Improvements in the Method of and in Apparatus for Automatically
Injecting Fluids into the Flush and Waste Pipes of Closets,
Urinals, Baths, Sinks, and the like.
We WILLIAM HENRY HAMMOND of Horbury near Wakefield, Sanitary Inspector,
and ALFRED PICKLES, of City Soap Works, Wakefield, Soap Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to supply liquid disenfectants automatically to the
flush and waste pipes of closets, urinals, baths, sinks, and the like, from a small
cistern placed in any convenient and handy position, near the flush, or waste pipes.
We employ a cistern (distinct from the flushing cistern) of any suitable material,
at the bottom of which is a small vessel, or box, in the said box is a syphon passing
upwards to the top, and then downwards to the flush or waste pipe, the box is also
provided with an air pipe, and a feed pipe or hole, from the supply cistern or tank.
The action of the water passing down the waste or flush pipe from the flushing
cistern causes the syphon to draw off the liquid disenfectant from the box and to
eject or discharge it into the flush pipe in quantities which can be regulated by
the size of box.

page_text: DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 shows front elevation of my apparatus applied to a water closet.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section of cistern and apparatus.
We employ a cistern A distinct from the flushing cistern B, of any suitable
material, at the bottom of which is a small vessel or box C; in the said box is a
syphon D passing upward to the top and then downward by tube E to the flush pipe F
or waste pipe, the box is also provided with an air pipe G and a feed pipe or hole H
from the supply cistern or tank.
The action of the water passing down the waste or flush pipe from the flushing
cistern causes the syphon to draw off the liquid disinfectant from the box and to
eject or discharge it into the flush pipe during and after each flush, in quantities
which can be regulated by the size of the box.
"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
.1. Automatically injecting any required quantity of any liquid disinfectants
during and after each flush to the supply or waste pipes of closets, urinals, baths;
sinks, or other flushing apparatus, as shown and described.
2. The combination of apparatus for automatically injecting any required quantity
of disinfectants," consisting of the cistern A, the box C, air tube G, and syphon Ď
passing to the flush or waste pipe, as and for the purposes shown and described.
