Improvements in Waste Water Closets.
I, WILLIAM OATES, of the Firm of Oates and Green, Limited, of Claremount,
Halifax, in the County of York, Sanitary Engineers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to combine the tipper box with the pan whereby
I get a compact and novel construction of waste water closet giving a direct flush.
The pedestal is of a special construction or design to fit any ordinary form of
pan. For the purpose of my invention I construct the pedestal with an oval top
which gradually merges internally into a circular form of the size to fit the
socket of the pan. Into the upper part of the pedestal I place a loose oval flanged
hopper or shoot forming a conic frustrum which serves to keep the sides of the
said pedestal free from excreta. The pan is constructed with a dished base be-
neath the pedestal in which dished base a small quantity of water always lodges.
The tipper is pivotted on one side of the pedestal and the pan or tipper box is
suitably contracted so as to contract or concentrate the flow of water as it leaves
the tipper. The portion of the combined pan or tipper box where the tipper
delivers the water is suitably curved to give direction to the flush, said tipper
delivering its contents in a direction opposite to the outlet so that the water is
caused to flow down the curved portion of the tipper box and gathering force at
the contracted part gives a strong direct flush straight to the outlet or outlets.

I, WILLIAM OATES, of the Firm of Oates and Green, Limited, of Claremount,
Halifax, in the County of York, Sanitary Engineers, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to combine the tipper box with the pan, whereby
I get a compact and novel construction of waste. water closet giving a direct flush.
The pan and tipper box are made in one piece side by side with their tops on a
level with each other. The pan is constructed with a dished base in which dished
base a small quantity of water always lodges. The tipper is pivoted on one side
of the pan and the pan and tipper box are suitably contracted so as to concen-
trate the flow of water as it leaves the tipper box. The portion of the combined
Duice d

page_text: pan and tipper box, where the tipper delivers the water is suitably curved to give
direction to the flush, the said tipper delivering its contents in a direction oppo-
site to the outlet, so that the water is caused to flow down the curved portion of
the tipper box, and gathering force at the contracted part gives a strong direct
Hush straight to the outlet.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating my invention, Fig. 1 is sectional
elevation shewing my combined pan and tipperbox.
Fig. 2 is plan of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is section on line A--A of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings a al represents the combined pan and tipper box,
provided with a pedestal b. The base of the combined tipper box and pan is
dished as shewn, so that a small quantity of water always lodges therein, whilst
the end or side c is made inclined to prevent any superfluous water which may
impinge thereon from being thrown back into the pan.
The tipper d is arranged to deliver its contents in a direction opposite to the
outlet e and trap f, the sides of the pan being contracted as shewn at g to con-
centrate the flush. The bottom of the tipper box is curved as shewn at 7 to give
direction to the flush as it leaves the tipper. An opening is made over the
outlet e and it is provided with a cover or lid i or said opening may be employed
to receive rising pipes j if desired, and a rod may be introduced for cleaning and
removing obstructions. By arranging the outlet e to protrude slightly under the
inlet a cleaning rod can be introduced into the trap f as shewn in dotted lines
from the inside of the pan as well as from the outside of the pan, which according
to some arrangements cannot now be done.
When the tipper discharges its contents against the concave surface the water
rushes forward flushing all excreta through outlet e into trap f, the inclined
surface c allowing any surplus water from the flush to spread itself up towards
opening whereupon such surplus water drops back into the bottom of trap f
instead of going back into the dished pan n.
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:
In waste water closets, the oval tipper box a in combination with dished pan a¹
and having inclined surface c and concaved surface all substantially as set forth.
