COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Form of Adjustable Water Closet Basin of any
Required Section and Combination of the same with Inlets Right
and Left.
I WILLIAM THOMAS ALLEN of Uffington House Tamworth Road Gravelly Hill
Birmingham in the County of Warwick Builder 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 its object an improved form of adjustable water closet
basin of any required section and the combination of the same with inlets right &
left by which means I am enabled in the case of deep water closets to obtain
a flush of surface water at the bottom, while the top part of the well remains, the
full diameter of an ordinary water closet.
It consists of a reversible cone basin of earthenware or other suitable material of
any required section with combination of the same to be applied to the bottom of
deep water closets with inlets right and left to connect surface drain for flushing
the same the centre to be a receptacle for excreta to pass through a trap to the
main drain.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise I have appended hereunto a full sized sheet of drawings upon which I
have fully illustrated the nature of my said improvement.
Figure 1., is a longitudinal vertical section through part of a closet showing my
improved combination and basin.
Figure 2., is a cross section of same.
Figure 3., is a plan showing one example of the application of my combination
to a closet.
Figure 4., is a similar plan to Figure 3 but showing another example.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the cone basin A of suitable section
with the top flange a' and having the inlets a² and a³ and this I place preferably
near one of the walls W sufficiently deep down below the floor F for the inlets to
take the surface water. I then form the top part of the closet by means of the
combination B and B which are thus of the full width of the basin A and inverted
cones may be placed as shewn by dotted lines either at 62 or 3 as may be preferred.
I may only have the one inlet a² and run the surface water direct into the basin

page_text: as shewn by Figure 3 where the surface water is connected from the cess pool H by
the drain pipe H¹ to the basin A and after flushing the basin passes through the
syphon D to the main drain or the surface water may be conveyed as shewn
by Figure 4 from the cess pool H by drains H2 to the tilting earthenware basin E
which discharges when full and flushes the basin A through the inlets a² and a³
passing away as in the last example.
The basin may be adjusted as regards the position of the inlets by turning it in
the socket d'. In place of the flange a¹ I may form any suitable form of connection
between the basin A and pipes B. The surface water inlet may be formed in the
pipe B above the basin A.
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 :-
The improved form of basin A made to receive surface water in combination with
the pipes B arranged above it substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth
and shewn upon the accompanying drawings.
