COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Gully Trap and Grate.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM BROWN of City Chambers, Clifford Street, York in the
County of York, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My improvements refer to the production of an effectual means of access to the
interior of the traps of gullies and to the drain from same for the purpose of
cleansing.
In the fire clay gullies constructed in accordance with my invention the upper
elbow of the trap is enlarged and its upper side carried in an easy curve upwards to
the inside of the gully at top and an elliptical hole is made in such a position as to
give direct access from the inside of the gully to both the trap and the drain for
the purposes of cleansing same.
This hole, which is of a size proportionate to the outlet Q, is closed by a stopper
made of the same material as the gully and fixed with a joint similar to that known
as Stanford's joint so as effectually to exclude sewer gas and be easily removable.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a sectional plan of the gully taken on line A. B. and shows the con-
struction of the trap.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line. C. D.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line E F. R is a removable metal receptacle for
dirt P is the opening for access, and is formed in a sloping position in the cavity
scooped in the side of the gully, which cavity is shaped so as to give an easy
approach to the access hole from above and also to form a protection for the
stopper. The side of the trap next the gully may be projected slightly within it so
as to give more easy access to the interior of the trap.
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section shewing this projection which is shewn in a vertical
section at Fig. 2 by the dotted lines; in which case the metal bucket R would be
dispensed with, and the access opening P would be made circular in shape.

page_text: Having now described my said invention and the manner in which the same is to be
performed I would have it understood that I do not claim for the metal receptacle R
as shewn, but what I claim is
יג
'
The arrangement, construction and application of the opening at P and parts
connected therewith, and also of the trap as shewn in Fig. 4 and by dotted lines in
Fig. 2 substantially as, and for purposes herein set forth.
Dated this 31st day of October 1892.
