PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Flushing Tank Valves.
I, MILTON SYER, of 36 Rye Lane, Peckham, in the County of Surrey,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
My invention relates to improvements in flushing tank valves which consists of a
pipe connected to a selfacting apparatus attached to waste outlet of a urinal. The
actual using of a urinal being all that is required to start the syphou or valve in
the tank to produce a flush of water from a tank.
In the flushing tank I fix a small syphon to the weighted valve and connecting
pipe, and I start the small syphon which in its turn sucks up the weighted valve
and keeps it open until all the water in the tank is discharged. The small syphon
I start by means of a push which sucks the water over and so starts the syphonage-
also it is started by a small electro-magnet or magnetic battery lifting a valve and
allowing the water to pass.
Another method is that when attached to urinals I make the urine which is
voided pass into a small chamber and syphon out of it which starts the small
syphon in the cistern and so opens the valve and gives the required flush.
It will be understood that the shapes materials and parts of the hercinbefore
described apparatus may be varied in many ways within the scope of my
invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Flushing Tank Valves.
I, MILTON SYER, of 36 Rye Lane, Peckham, in the County of Surrey,
Merchant, 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 relates to improvements in flushing tank valves, which consists of a
syphon pipe connected to a weighted diaphragm valve attached to outlet of a
cistern. The actual using of a urinal being one method that is required to start the
syphon and so open valve in the tank to produce a flush of water from a tank.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a vertical section of a flushing tank fitted with a pneumatic apparatus
to discharge the tank.
Fig. 2, is a vertical section of a flushing tank fitted with syphon to discharge the
water from the tank automatically.
Fig. 3, is a vertical section of a flushing tank fitted with an electrical apparatus
for discharging the water from the tank.
In the flushing tank g Fig. 1, I fix a small syphon d to the weighted valve b
and connecting pipe a fitted with a pneumatic valve c, and I start the small
syphon d which in its turn sucks up the weighted valve b and keeps it open until
all the water in the tank is discharged. A perforated box or bell e is attached to
[Price 8d.1

page_text: one end of the syphon d. The small syphon d I start by means of a pneumatic
push which opens a valve and so sucks the water over and thereby starts the
By phonage also it may be fitted as in Fig. 3, with an electro magnet or
magnetic battery c so that the discharge of water from the tank g may be made by
means of the magnet or magnetic battery clifting a valve and allowing the water
to pass.
.
Another method is that when Fig. 2, is attached to: urinals I make the urine
which is voided pass into a small chamber and syphon out of it which starts the.
small syphon d in the cistern and so opens the valve and gives the required flush.
Each of the cisterns or tanks are provided with air pipes f. 1 sometimes start
the small syphon d by opening small-valve with a lever and pull.
It will be understood that the shapes, materials and parts of the hereinbefore
described apparatus may be varied in many ways within the scope of my
invention.
1.1
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: In flushing tank valves, the combination of the syphon d-box e pneumatic
valve c and weighted diaphragm valve b, substantially as herein described-and,
according to Fig. 1, of the accompanying drawing.
2. In Hushing tank valves, the combination of the syphon d boxe and weighted
diaphragm valve, b, substantially as herein described and according to Fig. 2, of the
accompanying drawing.
3. In flushing tank valves, the combination of the syphon d box e electro magnet
or magnetic battery c¹ and the weighted diaphragm valve b, substantially as herein 2
described and according to Fig. 3, of the accompanying drawing.
