1, HENRY WILLIAM ALLAN of Elmbank Foundry, in the City of Glasgow,
Ironfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for object to obviate the inconvenience in fitting, and liability to
derangement by unequal expansion and otherwise of the pipe connections, which are
usually made in several jointed pieces between the outlets from water closets,
lavatories, jaw-boxes and the like and the soil pipes into which they discharge, and to
that end the invention consists in forming in a single piece with a length or stalk of
the soil pipe either in cast metal, earthenware or other material, a branch constituting
the connection therefrom to the outlet orifice of the closet or lavatory or other fitting,
the said branch terminating at or near the floor level in a flange whereby it may be
bolted or fastened to the lower end of the trap.
In the flange which is preferably of cylindrical boxed form notches are cut where-
into snugs or tongues formed on the lower end of the trap are passed in fitting the
parts together the trap being afterwards turned to lock it with the flange and the
joint being made tight by cement or similar material. In lieu of the flanged
interlocking joint a plain flanged and bolted joint or a spigot and faucet or similar
joint may be formed to connect the branch from the soil pipe to the trap of the closet,
and in the branch, when applied to a closet, a horn or inlet faucet may be formed for
connecting the waste pipe from a bath or wash hand basin. The branch pipe may be
conveniently supported by a saddle secured to the joisting within the building to
which it is applied, a heel piece being formed on the branch to prevent it slipping in
the saddle.
There being no joint in the length of the branch and the soil pipes being usually
carried outside the walls of houses and other buildings, offensive odours resulting
from leakage are, by the means described, entirely avoided, while as the single joint
in the improved soil pipe connection is carried to or above the floor level the
necessity for tearing down wood and masonwork for repair of the joints is entirely
obviated.

I, HENRY WILLIAM ALLAN of Elmbank Foundry, in the City of Glasgow,
Ironfounder, 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 object to obviate the inconvenience in fitting, and liability to
derangement by unequal expansion and otherwise of the pipe connections, which are
usually made in several jointed pieces between the outlets from water closets,
lavatories, jaw-boxes and the like and the soil pipes into which they discharge; and
to that end the Invention, consists in forming in a single piece with a length or stalk
of the soil pipe either in cast metal, earthenware or other material, a branch
constituting the connection therefrom to the outlet orifice of the closet or lavatory or
other fitting, the said branch terminating at or near the floor level in a flange whereby
it may be bolted or fastened to the lower end of the trap.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention figure 1 is an
elevation of the combined pipe length and connecting branch, figure 2 is a vertical
section showing the branch carried through the wall of a building and connected to a
water closet inside, figure 3 is a plan and figure 4 a cross section of the same the
closet being removed. A, is the pipe length or stalk jointed in the usual way to the
length over and under it of the soil pipe A¹. B, is the connecting branch having
formed on it a flange D for connection to the closet C.
In the flange D, which is preferably of cylindrical boxed form, notches & are cut
whereinto snugs or tongues c formed on the lower end of the closet trap Care passed
in fitting the parts together the trap being afterwards turned to lock it with the flange
and the joint being made tight by cement or other materials as indicated at figure 2.
In lieu of the flanged interlocking joint a plain flanged and bolted joint or a spigot
and faucet or similar joint may be formed to connect the branch B from the soil
pipe to the trap C₁ of the closet, and in the branch B when applied to a closet, a horn
or inlet faucet may be formed for connecting the waste pipe from a bath or
wash hand basin. The branch pipe B, may be conveniently supported by a saddle E,
secured to the joisting F, within the building to which it is applied, a heel piece b,
being formed on the branch B, to prevent it slipping in the saddle E.
There being no joint in the length of the branch and the soil pipe being usually
carried outside the walls of houses and other buildings, offensive odours resulting
from leakage are, by the means described entirely avoided, while as the single joint
in the improved soil pipe connection is carried to or above the floor level the
necessity for tearing down wood and masonwork for repair of the joints is entirely
obviated.

page_text: 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. The improved soil pipe connection for water closets and the like constructed and
fitted, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. A soil pipe connection for water closets, lavatories sinks and the like, composed
of a branch cast or otherwise formed in a piece with a length of the soil pipe,
substantially as hereinbefore described.
