PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Waste or Slop Water Closets.
We, JOIN DIBBLE and SAMUEL HENRY DIBBLE, trading as Samuel Dibble and
Son, of 30, Ledsam Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Builders,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of the improvements hereinafter described relating to
waste or slop water-closets and has for its object the utilization of the waste or
slop water for the purpose of flushing closets, whereby fouling or soiling of the
pan or basin of the closets is obviated. By our invention we place the whole of
the flushing apparatus above the level of the ground. In carrying our invention
into effect we provide an ordinary sink connected with an outlet pipe which passes
through the wall and discharges into an open channel the channel being connected
and discharging its contents into a tilt basin working on pivots and arranged so
that when full precipitates the contents into a receptacle and hence into a
syphon trap which is connected to the closet pan.
The receptacle aforesaid is preferably made of earthenware though in some
eases we may make it in sheet iron steel or other material the top portion of the
said receptacle being a little larger than the tilt basin narrows down in the form
of a neck to fit the socket of the syphon trap. Into this neck we fit a grid. The
open channel aforesaid in in the form of a taper trough, the end bending at right
angles and fitting into a recess in the end of the receptacle directly over the tilt
basin or it may be straight or as required to be adapted to any position so as to
form a connection between the sink pipe.
The open channel is arranged to receive the overflow pipe from a bathrooin or
any other waste water which may be discharged from the house.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Waste or Slop Water Closets.
We, JOHN DIBBLE and SAMUEL HENRY DIBBLE, trading as Samuel Dibble and
Son, of 30, Ledsam Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Builders,
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 follow-
ing statement:-
This invention consists of the improvements hereinafter described, relating to

page_text: waste or slop water closets for the purpose of flushing closets whereby fouling or
soiling of the pan or basin. is obviated. By our invention we place the whole of
the flushing apparatus above the level of the ground.
.
In carrying our invention into effect we provide an ordinary sink connected with
an outlet pipe which passes through the wall and discharges into an open channel;
the channel being connected to and discharging its contents into a tilt basin work-
ing on pivots and arranged so that when full, precipitates its contents into a recep-
tacle and hence into a syphon trap which is connected to the closet-pan.
'
The receptacle aforesaid is preferably made of earthenware though in some cases
we may make it of sheet iron, steel, or other material; the top portion of the said
receptacle being a little larger than the tilt basin, narrows down in the point of
neck to fit the socket of the syphon trap. Into this neck we fit a grid. The open
channel aforesaid is in the form of a taper trough the end bending at right angles
and fitting into a recess in the side of the receptacle directly over the tilt basin,
or it
may be straight or as required to be adapted to any positions, so as to form a
connection between the sink pipe and tilt basin. The open channel is arranged
to receive the overflow pipe from a water cistern, or the water from a bath room or
any other waste water which may be discharged from the house. The nature of
our invention will be more clearly understood from the accompanying drawings,
the same letters referring to similar parts throughout.
Figure 1 is a section showing the complete apparatus.
Figure 2, a transverse section, and
Figure 3, a plan of our combined water closet and sink.
Figure 4 is a plan showing the position taken by the open channel when con-
nected to the sink.
Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, show an enlarged view of the open channel.
Figure 3 is a modification of our invention, A, represents an ordinary sink
having a brass outlet pipe B, provided with a trap door, b, which discharges the
water from the sink into an open channel, 1), connected to the tilt basin, E which
is pivoted at F, F, and capable of tilting when full into the position indicated in
dotted lines at Figure 1. The specially constructed receptacle G receives the con-
tents of the tilt basin E which fall on the grid H and flow into the syphon trap, I,
and hence into closet pan J at the rim K thus flushing the closet. The receptacle G
may be made in earthenware, sheet iron, or steel or other material.
The open channel shown in Figures 5 & 6 is intended for use when the sink
is placed directly at the back of the receptacle or tipper box, as shown at Figure 4
in which case the outlet pipe B discharges into the open channel D3 which in like
manner discharges through the bent part M into the tilt basin E the action being
the same as in Figures 1, 2, and 3.
Figure 7 shows a section taken on the line a, b, the turned up parts P, P, prevent
the water splashing over the sides of the channel D², the slot S at Figure 6 is to
take the discharge pipes from the sink.
Figure 8 is a section taken on the line c, d, showing the position of the outlet M.
Figures 9 & 10, show enlarged views of an open channel which we use in place
of those shown at 1 and D2 Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. B is the brass outlet pipe from
the sink to the channel D³, to the outlet h is connected the syphon strap Q which
discharges into the basin E. The object of this arrangement is to prevent any
sewer gas or wind reaching the sink A. In the arrangement shown at Figure 3
we place a syphon of the form R in the wall between the sink and the receptacle Q
or between the sink and channel which prevents any sewer gas or wind from
reaching the sink and constitutes the flush for the closet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. The combination of a sink and open channel adanted to disohance clas

page_text: into a tilt basin working in a receptacle and hence into a closet pau substantially
as described and illustrated and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of a sink and open or partly open channel D² and tilt basin
arranged to flush a water closet substantially as described and illustrated at
Figure 5, 6, 7, and 8.
3. The combination of a sink and open or partly open channel such as D, Dº, D³,
and tilt basin J substantially as described and set forth.
