Improvements in Sanitary or Drainage Pipes, but also applicable to
Pipes for other Analogous Purposes.
I CHARLES TOMPSON of 28 Market Street Rugeley, Plumber, do hereby declare
the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists of the improvements hereinafter described in the construc-
tion of sanitary or drainage and other pipes for similar purposes.
The aim and object of my invention being the connecting and disconnecting of
drainage and other pipes in a more simple and efficacious manner than hitherto.
I will describe my invention in connection with junction pipes constructed of
earthenware and employed for sanitary or drainage purposes.
I construct the pipe somewhat as hitherto, but increase the length and diameter
of socket, the purpose being to receive a loose internal collar or sleeve, the edge
of which is slightly concaved, and the seat or bearing for same in the socket, that
is the shoulder, being convexed correspondingly, so that a sound fitting is obtained,
this loose collar or sleeve when in position, is shorter than the socket so that an
annular space is left as between the mouth of the loose collar and the mouth of the
socket and this for receiving the clay or stopping the external diameter of this
loose collar or sleeve corresponds with the internal diameter of the socket, and the
external diameter of the end of pipe corresponds with the internal diameter of the
loose collar or sleeve to which it is fitted or connected, and the inner circumference
of this collar and the pipe proper coincide so that a clear and uninterrupted flow of
drainage matter is effected.
The mode of connecting or disconnecting the pipe which is parallel to the junction
pipe as above set forth is carried out thus. The loose collar or sleeve, in either
connecting or disconnecting is first removed from the socket along the parallel part
of the pipe this creates sufficient space in the socket for the junction to be raised at
one end, and withdrawn and another pipe substituted the loose collar is then
replaced in its position as before described, and with the stopping the object is
effected.
And in order that this my said invention may be more fully understood, I shall
now proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose I shall
refer to the figures on the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed, the same letters of
reference indicating corresponding parts throughout each of the figures.
Fig. 1. is a view longitudinal section shewing the loose collar or sleeve and with
the junction pipe fitted in its position.
Fig. 2. is a longitudinal section shewing the loose collar or sleeve removed thus
admitting the raising of the junction pipe when connecting or disconnecting is
required.
Fig. 3. is a view in cross section as Fig. 1.
Fig. 4. is a view in cross section as Fig. 2.
a, is the junction pipe b, the ordinary pipe c, the socket of a, receiving the loose
collar or sleeve d, concaved upon its inner edge d', the seat or shoulder in c, being
convexed at c, e, is the space.
By referring to Fig. Í it will be seen that the loose collar or sleeve d is in
position to C, the socket and receives the ordinary pipe and is complete and
ready for the stopping in of e. Fig. 2 shews the loose collar or sleeve d, removed
from C, the socket; to a distance along the pipe b, sufficient to raise the one end of a,
and admit of removal, or separation of the parts a from b, or b from a, this allows or
dmits of a junction pipe a, being arranged to the ordinary pipe b, or b, being
rranged to the junction pipe a, the collar or sleeve is then replaced as Fig. 1.

page_text: The above being my invention I wish it to be understoon in conclusion that I do
not limit myself to the precise details or arrangement of parts shewn on the
accompanying sheet of drawings, but that I hold myself at liberty to alter or
modify the same without departing essentially from the principle of my said
invention.
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
claim is :-
Ist. The construction of a pipe or junction with a socket, so as to receive a loose
collar, or sleeve, and the collar or sleeve to receive the pipe substantially as and for
the purpose herein before set forth and described.
2nd. The general construction combination and arrangement of parts as herein-
before described in the foregoing Specification and illustrated on the accompanying
sheet of drawings, the whole forming "Improvements in sanitary or drainage pipes,
but also applicable to pipes for other analogous purposes."
