PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lavatory Fittings.
THOMAS GILLOCH, Superintendent of Works and HENRY PYLE Ironmonger, both
of 196, High Street, Poplar, London, E., do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
Our invention consists of a mode of supply of water to lavatory basins, by means
of a rose, or jet, upwards from the bottom thereof, & may be connected directly
with the hot, or cold service of water, or with both, so that hot, cold, or tepid water,
may be used at pleasure. The waste being continuous during the operation of
washing, will take away all used water, as fast as clean is supplied, and will be
connected with a trap in the usual sanitary mode of fitting lavatorys.
A shows the rose which may be coarse or fine, or a jet, supplied through a pipe or
connection at B.
C. C. C. shows the course of water, connected with a trap as aforesaid.
D. D. shows the broken line of basin.

We THOMAS GILLOCH, Superintendent of Works, and HENRY PYLE, Ironmonger,
both of 196 High Street, Poplar, London, E., 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 for improvements in lavatory fittings has for its object to supply
lavatory basins with an upward spray or jet of water from the bottom, the waste
being always open and consists in a combined spray supply and waste adapted to be
fitted to the bottom of the basin. The spray is connected to a hot or cold water
supply or to both so that its temperature can be regulated at pleasure.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings:
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a combined spray supply and continuous waste,
constructed according to this invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a combined spray and continuous or stop waste.
The rose A is fitted on a pipe E mounted by means of wings F in the centre of the
waste C and connected with a supply of hot or cold water or both through the pipe B
that passes through the side of the waste C. As shown the pipe E screws into a
fitting G cast in one with the waste C. The wings F form a separate piece screwing
in the pipe E.
In some cases the spray is formed by a few large perforations.
The appliance is fitted in the usual hole in the bottom of the basin O. The waste
in this case is in continuous action as shown by the arrows.
In a modification shown in Fig. 3 on the underside of the rose A is a leather
037

page_text: washer H and the rose A is attached to a long screw E that can be screwed more or
less into the fitting G. When the rose is screwed completely down the leather washer
makes contact with waste C and closes it.
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 :
1. A combined supply spray or jet and waste for lavatory basins.
2. The improvements in lavatory basins substantially as described with reference to
Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
3. The improvements in lavatory basins substantially as described with reference to
Fig. 3 of the drawings.
