We, WILLIAM HENRY BARKER, and GEORGE BARKER, of King Street, Fenton, in
the County of Stafford, Tool Makers, do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE AND CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSEHOLD AND
SANITARY SINKS, AND URINALS AND SIMILAR VESSELS, to be as follows:-
Our invention chiefly relates to the kind of metal employed and the method of
construction adopted in all kinds of Household and Sanitary sinks, urinals, and.
fixed receptacles for waste water, also for Hoppers, Manger Troughs and similar
hollow vessels.
At present these sinks, urinals and receptacles are usually made either of stone-
ware or of cast-iron both of which are heavy cumbrous and brittle and cousequently
open to many objections.
Our improvements consist in substituting stampings of rolled or wrought sheet
metal for cast metal in the construction of such sinks and urinals, such stamped
wrought sheet metal being strengthened where desired by clips, squares, stays, rods
or brackets of forged iron or of cast maleable iron.
In the construction of our improved stamped sinks and urinals we employ rolled
sheets or strips of sheet steel or iron, copper, brass, lead, zinc, or other metal or
combination of metals.
This stamped metal is preferably enamelled, but can when preferred be
galvanized, tinned, nickel-plated, electro-bronzed, or in some other way coated or
ornamented so as to prevent oxydation, or to present an artistic appearance.
In order to give the sinks and receptacles the necessary stiffness or strength the
metal can also be fluted, curved or corrugated when required, and it may be fitted
to iron or steel frames in such a manner as to prevent the lodgement of stagnant
matter around or beneath.
In order to obtain the size and shape required we press or force the metal to the
pattern required by means of rollers or presses, dies or stamps, or by a combination
of these as preferred.

page_text: We construct our sinks and receptacles either of one piece of sheet metal, or of
several pieces or sections so contrived as to form a complete whole when soldered or
cemented together.
We also fit the aforesaid sinks or receptacles with stench traps when required
and with pipes made of metal or earthenware as preferred. .
hold and Sanitary Sinks and Urinals and similar Vessels..
We, WILLIAM HENRY BARKER, and GEORGE BARKER, of King Street, Fenton, in
the County of Stafford, Tool-makers, 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 :-
Our invention chiefly relates to the kind of metal employed and the method of
construction adopted in the manufacture of all kinds of Household and Sanitary
Sinks, Urinals, and fixed receptacles for waste water, also for Hoppers, Mangers,
Troughs and similar hollow vessels.
At present these sinks, Urinals and receptacles are usually made either of stone-
ware or cast-iron both of which are heavy cumbrous, and brittle and consequently
open to many objections.
Our improvement consists in substituting stampings of rolled or wrought sheet
metal, for cast metal in the construction of such Sinks or Urinals, such stamped
wrought sheet metal being strengthened where desired by clips, squares, stays,
rods or brackets of forged iron or of cast maleable iron. In the construction of our
improved stamped Sinks and Urinals we employ rolled sheet or strips preferably
sheet, of steel or of iron copper, brass, zinc, or other suitable metal or combination
of metals.
This stamped metal is preferably enamelled, but can when preferred be galvanized,
tinned, nickel-plated, electro-bronzed, or in some other way coated or ornamented
so as to prevent oxydation or to present an artistic appearance. In order to give
the sinks and receptacles the necessary stiffness or strength the metal can also be
fluted, curved or corrugated when required and in may be fitted to iron or steel
frames, in such a manner as to prevent the lodgement of stagment matter around
or beneath. In order to obtain the size and shape required we press or force the

combination of these as preferred. We construct our sinks and receptacles either
of one piece of sheet metal, or of several pieces or sections so contrived as to form
a complete whole when soldered or cemented together.
We also fit the aforesaid sinks or receptacles with stench traps when required,
and with pipes, made of metal or earthenware as preferred.
In the accompanying drawings:-
Figs I. II, and III shew sinks of different patterns.
Fig. IV shews a lavatory basin.
Figa V and VI shews two descriptions of Urinals.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:—
The construction of sinks, urinals and other fixed receptacles for waste water, and
of troughs, hoppers, and similar stationary hollow vessels of stamped or pressed
sheet steel, or other suitable rolled or wrought metal, as herein explained and
Bet forth.
