PROVISIONAL SIMULTIVATION
Improvements in the Construction of Baths.
I, EDWARD BAGALEY WILLIAMS of The Sheffield Grate Works, Rotherham
in the County of York, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement in the construction of baths, and refers
more particularly to the arrangement in metal baths of the stand pipe for the
discharge of the water, and overflow; the object being to economise space, and
simplify the construction and thus reduce the weight of metal and the prime cost.
It consists in constructing the end of the bath with the stand pipe arranged in
a position partly internal and partly external, the lower part being external and
the upper internal, the said vertical stand-pipe passing through the inclined end-
wall of the bath, so that about one half is without and one half is within the bath.
This arrangement without interfering with the interior capacity or length of the
bath, shortens the complete structure, and makes it more compact.
The pipe is fitted with the usual or other outlet valve, which may also be
arranged to act as an overflow, and the trap outside is arranged to be above the
floor level so as to be readily accessible for cleaning out.
Dated the 25th day of May 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Baths.
I, EDWARD BAGALEY WILLIAMS of The Sheffield Grate Works, Rotherham
in the County of York, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improvement in the construction of baths, and refers
more particularly to the arrangement in metal baths of the stand pipe for the
discharge of the water and the overflow; the object being to economise space; and
to simplify the construction, and thus to reduce the weight of metal and lessen the
first cost.
The invention is illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings, part being shown
in section.
It consists in constructing the stand pipe P, at the end of the bath B, so as to
be partly inside and partly outside the bath, the line of the end of the bath which
is indicated in the drawing by dotted lines E, intersecting the stand obliquely.
This arrangement of the stand shortens the whole structure and makes it more
compact, without interfering with the interior length or its capacity.
The pipe is fitted with the usual or other outlet valve V, which may also be
arranged as shown to act as an over flow escape at O, being made tubular for that
purpose, while the trap T, is arranged on the outside and above the floor level sq
as to be readily accessible, for any purpose,

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
In a bath such as that illustrated in the annexed drawings, constructing the
stand pipe P, partly inside and partly outside the oblique end wall E, for the
purpose specified and substantially as hereinbefore described.
Dated the 23rd day of February 1894.
