the liquid in the tank which it is desired to withdraw by the
syphon has come sufficiently high over the top of syphon--and the mode I adopt
is to place one or more webs or divisions across the diameter of deep trap, the
said webs or divisions following the bend of the syphon deep trap in such a
manner that the sectional area of the syphon trap is divided into two or more
Брасев which spaces form traps or seals of varying depth aid in the discharge of
air from within the syphon and so secure a quick setting up of syphonic action.

Improvements in Flushing Syphons.
I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Engineer, Park Lane Sanitary Works, Leeds, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
U
As described in my Provisional my object is to so divide the trap or outlet of a
deep sealed syphon that there may two or more passage ways or water exits
through the same and this division is made so that the two or more exit ways
so formed each of which is in effect a trapped outlet for discharge of liquid may
vary somewhat in depth so that at the moment of setting up syphonic action the
air from within the syphon shall be expelled through the trap of least depth or
resistance. The syphon shewn is placed in any vessel, or chamber and by reason
of the retention of liquid in the deep trap see E drawing Fig. 1 the air within
syphon A is confined the dome B closing in the top of syphon.
The syphon is fixed usually in a tank or vessel the bottom of which will be at
flange D and the level of liquid in tank as it is fed to same will rise until about
the line J is reached but any sufficient height above lip K will answer my purpose.
By properly proportioning the dome of syphon I arrange that the air within the
game shall be forced out through the trap E when a sufficiently high water level

page_text: is reached and this air escapes much more effectively by reason of the divisions
or water ways named which are shewn on drawing where although I shew but
two only I may use more if I so desire. At Fig. 1 GG HH it will be seen that
these water ways are formed by the web F and in the plan shewn at Fig. 2 the
same lettering is adopted, at C I shew the outlet from trap at M I shew a connec-
tion to the side of syphon broken away partly that the connection to tube N may
be seen the tube N is closed by the dome or cap O this arrangement is of service
for ingress and egress of air after and before syphonic discharge.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I olaim is:
1st. Such a division of a trap in a deep sealed syphon that there shall be two
or more discharging orifices of unequal resistance or depth of water seal.
2nd The use of a syphon having a deep water seal at its outlet such deep seal
being divided into two or more water ways by webs divisions or other equivalent
means.
3rd. The arrangement of syphon as described and illustrated or its equivalent
though differing in conformity substantially the same.
