improvements in water Waste Flushing Cisterns.
JOHN WEST 3 Glen Street Hampstead Road London do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
By making Cistern as illustrated and suspending it on its axis to oscillate inside
of a outer cistern.
When the Cistern is empty the part A is the lightest when charged with water it is
the heaviest this causes it to oscillate, the leaver catch B. holds it ready to be charged,
the water is supplied over back of cistern with ball valve in the usual way.
When charged the leaver B can be pulled down and the catch leaves the cistern to
oscillate and empt the water into outer cistern which immediately passes down the
pipe C and the cistern oscillate back to the leaver catch B. the overflow passes down
pipe D. through axis and out back of cistern. The pipe C is made to give a steady
after flush with holes near bottom of cistern.
The leaver B can be fixed on either side or end of cistern as required.
See Drawings 1 sheet.

page_text: JOHN WEST 3 Glen Street Hampstead Road London 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:-
By making Cistern as illustrated and suspending it on its axis io oscillate inside of
the outer cistern.
The outside cistern to be made as drawing shews, or straight front.
The inside cistern to be made as drawing shews and suspended on its axis in outside
cistern so as the part marked A. is much the lightest when the cistern is charged
with water the part marked A. is much the heaviest, the leaver catch B. holds it up
when charged.
The water is supplied with ball valve in the usual way near top of cistern the
overflow passes down pipe d. through axis and out back of cistern.
When the inside cistern is charged with water a chain attached to leaver B. can be
pulled down and the catch leaves the cistern to oscillate and discharge the water into
outside cistern which immediately passes down pipe c. and the cistern oscillate back
to the catch B. The pipe c is made with small holes in side and fixed standing up in
bottom of outside cistern so as to give a quick flush and a steady after flush.
See Drawing with form B. one sheet.
Figure 1 A shews heaviest end of inside cistern when charged with water.
B shows catch holding up cistern.
C shews flushing out-let pipe.
D shews inlet to over-flow pipe.
E shews inside cistern discharging water into outside cistern.
Figure 2 shews flushing out-let pipe.
D shews out-let to overflow pipe.
To be manufactored in metal or otherwise to contain two Gallons.or more as
required.
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 claim is
First. In making inside cistern the shape shewn on Drawing.and fixing axis (with
overflow pipe) in a certain position so as to make it oscillate when suspended.
Second. In placing out-let pipe with small holes in same standing up in the
bottom of outside cistern to give a quick flush and a steady after flush.
Dated this 7th day of August 1888.
