COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Water Closets or Waste Water
Sinks.
I, JOHN WILLIAM WILD of Wallgate, Wigan in the County of Lancaster, Lime
Merchant, 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:-
This invention relates to water closets or waste water sinks and has for its object to
prevent the blocking of syphons and soil pipes.
The invention consists in providing a receiver to fit within the receiving branch of
the trap or pipe, said receiver having an exit orifice of rather smaller diameter than
the smallest diameter of the passage through the trap or pipe at any point of its
course. Anything which cannot freely pass through the trap or pipe will thus be
retained by the receiver and can readily be removed by lifting out the receiver
without disturbing the closet seat or pedestal.
Any suitable form may be given to the receiver according to the shape of the trap
or pipe into which it is to be placed care being taken to keep its form such as to
afford no obstacle to its easy removal and no ledges likely to cause accumulation of
matter.
In order to allow of its being readily removed, it is also provided. or formed with
hooks or an inwardly curled flange or lip or the like such as can be taken hold of by
a hooked rod.
The receiver may be constructed of earthenware iron or other material as may be
considered desirable, and can be adapted to almost any form of water closet.

page_text: In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are vertical sections showing the
invention applied to water closet traps.
In these, A is the trap, that shown in Figure 1 being of the kind having its
receiving branch of less diameter than its exit, whilst that shown in Figure 2 has a
passage of uniform diameter. B is my improved receiver having an exit orifice of
less diameter than the smallest diameter of the passage through the trap, and having
a curled lip b to facilitate removal.
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 improvement in water closets or waste water sinks which consists in
providing them within the receiving end of the trap or pipe with a removable
receiver having an exit orifice of smaller diameter than the smallest diameter of the
passage through the trap or pipe substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A removable receiver shaped and adapted to be inserted for the purpose set
forth within the receiving end of the trap or pipe of water closets or waste water
sinks, and having hooks or an inwardly curled lip at its upper end and an exit orifice
of smaller diameter than the smallest diameter of the passage through the trap or
pipe substantially as described.
