Complete Specification Left, 16th May, 1899-Accepted, 17th June, 1899
uprovements in Drop water Closets.
We, J. DUCKETT AND SON LIMITED, of Sanitary Ware Works, Burnley, in
the County of Lancaster, JAMES DUCKETT, of Woodleigh, Burnley aforesaid,.
ALFRED DUCKETT, Fern Royd, Burnley aforesaid, Sanitary Ware Manufacturers,
and JOHN WHITAKER BULLOCK, of 36, Accrington Road, Burnley aforesaid,
Manager to the said firm, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
Our invention consists of improvements in Patents Nos. 17,991 of 1888 and
8871 of 1897 respectively.
To
Our object is to provide ready access to the tipper in this class of closet, and
also to make them more sanitary and better adapted for their purpose.
accomplish this, we construct the closets substantially as shewn upon drawings
accompanying this specification.
Fig. 1 is a section of the amended closet.
Fig. 2 is a plan of closet floor level.
Fig. 3 is a plan on top of tipper box or container. A is the tipper box or
container, B the tipper, U the buffer, P the trap, E the inlet drain for waste
water, the connecting piece between container and pedestal, G the cover,
Hthe socket, the outlet drain, K the yard or sink gulley, L the access chamber,
M a movable pedestal, N the shaft, and S shews sink waste pipe.
The socket H provides a support for cover G as per Fig. 1. By this arrange-
ment, after removing cover G, ready access is obtained to tipper B and buffer C
for cleansing purposes and for repairs.
At the front of the closet, we have practically no diaphragm below closet floor
consequently there is less surface exposed for soiling, thus rendering the closet
more sanitary than others of its class.
The tipper box A, connecting piece F, and access chamber L are all formed
in two pieces of ware as per Fig. 1.
Fig. 2 shews proposed level of closet floor, but this level may be varied when
necessary and connecting piece F made to suit.

and JOHN WHITAKER BULLOCK, of 38, Accrington Road, Burnley aforesaid,
Manager to the said firm, 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:-
Our invention consists of improvements in Patents No. 17,991 of 1888, and
No. 8871 of 1897 respectively.
To
Our object is to provide ready access to the tipper in this class of closet, and
also to make them more sanitary and better adapted for their purpose.
accomplish this, we construct the closets, substantially as shewn upon drawings
accompanying our Provisional Specification.
Fig. 1 is a section of the amended closet.
Fig. 2 is a plan at closet floor level.
Fig. 3 is a plan on top of tipper box or container. A is the tipper box or
container, B the tipper, by means of which the closet basin and trap P are auto-
matically and periodically flushed in the usual manner by waste water flowing
through yard trap K and drain pipes E from the sink pipe S. For ready access
to the closet, we form an access chamber L with socket H, on which we fit the
removable cover G. By this means, after removing cover G, ready access is
obtained to tipper B, and the buffer C for cleansing purposes and for repairs.
We shorten the diaphragm below closet floor and between access chamber L and
shaft N, consequently there is less surface exposed to soiling at this point, thus
rendering the closet more sanitary than others of its class.
Over the shaft N is fitted a movable pedestal M.
The tipper box A, connecting piece F and access chamber L are all formed
in two pieces of ware as per Fig. 1.
Cover G shews proposed level of closet floor, but this level may be varied when
necessary, and connecting pipes F made to suit.
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 the particular class of slop water closets described, the combination of
tipper box A, access chamber L, shaft N, and cover G, substantially as and for
the purposes described herein, and shewn on the drawing accompanying our
Provisional Specification.
