page_text: We, JOHN GUY STRONG, ROBERT GUY STRONG, and JAMES HENRY STRONG, all
of 8 and 9, Hammond Lane, Dublin, Ireland, Engineers and Iron Founders, do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CAST IRON
WATER CLOSETS" and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our Invention relates to improvements in cast iron waterclosets, firstly, for the
purpose of preventing the insuction of noxious gases from the street sewer through
the house service water pipes when empty; secondly, to the application of an air
pipe to give a supply of fresh air to the water chamber and house service pipes;
and, thirdly, to give a wash of pure water when the discharge plug is raised for the
purpose of flushing.
These improvements we effect, firstly, by extending the division plate in the
water chamber to the bottom of the apparatus as marked at A. in the accompanying
drawing secondly, by the introduction of a syphon or trap B under the water
chamber, the object of which is to prevent soil from fouling the water in the
chamber or compartment C; thirdly, by the application of a flap D in front of the
syphon on division plate for the purpose of distributing the water during the
operation of flushing; fourthly, by the use of a cover or lid E over the water
chamber secured and jointed air tight; fifthly, by the application of a tube or
pipe F leading from the air-tight water chamber or compartment.
the water supply pipe.

It will be obvious that the soil compartment of our said Invention, represented
in the accompanying drawings, may be multiplied in series as occasion may require,
our said improvements being applicable to several compartments as readily as
to onc.
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. The extension of the division plate in water chamber to bottom of the
apparatus as herein specified, and described in accompanying drawings.
2. The application of a syphon or trap under water chamber for the purpose and
in the manner herein described and set forth.
3. The application of the flap in front of syphon on division plate for the purpose
herein specified,
4. The application of the air-tight cover over the water-chamber, and the use of
the air pipe, for the purpose and in the manner herein specified.
Dated this Fourteenth day of February, 1884.
