PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in House or Sewer Drains.
I, EDWARD TURNER, of 36 Saint James' Road, Liverpool, Painter &c. do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to house or sewer drains; the device in accordance with
which I propose to term a combined D or bell trap, in which, the base or container
of the drain is made up of either cast iron, porcelain, earthenware or the like, and
the outlet or discharge pipe, extends about half way up to the top of same, and is
placed at an angle of 45 degrees instead of at right angles as has heretofore been
the case, to allow of the easier removal of any substances that may choke or stop
the free passage in the sewer pipes.
In accordance with my invention I also provide a D or bell shaped trap which
fits over and around the outlet or discharge pipe, and so prevents any choking
substances from entering the sewer pipes. This D or bell shaped trap may be
attached to the grid of the drain at the hinged end, so that it will remain in position
upon the grid being opened to get access to the base or container; or, it may be
connected to the unhinged end of the grid, so that upon same being raised it lifts
the trap with it, and so exposes the outlet or discharge pipe to view; or, otherwise,
it may be in a separate picce, resting on one side of the base or container of the
drain.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in House or Sewer Drains.
1, EDWARD TURNER, of 36 Saint James' Road, Liverpool, Painter &c. 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 house or sewer drains the device in accordance with which
I propose to term a combined D and bell trap.
And in order that my invention may be the better understood I have appended
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a drain fitted with the device according to
my invention and Figure 2 is a plan of same and Figure 3. a side view showing the
trap and grid raised.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several
views.
Now in accordance with my invention the base or container A which is of five
sided formation is made up either of cast iron, porcelain earthenware or the like,
and the outlet or discharge pipe C extends about half way up to the mouth of the
base or container and is placed at an angle of forty five degrees instead of at right
angles as has heretofore been the case, this allows of the easier removal of any
substances that may choke or stop the free passage in the sewer pipes. I also
provide a bell trap B which fits over and around the outlet or discharge pipe C,
this trap B is attached to the block piece G upon which latter is hinged the
grid D.
Said block piece G. is hinged to the inner frame E which latter is hinged
at the other end as shown at f to the outer frame F, so that when it is necessary to
T7

page_text: remove any mud or sediment collected in the base or container A. the grid D can
be lifted up without removing the trap B; but, when it is necessary to remove the
trap in order to get at the sewer pipes, the grid only is first raised and thereafter
with it the inner frame E and the trap B, until the latter is clear of the discharge
pipe C, when the inner frame E is lowered into its proper position, and the grid D
and trap B are turned over as shown Figure 3.
House or sewer drains provided with the device according to my invention will
be found to be more healthy than drains now in use as when it is required to remove
any mud or sediment from the bottom of same; the trap is always in its proper
position, thus shutting out all obnoxious smells from entering the base or container
and ascending into the atmosphere.
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 is
The improvements in house or sewer drains as herein set forth and shown in the
-accompanying sheet of drawings.
