PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Water Waste Preventers.
I, THOMAS GANGE, Senior, of 47, Queen Street, Newton Abbot, in the County of
Devonshire, Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
-
My invention relates to improvements in water waste preventers.
Waste preventers in the market at present are extremely noisy when discharging
their contents. Now my invention is that the discharge from the cylinder is
absolutely noiseless, and so does away with the obnoxious noise of those waste
preventers now in use. Of course being valveless the expense for future repair
is greatly minimised.
This invention is constructed with a metallic tank having the usual ball lever
inlet and a suitable overflow. Beneath the inlet I provide a curved fan shaped
spreader which dips towards the bottom of the tank in order to prevent noise
by the inflow of water when charging the tank. In or about the centre of the
bottom of the tank I place a cylindrical tube with a sealed cover at the top and
a flanged open base. Before soldering the cover to the cylindrical tube I insert
a trumpet shaped flanged tube screwed at one end with a male thread and through
an opening I pass the said tube and to which I connect on the outside a union
(the flushing pipe being soldered or otherwise connected to the union), the afore-
said tube is provided with a trumpet shaped top with a flange; thus these two
parts constitute the syphon for discharging the tank for the usual flush. At the
top of the cover I fix an eyelet, and to the said eyelet I connect the end of a pull
down pivoted lever by a link, this said lever is pivoted between two jaws or lugs
fixed at the top of the tank and projecting a short distance beyond and to which
extreme end I attach a pull down chain or the like.
The flush is caused by a pull at one end of the lever thereby raising or lifting
the cylindrical syphon when the water rushes over the flange and down the
trumpet shaped pipe above described.

I, THOMAS GANGE, Senior, of 47, Queen Street, Newton Abbot, in the County of
Devonshire, Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
[Price 8d.]

in and by the following statement;―
My invention relates to improvements in water waste preventers.
Waste preventers in the market at present are extremely noisy when discharging
their contents. Now my invention is that the discharge from the cylinder is
absolutely noiseless, and so does away with the obnoxious noise of those waste
preventers now in use. Of course being valveless the expense for future repair
is greatly minimised.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a plan of the top and inside of the apparatus.
Fig. 2, is the front of tank.
Fig. 3, is a plan of the bottom of the cylindrical tube.
Fig. 4, is a longitudinal section of the apparatus.
This invention is constructed with a metallic tank a having the usual ball
lever inlet b and a suitable overflow c. Beneath the inlet b I provide a curved fan
shaped spreader d which dips towards the bottom of the tank a in order to prevent
noise by the inflow of water when charging the tank. In or about the centre
of the bottom of the tank a I place a cylindrical tube e with a sealed cover fat
the top and a flanged open base g. Before soldering the cover to the cylindrical
tube I insert a trumpet shaped Hanged tube screwed at one end with a male
thread and through an opening I pass the said tube and to which I connect on
the outside a union (the flushing pipe being soldered or otherwise connected to
the union), the aforesaid tube his provided with a trumpet shaped top with a
flange ; thus these two parts constitute the syphon for discharging the tank
for the usual flush. At the top of the cover I fix an eyelet j, and to the said
eyelet I connect the end of a pull down pivoted lever k by a link, the said lever
is pivoted between two jaws or lugs fixed at the top of the tank and projecting
a short distance beyond and to which extreme end I attach a pull down chain
or the like. The cylinder e is raised from the bottom of the tank a by means of
three metallic clips m rivetted to the flanged base g.
The flush is caused by a pull at one end of the lever thereby raising or lifting
the cylindrical syphon when the water rushes over the flange and down the
trumpet shaped pipe above described.
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:
1. In a water waste preventer, the combination of the various parts of
mechanism hereinabove described and illustrated for the discharge of water
from the cylinder to be noiseless and for to do away with the noise usually
caused by a discharge of water.
2. In a water waste preventer, the combination of the curved fan shaped
spreader d and the cylinder e with the tube h and trumpet shaped flange i,
substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 26th day of August 1898.
