PEACH, Tailor's Assistant, 33 Dumbarton Street, Buckland, Portsmouth, Hants, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
Our invention has reference to the type of pipes generally known as stack pipes, that is
to say such pipes as are usually adapted to walls for the conveying away of rain-
water from the roofs of houses, and which are applicable also as soil and sanitary pipes.
The pipes according to our Invention in their primary application as Stack pipes
which are of any convenient size, length and shape but preferably of D section with
the flat portion thereof resting against the wall may be formed of any suitable material
such for instance as metal, earthenware and the like. Upon one end of each length
of pipe is formed a collar to serve as a socket for the reception of the smaller end of
the next pipe. Upon the back of the socket aforesaid two lateral lugs are formed
having in the under edges two slots or incisions which engage with the nails, bolts or
equivalent attachments driven into the wall for the purpose, the heads of said nails
or bolts serving to prevent the pipes from becoming detached.
"
The sockets upon the upper parts of the pipes are of sufficient depth to allow of
the adjustment of each length to the position of the nails or bolts to allow "striking
the joints of the brickwork when attaching the pipes to a brick or like wall.
The lower length of pipe is suspended to the lowest two nails or bolts, a tongue of
soft metal or similar contrivance having been inserted into the wall, being bent over
the top of the back of each length of pipe when placed in position so as to prevent
vertical movement. The second length is then inserted into the socket of the first
length and suspended by the lateral lugs upon the nails or boits provided, the tongue
being bent over as in the case of the first length, and so on until the desired height is
attained.

page_text: The upper end of the lengths of pipes, which form ledges within the sockets, may,
if desired, be utilised for the support of the length next above, and thus reduce the
strain upon the nails or bolts aforesaid.
From the foregoing it will be seen that in the event of a stoppage in any length of
pipe which may be readily ascertained by the usual method of tapping such length
may be removed with facility without disturbing the other parts of the stack pipe, or
nails or bolts or other fastenings, and replaced after removal of the obstruction.

We WILLIAM HARTLEY, Outfitter 125 Commercial Road, Landport, Hants,
FRANK MUNFORD, Builder 29 New Road, Buckland, Portsmouth, Hants, WALTER
HENRY PEACH, Tailor's assistant 33 Dumbarton Street, Buckland, Portsmouth,
Hants, 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 has reference to the type of pipes generally known as stack pipes,
that is to say, such pipes as are usually adapted to walls for the conveying away
of rainwater from the roofs of houses, and which are applicable also as soil and
sanitary pipes.
In order that our invention may be the better understood we have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings.
The pipes A according to our invention in their primary application as stack
pipes, which are of any convenient size, length and shape:-but preferably of D
section as shown in Figure 8, with the flat portion thereof resting against the
wall, may be formed of any suitable material such for instance as metal, earthen-
ware and the like. At one end of each length of pipe A is formed a collar B to
serve as a socket for the reception of the smaller end of the next pipe. Upon
the back of the socket B aforesaid are two lateral lugs C Figures 1, 2, 3, and to
enlarged scale Figure 12, having in the under edges thereof two slots or incisions a
which engage with the nails, bolts or equivalent attachments & Figures 1 and 2
driven into the wall for the purpose; the heads of said nails or bolts serving to
prevent the pipes from becoming detached.
The sockets B above mentioned upon the upper parts of the pipes A, are of sufficient
depth to allow of the adjustment of each length to the position of the nails or bolts b,
to allow of same "striking" the joints of the brickwork when attaching the pipes
to a brick or like wall.
The lower length of pipe is suspended to the lowest two nails or bolts b, A tongue c of
soft metal or similar contrivance, shown in dotted lines Figure 2, having been attached
to the wall, is bent over the top of each rocket B when placed in position as shown
in Figure 3, so as to prevent vertical movement of the pipes. The second length
is then inserted into the socket B of the first length and suspended, by the lateral
wings or lugs, upon the nails or bolts b, the tongue e being bent over the socket as in
the case of the first length, and so on until the desired height is attained.
The upper ends of the lengths of pipes A, which form ledges d (Figures 2, 3, 8,
9, 10 and 11) within the sockets B may, if desired, be utilised for the support of
the lengths of pipes next above, and thus reduce the strain upon the nails or bolts b
aforesaid.
As an alternative method of suspending the lengths of pipes A, we may form at
the back of the socket B a projection D Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7, having a slot or recess e
formed therein,-bevelled or otherwise as may be desired,-into which slot e takes

page_text: the head of a nail or bolt, which is preferably shaped to correspond with the inner
part of the recess e as shown in Figure 6, and to which nail the length of pipe is
suspended, the soft metal tongue c being bent over in the same manner as in the case
of pipes having the wings or lugs above described.
With a view to the prevention of the passage through the joints of the stack pipe
of noxious vapors, we may employ a loose packing between the ends of the pipes and
sockets B, said packing being retained within the socket by means of a band E
clamped to each length of pipe and resting upon the top of the socket B aforesaid.
From the foregoing it will be seen that in the event of a stopping or choking of
any length of pipe, (which may be readily ascertained by the usual method of tapping),
such length may be removed with facility without disturbing the other parts of the
stack pipe, or nails or other fastenings, and may with equal facility be replaced after
the removal of the obstruction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
A pipe. built up of a number of lengths each of which is provided at one end
with a collar or socket upon which wings or lugs are formed having vertical.
slots or recesses. substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying:
drawings.
