PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Sanitary Closet Basin and Trap.
HENRY HERBERT COLLETT 77, Myrdle Street, Commercial Road London E.
Sanitary Engineer Plumber etc. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to an improved sanitary closet basin and trap in two
pieces on the wash down principle, the outlet of the basin and the top part of the
trap which forms the joint between the basin and the trap, is so constructed as to
allow the water to be high up nearer the top of the basin, also giving a larger area
of surface of water, thereby allowing the excreta to fall free of the sides direct
into the water. This result is obtained by forming the outlet of basin (which has
a straight back) without the ordinary spigot, and enlarging the ring or socket on
the inlet of the trap, by this means the basin is shortened and the top of the trap
enlarged to allow for the bulged part near the outlet of basin to rest lower down in
the trap, and so that the trap may be turned round to suit any position, thereby
causing the water contained in the trap to stand at a higher level (nearer the top)
within the basin.
The result of this being in accordance with the requirements of leading sanitary
authorities.
A foot is formed on the under side of the trap to make up the proper height.
All existing basins and traps in two pieces have (to my knowledge) their water
line much lower away from the top of basin, and a less area of water.
The object of this invention is to produce a sanitary closet of the required
configuration at a small cost.
