PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Stand or Pedestal and Syphon Trap for
Water-closet Pans, Slop Sinks, or other Sanitary Appliances.
I, JOHN THOMAS BOLDING trading as John Bolding and Sons of No. 19, South
Molton Street, Oxford Street London, Brass Founder and Manufacturer of-Sanitary
Appliances, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object a metal stand A. forming a pedestal into which a
closet or other pan can be inserted.
The interior of this stand, or pedestal, is formed in the shape of a syphon trap
(Fig. 2. A.B.B.) by means of which the water stands high up in the basin, or pan and
a very deep water seal is obtained.
The out-go of the syphon trap (Fig. 2. B. B.) can be turned, or moulded, in any
required direction so as to meet the position of a lead waste, or soil pipe to which it is
to be connected. This lead soil, or waste pipe is securely attached to the out-go of
the trap, B. by a wiped solder joint and thereby ensures a secure and perfect connection
between the basin or pan and. the soil or waste pipe.
To provide a means of ventilation to the out-go of the trap an opening can be cut
in the upper part of the trap and a lead, or other metal ventilating pipo inserted
therein (Fig. 1. C.) and the two securely connected by a wiped solder joint as in the
former case.
By these several means syphonage of the trap, or leakage of sewer gas through
any parts of the apparatus is rendered impossible.
I prefer to make this combined stand, or pedestal and trap in lead, but can employ
other metals either plain or enamelled inside.
Dated this Fifth day of November 1889

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Stand or Pedestal and Syphon Trap for
Water-closet Pans, Slop Sinks, or other Sanitary Appliances.
I, JOHN THOMAS BOLDING, trading as John Bolding and Sons, of No. 19 South
Molton Street, Oxford Street, London, Brass Founder, 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 order to explain my invention I refer to drawings accompanying my provisional
specification.
This invention has for its object a metal stand A. forming a pedestal into which
a closet or other pan can be inserted.
The interior of this stand, or pedestal, is formed in the shape of a syphon trap
(Fig. 2. A. B. B.) by means of which the water stands high up in the basin, or pan,
and a very deep water seal is obtained. The outgo of the syphon trap, (Fig. 2. B. B.)
can be turned or moulded in any required direction, so as to meet the position of
a lead waste, or soil pipe to which it is to be connected. This lead waste or soil
pipe is securely attached to the outgo of the trap B. by a wiped solder joint and
thereby ensures a secure and perfect connection between the basin, or pan, and the
soil, or waste pipe.
To provide a means of ventilation to the outgo of the trap, an opening can be cut
in the upper part of the trap and a lead or other metal ventilating pipe inserted
therein (Fig. 1. C.) and the two securely connected by a wiped solder joint, as in the
former case. By these several means syphonage of the trap or leakage of sewer
gas through any of the parts of the apparatus is rendered impossible.

page_text: I prefer to make this combined stand or pedestal and trap in lead, but can employ
other metals either plain or enamelled inside.
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:
A pedestal, or stand, for a closet pan, or other receptacle, and that this pedestal, or
stand is in the form of, and acts as, a syphon trap, and being made in lead, or other
metal can be joined direct to the soil, or waste pipe, by a solder, or metal joint, and is
in all respects as hereinbefore substantially described and set forth.
Dated this Twenty-second day of July 1890.
