PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Supplying Disinfecting or Deodorising Liquids to
Water Closets, Urinals, and the like.
I, WILLIAM Ross Junior of 49 Bentinck Road, in the Town and County of
Nottingham, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has reference to an improved method of supplying Condy's fluid,
carbolic acid, or other disinfectants oi deodesing liquids to water closets, urinale,
and the like.
As applied to a watercloset my improvements consist in fitting and connecting to
the water supply pipe between the cistern and the watercloset basin. A projecting
branch pipe which is curved or bent downwards to enter a glass bottle or other
vessel and extend to its lower pait. This vessel would coutain a solution of
Condy's fluid or other disinfecting or deoderising materials, and have its head
secmed to a fork or other clutch o hook, on upper part of branch pipe.
When the handle of closet is pulled to flush out the pan of closet the water
passing though pipe from cistern will by lateral induction diaw a supply of the
disinfecting fluid through sy phon branch from bottle to combine with it, and this
action will take place at each use of closet, and the disinfecting fluid continue to
flow as long as the discharge of water goes on. The vessel if made of glass will
show when the supply of disinfectant requires to be replenished, and by simply
detaching it from its support on branch pipe, it can be refilled and then replaced.
Where a syphon walei closet is used the junction of disinfecting branch with
water pipe would preferably be about two feet below cistern, and where a valve is
used this level would preferably be a little higher

Improvements in Supplying Disinfecting or Deodorising Liquids to
Water Closets, Urinals, and the like.
I, WILLIAM Ross, Junior, of 49 Bentinck Road, 10 the Town and County of
Nottingham, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement in writing that is to say :-
This invention has reference to an improved method of supplying Condy's fluid,
carbolic acid, or other disinfectants or deodensing liquids to water closets, urinals,
and the like.
And in order that my said invention and the manner of performing or carrying
same into practice may be properly understood, I have hereunto appended a sheet
of explanatory drawings, in which Figure 1 represents my improvements as
applied in connection with the discharge pipe from a water cistern. Figure 2

represents an enlarged detached view of same; while Figures 3 and 4 represent
detail fittings.
Referring to these drawings
closet basın
-
As applied in connection with a water closet my improvements consist in fitting
and connecting to the water supply pipe A between the cistern A' and the water
A projecting branch lead pipe a which is curved or bent downwards
at a to enter a glass bottle on other vessel B and extend to its lower part.
vessel would contain a solution of Condy's fluid or other disinfecting or deoderising
materials.
This
A metallic band b would be secured round the neck of bottle B, and a metal
strip with slotted end would be soldered or secured to this band as shown detached in
Figure 4. The upper horizontal part of pipe a would be soldered flash within
a brass sleeve e having its end e' projecting within the pipe A, and secured to said
pipe A by a flange and wooden sciews (as shown in Figure 3. The bent oL
curved end of a projecting aim et from flange c³ would enter the slot in plate
so carry the bottle B
The action is as follows:-
and
When the handle of closet is pulled and the lever Z of cistein A¹ is drawn
downwards to flush out the pan of closet the water passing through pipe A. from
cutein A will by lateral induction draw a supply of the disinfecting fluid through
syphon branch pipe a from bottle B to combine with it, and this action will
take place at each use of closet, and the disinfecting fluid continue to flow as
long as the discharge of water goes on. The vessel B if made of glass will
show when the supply of disinfectant requnes to be replenished, and by simply
detaching it from its support on branch pipe A it can be iefilled and then replaced.
Where a syphon water closet is used the junction of disinfecting branch a with
water pipe A would preferably be about two feet below cistern A¹, and where a
valve is used this level would proferably be a little higher.
Having now particularly described and ascertamed the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction and arrangement of appliances for supplying disinfectants to
water closets, urinals, and the like, substantially as bereiu described in reference to
and shown in the accompanying diawings.
