Water Closets, Sinks, Drains, and like Apparatus.
1, WILLIAM CHEAL of 34 London Street, Worthing in the County of Sussex,
Plumber do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to effect a secure and binding joint of the leaden soil
pipe to the earthenware of water closets and the like and for this purpose I cause a
circular hole to be cut in the floor and a recess to be sunk or cut on the periphery of
said circular hole all round same. I then prepare a novel form of coupling consisting
of a short cylindrical shaped hoop of lead having a flange formed at right angles and
partly covering the diameter of said hoop. This leaden hoop is then placed with its
flange downwards on the floor directly over the circular hole beforementioned and is
provided with a counter flange which fits into the recess on the inside periphery of
said circular hole and the flange of hoop is turned upwards to allow of the soil pipe
being passed through said circular hole from its underside and to project a short
distance above the top edge of flange which it is bent over and made to grip firmly.
The top edge of pipe and flange are then beaten down into the recess on periphery of
circular hole in flooring which they serve to fill up. Putty can now be placed round
the circumference of the hole in flooring and covering the joint of leaden hoop and
soil pipe thus filling up all the crevices.
The earthenware of closet or like apparatus which is provided with a flange all
round on its outer side can now be placed in position in the mouth of the soil pipe, the
said flange of earthenware resting on bed of putty before referred to, and extending to,
and coming in contact with the inner side of leaden hoop or coupling which is beaten
down on to the top of flange of earthenware. The whole forming when completed an
effectual welded joint.

Water Closets, Sinks, Drains, and like Apparatus.
I, WILLIAM CHEAL, of No. 34 London Street, Worthing, in the County of Sussex,
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:-
The object of this my invention is to effect a secure, binding, and watertight joint
between the Earthenware portions of Water Closets and the leaden Soil Pipes com-
monly used for Sinks, Drains, and like Apparatus and furthermore to overcome all
disadvantages from leakage, such as bad and injurious smells, damp floors etc.
To accomplish this object, I employ several parts and combination of parts, which I
now proceed to describe, reference being had to the drawings hereunto annexed, and
the figures and letters of reference marked thereon, similar letters and figures indica-
ting corresponding parts on all the figures alike.
Fig. 1. is a Sectional Elevation of lead Soil Pipe and hoop or sink, shewing first
operation of making joint.
Fig. 2. is a Sectional Elevation of same shewing second operation of making joint.
Fig. 3. is a Sectional Elevation of same shewing third operation of making joint.
Fig. 4. is a Sectional Elevation of same with Earthenware, shewing the fourth
operation of making joint.
Fig. 5. is a Sectional Elevation through the same, shewing the complete joint with
Earthenware attached.
Through the floor A, is a circular aperture a of such a diameter, that the leaden
pipe B may be passed in and project through it to such a distance that it may be
beaten over during the several operations.
The upper circumference of the said aperture a is countersunk or enlarged as
shewn at to such a diameter and depth, that when the operations are completed, the
overlapped joints lie snugly below the surface of the floor, forming by this means a
level surface upon which to place the earthenware flange e of the closet E.
The short cylindrical shaped hoop D, is of such an inside diameter that the flange e
of the earthenware closet E fits into it. The lower edge of the hoop D, has a flange d
at right angles which rests upon the floor A, and is pressed into the countersunk
hole C, as shewn at ', the projecting piece being bent vertically upwards against
the sides of the Pipe B. The projecting edge of the pipe B, is now beaten and bent
over the flange c', as shewn more clearly in Fig. 2. at . The side of the Earth Pipe B,

page_text: together with the flange e of the cylindrical hoop D, are now bent over at F,
Fig. 3, until the whole lies horizontally in the countersunk hole C, and in a level plane
with the horizontal flange d, which rests on the floor A.
The spaces G, are then filled with putty, white lead, or other suitable substance as a
safeguard against leakage.
The earthenware pipe E, Fig. 4, is then placed in the cylindrical hoop D, with the
flange e resting on the horizontal leaden flange d and on the bed of putty, white lead
or other substance.
To complete the joint, the flanges 2 of the hoop D, are battered and bent over the
earthenware flange e in the manner shewn in Fig. 5.
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 :-
1. My Improved Method of attaching Pipes to the Earthenware of Water Closets,
Sinks, Drains, and like Apparatus, such method consisting of countersinking the floor,
and bending the lead in the manner substantially as, and for the purposes hereinbefore
described, set forth and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
