PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Gulleys or Traps for
Downspouts.
We, J. DUCKETT AND SON LIMITED, of Sanitary Ware Works, Burnley, in the
County of Lancaster, and JAMES DUCKETT, of Woodleigh, Burnley, aforesaid,
Manufacturer of Sanitary Ware, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:--
This invention consists of an improved construction of gullies for rain water
pipes, and other downspouts, with the object of rendering them better adapted
for their purpose.
:
To accomplish this, we make the gulley in two parts. One of these is the top
piece, and is square or rectangular by preference, so that it will fit either against
a straight wall, or in the inner angle of a building to receive a rain water pipe.
In this top piece there are two openings, one for the rain water pipe, and one
for access to trap below. At under side of top piece, we form a circular lip pro-
jecting about an inch downwards. The lip fits into a circular socket in trap.
to enable the latter to be turned in any required direction so that outlet end of
trap will point towards and connect with drain without using a bent pipe.
A
It is manifest, that the above arrangements will render the use of bent pipes
unnecessary, and also dispense with the usual iron rain-water pipe shoe.'
strong flush during heavy rains is obtained, and the gulley is rendered practically
self-cleansing by its general construction, and by its holding a very small quantity
of water.
This gulley is also suitable for the reception of sink, bath, or lavatory waste
pipes.
Now in order to make our invention perfectly clear, we annex drawings.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 a cross section of the gulley. Fig. 3
is a plan of the top piece shewing access to trap and opening to receive a
rectangular rainwater pipe, and Fig. 4 is a similar plan but shewing opening to
receive a circular rainwater pipe. A is the bottom piece or trap. B, the top
piece. C the round lip of top piece. D the socket of trap. E the access opening.

cover. J is the outlet from trap.

-
This invention consists of an improved construction of gullies for water
pipes, and other downspouts, with the object of rendering them better adapted
for their purpose.
To accomplish this, we make the gulley in two parts. One of these is the top
piece, and is square or rectangular by preference, so that it will fit either against
a straight wall, or in the inner angle of a building to receive a rain water pipe.
In this top piece there are two openings, one for rain water pipe, and one
for access to trap below. At under side of top piece, we form a circular lip pro-
jecting about an inch downwards. This lip fits into a circular socket in trap
to enable the latter to be turned in any direction, so that the outlet 'end of trap
will point towards and connect with drain without using a bent pipe.

It is manifest, that the above arrangements will render the use of bent pipes
unnecessary, and also dispense with the usual iron rain water pipe shoe.
strong flush during heavy rains is obtained, and the gulley is rendered practically
self-cleansing by its general construction, and by its holding a very small quantity
of water.
This gulley is also suitable for the reception of sink, bath, or lavatory waste
pipes.
Our invention is made perfectly clear by reference to the drawings accompany-
ing our Provisional Specification in which,
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 a cross section of a gulley con-
structed according to our invention. Fig. 3 is a plan of the top piece, shewing
access to trap, and opening to receive a rectangular rain water pipe, and Fig. 4
is a similar plan, but showing opening to receive a circular rain water pipe.
A is the bottom piece or trap. B the top piece. C the round lip of top piece.
D the socket of trap. E the access opening. Fopenings to receive rain water
pipe. Grain water pipe, and H a grating or cover. Jis the outlet from trap.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:—
1. A gulley or trap for rain water pipes and the like constructed in two pieces,
the top piece being provided with two inlets, one to receive a pipe and the other
to receive a grate, and the said top piece being also formed with a circular lip on
the underside, which fits into a circular socket in the lower piece or body of the
trap, substantially as and for the purpose described and shewn.
2. The arrangement and combination of parts of a gulley or trap for rainwater
pipes and the like, substantially as and for the purpose described and illustrated.
