I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Engineer, Park Lane Works, Leeds, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:
I form my closets by preference with wings which shall reach back to the wall
and so close in the space behind closet, I prefer also to use the closet with a special
syphonic outlet which shall give a low normal level and an extra high water level
at time of flushing and I also when used in multiple form frequently connect
cisterns placed on or near the seat level in such a way that all can be fed by one
regulating cistern fitted with ball valve, the separate cisterns themselves thus not
needing a ball valve in them whereas in earlier forms it has been imperative that
a ball valve should be used in each cistern.

I, MOSES JAMES ADAMS, Engineer, Park Lane Sanitary Works, Leeds, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
-
On reference to my drawings it will be seen that I shew at Fig. 1 two closets A A
with cisterns B B fixed in close proximity thereto, these cisterns are fed by pipe CC
and it will be apparent that the water level will be the same in all. I either fix
another cistern with a ball valve through which the water supply enters it and
from which cistern pipe C is fed or I put a ball valve in one of the cisterns shewn
or otherwise feed the same and by this means I dispense with the need for a ball
valve in each cistern. To actuate the cisterns and Hush the closets I have shewn
a lever H which being pulled down lifts a valve and so flushes the closet pan but
any convenient method of discharging the contents of these cisterns may be adopted
at Fig. 2 I have shown a closet in section with the cistern above it this closet is
syphonic but I may use either wash down, or wash out, or other suitable shaped pan
for my work. The syphonic pan I shew has its water level regulated by the
position of a weep hole D but at the time of flushing the water rises over syphon
and so the closet pan is filled well up and more easily flushed and cleansed, the

is so formed by wings or otherwise shaping the apparatus; that it fits up close to
back wall that the space commonly left between a closet pan and back wall shall,
be closed preventing accumulation of dust and other undesirable matter the letter F
shews the line of the closet and that it fits up to wall.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same to be performed. I declare that what
I claim is
1st. The use of a series of cisterns over a series of closets the said cisterns being
fed from one of their number or from a separate cistern fitted with water supply.
2nd. The use of a syphonic water closet where a weep hole reduces the permanent
level of water standing in the basin to any desired level with or without a cistern.
3rd. The use of a syphonic closet formed in such a manner that the space com-
monly left between closet pan and wall is closed in for the purpose described.
4th. The use of a closet so formed that when fixed the usual open space between
closet and wall is closed up in combination with a flushing cistern which shall
be placed at or close upon the level of closet seat whether used singly or in ranges.
5th. The general arrangement and design of the apparatus shewn and described
or their equivalent though differing in conformity substantially the same.
