AN AFTERFLUSH APPARATUS FOR ATTACHMENT TO WATER WASTE PREVENTING CISTERNS
Year: 1884

page_text: EDWARD LUKE STACEY (Engineer) 109 Park St Camden Town London do hereby
declare the nature of my invention to be AN AFTERFLUSH APPARATUS FOR
ATTACHMENT TO WATER WASTE PREVENTING CISTERNS to be as follows:-
This invention is to supply an existing want & by its means to give an after-
flush to Water Closets &c or to any other apparatus requiring an afterflow of water,
or fluid of any kind, after the usual discharge has been emptied.
The invention consists of a pan made in various shapes & sizes & capable of
holding water or other fluids in varing quantities & constructed either with open
or covered top & manufactured in any kind of metal or other material.
The aforesaid pan to be fitted or fixed inside an outer case, or false bottom, & so
arranged by means of rods or levers, or by any & every other means by which the
movements of the said pan may be obtained, to give the desired effect.
The outer case to be made of any suitable material & arranged, either as part of
a special made cistern, or made suitable for attachment to any other kind of cistern,
requiring an after discharge.
The Afterflush pan is so constructed & attached for working, that when the
discharge valve is opened, part of the escaping fluid, fills the said pan & until the
valve is replaced, the pan retains its contents, & on the reverse action of the valve,
the pan discharges its contents & efficiently seals the Closet against any escape of
Sewer gas &c.
In the Drawings, Fig. 1. shows the pan & case attached to an ordinary waste
preventer by rivetting the cases together at the lines ✗
When the lever (A) is pulled down as in Fig. 2, the discharge valve B is opened,
the pan (D) is raised & is tilled by the escaping water & retains the afterflush
until the lever is released.
In drawing 1 & 2 the pan is conected to the lever by a rod (E) passing thro' the
tube (G).

EDWARD LUKE STACEY Engineer 109 Park St Camden Town London do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for GIVING AN AFTERFLUSH TO WATER
CLOSETS, OR TO OTHER APPARATUS REQUIRING AN AFTERFLOW OF FLUID and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:—

The aforesaid pan to be fitted or fixed inside an outer case or false bottom, & so
arranged by means of rods & levers, or by any & every other means that the 1
movements of the said pan may be obtained to give the desired effect.
The outer case to be made of any suitable material & arranged either as part
of a special made cistern, or made suitable for attachment to any other kind of
cistern requiring an after-discharge.
The Afterflush pan is so constructed & attached for working, that when the 1
discharge valve is opened, part of the escaping fluid fills the said pan & until the
valve is replaced the pan retains its contents, & on the reverse action of the valve,
or when the lever is released the pan discharges its contents & efficiently seals
the Water Closet against any escape of Sewer-gas &c.
In the Drawings, which are those filed with the provisional specification a
Figure 1 shows the pan & outer case attached to an ordinary waste preventing
cistern, by rivetting the cases together at the lines, X.

When the lever A is pulled down as shown in figure 2, the discharge valve B is
opened, the pan D. is raised & is filled with the escaping water, which it retains
until the lever is released.
In Drawings 1 & 2 the pan is connected to the lever, by a rod E, passing through
& tube G.
