Improvements in Water Closet Apparatus.
We THOMAS FARMILOE of 21 Rochester Row in the City of Westminster
Manufacturer FRANK RICHARD of 27 Abbeyfield Road Rotherhithe in the County
of Surrey Engineer and WILLIAM PANARIO of 43 Gwynne Road Battersea in the
County of Surrey aforesaid Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
An evil is experienced in and with many styles of water closets and especially
those that are called wash-out closets in that while the sudden rush of water that
constitutes the flush is quite strong enough to properly cleanse the basin and remove
all matter therefrom yet in effecting this object a large proportion of the force of
the flush has been absorbed and as a general rule there is not sufficient force left in
the flush to properly cleanse the trap and remove all matter therefrom as obviously
ought to be done.
Now the object of this our invention is to remedy this evil and ensure that both
the basin and the trap shall be properly cleansed by the flush and all matter
removed therefrom.
To carry out this object we construct a tank to hold the flush and this tank has
two outlets which may be equal or different in size and a pipe from the one outlet
and if different in size preferably from the larger outlet is led to the basin being
connected thereto and therewith in any usual or convenient manner and a pipe from
the other outlet is led to the trap being connected thereto and therewith also in any
usual or convenient manner and in any desired position having regard in each case
to the particular shape or style of the trap or to the other surrounding circum-
stances. The two outlets in the tank are governed by and fitted with any usual
and ordinary apparatus and appliances in such wise that both the outlets can be
closed and opened simultaneously or that the flush is discharged from the tank
through both the outlets simultaneously or otherwise as may be desired and in all
cases it is obvious that both the basin and the trap of the water closet will be
properly cleansed by this flush so delivered as is desired.
Any after flush arrangement can be provided for and fitted to the tank
when desired.

Improvements in Water Closet Apparatus.
We THOMAS FARMILOE of 21 Rochester Row in the City of Westminster
Manufacturer FRANK RICHARD of 27 Abbeyfield Road Rotherhithe in the County
of Surrey Engineer and WILLIAM PANARIO of 43 Gwynne Road Battersea in the
County of Surrey aforesaid Sanitary Engineer 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 :-
An evil is experienced in and with many descriptions and styles of water closets
and especially in and with those that are called wash-out closets in that while the
sudden rush of water that constitutes the flush is quite strong enough to properly
cleanse the basin of the closet and completely remove all matter therefrom yet in
effecting this result a large proportion of the force of the flush has been expended
and absorbed and as a very general rule and most frequent occurrence there is not

page_text: sufficient force left in the flush to properly cleanse the trap of the closet and
completely remove all matter therefrom as very obviously ought to be done.
Now the object of this our invention is to remedy this evil and ensure that both
the basin and the trap of the closet shall be properly cleansed by the-flush and all
matter shall be removed therefrom completely and thoroughly.
In order the more clearly to explain this our invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed we refer to the accompanying drawing wherein we have
shewn our invention as applied to and with a very suitable and convenient flushing
tank or cistern which is shewn partly in section and a very appropriate and proper
wash-out closet which is shewn entirely in section.
In
A. tank A made of any convenient size and shape and of any suitable material is
provided in the usual manner with a ball valve B whereby and wherethrough this
tank A can be duly filled with water and with a syphon C whereby and where-
through this tank A can be duly emptied. The long leg of the syphon C opens
into a chamber D created on or in the bottom of the tank A. from which chamber D
a passage issues forming a continuation of the long leg of the syphon C or that is to
say in this long leg of the syphon C through which the flush is discharged is created
or interposed a chamber D at or about the level of the bottom of the tank A.
the chamber D and communicating with the interior of the tank A is made an
aperture fitted with a valve E it may very conveniently be the ordinary waste
preventing valve shewn in the drawing which valve E can be actuated in any usual
or suitable manner it may very conveniently be by the pull F through the lever G
also shewn in the drawing by which arrangement it is obvious that when the
tank A is duly filled with water and when the valve E is opened the rush of water
through and out of the chamber D will very speedily start the syphonic action that
empties the tank A. and creates the flush. Now to carry out our aforesaid object
we divide the long leg of the syphon C through which as is hereinbefore described
the flush is discharged and create two pipes or passages H and K to open
into the chamber D through the bottom of the tank A which two pipes or
passages H and K are preferably different in size or unequal in area and the one
pipe H and preferably if so arranged and created the larger pipe as is shewn in the
drawing is led to the closet in such wise that the water that passes through this
pipe H will flush the basin L of the closet it may most conveniently be through the
Hushing rim M and the other pipe K and preferably if so arranged and created
the smaller pipe as is shewn in the drawing is led to the closet in such wise that
the water that passes through this pipe K will flush the trap P of the closet it may
be and most conveniently and suitably is in this style of wash-out closet that is
shewn in the drawing through an arm N made therefore in and with the closet near
the arm of the flushing rim M by which arrangement it is obvious that this stream
of water that passes through the pipe K will fall directly and immediately into the
trap P as is shewn in the drawing whereby the desiderated effect and result herein-
before mentioned of this flush in the trap P will be ensured and enhanced.
We have thus described and we have shewn in the accompanying drawing as is
hereinbefore stated a very suitable and convenient flushing tank or cistern and
a very appropriate and proper wash-out closet for use in and with this our invention
and also a very desirable and efficient arrangement and formation and fitment of
our invention and of the several parts thereof to and with the same but we would
have it clearly understood as indeed is very obvious that we do in no wise limit
ourselves thereto for any suitable and convenient flushing tank or cistern may be
used and the two outlets from the tank or cistern may be fitted with and governed
by any usual and ordinary apparatus and appliances in such wise that both the
outlets can be opened and closed simultaneously or that is to say that the flush can
be discharged from the tank or cistern through both the outlets simultaneously or
otherwise as may be desired and the one pipe from the one outlet is led to the basin
of the closet and may be connected thereto and therewith in any usual or
convenient manner and the other pipe from the other outlet is led to the trap of the
closet and also may be connected thereto and therewith in any usual or convenient

page_text: manner and both connections may be arranged and made in any desired positions
having regard in each case to the particular shape or style of the basin and of the
trap or to the other surrounding circumstances and conditions but in all cases all
these parts and appliances are so arranged and formed and fitted and connected
together that as is hereinbefore described the one pipe will cause the basin of the
closet to be properly flushed and all matter to be completely removed therefrom
and the other pipe will cause the trap of the closet to be properly flushed and all
matter to be completely removed therefrom and thus the water closet as an whole
and in all its parts and everywhere and entirely will be properly cleansed by the
flush so delivered in manner as hereinbefore described as is desired.
When it may be deemed expedient so to do any usual and ordinary or other
after flush arrangement or apparatus may be provided and can be fitted to the
flushing tank or cistern or otherwise as may be necessary or convenient.
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 arrangement and combination of parts and appliances constituting our
improvements in water closet apparatus substantially as and for the purpose
hereinbefore described and declared.
