Improvements in Bath Fittings.
1, DAVID SMITH KEITH of King Street, Toronto, Canada, presently residing
at Keith Lodge, Arbroath in the County of Forfar Plumber, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention which relates to bath fittings has for its object the provision of
an improved portable combined trap plug and overflow fitted in a stand pipe which
may be readily removed from the end of a bath by uncoupling the connections to
the water inlet and waste outlet whilst the parts constituting the trap plug and
overflow are removable from the stand pipe for cleaning and repair without dis-
connecting the stand pipe from the bath. The stand pipe which is formed with a
branch for coupling it to the waste pipe of the bath and may be steadied near its
upper end by carrying the inlet pipe round it in the form of an annular channel
and which rests in a bed of Archangel tar or similar viscous material or is secured
by the usual putty bedding, has formed at its lower end where it passes over the
discharge outlet an internal up-turned pipe or cup, which with the lower end of
the overflow pipe passing over the cup constitutes a trap against the inlet of sewer
gas. The plug or valve is formed on the overflow pipe and between it and a
diaphragm closing the lower end of the overflow pipe orifices are formed through
which the overflow passes into and through the trap on its passage towards the
discharge outlet. The dip pipe or portion of the lower end of the overflow which
dips into the trap is made of smaller diameter than the seat of the plug or valve
so that the overflow pipe with the plug or valve on it may be withdrawn from the
stand pipe without disconnecting any part and by uncoupling the branches on the
stand pipe from the inlet and waste connections the entire fitting may be removed
from its seat or bed.

Improvements in Bath Fittings.
1, DAVID SMITH KEITH, of King Street, Toronto, Canada, presently residing
at Keith Lodge, Arbroath, in the County of Forfar, 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 which relates to bath fittings has for its object the provision of
an improved portable combined trap plug and overflow fitted in a stand pipe which
may be readily removed from the end of a bath by uncoupling the connections to
the water inlet and waste outlet whilst the parts constituting the trap plug and
overflow are removable from the stand pipe for cleaning and repair without
disconnecting the stand pipe from the bath.
As illustrated in the accompanying drawings in vertical section at Figure 1 and
in end elevation at Figure 2 which shew a bath having the improved fittings applied
thereto, the stand pipe A which is formed with a branch B for coupling it to the
waste pipe C of the bath D and may be steadied near its upper end by carrying
the inlet pipe E round it in the form of an annular channel F and which rests in
[Price 8d.1

page_text: a bed of Archangel tar G or similar viscous material or is secured by the usual
putty bedding and has formed at its lower end where it passes over the discharge
outlet H an internal up-turned pipe or cup A¹ which with the lower end I¹ of the
overflow pipe I passing over the cup constitutes a trap against the inlet of sewer
gas. The plug or valve J is formed on the overflow pipe I and between it and a
diaphragm closing the lower end of the overflow pipe orifices l' are formed
through which the overflow passes into and through the trap on its passage
towards the discharge outlet H. The dip pipe I' or portion of the lower end of
the overflow I which dips into the trap is made of smaller diameter than the seat
of the plug or valve J so that the overflow pipe with the plug or valve on it may
be withdrawn from the stand pipe A without disconnecting any part and by
uncoupling the branches on the stand pipe from the inlet and waste connections E, C,
the entire fitting may be removed from its seat or bed.
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. A combined trap plug and overflow for baths constructed and fitted
substantially as described.
2. In bath fittings a combined trap plug and overflow pipe fitted in a stand pipe
the trap plug and overflow pipe and the stand pipe being independently removable
substantially as described.
