1, HENRY ENOCH Plumber of 30 Hatherley Street Cheltenham in the County of
Gloucester 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 and the drawings accompanying the Provisional Specifica-
tion and numbered Figures 1, 2, and 3:
It is designed to "do away" with the earthenware arm or socket at the back of the
closet or urinal-pan, which is liable to break from frost and other causes, and to
simplify that portion of the apparatus by notching or perforating the earthenware
closet or urinal-pan to receive the metal arm or socket, and the spreader which is
attached to the delivery pipe as shown in Fig. 3.
The arm and spreader is made in copper or other metal. The arm or socket is
made of a short piece of metal tube to which is attached a flat piece of metal plate
which forms the spreader and as the water flows through the delivery pipe and the
arm, it rushes against the spreader and the water is distributed round the pan as
shown in Fig. 3. Figure 1 is a side elevation of the spreader and metal arm
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same with a piece of the spreader plate broken
away to show its internal construction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I
claim is :-
1. To make the earthenware closet or urinal-pan, notched or perforated, instead
of as heretofore with earthenware arm or socket.
2. To make the arm and spreader in copper or other metal.
3. To fix the arm and spreader in the said notch or perforation, or otherwise,
upon the top rim of closet or urinal pan.
4. To use the said metal arm and spreader in combination with the delivery pipe.

in an arm and spreader & also to simplify the apparatus in its attachment of detachment.
It is designed to "do away "with the earthenware arm or socket usually at the
back of the closet or urinal-pan, which is liable to break from frost and other
and to simplify that portion of the apparatus by notehing cutting a clear
passage out of its rim or perforating the earthenware closet, or urinal-pan, to receive
the metal arm or seeket; and the spreader which is attached to the delivery pipe as
shown in Fig. 3.
causes,
The arm and spreader is made in copper or other metal. The arm or socket is
made of a short piece of metal tube to which is attached a flat piece of metal plate
which forms the spreader and as the water flows through the delivery pipe and the
arm, it rushes against the spreader and the water is distributed round the pau as
shown in Fig. 3. Figure 1 is a side elevation of the spreader and metal arm
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same with a piece of the spreader plate broken
away to show its internal construction.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of Figure 3 showing more clearly the spreader with the
short piece of tube, & the socket for coupling as the ordinary union or joint, between the
spreader & the delivery pipe I disclaim the sockel coupling.

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
