Noiseless Flushing Apparatus for Water-closets.
1, AUGUST ESCHELBACH of 140 Fahrgasse Frankfort-on-Main in the Empire
of Germany, Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to a noiseless flushing apparatus for water-closets, with a
suction-valve laterally secured to the siphon and an adjustable admission-valve.
My apparatus for the noiseless introduction and discharge of the water is
distinguished by a remarkably simple formation of the valve which governs
the siphon and by the admission-valve which is specially applicable to high
pressures.
Laterally of the siphon-pipe, which is screwed to the casing, is placed a small
tube cut vertically, or rather with a slight slope, and flattened at the end so as to
serve for a valve-seat. Upon this is placed a valve-lever formed as an elbow-
lever and provided in the usual way on the contact surface, with a covering of
leather or such like substance; this valve-lever is movably placed on a shoulder
of the siphon-tube, and connected with a hand lever by means of a rod. This
arrangement of the valve permits on the one hand, of its being readily made of a
piece with the siphou, and on the other hand, the water-tight surfaces are preserved
from contact with the dirt or excrement, owing to their being in a vertical position,
or almost so.
A weight suitably located, guarantees the right position of the valve-plate on
its seat. The admission-valve is worked by the lever of the ball and consists of a
piston which is fitted water-tight in a cylinder, by means of a leather rim, or edge
and connected with a joint by a screw so that the piston shifts towards the joint
and consequently towards the ball thus allowing the application of water at different
pressures. The piston is provided, on the outside, with an india-rubber pad which
rests upon the mouth of the pipe and stops it. Laterally, the piston has a groove
through which the water reaches the mouth of the pipe which terminates at the
bottom of the casing.

AUGUST ESCHELBACH of 140 Fahrgasse, Francfort-on-Main in the Empire of
Germany, 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:-
My invention relates to a noiseless flushing apparatus for water closets, with a
suction valve laterally secured to the siphon and an adjustable admission valve.
My apparatus for the noiseless introduction and discharge of the water is

siphon and by the admission-valve which is specially applicable to high pressures.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification,
B is the siphon-pipe, which is screwed to the casing A; laterally with reference to
this pipe, is placed the small tube b, cut vertically, or rather with a slight slope,
and flattened at the end so as to serve for a valve-seat. Upon this is placed the
valve lever C formed as an elbow-lever, and provided in the usual way, on the
contact surface, with a covering of leather or such like substance; this valve-lever
is moveably placed on a shoulder of the siphon-tube, and connected with the hand
lever D, by means of a rod d. This arrangement of the valve permits, on the one
hand, of its being readily made of a piece with the siphon, and on the other hand, the
water-tight surfaces are preserved from contact with the dirt or excrement, owing
to their being in a vertical position, or almost so. A weight c, suitably located,
guarantees the right position of the valve-plate on its seat. The admission-valve
is worked by the lever E of the ball F and consists of a piston G, which is fitted
water-tight in a cylinder, by means of a leather rim, or edge, g and connected with
the joint h by a screw à', so that the piston shifts towards the joint and consequently
towards the lever E. By means of the screw h', the piston G may be lowered or
raised, thus allowing the application of water at different pressures. The piston is
provided, on the upper side, with an india rubber pad e, which rests upon the mouth
of the pipe and stops it. Laterally the piston has a groove through which the
water reaches the mouth of the pipe f, which terminates at the bottom of the
casing.
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 :-
1. A noiseless flushing apparatus for water-closets, distinguished by
a. The forming of the suction-valve on the side of the siphou.
b. The employment of a weighted elbow-lever bearing the admission-
valve.
2. In the apparatus above claimed the particular shape of the admission-valve
making no noise, and distinguished by a moveable piston G in a cylinder, open at
the bottom, which can be actuated and shifted from below, the lateral channel of
which allow the water to pass freely into a pipe extending laterally and terminating
in the casing the whole as described and for the purpose specified.
