outlet valve. f inlet cock connected to supply cistern. Garm on plug of inlet
cock with weight at H. I lifting arm with centre at J and fitted with two
pins K. K. passing through the bottom of outlet valve to bottom of plug.
L regulateing rod connecting lifting arm to arm of inlet cock M connecting pipe
to closet. N handle or knob connected to regulateing rod.
By lifting the handle of lever G, an upward movement is given to the lifting
arm I and pins K. K. and the arm of inlet cock has shown by dotted lines. The
inlet cock is closed. The outlet valve is opened by the pins removeing the plug.
The plug riseing in the water and desending with the water its own weight and
the suction of the valve forceses the pins down, closeing the outlet valve and

JOHN BELL 19 Lower Mall Hammersmith Middlesex Plasterer. I 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:-
a, a water-waste preventer a square or round tube to contain a given quantity of
water b, cap or cover lid to tube c valve chamber tapering inside doutlet valve
E pneumatic or floating plug to outlet valve inlet cock connected to supply
cistern G arm on plug of inlet cock with weight at H I lifting arm with centre
at J, and fitted with two pins K. K. working on centres and passing through
bottom of outlet valve to bottom of plug E L regulating rod connecting lifting

In drawing
Fig. 1 is a section elevation showing the tank discharging
Fig. 2, elevation of tank before discharging, and
Fig. 3, section plan on line A. B. in Fig. 1.
By the downward pressure of the knob N. an upward movement is given to the
lifting arm I, pins K. K. and the arm G on plug of inlet cock, by means of the
regulating rod L, L. The inlet cock by this means is closed, and the outlet
valve is opened by the pins K. K. raising the plug E, which floats to the top of
the water, and then decends with the water. By the suction of the water and its
own weight the pins K. K. are forced down, causeing a downward movement to
the arms G and I and regulating rod L. L. thus closing the outlet valve and

regulating rod L, L.
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
The pneumatic or floating plug to valve, also the mechanical contrivance
connected with it, as described & illustrated.
