We JOHN AMBLER WILSON of 79 Rydal Mount, Gentleman, and ALAMETII
COULTHURST of 15 Ambler Terrace, Engineer, both in Halifax in the County of
York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to facilitate the repairing of sanitary pipes and
relaying of same.
We employ plain tubes or pipes without flanges but with loose collars or
thimbles for forming the joints or sockets therein, by which means, when a pipe is
broken it is easily taken out by sliding back the thimble or loose collar, and is
readily replaced. Also by using cement composition on the ends of the tubes and
inside the thimble, a true or level joint is obtained.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation of our improved sanitary pipe and joint.
Fig. 2 is a sectional end view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of our improved sanitary pipe and joint with the loose
collar or thimble slid back for facilitating the repairing or relaying of the said
pipes.
In our invention we employ plain tubes or pipes A without flanges, or sockets
but with loose collars.or thimbles B, these collars or thimbles have preferably
internal ribs or projections C which act as guides and support the pipe ends in the
required position when forming a joint.
A cement or other suitable composition E admitted by means of hole D in the
collar B, passes around the ends of the pipes or tubes and inside the loose collar or
I Union Ad

page_text: thimble, so that a true and level joint is obtained. Small grooves or recesses in
the projections C allows the composition to circulate and be evenly distributed
around the pipes and within the collar.
By this construction of tube and joint, when a pipe becomes broken, worn, or
otherwise damaged it is easily and readily taken out and replaced, upon sliding
back the loose collar or thimble as shown in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
Constructing sanitary pipes and their joints with a loose collar or thimble B in
the manner and for the purposes substantially as shown and described.
In sanitary pipes and joints of same the use and employment of a loose collar or
thimble B, having internal ribs C, in the manner and for the purposes substantially
as shown and described.
