EDMUND DUMMER 19 Poplar Grove West Kensington Park London Middlesex
Metal Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct baths with the arrangement of water
delivery at the opposite end, to the discharge valve, whereby the flushing out of the
bath is the more easily and perfectly obtained. The application of my invention to
the construction of baths is as follows:-
At the head end of a bath and near the rim I form a chamber extending round
that end and recessed from the inside of the bath, of sufficient capacity to take, flush
with the inner side of bath, or nearly so, a quadrant spray tube in two parts, and in
the centre of the head end of the bath, in the recessed chamber, I fit the "Hot" &
"Cold" supply cocks, and on either side of them, one of the quadrant spray tubes ;
that the nozzles of the "Hot" & "cold" cocks may be as near flush with the
inside of bath as possible, I form a chamber recessed from the inside of bath, for
their reception. To hide from view the ends of the quadrant spray tubes and the
entrance of the "Hot" & "cold" cocks, 1 fit over this part, a piece of polished
Brass or other metal.
The quadrant spray tubes are fitted at the back with unions, which pass through
the recessed chamber, for connection with the "Hot" & "cold" water supply. These
spray tubes may be used by the bather when in the bath, or for the purpose of
The discharge
rinsing soap &c. from the sides and bottom of the bath after use.
valve I place as far as possible the other end of the bath at or near the bottom, and
from placing the water delivery at the head and the discharge valve being at the
foot, of the bath, I thereby obtain a perfect flush out.
Dated this Seventh day of October 1886.

Improvements in the Construction of and relating to Baths.
I, EDMUND DUMMER 19 Poplar Grove West. Kensington Park London W. Metal
Agent, 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 my invention is to construct baths with an arrangement of water
delivery, or supply at the opposite end to the discharge valve, whereby the flushing
out of the bath is the more easily & perfectly obtained.
The application of my invention to the construction of baths is as follows, and
with the view of making my invention the more clearly understood, I refer to the
accompanying drawings Figs. 1, 2, 3, on one sheet.
At the head end of a bath and near to the rim, I form a chamber, A, extending
round that end of the bath, recessed from the inside & of sufficient capacity to take
flush with the inside of bath, or nearly so, a tubular supply pipe, B, in one or more
parts; fitted in the centre of head end of bath are the "Hot" & "Cold" Water,
supply cocks, C, & that the nozzles of these may not project into the bath I form a
small recessed chamber, D, for their reception; to hide the entrance of the supply
cocks, I fit on the inside of the bath a plate of brass or other metal.
The tubular supply pipe or pipes, B, are fitted at the back with unions passing
through the recessed chamber, for connection with the water supply, and being
pierced with small holes on the front side. I obtain therefrom when in action, a
spray, which can be used by the bather, or for the purpose of rinsing soap &c. from
the sides & bottom of the hath after use.
The waste & overflow outlet I place at the extreme end of the foot end of the
bath, the waste & overflow valves I fit into a chamber, E, which is formed in an
upright position & projects for some 3rds of its height, into the bath, then passing
through the foot end of the bath is extended on the outside of the bath to below the
inner bottom line of the bath, to the bottom of this chamber is fitted the valve
socket or cup, H, into which the "waste" plunger, G, drops. The water from the bath
for waste or overflow, has passage through a grating, F, fitting over the bottom part
of the chamber, E, on the inside of the bath, as shewn in Figs. 2. and 3.
From the water supply being at the head and the waste at the foot end of bath a
perfect flushout is obtained.

page_text: 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. The improvements in the construction of and relating to baths substantially as
& for the purposes herein shown and described.
2. The method or form of constructing the supply arrangement in Baths, namely
the tubular supply pipe or pipes & cocks in recessed chambers at the head end of a
bath, as herein fully described and shewn in Fig. 1. on the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
3. The method or form of constructing the chamber containing the waste &
overflow valves at the foot end of a bath, as herein fully described and shewn in
Figs. 2. and 3. on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
In witness whereof I the said Edmund Dummer have hereunto set my hand and
seal this Fourth day of July, One thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven.
EDMUND DUMMER.
