We, JOSEPH PLACE AND SONS, LIMITED, of Darwen, in the County of Lancaster,
Sanitary Engineers, and WILLIAM HENRY PLACE, of Ashleigh. Darwen, afore-
said, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
Our invention in gullies consists in placing the trap outside the body of the
gully, but integral therewith. The outlet to the trap is formed near the top
of the gully, whereby the capacity of the gully is not lessened by the trap being
placed within the body of the gully as at present.
The upper portion of the trap is provided with a removeable lid to admit of
the insertion of a rod for cleaning purposes, whilst a cleaning rod can also be
inserted at the top of the gully, whereby the mud and sediment in the trap can
be loosened or disturbed to allow it to pass away with the flush of water.

manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:
-
Our invention in gullies consists in placing the trap outside the body of the
gully, but integral therewith. The outlet to the trap is formed near the top
of the gully, whereby the capacity of the gully is not lessened by the trap being
placed within the body of the gully as at present.
The upper portion of the trap is provided with a removable lid to admit of
the insertion of a rod for cleaning purposes, whilst a cleaning rod can also be
inserted at the top of the gully, whereby the mud and sediment in the trap can
be loosened or disturbed to allow it to pass away with the flush of water.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating our invention:-
-
Fig. 1, is sectional elevation of our improved gully with external gully
trap, and
Fig. 2, is plan view thereof.
Referring to the drawings, letter A represents the gully and B the gully
trap. Our invention consists in constructing the gully with the trap to same
arranged externally of the body of the gully but integral therewith, as shewn.

By the construction of gullies with integral external traps the capacity of
the gully is not lessened as is the case with present constructions of gullies
having the trap arranged inside thereof, and they can easily be cleaned out or
inspected at will.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is:-
The improved construction of gully having a trap external of the body of the
gully and integral therewith, substantially as herein set forth.
