COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Toilet-ware.
FRANCIS JOSEPH EMERY, Bleak Hill Works, Burslem County of Staffordshire,
Earthenware Manufacturer, 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 the combination of a wash hand bason and the waste water
receptacle provided with a handle, on which waste water receptacle the said bason rests
or stands.
The bason is made of ceramic ware of any approved shape or pattern, and of any
convenient size and thickness or thicknesses, having recesses or pockets on the inside
or outside edge or rim of the said bason for the reception of soap, nail-brush, sponge
or other toilet article, a hole or aperture being formed through the bottom of the said
bason, which said hole or aperture may be bushed or fitted with metal, proforably of a
ring or circular shaped form, into which a plug of metal or other suitable material fits
for the purpose of retaining water in the said bason whilst in use, when the plug is
removed from the hole in the bottom of the bason, the waste or dirty water runs or
falls from the said bason into the receptacle on which the said bason rests or stands,
the bottom of the bason having a ridge or collar on its outer bottom surface for the
purpose of keeping the said bason on its proper seat, or in its proper position on the
said waste water receptacle. The bason, jug, waste water receptacle and the base or
pedestal being made of earthenware of any suitable pattern, size, shape and thicknesses,
the inside and outside surfaces of which may be left quite plain, or decorated or
ornamented in any approved style or manner according to taste.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood and explained in detail
1 have hereunto annexed a sheet of drawings, on which letters of reference are marked
on corresponding parts on all the figures alike.

page_text: DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. is an elevation of my invention drawn about one-fifth of the full size, showing
the base or pedestal a provided with knobs or trunnions 6 on or around which
trunnions a handle of any suitable material, shape and size with loops is fitted or
fixed, the bason c with pockets or recesses d on the outside rim or edge of same for
the reception of soap, nail-brush &c., and the jug e.
It will be easily understood on reference to the drawings, that when required for
use the juge is removed or lifted from the bason c and water poured from the said
juge into the said bason, of course presuming a plug is previously placed or fitted in
the hole or aperture in the bottom of the bason c for the purpose of retaining the
water therein, the said plug may be attached by a string, cord or chain of any suitable
size, shape and material to any convenient part of the bason c. When the use of the
bason c is dispensed with, the plug is removed from the aperture or hele in the bottom
of the bason, and the waste or dirty water allowed to run from, and fall into the waste
water receptacle b, which said receptacle 6 can whon required be lifted from its base
or pedestal a by means of a handle 63 or other suitable appliance attached or fitted
thereto, and its contents emptied therefrom.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of a bason drawn about one-fifth of its full size,
shewing more particularly the aperture or hole in the bottom of the said bason bushed
with metal
