IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER CLOSET BASINS
Year: 1884

page_text: TIDIONAL DI BUITIVATION.
We, WILLIAM MOYES, Senior, JOHN MOYES, and WILLIAM MOYES, Junior, all
of Pollokshields, in the county of Renfrew, Plumbers, do hereby declare the
nature of our said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER CLOSET BASINS,"
to be as follows:-
"
This Invention consists of improvements in the basins of flush-out water closets.
With the object of directing a portion of the water supply downwards into the
basin and another portion round the rim of the basin, we fit over the water inlet
orifice a wedge shaped fan, against the inclined sides of which the water strikes
and is thereby divided into streams, one flowing round each side of the basin within
the rim and the other striking downwards into the hollow of the basin. In the
front of the closet basin, the rim terminates in a curved piece which directs the flow
of the water from the rim, down into the discharge pipe from the basin. The
downward stream at the back of the basin thus sweeps out the basin and flows
over into the discharge pipe, while the portion passing round the rin flows directly
down into the discharge pipe, carrying off by its force the paper and soil which
lodges there,

We, WILLIAM MOYES, Senior, JOHN MOYES, and WILLIAM MOYES, Junior, all
of Pollokshields, in the county of Renfrew, Plumbers, do hereby declare the
nature of our said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER, CLOSET BASINS,"
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 improvements in the basins of flush out water closets,
and it is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a vertical
section and Figure 2 is a sectional plan of one form of our closet basin and trap,
and Figures 3 and 4 are vertical sections of a modified form of basin."
With the object of directing a portion of the water supply downwards into the
basin A, and another portion round the rim A¹ of the basin, we fit over the water
inlet orifice B, a wedge shaped fan C, against the inclined sides of which the
water strikes and is thereby divided into streams, one flowing round each side of
the basin within the rim A¹ and the other striking downwards into the hollow
of the basin. In the front of the closet basin, the rim A¹ terminates in a curved
piece a which directs the flow_of_the-water-from-the-rim-down into the discharge
pipe D from the basin. The downward stream at the back of the basin thus
sweeps out the basin and flows over into the discharge pipe, while the portion
passing round the rim flows directly down into the discharge pipe, carrying off by
its force the paper and soil which lodge there.
A separate pocket E with inlet and outlet may also be provided as shown in
Figures 1 and 2 to lead the water into the basin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The improved arrangement in a flush out closet basin of the fan C in front
of the water inlet and the curved piece a at front combined and adapted to direct
a portion of the water round the rim to discharge downwards in front at a, and a
portion directly downwards into the basin, substantially as herein described and
illustrated.
