EDWARD ANTHONY GEARY 22 Gipsy Hill Upper Norwood, London S.E.
Plumber do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
That by means of a ring made of iron, steel, brass, earthenware, or other
substances, strong enough to resist pressure to be put upon it from the inside or
outside, fixed in the position shown on sectional drawings as Fig. A, made with
key grooves Fig. B, and pipe guide Fig. C on the inside when fitted on the outside,
and key grooves Fig. B, pipe guide Fig. C, on the outside when fitted on the inside
of the pipes to be joined together. The above mentioned ring is made according
to size and position of the pipes to be joined, always having a space left Fig. D
between the pipes and ring when in position as Fig. A to be caulked in tight, in
the case of lend, iron and the like pipes with molteu lead, in the case of lead,
carthenware and the like pipes with Portland cement. The ring has ears attached
outside for fixing on walls and is made in halves fixed together.

Plumber 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 :-
Referring to drawings left with the Provisional Specification.
My invention relates to the manufacture of rings of the form shown on sectional
drawings as A to be used for making joints between lead, iron, earthenware and
the like pipes.
In carrying out my invention I make or cast a ring of iron, steel, brass, earthen-
ware, or other substances of the form shown as A having key grooves B and pipe
guide C on the inside when fitted on the outside and key grooves B and pipe
guide C on the outside when fitted on the inside of the pipes to be joined
together.
The above mentioned ring is made according to size and position of the pipes to
be joined always having a space D between the pipes and the ring when in position
as A to be caulked tight, in the case of lead, iron and the like pipes with
molten lead, in the case of lead earthenware and the like pipes with Portland
cement.
It will be seen that I have provided the means by which lead and the like pipes
can be joined to iron and the like pipes by a caulked lead joint, without the use
D

page_text: of plumber's joints, unions or other screw-couplings, and the means by which
lead and the like pipes can be joined to earthenware and the like by having
the lead and the like pipes held tight between two walls of cement as shown on
drawings.
I would observe that the key grooves and pipe guide of the ring fitted on the
outside of the pipes, whilst affording easiness in making the joint and looks much
better are not indispensable as I have obtained practical and satisfactory results
from rings having no key grooves or pipe guide, shown on drawings accompanying
the Complete Specification as A 1.
It is obvious that the ring can be made for any other shape or form of pipes
besides round.
It can have nailing ears or supporting brackets attached to it for fixing same
⚫on walls.
It can be made in halves each half having projecting bolt holes or hooks attached
each side corresponding with each other and forming the ring when fitted together
so that when taken apart off the pipes the caulking substance can be cut away
and the pipes taken apart.
The ring can also be made or cast on the pipes at C of the rings fitted on the
outside of the pipes which are to be joined without departing from the principle of
being able to caulk lead and the like pipes to iron and the like pipes with a
direct caulked lead joint or of fixing the lead and like pipes between two walls of
-cement when joined on to earthenware and the like pipes, as shown on drawings
-accompanying the Complete Specification at C 1.
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,
The manufacture substantially as herein described and illustrated by the drawings,
of the means for making pipe joints consisting of a ring or case made of the substances
.mentioned as set forth.
Dated this Fifth day of November 1896.
