I, WILLIAM HENRY TYLOR, of 2 Newgate Street, in the City of London, Brass
founder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improvement in urinals which consists in placing the
basin of a urinal on a pedestal, or column, or in forming the said basin with a
pedestal, or column, so that the entire urinal may be detached from, and stand away
from, or independent of, the wall of a room, or other space, in which it is fixed or
placed. The basin is preferably so shaped that the person using it is enabled to stand
well over it, whereby spilling of liquid is avoided. In urinals placed, as they generally
are, against a wall, or between side cheeks, or partitions, this effect is not easily
attained, but in urinals placed on, or formed with, pedestals, columns, or central
supports, the basins can be so shaped as to avoid spilling by the person using it, who
can, in fact, adjust his dress before retiring from position over the basin, and such
urinals may consequently be used on wooden, or even carpeted, floors without danger
of the latter being wetted. The waste and water pipes may be arranged to pass up
through the pedestal or other central support.

page_text: I, WILLIAM HENRY TYLOR, of 2 Newgate Street, in the City of London, Brass
founder 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, reference being had to the accompanying two sheets of Drawings
and to the letters and figures marked thereon, that is to say :-
My invention relates to an improvement in urinals which consists in placing the
basin of a urinal on a pedestal or column, or in forming the said basin with a
pedestal or column so that the entire urinal may be detached from, and stand away
from, or independent of, the wall of a room, or other space in which it is fixed
or placed.
In the Drawings hereto annexed, Figure 1 is a vertical section of a urinal the
basin A of which rests on a column or pedestal B, the waste pipe C being arranged
to pass down through the said pedestal or column B, and the flushing-water pipe D
at the back. Figure 2 is a vertical section of a urinal the basin A of which is formed
in one piece with the pedestal B.
The basin A is preferably so shaped (as shown in the plan Figure 3) that the
person using it is enabled to stand well over it, whereby spilling of liquid is avoided.
In urinals placed, as they generally are, against a wall, or between parallel or
radiating side cheeks or partitions, this effect is not easily attained, but in urinals
• placed on, or formed with, pedestals, columns or central supports, the basin can be so
shaped as to avoid spilling by the person using it, who can in fact adjust his dress
before retiring from position over the basin; and such urinals may consequently be
used on wooden, or even carpeted floors without danger of the latter being wetted.
The waste pipe C may be arranged, if preferred, so as to pass down outside the
column or pedestal supporting the basin; but I prefer, in most cases, to arrange it
so as to pass inside the said column or pedestal. The flushing-water pipe may also
be arranged to pass up through the column, pedestal, or other central support, or it
may be otherwise arranged according to circumstances.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
Placing the basin of a urinal on, or forming the same with, a pedestal, column, or
other support, in such manner that the urinal may stand detached, away from, or
independent of, the wall of the room or other space in which it is fixed or placed,
substantially as hereinbefore described, and illustrated in the Drawings hereto
annexed.
