PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements Appertaining to Waste Water Closets.
I, WILLIAM OATES, of Oates and Green, Limited, of Claremount, Halifax, in
the County of York. Sanitary Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to what are known as waste water or trough
closets namely where a row or series of pans are placed side by side, and flushed
from one end, the invention having particular reference to the method of supply-
ing the flushing water. Hitherto the inlet provided in closets of the type referred
to has consisted of a loose "bend" attached to the bottom of the supply fall pipe
said bend being inserted at the flushing end of the trough.
Now the object of my invention is to dispense with the loose bend referred to,
and to form the bend or inlet of the closet inside the trough and integral
therewith.
In carrying out my invention I cast or form in the trough at the flushing end
thereof a suitably curved or inclined passage down which the flushing water is
adapted to flow to flush the closets.
The upper end of the passage is formed with a socket for the reception of the
end of the supply fall pipe, which is thus fitted direct into the trough itself with-
out the necessity of employing a loose bend to give direction to the water when
flushing.

Improvements Appertaining to Waste Water Closets.
I, WILLIAM OATES, of Oates and Green, Limited, of Claremount, Halifax, in
the County of York, Sanitary Engineers, 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:
This invention has reference to that type of water closets known as trough
closets, wherein a series of seats are placed side by side over a common pan
which is flushed from one end thereof, such pan being made of one or more
separate sections duly joined together. The inlet for the flushing water hitherto
bend" fitted
provided in trough closets of this type has consisted of a loose
to the bottom of the supply fall pipe, said "bend" being inserted into the trough
at the flushing end thereof.
"

page_text: The object of this invention is to dispense with this loose "bend" for supplying
the flushing water, and to form the inlet to the trough inside same and integral
therewith.
The method of carrying out my invention is illustrated in the accompanying
drawing which is a longitudinal section of so much of a trough closet as is
necessary to shew my improvements. At the flushing end of the trough a I
form inside and integral therewith a suitable curved or inclined inlet or bend b
of sufficiently large diameter to admit of the passage of the requisite volume of
flushing water. At the upper end of the passage or opening is formed a
socket c adapted to receive the lower end of the supply fall pipe d which is thus
fitted direct into the trough itself without the necessity of employing a loose bend
to give direction to the How of flushing water.
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

In a trough water closet, the formation of the inlet bend integral or in one
piece with the body of the "trough" substantially as herein set forth and shewn
in the drawings.
