PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Water-closet Basins and Traps and the like.
I EDWARD JOHNS of Armitage Pottery Rugeley in the County of Stafford
Manufacturing Sanitary Potter do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
Water closet basins having enclosed or boxed up traps therewith are usually made
in combination with the trap in one piece of earthenware, consequently in case of
accident the whole has to be removed or in event of breakage replaced entirely.
Now the object of my invention is to provide a combined or boxed up or enclosed
water closet basin and trap in two parts capable of being detached from each other
so that either part may be replaced without sacrificing the other.
It will also be apparent that this water closet arrangement will be more readily
removed from place to place in this form than when made in one piece.
In carrying out my invention I form the top piece or water closet basin with a
flange or flanges or projections lugs or other suitable device on the underside thereof
and form on the upper part of the lower portion or trap flanges sockets projections
or lugs corresponding with those on the upper part or basin and so as to engage
therewith.
I join the two parts by means of rubber cement screws bolts or in any desirable
and well known manner so that the two pieces of earthenware may be connected or
disconnected at will without disturbing the lower or trap portion unless the same be
damaged or requires removal from any cause whatever.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Water-closet Basins and Traps and the like.
I EDWARD JOHNS of Armitage Pottery Rugeley in the County of Stafford
Manufacturing Sanitary Potter 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 :-
As at present made all "wash out" water closet basins having enclosed or boxed
up traps therewith are usually made in combination with the trap in one piece of
earthenware consequently in case of accident the whole has to be removed or in
event of breakage replaced entirely.
Now the object of my invention is to provide a combined or boxed up or enclosed
"wash out" water closet basin and trap in two parts capable of being detached from
each other so that either part may be replaced without sacrificing the other.
It will also be apparent that this water closet arrangement will be more readily
removed from place to place in this form than when made in one piece.
Referring to the accompanying drawings and to the figures and letters of reference
marked thereon,
Figure 1 is an elevation of the top, or water closet basin constructed according to
my invention.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the lower portion containing the enclosed trap.
Figure 3 is a section showing the two portions joined together.
In carrying out my invention I form the top piece or water closet basin A with a
flange or flanges or projections lugs or other suitable device B on the underside
thereof, and form on the upper part of the lower portion or trap C flanges sockets
[Price 6d1

page_text: projections or lugs D corresponding with those on the upper part or basin and so as
to engage therewith.
I join the two parts by means of rubber cement screws bolts or in any desirable or
well known manner so that the two pieces of earthenware may be connected or
disconnected at will without disturbing the lower or trap portion unless the same be
damaged or requires removal from any cause whatever.
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 I
claim is:
:
First In so called "wash out" water closet basins and traps the manufacture of
the basin or upper portion separately from the boxed up or enclosed trap or lower
portion, said upper and lower parts being adapted to be connected and disconnected
one from the other at will substantially as herein described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
Second: The improved construction of combined wash out water closet basins and
traps substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
