Complete Specification Left, 6th Dec., 1897-Accepted, 5th Feb., 1898
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Flushing Tank or Waste Water Preventer.
ALFRED CLIFFORD, Claremont House, Hawley Road, nr. Dartford, Kent, Plumber
and Sanitary Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:

ܕ ܇
My Invention consists of a trunk shaped receptacle A the top part of which
is joined to discharge pipe B this receptacle A or chamber is curved in form
and of such a radius and size as to allow a plunger C of corresponding radius to
work within it, this plunger is attached by any convenient means to a bracket
or crank D which works on a centre (and which is the centre of the radius above
mentioned). The reverse end of bracket or crank to which the plunger is
attached is perforated for the attachment of a chain or wire E which works with
either cranks or pulley wheels over end of tank and terminates with ring or
handle for pulling and syphoning the water out. It will be seen that the action
is simple, on the handle or ring being pulled raises one end of bracket or crank
and forces the plunger into receptacle and drives the water down discharge
pipe, and on the handle being released the apparatus resumes its former position
automatically and the tank refills.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
The particular shape of the apparatus as herein before described, the plunger
and its attachment to bracket or crank and the action of the same, the combina-
tion of the whole, and I do not confine myself to the nature of material to be used
in the construction of same.
