Improvements in Water Closets.
Year: 1893

page_text: Date of Application, 7th Mar., 1893
Complete Specification Left, 22nd Nov., 1893-Accepted, 23rd Dec., 1893
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Water Closets.
We, CARL MILBERG ST. AMORY Esquire M.A. Jesus College Cambridge of
26 Alexandra Road, Bedford and GEORGE ROBERT HINGELBERG, Mechanical
Engineer, Crescent Place Dalmuir N.B. do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to an arrangement by which it is possible to apply at will
a douche of water to the extremities directly after stool.
This we accomplish by combining a valve and moveable pipe with a water closet
pan as shewn in the accompanying drawings.
Figure I is a vertical section back towards front.
Figure II is a vertical section right to left.
Like letters refer to like parts in the drawings.
The water closet pan A is preferably provided with a recess B to contain the
moveable pipe when out of use. The moveable pipe C capable of horizontal
movement in the water tight socket E is actuated by the rod G and handle H.
I is the casing of the valve communicating with the water main K. L is a lever
capable of depressing the rod S and the head M which is normally kept pressed
water tight against the shoulder O by means of the spiral spring N.
It is obvious that our present invention can be adapted to existing water
closets.
By means of the handle H (Fig. II) the pipe C is turned into position for use
(see Fig. 1). The water which is drawn from the main is then let on by pressing
down the rod S by means of raising the handle of the lever L thus opening the
valve to supply: the spiral spring. N below the valve making it possible completely
to regulate the gradual letting on of water and the closing of the valve as soon as
the handle of the lever L is relieved.

It is obvious that our present invention can be adapted to existing water
.closets.
By means of the handle H (Figure II) the pipe C is turned into position for use
(Figure 1). The water which is drawn from the main is then let on by pressing
down the rod S by means of raising the handle of the lever L thus opening the
valve to supply, the spiral spring N below the valve making it possible completely
to regulate the gradual letting on of water and ensuring the closing of the valve as
soon as the handle of the lever L is relieved.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The combination of a water closet pan and a pipe capable of horizontal movement
in a water tight socket communicating through a valve with the water main
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
