We DOUGLAS JAMES CALLOW, HENRY JUSTUS ECк and CECIL BURMAN CALLOW
all of 10 and 11 Dean Street Holborn in the County of Middlesex Electricians
do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for AN APPARATUS FOR AUTO-
MATICALLY DISCHARGING ANY GIVEN QUANTITY OF DISINFECTING DEODORISING OR
OTHER FLUID INTO FLUSHING TANKS OR OTHER RECEPTACLES FOR THE PURPOSE
OF DISINFECTING DEODORISING OR FOR OTHER PURPOSES, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an apparatus for entomatically discharging any give
quantity of liquid as and when required.
Referring to the letters of reference in the accompanying drawing,
a is a vessel for holding a disinfectant compound.
b is a syphon of special form.
c is an air tube.
d is a stopper of any suitable material.
e is a flushing tank.
f is a disinfecting deodorising or other compound.
The action is as follows:-
:-
Upon placing the apparatus in the flushing tank e to such a depth that the air
tube c and stopper d is above the level of the water in the said flushing tank, water
will flow through the syphon b into the vessel a and fill it (for the first time, the
syphon must be filled with water after which it will work automatically by reason
of the water in the syphon not being heavy enough to force the water out of the
upturned limb of the syphon) which upon mixing with the deodorising or disinfecting
compound f speedily. becomes a deodorising or disinfecting fluid so that upon the
water in the said flushing tank e being drawn off below the level of the deodorising
or disinfecting fluid in the vessel a the said deodorising or disinfecting fluid will
How through the syphon b into the flushing tank and from thence into the pan
of the water closet and so disinfect or deodorise same, or I may effect this object
without the upturned limb of the syphon but in this case the water must rise
above the highest part of the syphon so care must be taken to keep the stopper d
perfectly watertight,

page_text: The quantity of disinfecting or deodorising fluid to be drawn off can be regulated
by adjusting the upturned limb of the syphon to such a level to the disinfecting
or deodorising fluid in the vessel a as it is desired to draw off the said disinfecting
or deodorising fluid.
This apparatus may be used for various other purposes such as flavouring with
any liquid or if supplied with borax may be used for keeping a tank of water
always soft.
We DOUGLAS JAMES CALLOW HENRY JUSTUS ECK and CECIL BURMAN CALLOW
all of 10 and 11 Dean Street Holborn in the County of Middlesex Electricians
do hereby declare the nature of our invention for AN APPARATUS FOR AUTO-
MATICALLY DISCHARGING ANY GIVEN QUANTITY OF DISINFECTING DEODORISING OR
OTHER FLUID INTO FLUSHING TANKS OR OTHER RECEPTACLES and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
This Invention relates to an apparatus for automatically discharging any given
quantity of liquid as and when required.
Instead of placing the syphon outside the vessel a as described in our
provisional specification we intend now to place the syphon inside the said vessel a
as shewn in the drawings at Fig 2.
And in order that our Invention may be better understood we will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the letters on the accompanying sheet of
drawing.
a is a vessel for holding a disinfecting deodorising or other compound,
b is the syphon.

page_text: which upon mixing with the compound d speedily becomes a disinfecting or
deodorising fluid and upon drawing off the water in the flushing tank below the
level of the disinfecting or deodorising fluid in the vessel a the said disinfecting or
deodorising fluid will flow through the syphon b into the flushing tank and from
thence into the pan of the water closet and so disinfect or deodorise same.
The quantity of fluid to be drawn off can be regulated by adjusting the mouth e
of the syphon b to auch a depth in the vessel a as it may be desired to draw off
the fluid in same.
This apparatus may be adapted for various other purposes such as flavouring
with any condiment or if supplied with borax may be used for keeping a tank of
water always soft.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we would remark
in conclusion that we do not wish to limit ourselves to the precise shape of the
apparatus as described but what we claim as our Invention is
An apparatus as described as and for the purposes set forth.
