AN IMPROVED CONCEALED OUTLET AND DEEP FLOODING CLOSET
Year: 1885

page_text: I SAMUEL JACKSON of Kirkgate Bradford in the county of York Architect do
hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "AN IMPROVED CONCEALED
OUTLET AND DEEP FLOODING CLOSET," to be as follows:-
I construct my improved floating closet with the basin of a peculiar shape or
formation, the bottom of the basin is oval or semi egg shaped and sufficiently
hollowed as to always leave a few inches depth of water at the bottom, the opening
or exit being hid from view by a web, rim, or projection which extends along the
end and sides tapering or running out towards the inlet this web has the effect of
narrowing or contining the water way or space, and giving more effect and impetus
to the water when flushing the closet, being perfectly flushed with much less water
than is required by the present arrangement of flushing closet..

An Improved Concealed Outlet and Deep Flooding Closet.
I SAMUEL JACKSON of Kirkgate Bradford in the county of York Architect 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:-.
I construct my improved concealed outlet, deep flooding closet, with the basin of
a peculiar shape or formation the bottom of the basin is oval, V, or semi-egg

page_text: shaped, and is sufficiently hollowed as to always leave a sufficient depth of water
at the bottom of the. 'basin, the opening or exit, being hid from view, by a web,
rim or projection, which extends along the end, and sides tapering or running out
towards the water inlet, the web has the effect of narrowing or confining the water
way or space, and giving more effect, and impetus to the water when flushing; the
closet being perfectly flushed with a small quantity of water.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved closet.
Fig. 2 is a plan of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 2 on the line A. A, looking towards outlet.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of Fig. 2, on the line B. B, looking towards outlet.
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of my improved closet, with water inlet, and soil
outlet at the back.
Fig. 6 is a plan of Fig. 5.
A is my improved closet, B' is the concealed outlet, preferably at the front of
the closet, as shewn at Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, with the deep flooding basin D, of a
peculiar shape or formation, the bottom of the basin is oval, or semi egg shaped,
and sufficiently hollowed as to always leave a sufficient depth of water at the
bottom the opening or exit being hid from view by a web rim or projection E,
which extends along the end and sides, tapering or running out at F, towards the
water inlet C, the web E, has the effect of narrowing or confining the water way
or space and giving more effect and impetus to the water when flushing.
Figs. 5 and 6 shew closet with soil outlet, and water inlet at the back of the
closet, the water passes in, around the rim of the basin, and after allowing it to
flush the sides, the rest flushes out in front, similar. to the before described, the
closet being perfectly flushed with a small quantity of. water; no substance can
possibly stick or adhere to the basin.
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
1. The web E for concealing (or partially concealing) the outlet, and assisting in
confining and narrowing the water space in the basin, towards soil outlet, as and for
the purposes shewn and described, or any similar equivalent.
2. The general arrangement and construction of closet, as and for the purposes
described.
