PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Water-closets.
We, JAMES DUCKETT and ALFRED DUCKETT of Mitre Brick Works, Burnley,
in the County of Lancaster, Brick and Sanitary Pipe Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
This invention is designed to effect further improvements upon an invention for,
which Letters Patent were granted to the said James Duckett, bearing date the
7th day of March 1887, and numbered 3431. In the Specification of the last
named Patent, the tipper and its receptacle were of somewhat rectangular form
and were square at the end nearest the wall, and were described as being placed in
close proximity to the sink and against the house or scullery wall at the commence-
ment of the yard drain. This square end of the receptacle was not adapted for
obtaining a straight flush of water therefrom to the closet, but one or more bent.
pipes were required to bring the drain in line with the inlet of the basin or
pan of the closet, unless the outlet from such receptacle chanced to be directly
opposite thereto.
The object of the present invention is to so construct and shape the receptacle
and tipper, that the outlet may be turned round in any direction to secure a straight
line from the centre of the tipper and its receptacle to the inlet of the closet basin
or pan, in whatever position the latter may be situated. The back end of the
receptacle is of a semi-circular or other suitable form in horizontal section, and
being placed next the wall will admit of the receptacle being turned obliquely
when required, so as to point in the direction of the closet basin or pan, whereby
a considerable increase of flush or force is effected.
The head and sides of the tipper are preferably in shape or outline similar to
that of the interior of the receptacle.

We, JAMES DUCKETT and ALFRED DUCKETT of Mitre Brick Works, Burnley,
in the County of Lancaster, Brick and Sanitary Pipe Manufacturers, 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 is designed to effect further improvements upon an invention for
which Letters Patent were granted to the said James Duckett, bearing date the
7th day of March 1887 and numbered 3431.
In the Specification of the last named Patent, the tipper and its receptacle were
of somewhat rectangular form and were square at the end nearest the wall, and
were described as being placed in close proximity to the sink and against the house
or scullery wall at the commencement of the yard drain. This square end of the
receptacle was not adapted for obtaining a straight flush of water therefrom to the
closet, but one or more bent pipes were required to bring the drain in line with
the inlet of the basin or pan of the closet, unless the outlet from such receptacle
chanced to be directly opposite thereto.
The object of the present invention is to so construct and shape the receptacle
and tipper, that the outlet may be turned round in any direction to secure a straight

or pan, in whatever position the latter may be situated. The back end of the
receptacle is of a semi-circular or other suitable form in horizontal section, and

when required, so as to point in the direction of the closet basin or pan, whereby a
considerable increase of flush or force is effected. The head and sides of the
tipper are preferably in shape and outline similar to that of the interior of
the receptacle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The construction and shape of the receptacle and its tipper, substantially as
described for the purpose set forth.
