Moulder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An Improved gully and trap to prevent the escape of Sewer gases, to prevent dirt
getting into drains.
An easy, quick and effective method of Cleansing sinks and gullies.
Water is always standing in pipes and Jacket A Fig. 1, so that the gas cannot
escape without great pressure, the gully or sink is made to fit easily into the Jacket,
which facilitates taking out, and emptying of dirt when necessary, it stands upon
studs B Fig. 2, to allow the water to go all round the outside, and is butted C Fig. 2
to fit closely to Jacket. The Bell D Fig. 1, binders dirt from entering the pipes, and
thus avoids choking; but if any rubbish or dirt perchance gets in, it can be easily
dislodged and removed by taking the gully or sink out.
The grate is hinged E Fig. 1, into the Jacket at end, which prevents it from sticking
fast with dirt, with a lug F Fig. 1 at other end for raising.

Moulder 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-
An improved gully and trap to prevent the escape of sewer gases.
To prevent dirt getting into drains, an easy, quick and effective method of cleansing
sinks and Gullies.
Referring to the drawings accompanying my provisional specification.
Water is always standing in pipes and Jacket A fig. 1, so that the gas cannot
escape.
The gully or sink is made to fit easily into the Jacket which facilitates taking out
and emptying of dirt, when necessary. It stands upon studs B fig. 2, to allow the
water to go all round outside, and is butted C fig. 2, to fit closely to Jacket. The
Bell D fig. 1, hinders dirt from entering the pipes, and thus avoids choking, but if
any rubbish or dirt, perchance gets in it can be easily dislodged and removed by
taking the gully or sink out. The grate is hinged E. fig. 1, into the Jacket at end,
which prevents from sticking fast with dirt, with lug F fig. 1. at other end for
raising.
My gully or sink possesses great advantages as the dust cannot get into the syphon
pipes to absorb the water during hot and dry weather.
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 Bell D fig. 1, to hinder dirt from entering the internal pipe, A. fig. 1, and
thus avoid choking of drains, and by its being down in the water acts as a most
effective grease trap. Small holes in the said Bell, near the neck, draws off the air and
allows the water to enter syphon pipe.
2-The internal pipe A fig. 1, in gully or sink, which forms a syphon trap, and
the internal Case, or sink, the receptacle for dirt, with handles for lifting out of
Jacket.
3-The space between Jacket and Gully, that when the gully or sink is removed
for Cleansing, the water in space between Jacket and gully and the water in syphon
pipes A fig. 1, falls into the bottom of Jacket, thus the Jacket of Gully or sink is
trapped. When the gully or sink is replaced in the Jacket the water rises up to the
top of the syphon pipe A fig. 1, and space between Jacket and gully or sink, so that
whether the gully or sink is in or out, it is trapped.
