An Improved Socket or Collar Joint for Uniting Metal and
Earthenware or other Pipes.
I, ARTHUR HENRY MOUNTAIN, of the Town Hall, Withington, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Civil Engineer, 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 :-
The object of my invention is to enable an improved joint to be made between
metal pipes such as cast iron or lead pipes and earthenware sanitary or other pipes
such as stoneware fireclay and the like.
I accomplish this object by fixing a closely fitting collar of earthenware fireclay
or other suitable material in the ordinary socket of the earthenware pipe; this
collar for part of its length has an internal diameter corresponding to or less than
that of the earthenware pipe but for the remainder of its length vertically it is
tapered outwards forming a funnel to receive the cast iron lead or other metal pipe
which is placed in position in the funnel and then firmly secured by filling in
Portland or other suitable cement between the exterior of the metal pipe and the
sides of the funnel.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being had to the
figures and letters marked thereon.
Figures 1 and 2 are sectional elevations illustrating the application of my
improved socket or collar joint for uniting a metal with an earthenware pipe.

page_text: In these views, a designates the earthenware fireclay or other similar pipe, 6 the
cast iron, lead or other metal pipe, the earthenware, fireclay or other like collar
fitted and cemented or otherwise fixed in the socket of the pipe a, and d the Portland
cement or other suitable cement by which the pipe b is fixed in position and a tight
joint made.
In both figures the collar c is shown funnel shaped internally and with a groove c¹
to receive a portion of the cement and so lock it in position when set.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
In combination, an earthenware or similar pipe a, a cast iron, lead or other metal
pipe b, a collar c funnel shaped internally, and a filling of Portland cement or other
suitable cement d, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
Dated this 19th day of July 1895.
