Our invention relates to an improved construction of cistern for flushing water

page_text: closets, our object being to make such cisterns simpler to manufacture, and to
induce a stronger siphonage than heretofore.
Our invention will be readily understood by reference to the drawings accom-
panying our Provisional Specification, wherein Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section,
Fig. 2 a plan, and Fig. 3 a cross section.
U is the cistern, which may be of any suitable size or form. V a well, which
may be square, oval or circular, X the plunger to fit well V in the usual manner.
Y are tubular inlets preferably conical for the passage of water to stand pipe Z.
O is a lever, which actuates plunger X and starts siphonage. Well V and
stand pipe Z are secured to cistern with a nut and thread E¹.
By making the inlets Y sufficient in number and size, so as to provide space for
the passage of the feed water, and by providing the short tapering pipes Y, and
a well fitting plunger of the form shewn, and by fitting the cistern with the usual
ball cock, stand pipe, fall pipe, lever and chain, siphonic action will start easily
and produce little noise.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
-
The construction and use of syphonic plunger cisterns for water closets, made
