page_text: do hereby declare the nature of this inventio. to be as follows :—
This invention has for its object improvements in urinals for barracks and other
buildings.
The improved urinals are intended especially to be erected within and against
an external wall of a building in a passage or other convenient place near
dormatories.
Each urinal consists of a half cylinder of stoneware which is inserted in an
upright position into a corresponding recess in the wall. This half cylinder stands
on a stoneware block let into the recess on the pavement line. The block which
forms a sink, is provided with a forwardly projecting lip and on the under side it
is flanged to give it the requisite strength. A drainage hole in the bottom of the
sink connects by a spigot on the under side of the block with the socket of a
curved pipe passing through the wall to the outer side and there delivering into
an open head fixed against the wall.
The head is connected with a down pipe which descends on the outside of the
building t a sewer connection.
The recess receiving the half cylinder is domed at the top and all around the
recess a stoneware beading may be fixed to form a suitable finish.
A wooden casing with doors in front is provided to close in the urinal during
the day time and when not required for use. Near the top of the casing a venti-
lating pipe of stoneware passes horizontally through the wall; it is provided with
a light flap valve of zica to prevent indraft.

page_text: Improvements in urinals for Barracks and other Buildings.
I, JAMES DOULTON of the Albert Embankment in the County of Surrey, Potter,
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:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in urinals for barracks and other
buildings.
The improved urinals are intended especially to be erected within and against
an external wall of a building in a passage or other convenient place near
dormatories.
Each urinal consists of a half cylinder of stoneware which is inserted in an
upright position into a corresponding recess in the wall. This half cylinder stands
on a stoneware block let into the recess on the pavement line. The block which
forms a sink has a drainage hole in the bottom and it is connected by a spigot on
the under side of the block with the socket of a curved pipe passing through the
wall to the outer side and there delivering into an open head fixed against
the wall.
The head is connected with a down pipe which descends on the outside of the
building to a sewer connection.
The details of the arrangement are shown by the annexed drawings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the urinal.
Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same, and Figure 3 is an horizontal section
at a short distance above the ground line.
a a is the wall upon which the urinal is erected. b is a half cylinder of stone-
ware let into a recess in this wall. c is the block constituting the sink; the half
cylinder b stands upon it. c is the spigot upon the block c entering a socket on
the S pipe d passing through the wall a. e is the head into which the pipe d
deliveru. f is the down pipe leading to a sewer. f¹ is a similar down pipe coming
in from a story above.
The recess in which the half cylinder a is set is closed in above in any con-
venient way; the drawings represent a sinte let in at g to support the brickwork
above. The slate is inclined and immediately beneath it a ventilating pipe h is
inserted through the wall i is a valve box containing a light flap valve of tale or
other material to prevent the entrance of air but permitting an out draft to pass
freely. kare brick piers on either side giving requisite depth to the recess.
1, are stoneware blocks forming a facing on the inner sides of these piers. The
blocks support a cover m which may be fixed or made to lift as indicated in
Figure 2. nn are doors and door frame to shut up the urinal when out of use.
o is a concrete pavement.

page_text: 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 :-
1. The combination in a urinal of the half cylinder of stoneware b and the sink
block c; the said half cylinder being let into a recess in a wall and standing on
the block cat the floor level substantially as described.
2. A urinal substantially as described and represented by the annexed drawings.
