PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Shoe or Off Set for Waste Pipes from Slopstones, Baths,
Waterspouts, or the like.
I, WILLIAM ARTHUR WALKER, of 4 Trafford Road, Salford, in the County of
Lancaster, Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as.
follows:-
This invention is designed to provide a delivery shoe and off set for waste pipes
or water spouts or the like which can be set to meet a pipe either vertical or at
any inclination thereto and either right or left hand.
It consists essentially in constructing the appliance of two parts connected by a
swivel joint so that one part may be moved to left or right and set at any desired
inclination with respect to the other.
In the shoe the upper part is made with a slight or short bend and a flange
surrounding same and the delivery nozzle with a socket and flange the socket
fitting over the bend of. the upper part and the two flanges fitting together. In
one or both flanges I provide holes or slots to receive bolt or bolts so that the
delivery nozzle can be turned to any desired position. This enables it to be set
no matter what the position of the waste pipe so as to deliver vertically over the
grid or gulley. The upper part is provided with one two or more lugs by which
to fasten it to the wall. When used for the waste pipes from sinks or slop stones
which are usually lead pipes it serves also as a pipe protector to prevent the lead
pipe being turned or bent.
In the off set the two parts are connected together by flanges and bolts which
enables them to be set at any angle. The flanged joint may be at any desired
position either close to one of the bends or at any suitable distance from them
preferably midway between them.

Improved Shoe or Off Set for Waste Pipes from Slopstones, Baths,
Waterspouts, or the like.
I, WILLIAM ARTHUR WALKER, of 4 Trafford Road, Salford, in the County of
Lancaster, 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:-
This invention is designed to provide a delivery shoe and off set for waste pipes or
down spouts or the like which can be set to meet a pipe either vertical or at any
inclination thereto and either right or left hand.

page_text: It consists essentially in constructing the appliance of two parts connected by a
swivel joint so that one part may be moved to left or right and set at any desired
inclination with respect to the other.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which as
an example a shoe for waste pipe is illustrated.

Fig. 3. Front elevation when set to meet a pipe inclined to the other side.

Fig. 7. Sectional plan on line - Figs. 4 and 5.
The shoe I construct in two parts the upper part A of which is provided with a
short projection or bend a standing out at right angles with a flange al surrounding
same and the lower part or delivery nozzle B with a socket b and flange b'. The
socket of the delivery nozzle fits over the bend or projection a of the upper part A
and the flange fits against the flange a¹. The flange b is then clamped to the
flange a¹ by screws or bolts C. I at present prefer to use a clamping ring D
surrounding the flange b' with holes d to receive the bolts (but instead of such
a clamping ring radial slots may be made in one or both flanges so that the delivery
nozzle can be turned to any desired position.
This construction enables the delivery nozzle B to be set so as to deliver vertically
over a grid or gully no matter what the position of the waste pipe E (see
Figs. 2 and 3).
The upper part A of the shoe is preferably provided with one two or more lugs F
by which to fasten it to the wall. When used for the waste pipes from sinks or slop
stones which are usually lead pipes it serves also as a pipe protector to prevent the
lead pipe being turned or bent.
In the off set the two parts are connected together in a similar manner by flanges
and bolts which enables them to be set at any angle. The flanged joint may be at any
desired position either close to one of the bends or at any suitable distance from them
preferably midway between them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. A shoe for waste pipes from slopstones baths down spouts or the like constructed
of two parts connected together by a swivel joint so that the upper part A may be
set at any inclination (either to right or left) with respect to the delivery nozzle
while the delivery nozzle delivers vertically over a grid or gully substantially as
described.
2. A shoe or off set for waste pipes down spouts or other pipes constructed
substantially as described and shown.
