Improvements in Apparatus for Connecting Earthenware Closet
Traps or Drains to Lead Pipes.
I ARTHUR THOMAS CARLEY of 93 Northcote Road Clapham Junction in the
County of London Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in connecting lead soil pipes to water
closet traps and drain pipes.
Fig. 1 shows my improved connection complete..
Fig. 2 is a section of flange plate B on the flat which is secured to socket A by
means of bolts.
My invention is applied in the following manner I first cut the end of the lead
soil pipe C square flange B is then slipped over the end of lead soil pipe C after
which the end of soil pipe C is then opened with a plumber's tan pin to receive
taper end of socket A. Flange B is then pulled up to the expanding end of soil
pipe C and the socket A is entered in the soil pipe C after which the bolts are
entered in the flange and screwed in the lugs of the socket A until it is sufficiently
tight to make a perfectly sound joint. The end of closet trap or drain pipe is
inserted in the socket A and made sound with any suitable cement. My invention
is intended to be constructed of any suitable metal. The inside edge of flange B
is slightly convex or made to fit the corresponding end of socket A. The form
and dimensions of the component parts of this invention may be varied without
departing in any way from the nature of the invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Connecting Earthenware Closet
Traps or Drains to Lead Pipes.
I ARTHUR THOMAS CARLEY of 93 Northcote Road Clapham Junction
Ironmonger in the County of London 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 improvements in an apparatus for connecting earthenware
outlets of water closets or sinks and drains to metal soil pipes or other soil pipes in
a mauner so as to ensure a perfectly sound gas aud water tight joint. The
distinguishable part of my apparatus I will now describe.
The drawings I am about to refer to in this Specification as illustrating my
invention are those left with the Provisional Specification.
Fig. 1 shows my improved connection complete.
Fig. 2 is a section of collar or flange plate B which is secured to the socket or
thimble A by means of bolts.
.

page_text: My invention is applied in the following manner. I first cut the end of the soil
pipe C square, flange plate or collar B is then slipped over the end of lead soil
pipe C after which the end of the soil pipe C is then opened with a plumber's
tan-pin to receive taper end of socket A. The flange collar B is then pulled up
to the expanding end of soil pipe C and the socket or thimble A is entered in the
soil pipe C after which the bolts are entered in the flange collar and screw in the
lugs of the thimble A until it is sufficiently tight to make a perfectly sound joint.
The end of the closet trap or drain pipe is inserted in the thimble socket and made
sound with any suitable cement.
My invention is intended to be constructed of any suitable metal. The inside
edge of flange B is slightly convex or made to fit the corresponding end of
socket A but preferably made parallel on the inside so that the sharp or square
edge will embed itself in the lead thereby forming a seating in the lead against the
conical or tapered end of the thimble or collar.
The form and dimensions of the component parts of this invention may be varied
without departing in any way from the nature of the invention.
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
1st. In an apparatus the distinguishable part as shewn in the drawings an
apparatus consisting of a thimble having its end tapered or conical or its radius be
the segment of a circle concave or convex or its surface flat with a V or half round
seating hollow or flat formed on the surface of the flange collar B but preferably as
shewn.
2nd. A disconnecting collar or thimble or apparatus as shewn and described.
