PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Flushing Waste
Water Closets.
We JOHN WILBY and CHARLES WILBY of Claremount, Halifax in the County
of York, Sanitary Pipe Makers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to
be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to construct an apparatus for flushing waste water
closets, which will be more effective and obtain a better flush than is the case with
existing flushing apparatus.
We preferably construct our flushing apparatus in the form of tank, box or
cistern, fixed in any suitable position with the bottom and sides of a round or
curved section at the opposite side to the outlet in the cistern; a suitable bucket is
mounted within this cistern, into which flows the waste water; when the bucket
has received the requisite quantity of waste water, it tipples over, precipitating the
water on to the curved bottom of the cistern at a point opposite to the outlet in
the cistern, thereby assisting in and producing a perfect flush to the closets, the
aforesaid bucket is self-righting.

Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Flushing Waste
Water Closets.
We, JOHN WILBY, and CHARLES WILBY, of Claremont, Halifax, in the
County of York, Sanitary Pipe Makers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of our invention is to construct an apparatus for flushing waste water
closets which will be more effective and obtain a better flush than is the case with
existing flushing apparatus.
To illustrate our invention we refer to the accompanying drawings wherein
Fig. 1 is vertical section, and Fig. 2 cross section of our improved flashing
apparatus, which we construct in the form of a tank, box, or cistern A fixed in any
suitable position with the bottom and sides of a round or curved section at the
opposite side to the outlet B in the cistern; a suitable bucket or tipper C is
mounted within the said cistern A into which flows the waste water; when the
bucket C has received the requisite quantity of waste water, it overturns,
precipitating the water on to the curved bottom of the cistern at a point opposite to
the outlet B in the said cistern, thereby giving a much better flush than the
Din 27

page_text: apparatus at present in use. After the bucket C has been overturned by one
supply of water, it oscillates back to its normal position ready for another
supply.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A tipper discharging its contents into a tank or box, opposite the outlet, such
said box having back, bottom, and sides all converging towards the said outlet
substantially as shewn in the drawings and described herein.
