Year: 1872

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Oharles Felix Sebille, of Paris, Department of
the Seine, in the Republic of France, Manufacturer, for the Inven-
tion of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COMPOSITION KNOWN AS SCHISTO-ASPHALTIC
AND BITUMINOUS BETON, AND NOVEL APPLICATIONS THEREOF, TOGETHER WITH
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Felix Scbille
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 22nd August 1872.
I, CHARLES FELIX SEBILLE, of Paris, Department of the Seine, in
the Republic of France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COMPOSITION KNOWN AS SCHISTO-
ASPHALTIC AND BITUMINOUS BETON, and Novel AppLICATIONS THEREOF, TOGETHER
WITH IMPROVED MACHINERY OR APPARATUS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH," to be as
follows:-
----
My Invention relates to the manufacture of a bituminous beton for
agricultural drain pipes, water conduits, and shoots, and all kinds of
pipes and vases.
Also to the construction of pipes of any form, the upper part of
such pipes.being composed of porous materials, and the lower part of
compact materials, no matter what materials may be employed in their

page_text: manufacture, this principle constituting a novelty which may be applied
in an infinity of cases where liquids have to be filtered.
The upper part A, C, of the pipes, shown Fig. 2 of the accom-
panying Sheet of Drawing, is porous, that is to say, combined so as to
permit water to penetrate through it into the pipes.
The lower part B, C, is on the contrary compact, that is to say,
combined so as to hold the water introduced by the part A, C, to lead it
wherever desired.
These pipes are joined by the aid of the jacket or clutch box D,
Fig. 1.
G, Fig. 3, indicates a descent pipe, and Figs. 4 and 5 different arrange-
ments of pipes.
I also propose to manufacture bituminous beton bricks solid, hollow,
or flat in the form of slabs for various purposes, amongst others, to use
them for the basements of walls to prevent damp, and by the addition of
vegetable tar, and even without tar I can make fountains or recipients
of any kind for filtering waters.
The porous bituminous beton is composed as follows:-
River. pit, or other sand
-
88 parts

page_text: SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Charles Felix Sebille in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 18th February 1873.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, CHARLES
FELIX SEBILLE, of Paris, Department of the Seine, in the Republic of 5
France, Manufacturer, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-second day of August, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the thirty-
sixth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give 1
and grant unto me, the said Charles Felix Sebille, Her special licence
that I, tho said Charles Felix Sebille, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said Charles Felix Sebille, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with,
and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during ]
the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "In-
PROVEMENTS IN THE COMPOSITION KNOWN AS SCHISTO-ASPHALTIC AND BITUMINOUS
BETON, AND NOVEL APPLICATIONS THEREOF, TOGETHER WITH IMPROVED MACHINERY
OR APPARATUS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH," upon the condition (amongst
others) that I, the said Charles Felix Sebille, my executors or adminis-
trators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of
their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be a
performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent
Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the dato
of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Charles Felix Sebille, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and

page_text: Also to the combination of pipes of any form, the upper part of
such pipes being composed of porous materials and the lower part of
compact materials, no matter what materials may be employed in their
manufacture or how manufactured, this principle constituting a novelty
which may be applied in an infinity of cases where liquids have to be
filtered.
The bituminous beton drain pipes may, according to their destined use,
be composed of two parts united and welded together by pressure in the
moulding.
- The upper part, A, C, of the pipes, shown Fig. 2 of the accom-
panying Sheet of Drawing, is porous, that is to say, combined so as to
permit water to penetrate through it into the pipes.
The lower part B, C', is on the contrary compact, that is to say,
combined so as to hold the water introduced by the part A, C, to lead it
wherever desired.
These pipes are joined by the aid of the jacket or clutch box D,
Fig. 1.

G, Fig. 8, indicates a descent pipe, and Figures 4 and 5 different
arrangements of pipes.
I also propose. to. manufacture bituminous beton bricks solid, hollow,
or flat, in the form of slabs for various, purposes, amongst others, to, use
them for the basements of walls to prevent damp, and by the addition of
vegetable tar, and even without tar I can make fountains or recipients
of any kind for filtering waters.
The porous bituminous beton is composed as follows:-
River, pit, or other sand
