PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pedestal Water Closets, Slop Sinks, and the like.
I SAMUEL STEVENS HELLYER of 21 Newcastle Street in the County of London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object to provide a pedestal water closet, slop sink or
the like in which a very efficient connection of a lead trap with the closet or the
like is obtained, whilst at the same time the closet is simple in construction, readily
fixed, cleanly in use, and should the closet be broken it can be readily removed and
replaced without destroying the water-seal of the trap or the like.
According to my invention I make the basin proper and the lower portion thereof
which constitutes part of the trap in one piece and the base portion in another
piece-the interior of the said base portion being formed or suited to receive the
trap portion of the basin. The lower edge of the exterior of the basin-that is to
say, that part which is level with the top of the base portion is formed with a part
which is supported by and overlaps the upper part or edge of the base. The lead
trap is continued up outside the trap portion of the closet and is turned over the
upper part or edge of the base portion, so that when the basin is put in place its
overlapping part sits upon the lead so turned over.
Dated this 23rd day of January 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pedestal Water Closets, Slop Sinks, and the like.
I SAMUEL STEVENS HELLYER of 21 Newcastle Street in the County of London
Engineer 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:-
My invention has for its object to provide a pedestal water closet, slop-sink or
the like, in which a very efficient connection of a lead trap with the closet or the
like is obtained whilst at the same time the closet is simple in construction, readily
fixed, cleanly in use and should the closet or the like be broken it can be readily
removed and replaced without destroying the water-seal of the trap or the like.
In the accompanying drawing I have shewn in side elevation in Figure 1 and in
vertical section in Figure 2 a pedestal water-closet to which my invention is applied
from which its application to basins of other form or for other purposes (such as
for use as a slop sink) will also be readily understood.
According to my invention I make the basin proper (A) and the lower portion (a)
thereof, which constitutes part of the trap, in one piece and the base portion (B)
in another piece the interior of the said base portion being formed or suited to
receive the trap portion of the basin. The lower edge of the exterior of the
basin A that is to say that part which is level with the top of the base portion B is
formed with a part a which is supported by and overlaps the upper part or edge
of the base B. The lead trap C is continued up outside the trap portion of the
closet as at band is turned over the upper part or edge of the base portion Bas
at 6 so that when the basin is put in place its overlapping part a² sits upon the
lead so turned over at ².
To give a tight joint of the lead trap around the end of the part a I have shewn
it as having a bead at its end which receives a packing ring d which is interposed

page_text: between the outside of the end of the part a and the opposed inner surface of the
lead trap.
e is cement or the like which is placed between the outside of the part a
and the inside of the part 6 of the lead trap.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.―
.1. A pedestal water closet, slop sink or the like consisting of the basin proper A
and lower portion a (constituting part of the trap) made in one piece and a base
portion B made in another piece and formed to receive the part a a continuation of
the lead trap being situated between them substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

2. A pedestal water closet slop sink or the like consisting of the basin proper
lower portion a and overlapping part all made in one piece and a base portion B
made in another piece and formed to receive the parts a and a2 a continuation of
the lead trap being situated between the said base portion B and the part a and being
turned over the upper part or edge of the base portion so that the part a² rests
upon it substantially as hereinbefore described.
