HENRY WHILEY, of Trafford Bank House, Old Trafford, Manchester, Sanitary
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements relate to sanitary pails or receptacles which have for their object
the removal of offensive matter, in such manner that the same are substantially and
effectively sealed during transit.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I construct the cover of the pail
or receptacle with two downward projecting flanges around the rim or edge thereof,
between which flanges or projections, the ring of india-rubber, or other sealing
substance is placed.
By this means the india-rubber or other sealing substance is more confined as regards
lateral action, and thus when placed in pressure contact with the face or upper rim of
the pail or receptacle, a tight and effectual joint is made.
The double flange may be constructed in various ways, by the employment of double
or compound angle or specially rolled iron or other metal for the under-rim of the lid ;
or by a simple or single angle iron or other metal under-rim of the present con-
struction, in combination with a second angle iron or other metal rim, either attached
to the lid, or forming part of the same. Or a modification may be made by attaching
angle or otherwise formed lugs or projections at intervals round the rim.
The outer downward annular projecting rim being solely for the confinement laterally
and protection of the india-rubber or other sealing substance is, by preference, made
shallower than the inner rim; but this is in no way essential.
Variations of the form of section of iron or other metal may be employed, as well
as in the method of fixing the india-rubber or other sealing substance-which latter
may be accomplished by cementing or by compression or other means-without
departing from the peculiarity of the invention, mainly consisting of the employment
of a secondary rim or substitute therefor, attached to or forming part of the lid of
sanitary pails or receptacles, or both methods combined for the purpose of confining
and protecting the india-rubber or other seal laterally and thus effecting a substantial
and effective construction and seal.

page_text: I, HENRY WHILEY, of Trafford Bank House, Old Trafford, Manchester, Sanitary
Engineer, 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 :-
The improvements relate to sanitary pails or receptacles which have for their object
the removing of offensive matter, in such manner that the same are substantially and
effectively sealed during transit.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I construct the cover of the pail
or receptacle, as will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings with
two downward projecting flanges a, a, around the rim or edge thereof, between which
flanges or projections, the ring of india rubber b, b, or other sealing substance is
placed.
By this means the india-rubber or other sealing substance is more confined as regards
lateral action, and thus when placed in pressure contact with the face or upper rim of
the pail or receptacle, a tight and effectual joint is made.
Fig. 1, of the drawings shows a plan view of the under side of a cover constructed
according to my improvements; Fig. 2, an edge view; Fig. 3, a section; and Fig. 4,
a plan of the top side thereof.
The same letters indicating corresponding parts wherever they occur.
The double flange may be constructed in various ways, by the employment of double
or compound angle or specially rolled iron or other metal for the under rim of the lid,
or by a simple or single angle iron or other metal under-rim of the present con-
struction, in combination with a second angle iron or other metal rim, either attached

angle or otherwise formed lugs or projections at intervals round the rim.
The outer downward annular projecting flange or rim a, a, being solely for the con-
finement laterally and protection of the india-rubber or other sealing substance, is,
by preference, made shallower than the inner rim, but this is in no way essential. The
fittings shown on the drawings, or the construction of the lid in other respects, do not
form any part of this my present invention, as the improvements may be applied to
the covers of sanitary receptacles of other forms of construction than that particularly
shown.
Variations of the form of section of iron or other metal may be employed for the
construction of the flanges or rims, as well as in the method of fixing the india-rubber
or other sealing substance-which latter may be accomplished by cementing, or by
vulcanization in situ, or by compression, or other means, without departing from the
neculiarity of the invention.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The employment of a secondary projecting metallic rim, or flange, or the substitute
therefor, by being attached to or formed part of the lids of sanitary pails or receptacles,
or by both methods combined, for the purpose of confining laterally and for
protecting the india-rubber or other seal in manner substantially as herein shown and
described.
