Improvements in Syphons for Water Waste Preventers.
Year: 1896

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Syphons for Water Waste Preventers.
I, MILTON SYER, of Hanover Works, Peckham, in the County of Surrey, Sani-
tary Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in syphons for water waste preventers,
which consists of a cistern divided into three compardments, the centre one
being reserved for the syphon apparatus and the connection for flushing. Each
movable partition is about one third the depth of the cistern from the top and
is provided with grooves to slide down tongues or projections. On suitable
bearings on each side near the water inlet valve I place a rocking bar with a
lever attached and pull down chain, and on the opposite side of the lever on the
other side of the rocking bar I form or construct a fork with bearings at the
ends of each prong which engage with a pin on each side of the syphon for
lifting the same when a flush of water is required. From the valve inlet I fix
a ball lever constructed in a ring shape around the syphon so that the hall lever
will open and close the valve according to the fall and rise of the water in the
cistern.
The important features of my invention are the movable partitions forming the
syphon, and the lifting trigger arrangement for lifting these slides so as to allow
the water way. The slides may be operated by a lifting arrangement or without:
In case they are used without the lifting arrangements then they do not go to
the bottom of the cistern but are kept up to allow water way. When the lifting
arrangements are used the slides go quite to the bottom of the cistern and the
lift allows water way.
Both slides are movable and are arranged to lift, or only one at a time if
desired.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Syphons for Water Waste Preventers.
I, MILTON SYER, of Hanover Works, Peckham, in the County of Surrey, Sani-
tary Engineer, 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 relates to improvements in syphous for water waste preventers.

page_text: And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters
and figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a side elevation of the water waste preventer. The dotted lines
indicate the interior arrangements, also the cover.
Fig. 2, is an end elevation.
Fig. 3, is a plan of the top shewing the interior mechanism.
Fig. 4, is a plan of the cover.
My invention consists of a cistern a divided into three compartments b, b¹,
and 6, the centre one being reserved for the syphon apparatus c and the con-
nection d for flushing. Each movable partition e is about. one half the depth
of the cistern a from the top and the cistern is provided with grooves f to allow
movable partitions e to slide down between tongues or projections. On suitable
bearings on each side near the water inlet valve I place a rocking bar with
a lever attached and pull down chain k, and on the opposite side of the lever j
on the other side of the rocking bar i I form or construct a fork with bearings
at the ends of each prong which engage with a pin m on each side of the syphone
for lifting the same when a flush of water is required. From the valve inlet h
I fix a ball lever n constructed in a ring shape around the syphon so that the ball
lever will open and close the valve according to the fall and rise of the water in
the cistern.
The important feature of my invention is the movable partitions forming the
syphon, so as to allow the waterway. The slides may be operated by a lifting
arrangement or without. In case they are used without the lifting arrangements
as in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, then they do not go to the bottom of the cistern but. are
kept up to allow a water way. When lifting arrangements are used the slides
go quite to the bottom of the cistern and the lift allows water way.
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:
1. In syphons for water waste preventers, the combination of the various parts
as above described in the specification, for the purpose specified.
2. In syphons for water waste preventers, the combination of the various parts
of mechanism, as described in the above specification and according to the accom-
panying drawing.
Dated this 22nd day of September 1897.
