We, WILLIAM OATES and JOHN JOHNSTON GREEN of Oates and Green, Limited,
Claremount, Halifax, Yorkshire, Sanitary Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to an improved form construction and combination of
tipper box, pedestal and seal or trap for waste water closets or "latrines."
According to our invention we form construct or combine in one piece or otherwise
as desired the pedestal or pan, tipper box and trap or seal, the whole being so
arranged that the flush shall be in a direct line from the tipper box through the
pedestal or basin, and trap to the drain pipe. To this end the tipper box is made at
one side of the pedestal pan or basin and the seal or trap on the side opposite
thereto, the base of the trap inclining or curving up to the tipper box or to the
water line and forming or partly forming the bottom of the pedestal or pan which,
therefore, will always contain a quantity of water. The tipper box and parts are fo
arranged that the tipper shall be quite clear of the interior of the pedestal and shall
deliver the water at a point in line with the incline or curve leading from the
tipper box to the trap. To the trap is fitted by a suitable form of socket joint an
elbow or equivalent pipe for connection to the drain, a removeable lid being provided
in order that access to the trap can be easily and quickly had. The said hinged
elbow or connecting pipe can thus be turned to any angle to suit the line of the
drain pipe or conduit.
By the above form, construction and combination of tipper box, pedestal or pan
and trap a much better flush can be given, this being in a straight or direct line
with the trap; there are no corners or projecting parts on which matter can lodge
and accumulate and the whole is neat, compact and can be readily applied..

We, WILLIAM OATES, and JOHN JOHNSTON GREEN of Oates and Green, Limited,
Claremount, Halifax, Yorkshire, Sanitary Engineers, 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:-
This invention has reference to an improved form, construction, and combination

page_text: of tipper box, pedestal and seal or trap for waste water closets or "latrines."
According to our invention we form, construct or combine in one piece or otherwise
as desired, the pan, tipper box, and trap or seal, the whole being so arranged that
the flush shall be in a direct line from the tipper box through the basin, into the
trap.
To this end the tipper box is made at one side of the pan or basin and the
seal or trap on the side opposite thereto, the base of the trap inclining or curving up
to the tipper box or to the water line and forming or partly forming the bottom of
the pedestal pan which, therefore, will always contain a quantity of water.
To more fully illustrate our invention reference is made to the accompanying sheet
of drawing which illustrates an arrangement of a latrine closet having our
improvements applied thereto. A is the pedestal, connected by one or more vertical
pipes B to the combined pan C and tipper box D. The tipper is shewn at E and in
the ordinary manner swivels upon the stud or fulcrum F. The primary object of
our invention is to combine the pan C and tipper box D, and trap G in one piece. It
will be observed in the drawing that the end of the chamber or box D containing the
tipper is opposite the outlet end of the pan, the parts being so arranged that the
tipper will be able to oscillate upon its fulcrum and deliver the water at a point in a
line with the incline or curve leading from the tipper box to the trap. To the said
trap G is fitted a suitable form of socket jointed or elbow pipe H. for connection to
the drain, a movable lid I being used to permit access to the trap. The elbow H
fits on to a lip J on the pan which allows the elbow to be oscillated or turned to any
angle to suit the line or conduit.
By the above form and construction and combination of pan, tipper box and trap
a much better flush can be given this being in a straight and direct line to the trap,
in addition to which there are no corners or projecting parts upon which excreta or
other matter can lodge the whole being neat, compact, and readily applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In waste water closets, the formation of a pan C, with an extension D for the
reception of a tipper, in combination with a trap G constructed and combined as
herein shewn and described.
