Improvements in and relating to Urinals.
We, J. DUCKETT AND SON LIMITED, of Sanitary Ware Works, Burnley, in the
County of Lancaster, and JAMES DUCKETT, of Woodleigh, Burnley. aforesaid,
Sanitary Ware Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to certain improvements in urinals with the object of
rendering them more sanitary by minimising the fouling surface, and preventing
splashing.
With this object, we fix to the back of the urinal a basin of special form and
construction, which instead of being provided with the usual outlet for attachment
of fall pipe is perforated with a number of holes, which, when the basin is fixed,
come close to and are parallel with the back of the urinal. A long, narrow,
sloping slit or slits may be formed in the basin instead of the said holes or
perforations, to serve the same purpose.
By this means, the fall pipe heretofore attached to the basin is dispensed with
and splashing prevented.
Our invention will be at once understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings:-
Fig. 1 is an elevation; Fig. 2 a plan; and Fig. 3 a section of the urinal, with
our improved basin A in position.
A is the basin, B the feed pipe, which may be connected with a flushing cistern,
or to a continuous supply of water as desired. The flushing rims C Care per-
forated, so as to distribute water over surfaces between them."
The flushing water and urine pass through a series of small holes D D close to
and parallel with the back of urinal, flow down the latter, and cleanse it. Instead
of the said series of small holes at D) a long, narrow, sloping slit or slits may be
formed for the same purpose, but we prefer the former.
By this arrangement the fall pipe heretofore attached to urinal basins is dis-
pensed with, and splashing prevented.

and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-

Our invention will be at once understood by reference to the drawings accom-
panying our Provisional Specification, in which Fig. 1 is an elevation, Fig. 2 a
plan, and Fig. 3 a section of the urinal, with our improved basin A in position.
A is the basin, B the feed pipe, which may be connected with the flushing
eistern, or to a continuous supply of water as desired. The flushing rims C C are
perforated, so as to distribute water over surfaces between them.
The flushing water and urine pass through a series of small holes D 1) close to
and parallel with the back of urinal, flow down the latter and cleanse it. Instead
of the said series of small holes at 1), a long, narrow, sloping slit or slits may be
formed for the same purpose, but we prefer the former.
By this arrangement the fall pipe heretofore attached to urinal basins is dis-
pensed with, and splashing prevented.
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 construction of urinal basins, substantially as and for the purpose described,
and shewn on the drawings.
Doted this 14th day of January 1899.
