Improvements in Supplying Disinfectants to the Flushing Pipes of
Urinals, Water Closets, and the like.
I THOMAS PANARIO of 48 Octavia Street Battersea in the County of Surrey
Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide simple and efficacious means whereby
disinfectants can be supplied to the flushing pipes of urinals water closets and other
appliances that are flushed in such wise that when the flush is given a certain
quantity of the disinfectant will pass therewith.
To carry out this object I attach or secure in any usual or convenient manner to
the flushing pipe in the desired position an elbowed block wherethrough are made
two small elbowed passages and to the mouths of these passages inside the flushing
pipe are secured or fitted two curved mouthpieces or short tubes one of which is
curved upwardly or against and in line with the flow of the flush and the other is
curved downwardly or with and in line with the flow of the flush both mouthpieces
terminating in or about the central line of the flushing pipe and the area of each of
these tubes is preferably small in comparison with the area of the flushing pipe.
To the other end of the elbowed block I attach or connect the receptacle for the
disinfectant which in all cases is preferably in a vertical position the elbowed block
being arranged accordingly. This receptacle can very conveniently be a bottle on
the mouth or neck of which can be secured a sleeve or cap whereinto this end of
the elbowed block can be screwed in such wise that the ends of the two passages
through the block open into the interior of the receptacle and it is sometimes
convenient that the passage whereon as aforesaid is the mouthpiece that is curved
upwardly or against the flow of the flush should be continued a certain desired distance
in the form of a tube beyond this end of the block into the receptacle for the
disinfectant. All these parts and connections are made properly and duly tight.
Various disinfectants can be used in and with this apparatus. For instance any
solid or dry disinfectant that is soluble in water may be used as for example
permanganate of potash and again any liquid disinfectant that is heavier than
water but capable of solubility therein may be used as for example some carbolic
compounds.
The receptacle is duly filled with the disinfectant and tightly attached or connected
to the outer end of the elbowed block in a preferably vertical position. Then when
a flush is given the rush of water past the mouthpiece that is curved downwardly or
with the flow of this flush will obviously by creating a vacuum therein draw some
of the disinfectant out of the receptacle to mingle with the flush and allow some
of the water of the flush to enter the receptacle through the other mouthpiece that
is curved upwardly or against the flow of the flush whereby this apparatus is
ready to supply more disinfectant with the next flush and so on until all the disin-
fectant in the receptacle has been expended when a fresh supply can be placed
therein.

Improvements in Supplying Disinfectants to the Flushing Pipes of
Urinals, Water Closets, and the like.
I THOMAS PANARIO of 48 Octavia Street Battersea in the County of Surrey
Clerk 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 object of this my invention is to provide very simple and cheap and yet
extremely certain and efficacious means whereby disinfectants can be supplied to
the flushing pipes of urinals water closets and the like or that is to say of other
appliances and apparatus that in the usual course or in ordinary use are flushed and
I effect this object in such wise that when the flush is given a certain quantity of
the disinfectant will pass therewith.
In order the more clearly to explain this my invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I refer to the accompanying drawing wherein
Figure 1 is a section of my apparatus according to one form and style of fitment
and arrangement.
To or with the flushing pipe A I secure or attach or connect in any usual or
convenient or suitable manner it may be as will hereinafter be described and in the
desired position a block B preferably elbowed as is shewn in the drawing and
made of metal or other suitable material wherethrough are made two small
passages D and E and to the mouths of these passages D and E inside the flushing
pipe A are secured or fitted or thereon and therewith are formed two curved short
tubes or mouthpieces F and H of which one tube F is curved upwardly or against
and in line with the flow of the flush and the other tube H is curved downwardly
or with and in line with the flow of the flush both mouthpieces F and H terminating
and opening in the aforesaid opposite directions in or about the central line of the
flushing pipe A and the area of each of these tubes F and H which may be equal
to the other is preferably small in comparison with the area of the flushing pipe A
as also is or may be the area of each of the passages D and E which likewise may
be equal to the other and to or with the other end of the block B I attach or
connect in any usual or convenient or suitable manner a receptacle K for the
disinfectant which may be made of any proper material and of any desired size
and shape but which in all cases is preferably in a vertical position for which
cause it is that the block B is preferably elbowed as is hereinbefore stated and this
block B is arranged in respect of the flushing pipe A accordingly. The receptacle K
can very conveniently as is shewn in the drawing be a bottle on the mouth or neck
of which can be secured a sleeve or collar L whereinto this the outer end of the
block B can be screwed in such wise that the ends of the two passages D and E
open into the interior of the receptacle K and it is sometimes or perhaps even
generally convenient that the passage D whereon is the mouthpiece F that is
curved upwardly or against the flow of the flush as is hereinbefore described should
be continued in the form of a tube M a certain desired distance beyond this end of
the block B into the receptacle K for the disinfectant it may be nearly to the
bottom or end of the same. All these aforesaid parts and connections are made
properly and duly tight in any convenient and usual or other manner and by and
through any ordinary and suitable appliances and devices.
Many and various disinfectants can be used in and with this apparatus. For
instance any solid or dry disinfectant that is soluble in water may be used such for
example as permanganate of potash and again any liquid disinfectant that is
heavier than water but miscible therein and therewith may be used such for example
as what is known as "Jeyes' fluid."
The method of using this apparatus and the action thereof are as follows. The
receptacle K is duly filled with the disinfectant and the water if necessary and is

page_text: tightly attached to or connected with the outer end of the block P in a preferably
vertical position. Then when a flush is given the rush of water past the mouth-
piece H that is curved downwardly or with the flow of this flush will obviously by
creating a vacuum therein draw some of the disinfectant out of the receptacle K
to mingle with the flush as is desired and at the same time some of the water of the
flush will be allowed to enter the receptacle K through the other mouthpiece F that
is curved upwardly or against the flow of this flush whereby this apparatus is ready
to supply in the same manner more of the disinfectant with the next flush and so on
until all the disinfectant in the receptacle K has been expended when a fresh supply
can be placed therein.
As is hereinbefore stated this apparatus may be secured or attached to or con-
nected with the flushing pipe in any usual or convenient or suitable manner and I
shew in the drawing two extremely appropriate methods.
In Figure 1 I shew one method which can be used when it is not considered
desirable to cut or divide the pipe whereby the apparatus can be attached to or
connected with the existing flushing pipe with a minimum of disturbance and
labour. According to this method an hinged or other band N which can surround
the flushing pipe A is formed with or connected to the end of the block B and a
slot P is made in the desired position in and through the wall of the flushing
pipe A which slot P is of such a size and shape that the mouthpieces F and H can
be and are passed therethrough and a flange on the end of the block B is large
enough properly to cover this slot P and then a suitable washer R being preferably
interposed between this flange and the pipe the band N is so clasped and tightened
round the flushing pipe A it may be by the screw or screws T in the ordinary
manner as to make this joint perfectly tight and prevent the passage of any of the
flush through the slot P as is desired.
In Figures 2 and 3 I shew on a smaller scale another method which can be used
when there is no objection to cutting or dividing the pipe whereby the apparatus
can be attached to or connected with the existing flushing pipe also with a minimum
of disturbance and labour. According to this method the block B is formed with
or secured to a short piece of pipe V or it may be attached to or connected with
the same by and through any ordinary flanges W and the flushing pipe A having
been cut or divided in the desired position and so much thereof as is necessary
having been removed this pipe V which preferably is of the same diameter is inter-
posed and connected with the ends of the flushing pipe A in any convenient and
usual or other manner it may be by wiped joints as is shewn in the drawing. In
Figure 2 where the flushing pipe A is vertical and when as is preferable and as is
shewn the receptacle K is in a vertical position the arrangement of the mouth-
pieces F and H and the directions in which they open will be the same as is shewn
in Figure 1 that is to say parallel with the length of the receptacle K but in
Figure 3 where the flushing pipe A is horizontal and when as in this case also is
preferable and as is shewn the receptacle K is in a vertical position the arrange-
ment of the mouthpieces F and H and the directions in which they open will be at
right angles to the length of the receptacle K and so in a similar manner when the
flushing pipe is in any other position for in all cases these tubes F and H must be
curved in line with the flow of the flush and the directions in which they open
must be the one against such flow and the other with such flow in order to produce
the required action of this apparatus as is hereinbefore described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The combination with a flushing pipe A of a block B containing two small
passages D and E mouthpieces F and H fitted to such passages and a receptacle K
for the disinfectant substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore described and
declared.

page_text: 2. The apparatus for supplying disinfectants to the flushing pipes of urinals
water closets and the like substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn in the
accompanying drawing.
