COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Bedroom or like Toilet Service.
I, ALEXANDER FINDLAY MORRISON, of Hygeia Works, Cornbrook, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Sanitary Engineer, 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 :-
It is sought by this invention to effect a much needed improvement in bedroom
toilet service and such like utensils comprising water jug and stand to same also
washing basin with slop receiver.
The water jug is made with a semi-flanged cover underneath which is made a
waterway having its outlet terminating near the bottom of jug and fashioned
without any valve. Said jug is supported on a stand of convenient height and
placed in a position for filling the washing basin when the former is inclined
forward. The washing basin is made with an anti-splash rim and projecting spout
with anti-splash mid-feather and said basin may be placed upon an accessible slop
receiver which is intended to receive the waste or soiled water from washing basin
when it (the washing basin) is raised at the front.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being had to
the figures and letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section of a toilet service made according to
my invention.
Figs. 2 and 3 are side and plan views in section of the water jug,
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the water basin and slop receiver and
Figs. 5 and 6 are two views of part of the stand for the water jug.
a is the water jug provided with a handle a', and a tube or passage b, opening
into the jug near the top at 6'; there is also an opening at the top of the jug for
filling the same with water.
The basin d is provided with a semi-splash rim d' and a spout & guarded by a
mid-feather d' and it is supported upon a slop receiver e the spout d resting upon
a specially shaped piece e³.

page_text: The stand c for the jug has a swivel front piece which is provided with a
recess to receive the bead a³ on the jug, the stand being rounded at cso
that when the jug a is moved forward on the stand the front edge of the swivel
piece prevents it from slipping off the stand and the water flows through the
passage into the basin d and is prevented from splashing by the mid-feather d³
and rim d¹.
To empty the basin it is raised at the front and swivels on the fluted piece e
which prevents it slipping forward, the soiled water passing from the spout d² into
the spout e' of the slop receiver which can in its turn be emptied by removing the
basin d.
If desired the receiver e could be fitted with a waste pipe so as to avoid lifting
and moving the basin and slop receiver for emptying water from it.
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 construction use and application of the jug a formed with a water
passage substantially as shown and described.
b
2. The combination with the washing basin d, of the soiled water receiver e
substantially as shown and described.
3. The combination consisting of a jug formed with a water passage such as b
and mounted on a swivel fronted stand, a washing basin such as d either with or
without a soiled water receiver all substantially as and for the purposes herein set
forth.
