Improvements in and relating to Water-closets and the like.
I HENKY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co. Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to water closets and the like and is designed to improve the
construction of the same.
In carrying the said invention into practice a water closet bowl or pan of any
suitable form is provided having a screw threaded portion upon the lower extremity
thereof adapted to fit into a correspondingly internally screw threaded socket provided
upon a suitable S or half S pipe or trap. The said S or half S pipe or trap is more-
over provided with an internally screw threaded socket upon its other extremity and
is connected to an internally screw threaded socket upon a Y shaped branch or
connecting piece by means of a correspondingly screw threaded branch pipe or nipple.
The said shaped branch or connecting piece is connected to the drain or soil pipe
by means of internally screw threaded sockets or in any other suitable manner.
Although the hereinbefore mentioned S or half S pipe or trap and the Y shaped
branch or connecting piece are described as being provided with internally screw
threaded sockets it is obvious that the said water closet bowl or pan may be provided
with an internally screw threaded socket upon its lower extremity and the S or half' S
pipe or trap with a correspondingly screw threaded extremity adapted to fit into the same.
Moreover the connection between the said S or half S pipe or trap and the hereinbefore
mentioned Y shaped branch or connecting piece may be modified in a like manner.
Instead of the Y shaped branch or connecting piece a piece or a connecting piece
any other suitable form may be employed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Water-closets and the like.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co. Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex 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 water-closets and the like and is designed to improve the
construction of the same.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown how my said invention may be
conveniently and advantageously carried into practice.
Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in vertical section, of a water-closet bowl or pan
and an S or half Strap connected therewith according to my said invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevation showing two water-closet bowls or pans connected one
with a vertical part and the other with a horizontal or nearly horizontal part of the
soil-pipe in accordance with my said invention.
A is the bowl or pan of the watercloset. B is the soil pipe leading therefrom to
the drain or sewer.

page_text: The bowl or pan A may be of any suitable form and is provided with screw
threads A upon the lower extremity or neck thereof adapted to fit into corresponding
internal screw-threads in a socket C provided upon one end of a suitable S or
half S pipe or trap C. The said S or half S pipe or trap C is moreover provided
with an internally screw threaded socket C upon its other end and is connected to an
internally screw threaded socket D' upon a Y shaped branch or connecting piece D
by means of a correspondingly screw threaded branch pipe or
nipple E. The
said Y-shaped branch-pipe or connecting piece D is connected to the drain or soil
pipe B by means of internally screw threaded sockets D2 or in any other suitable
manner.
It is obvious that I can somewhat modify the construction of the several parts of
the
apparatus without departing from the nature of my said invention. For instance,
the shape of the bowl or pan may be varied to adapt it for a urinal or the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I wish it understood that I claim :-
The combination of the water-closet or other bowl or pan, the trap and the
Y-shaped branch-pipe all connected by screw-threads, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
