PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Syphon Water Waste Preventer.
1. MILTON SYER, of 36 Rye Lane, Peckham, in the County of Surrey, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved syphon water waste preventer.
In a tank of any desired capacity I fix an upright tube or stand pipe; and over
this said pipe I place a cylinder or cover closed at the top and depending from a
lever or pull. I connect to the flush pipe leading from cistern to water closet pan
a trap to contain water and inside this trap I place a floating ball which floats into
the mouth of the trap and forms an effectual seal to the return of the air.
The object of this trap is to form an air trap in the flush pipe so that the water
in the cistern can be retained until the confined air is allowed to escape either by
means of a self closing push fixed in the down pipe or by raising the cover in the
cistern.
It will be understood that the shapes and parts may be varied in many ways
within the scope of my invention.
Dated this 19th day of August 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Syphon Water Waste Preventer.
I, MILTON SYER, of 36 Rye Lane, Peckham, in the County of Surrey, 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 an improved syphon water waste preventer.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a part vertical section and part elevation of the apparatus.
Fig. 2, is a section of the apparatus when a ball is used in the trap and the
U-tube is placed outside the trap f.
In Fig. 1, I fix in a tank a of any desired capacity an upright tube or stand
pipe b; and over this said pipe I place a cylinder or cover c closed at the top and
depending from a lever d or pull. I connect to the flush pipe e leading from cistern
to water closet pan a trap to contain water.
In Fig. 2, inside the trap f I place a floating ball k (and a perforated division
plate ) which floats into the mouth of the trap and forms an effectual seal against
a seating to the return of the air. When the ball float k is used the small
U-pipe is placed outside the trap f. The ball falls to the bottom of the trap as
in Fig. 2, during a flush and is prevented from being swept away by a perforated
division plate l.
The object of the trap is to form an air trap g in the flush pipe as in Fig. 1,
or outside as in Fig. 2, so that the water in the cistern can be retained until the
confined air is allowed to escape either by means of a self closing push ½ fixed in
the down pipe or by raising the cover c in the cistern.

page_text: The poeumatic push mounted on a mahogany block is provided with a small
pipe i projecting from same and the said pipe i is connected to the air trap g.
The push or valve h is constructed with an india rubber diaphragm spring pressed,
and on the push being pressed in air is forced into U-tube g, thus forcing out the
trapping water and on the return of the push the remaining water is sucked out of
the pipe g, leaving free vent for the confined air to escape.
By pressing the button of the pneumatic push the syphonage is started.
The function of the tube or air trap g inside the trap f is to allow the confined
air in the flush pipe e to escape when operated upon by the push -for instance,
supposing the trap charged with water thus trapping the air in the flush pipe the
small tube is also trapped with water, but on the push being pressed the water in
the small tube is discharged leaving free vent for the air to escape and thus allowing
the water to flow.
It will be understood that the shapes and parts may be varied in many ways
within the scope
of my
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
" '
1. In an improved water waste preventer, the combination of the tank a stand
pipe b and cylinder or cover c depending from a lever d or pull, substantially as
herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In a flushing apparatus, the combination of the trap fair trap 9 pipe, and
pneumatic push, with or without ball k, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 28th day of May 1894.
