PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Water Closets.
I, HERBERT EDWIN BADEN, of 42 Godolphin Road, Uxbridge Road, in the
County of Middlesex, Sanitary Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to syphon closets in which the space between the two
traps is connected to a nozzle or opening in the pipe leading from the water waste
preventer to the basin so that when the closet is used the rush of water down
this pipe draws the air from the space and assists in starting the syphonic action.
Closets of this class as hitherto made have been clumsy in appearance and have
involved a multiplicity of plumbing joints.
According to this invention I remedy these defects by forming the trap at the
bottom of the pipe from the water waste preventer and the chamber for the after
flush in one piece with the basin in the manner shown in the accompanying
drawing.
In this drawing a is the pipe leading from the water waste preventer 6 the trap
at its lower end, ca pipe leading from this trap to the open air, d the chamber
for the after flush and e the pipe by which the air is sucked from between the
traps on the pipe leading from the basin.
Dated this 1st day of December 1894.
Improvements in Water Closets.
I, HERBERT EDWIN BADEN, of 42 Godolphin Road, Uxbridge Road, in the
County of Middlesex, Sanitary Engineer, 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 relates to syphon closets in which the space between the two
traps is connected to a nozzle or opening in the pipe leading from the water waste
preventer to the basin so that when the closet is used the rush of water down this
pipe draws the air from the space and assists in starting the syphonic action.
Closets of this class as hitherto made have been clumsy in appearance and have
involved a multiplicity of plumbing joints and have generally required an afterflush
cistern.
According to this invention 1 remedy these defects by forming the trap at the
bottom of the pipe from the water waste preventer and the chamber for the after-
flush in one piece with the basin in the manner shown in the accompanying
drawing.
In this drawing a is the pipe leading from the water waste preventer, a' is a
strainer in this pipe which serves to break up the column of water, & the trap at
its lower end, ca pipe leading from this trap to the open air, d the chamber for the
afterflush and e the pipe by which the air is sucked from between the traps on the
pipe leading from the basin.

page_text: 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:
-
1. Forming the trap at the bottom of the pipe from the water waste preventer
and the chamber for the after flush in one piece with the basin substantially as
described.
2. Water closets substantially as described and shown in the drawings.
Dated this 15th day of July 1895.
