PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Waste Water Closets.
I JESSE KIRKMAN of Park Place Chorley in the County of Lancaster,.
Steam Packing Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to.
be as follows:-
These improvements are applicable to what are known as "waste water closets".
which are flushed out by the waste water from baths, lavatories, and other similar.
sources, the objects of the invention being first to prevent the fouling of the front
and back of the pan by the urine and feces and secondly to ensure the efficient
washing out of the basin.
According to my invention I make the basin of the closet with a projecting.
peak or pocket in front at the top to receive the urine and the lower part of this
pocket slopes downwards and projects beyond the front of the basin so as to form a
kind of shoot and throw the urine towards the centre and clear of the sides of the
basin.
By making the basin with this front pocket I am also enabled to bring the centre
of the seat opening further forward so that the fæces will fall more centrally and
quite clear of the back and sides of the basin.
And in order to keep the basin and pan well washed out I place an inlet tube
near to the top of the said basin at the side or back thereof for connection with the
waste pipe of the bath or lavatory such bath or lavatory being situated above the
said inlet and by this means I get a top as well as a bottom flush the latter being
the only one usually obtained in this class of closet.

Improvements in Waste Water Closets.
1 JESSE KIRKMAN of Park Place Chorley in the County of Lancaster,
Steam Packing Manufacturer, 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 :—
"
These improvements are applicable to what are known as "waste water closets
which are flushed out by the waste water from baths, lavatories, and other similar
sources, the objects of the invention being first to prevent the fouling of the front
and back of the pan by the urine and fæces and secondly to ensure the efficient
washing out of the basin.
My invention will be readily understood from the following description upon
reference to the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed on which Fig. 1 is a sectional
view of so much of a waste water closet as is necessary to illustrate my invention
and Fig. 2 is a plan of the same with the seat removed.
According to my invention I make the basin a of the closet with a projecting
peak or pocket a' in front at the top to receive the urine and the lower part of this
pocket slopes downwards and projects beyond the front of the basin a as seen at a*
Fig. 1 so as to form a kind of shoot and throw the urine towards the centre and
clear of the sides of the basin.
By making the basin with this front pocket a' I am also enabled to bring the

centrally and quite clear of the back and sides of the basin.
And in order to keep the basin a and pan well washed out I place an inlet tube c
near to the top of the said basin a at the side or back thereof for connection with
the waste pipe d of the bath or lavatory such bath or lavatory being situated above
the said inlet e and by this means I get a top as well as a bottom flush the latter
being the only one usually obtained in this class of 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
First. In waste water closets combining with the front part of the basin a pocket.
with a projecting peak or shoot in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the drawing annexed, and
Secondly. In waste water closets the use of an inlet pipe at or near the top of the
basin in connection with the waste water pipe whereby I obtain a top flush in
combination with the bottom flush ordinarily employed.
