PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method of and Means for Fixing Rain Water,.
Soil, and other Eared Pipes.
I WILLIAM HERBERT WILLIAMS of 15, Goodall Street, Walsall in the County.
of Stafford, Registered Plumber do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved method of and means for fixing rain
water, soil, and other eared pipes, whereby such pipes may be removed and fixed
without injury to the pipes and whereby any particular pipe forming a stack may-
be removed with ease without interfering with the remainder. By this invention.
economy is effected as the work of removing and refixing can be done by one man,
consequently there is a great saving in the cost of labor as compared with the-
present method of fixing such pipes.
In accordance with this invention I provide hold fasts for securing the eared
pipes to the wall consisting of spikes formed with a shoulder at a suitable distance-
from one end. This end I form with a screw thread for a desired distance towards.
the shoulder and on this screw thread works a nut.
To fix the pipe the hold fast is first driven into the wall to the required distance.
with a socketed or other chisel and the ears of the piping are slipped over the
threaded end or portion of the hold fast, the nut is then placed in position and.
screwed up tight.
By the use of the hold fast above described the down pipes may be fitted
at any convenient distance from the wall thus enabling them to be painted all.
round.

A New or Improved Method of and Means for Fixing Rain Water,.
Soil, and other Eared Pipes.
1 WILLIAM HERBERT WILLIAMS of 15 Goodall Street, Walsall in the County
of Stafford, Registered Plumber 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 relates to a new or improved method of and means for fixing rain
water, soil and other eared pipes, whereby such pipes may be removed and fixed
without injury to the pipes and whereby any particular length of pipe forming
a portion of a stack may be removed with ease without interfering with the
remainder.
By this invention economy is effected as the work of removing and refixing can
be done by one man consequently there is a great saving in the cost of labor as.
compared with the present method of fixing such pipes.

page_text: In accordance with this invention I provide hold fasts for securing the eared
pipes to the wall consisting of spikes formed with a shoulder at a suitable distance
from one end. This end I form with a screw thread for a desired distance towards
the shoulder and on this screw thread a nut is applied.
In the drawings annexed hereto
Fig. 1 represents a hold fast according to this invention with the screw nut
removed.
Fig. 2 represents the improved holdfast with the screw nut applied.
a is the spike end of the holdfast, b the shoulder or flange which when driven
fully in will abut against the wall into which the spike is driven. c is the screw
threaded end of the holdfast, for receiving first the ear of the pipe as indicated at e
Fig. 2 to be secured in position and secondly the nut d.
To fix the pipe the hold fast is first driven into the wall to the required distance
by aid of a socketted punch fitting over the screw-threaded head c and the ears of
the piping e are to be slipped over the threaded end or portion of the holdfast as
at e, Fig. 2. The nut d is then placed in position and screwed up tight.
By the use of hold fasts such as are herein described the pipes may be fitted at
any convenient distance from the wall face thus enabling such pipes to be painted
all round whilst in situ.
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 method of and means for fixing rainwater, soil and other eared
pipes as set forth.
2. In hold fasts for holding eared pipes the spike nail a, flange b, screwed head c,
and nut d as and for the purposes herein specified.
Dated this 26th day of March 1896.
