An Improved Gully Trap.
JOHN WILLIAM PHILLIPS Twyneham Alma Road Winton Bournemouth
Hampshire Joiner 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 refers to an improved square top gully trap. It is applicable to
house or any other drains and has the outlet so constructed at the angle of the trap
that it can be fixed square against the wall at any side of a house or internal angles
and has a direct communication to the drain through a straight pipe, the great
advantage this gully trap has over all others is the outlet being at the same angle
as the Y junction no bendpipes will be required for the connection the object of the
improved system is to pervent any stoppage of sewerage or any other matter as has
hitherto been the case in the bend pipes that are now used for the connections.
The accompanying drawing represent a gully trap constructed according to this
invention as applied to what is known as a square top gully trap but the invention
may of course be applied to traps in other forms.
Figure 1 is an elevation,
Figure 2 is a vertical section and
Figure 3 is a plan or horizontal section.
A is the opening by which the water or sewerage passes there is deep flange at
the top of trap as shown on Figure 1 to pervent any water from flowing over, the
water which has entered by the opening A fills the bottom and there is a piece B
as shown clearly in Figure 2 which forms the trap, the outlet D as shown clearly
in Figure 1 give a direct and free passage to the Ỷ junction connected to the sewer
by a straight pipe shown clearly in Figure 3 there is a square perferated loose
top E that fits in between the top flanges to allow water to pass through to give
access to and to clean out bottom of same as shown clearly in Figure 3.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1. In square top gully traps the position of outlet such as D arranged substan-
tially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described.
2. In square top gully traps with the opening or outlet so constructed at the
angle substantially as herein before described.

page_text: 3. A square top gully trap arranged or constructed substantially as herein before
described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
