My invention relates to an improved and reliable method of connecting and
jointing "sewer
gas water or any pipes where water or gas tight
joints are necessary and to insure a perfect joint by means of "lead," cement
any composition that may be conveniently used for making the said joints.

gas," water," or any pipes, the said socket having a runner or feeding hole for
the purpose of filling the said grooves and making a complete joint: the corre-
sponding grooves in spigot and socket when in position are directly opposite each
other and give an area that will admit any liquid material being poured in and fill
up the said anular space or groove through the runner or feeding hole in socket.
Having now explained the principles of this invention what I claim is the
method of jointing pipes by means of grooves with runners or feeding holes for
filling the same and making a solid ring or grummett as herein described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Joints for Sewer, Drain, Gas, Water, and
other Pipes.
I JOSEPH WEEKS of 31 Windsor Terrace Totterdown Bristol in the County of
Somerset Builder, 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 :-

"
My invention relates to an improved and reliable method of connecting and
jointing sewer drain " gas or any kind of pipes where water or gas tight
joints are necessary and to insure a perfect joint by means of lead: cement or any
composition that may be necessary or conveniently used for making the said joints.
In carrying my invention into effect I form a groove on the inside of the socket
of an ordinary sewer," drain" gas or water pipe and a corresponding groove on
the spigot of the said pipe these grooves are so placed that when two pipes are
put together the said grooves come directly opposite each other thus forming an
anular space of sufficient area to admit lead cement or any composition to be poured
or fed through a runner or feeding hole at the top: thus completely joining the
two pipes with a solid ring or grummett.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will shew aided by
the accompanying drawings how I accomplish the same.
Figure 1 is a section of the two pipes in position.
B is a view of the groove in socket.
Figure 2 is a section through C, D, Figure 1.
"A" shews the joint filled.

page_text: Figure 3 is a view of the pipes jointed up. E shews the feeding hole or runner.
A shews the groove on spigot.
Figure 4 is an end view of the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed: 1 declare that what I
claim is
The method of jointing pipes by means of grooves in sockets and spigots with
runner or feeding hole for filling the same and making a solid ring or grummett
substantially and as for the purpose herein described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
Dated this 27th day of December 1892.
