Year: 1891

page_text: Date of Application, 14th Sept., 1891
Complete Specification Left. 14th June, 1892-Accepted, 23rd July, 1892
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Siphon Feed for Supplying Water to Waterclosets.
I, GEORGE PALEY 15 Ribblesdale Place Preston Cotton Spinner do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
In the water supply tank I place an ordinary inverted U or other shaped siphon
pipe the longer end passing through the bottom of the tank and being connected
with the water supply pipe to the closet and the shorter end being placed within a
short distance from the bottom of the tank. I also arrange an ordinary tap or
valve and ball or other shaped float to supply the tank with water as required.
The height of the siphon pipe is made so that the water in the tank is just level
with the siphon overflow when the supply tap or valve is closed by the floating and
rising up of the ball or other shaped float. I attach a chain or rod to the float or
ball in a convenient position so that it can be pulled down when required.
The action is as follows. When the ball or float is pulled down into the water
in the tank by the chain or other means the water in the tank is displaced and rises
over the siphon pipe putting the latter into immediate action and causing the rapid
emptying of the tank through the siphon pipe and down the discharge pipe into
the closet.
Dated this 12th day of September 1891.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Siphon Feed for Supplying Water to Waterclosets.
I, GEORGE PALEY 15 Ribblesdale Place Preston Cotton Spinner 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:-
In the water supply tank I place an ordinary inverted U or other shaped siphon
pipe the longer end passing through the bottom of the tank and being connected
with the water supply pipe to the closet and the shorter end being placed within a
short distance from the bottom of the tank. I also arrange an ordinary tap or
valve and ball or other shaped float to supply the tank with water as required.
The height of the siphon pipe is made so that the water in the tank is just or
nearly level with the siphon overflow when the supply tap or valve is closed by
the floating and rising up of the ball or other shaped float. I attach a chain or
rod to the float or ball in a convenient position so that it can be pulled down when
required.
The action is as follows.
When the ball or float is pulled down into the water
in the tank by the chain or other means, the water in the tank is displaced and
rises over the siphon pipe pulling the latter into immediate action and causing
the rapid emptying of the tank through the siphon and down the discharge pipe
into the closet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1st. Displacing the water in the tank and causing the same to rise above the

page_text: siphon pipe thus putting the latter into action-by pulling down or sinking the ball
or float as herein before described.
