Complete Specification Left, 23rd Apr.. 189! -Accepted, 18th July, 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Disinfecting and Deoderising Closets,
Urinals, Drains, and the like.
I, BENJAMIN HAIGH of No. 9 Glen Terrace Manchester Road Cubitt Town
Poplar London E. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
It consists of a container of suitable size and shape, on the top of which I fix a
tube or neck having a coned top inverted for filling the container, in the said neck
about half way down I fix a union described in my Patent No. 3752/89 through the
neck and union I pass a tube with a cup end, which can be turned any way to the
current or flush on the union side and a screwed blank end outside or through
the neck the said tube being flattened or made D shape in the union the round part
I pierce with holes and fix a box junction over the holes with a piece of tube
attached which projects down the internal part of the container so that when the
union is attached to a delivery pipe the cup conducts a portion of the flush through
the tubes into the container which is charged with disenfectant and forces it into
the water through the open part of the union.
Dated this 18th day of September 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Disinfecting and Deoderising Closets,
Urinals, Drains, and the like.
I, BENJAMIN HAIGH of 9, Glen Terrace, Manchester Road, Isle of Dogs
Poplar, London, E. Plumber &c. 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 :-
It consists of a container of suitable shape and size in which I fix the tail end of
my patent union described in No. 3752/89 or otherwise. Through the tail piece of
the union I pass a D shaped tube into a L swivel the plug end projecting through
the container with a crosshead to turn the D shaped tube which is sloted at the
other end and the slot is to be turned to or from the current or flush so as to
regulate the flow of disenfectant which overflows through the half open tail end of
the union or gravitates according to where it is fixed in the container. The other
end of the swivel has a tube projecting into the interior of the container.
But in cases where I use the cup valve the swivel is fixed on the bottom of
the container with a tube the required length and the unions and cup valve in this
case I fix on the other end of the tube so as to connect to any pipe without
soldering the beforenamed cup or valve which cup and valve can be turned any
way to a current or flush-the tube part of the valve being screwed in the end of the
union and the cup projecting inside of a flush pipe or otherwise. Thus when the
current or flush is working the cup is pressed upon by the weight of flush water and
being hinged on a crank lever presses open the valve which discharges a regulated
quantity of disinfectant into the flush and when the current is discharged it closes
automatically ready for another charge. From one container any number of
supplies of disinfectant may be branched off and supplied. This being automatic
in action and simple in construction will not be liable to get out of order the
accompanying drawing shows some of the arrangements of the working of my
invention. Letter A shows the container of any shape or size letter B shows

page_text: the swivel to be applied, internal or external.
C shows the lever handle to
turn the D shaped tube to or from the current to regulate supply of disinfectant.
D shows the tubes of any required length. E shows the slot or opening in
the D tube. F shows the unions for connecting to a flush tube. G shows the
cup and valve opened by the flush to work suitable material not workable by
the D tube. H shows the flush or other pipe. I shows the stop cock to shut off
and regulate supply.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The whole arrangement for a apparatus for disinfecting and other purposes
as described and shown by the accompanying drawing and the method of supplying
and regulating the flow of disinfectant as shown and described.
Dated this 23rd day of April 1891.
