water CIOBELS.
We, J. DUCKETT and SON LIMITED, Sanitary Ware Works, Burnley, in the
County of Lancaster, and JAMES DUCKETT, of Woodleigh, Burnley, aforesaid,
Sanitary Ware Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
Our invention consists essentially of improvements in the arrangement and
construction of that class of slop water closets, in which the flushing inlet is below
the closet floor.
Our invention is accomplished as follows:-We fix an automatic tipper and con-
tainer above yard level. On the top of tipper we place a deeply dished cover, in
which holes are pierced to allow slop or rain water to pass through it, and into tipper
below.
At the bottom of the said container, we form an oblong outlet, having a
projecting lip under it to enter the socket of our improved dishstone, which
latter has a trap under it. The dishstone and trap have two inlets, one from
the yard and the other from the said tipper container. The trap prevents noxious
gases passing from the closet basin into the tipper box and yard.
The sink waste pipe will as a rule be nearly straight, and we prefer it of small
dimensions, say about in. diameter, and with the sink arranged so that the waste
pipe may pass through the back of it, and not through the bottom as usual. This
arrangement of sink waste pipe is convenient, and in many cases absolutely necessary
to suit the level of the tipper.
The outside of the tipper container, and dished cover may be made perfectly
plain, but as they are exposed to view, we prefer them to be somewhat ornamental.
In order that our invention may be perfectly clear, we annex longitudinal section
of a complete closet. In Fig. 1 (Sheet 1), A represents the tipper, B the container,
C the dished cover of container made deep to answer as a slop basin. The dish-
stone L is provided with two inlets, one to receive the periodic flush or discharge
from tipper A and the other is formed into the usual grating for the passage of
rain and surface water generally. The yard trap E may also be formed with two
inlets to serve a like purpose. D is the closet trap, F an annular basin, G G pans,
H the closet seat, J the closet floor, K surface of yard, L sink, and M sinkwaste
pipe.
The second part of our invention consists in improvements in the means or method
of providing access to the tipper and container of the slop water closet, for which
Letters Patent were granted to J. and A. Duckett No. 17991 of 1888.
It has hitherto been customary to build brick walls around the tipper container,
and to cover the same at or below the closet floor with a movable cover to protect
the apparatus, and provide access to it.
Our object in this part of our invention is to reduce the cost by dispensing with
the said brickwork, and in lieu thereof, to fix an earthenware frame preferably in two
parts, of which the lower one will rest upon the said tipper container, and the upper
one will preferably telescope into the lower one, and finish at the closet floor.

page_text: Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) fully illustrates how we accomplish this part of our invention,
which is shewn in thick, heavy black lines in the drawing.
N is the tipper; O the container; P the trap; QQ are the inlets for waste water.
Our invention consists as shewn in providing two frames, a bottom frame R and an
upper frame S, the latter sliding telescopically into the former, and furnished with
shoulders, which rest upon the bottom frame R or else upon one or more packing
pieces T, just according to the degree the upper frame is required to be retained in
position or elevated. The vertical length of the upper frame is made to suit the
differences of distance between top of container and floor of closet. It is made
telescopic into frame R, so that it may be raised or lowered to suit level of closet
floor.
We, J. DUCKETT and SON LIMITED, Sanitary Ware Works, Burnley, in the County
of Lancaster, and JAMES DUCKETT, of Woodleigh, Burnley, aforesaid, Sanitary Ware
Manufacturers, 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 :-
.
Our invention consists essentially of improvements in the arrangement and
construction of that class of slop water closets in which the flushing inlet is below
the closet floor.
The first part of our invention is accomplished as follows:-
We fix an automatic tipper and container above yard level. On the top of
container or tipper box we form or place a deeply dished cover of earthenware in
which holes are pierced (or an iron grate may be used instead of ware) to allow slop
or rain water to pass through it and into tipper below.
At the bottom of the said container, we form an oblong outlet having a projecting
lip under it to enter the socket of our improved dish-stone which latter has a trap
under it. The dish-stone and trap have two inlets, one from the yard and the other
from the said tipper container. The trap prevents noxious gases passing from the
closet basin into the tipper box and yard. The sink waste pipe will as a rule be
nearly straight, and we prefer it of small dimensions, say about in. diameter, and
with the sink arranged so that the waste pipe may pass through the back of it, and
not through the bottom as usual. This arrangement of sink waste pipe is convenient
and in many cases absolutely necessary to suit the level of the tipper.
The outside of the tipper container, and dished cover may be made perfectly plain,
but as they are exposed to view we prefer them to be somewhat ornamental.
In order that our invention may be perfectly clear, we will refer to the drawings
accompanying our Provisional Specification, which represent a longitudinal section
of a complete closet. In Fig. 1 (Sheet 1), A represents the tipper, B the container,
C the dished cover of the container made deep to answer as a slop basin. The dish-
stone L' is provided with two inlets, one to receive the periodic flush or discharge
from tipper A and the other is formed into the usual grating for the passage of rain
and surface water generally. The yard trap E may also be formed with two inlets to
serve a like purpose. D is the closet trap, F an annular basin, G, G pans, H the
closet seat, J the closet floor, K surface of yard, L sink and M sink-waste pipe.
The second part of our invention consists of improvements in the means or method

page_text: of providing access to the tipper and container of the slop water closet, for which
Letters Patent were granted to J. and A. Duckett No. 17991 of 1888.
It has hitherto been customary to build brick walls around the tipper container,
and cover the same at or below the closet floor with a movable cover to protect the
apparatus and provide access to it.
Our object in this part of our invention is to reduce the cost by dispensing with
the said brickwork, and in lieu thereof to fix an earthenware frame preferably in two
parts, of which the lower one will rest upon the said tipper container, and the upper
one will preferably telescope into the lower one, and finish at the closet floor.
Fig. 2 (Sheet 2) fully illustrates how we accomplish this part of our invention,
which is shewn in thick heavy black lines in the drawing. N, is the tipper; O the
container; P, the trap; QQ are the inlets for waste water. Our invention consists
as shewn in providing two frames, a bottom frame R and an upper frame S, the
latter sliding telescopically into the former, and furnished with shoulders, which rest
upon the bottom frame R or else upon one or more packing pieces T just according
to the degree the upper frame is required to be retained in position or elevated.
The vertical length of the upper frame made to suit the differences of distance
between the top of container and floor of closet. It is made telescopic into frame R
so that it may be raised or lowered to suit level of closet floor.
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 :-
1. In connection with closets flushed with waste or slop water, the combination of
an automatic tipper and container having a deeply dished and perforated cover with
a dish-stone and trap (each provided with two inlets) and a sink waste, substantially
as and for the purpose described and set forth.
2. The manufacture and use of a suitable frame and cover, arranged to enclose
the tipper box or container of slop water closets below the floor level, and adapted to
dispense with the brickwork previously employed for this purpose, and constructed
substantially as described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
