Improvements in the Construction of Rain-water, Soil, and Stove
Pipes, and in Means for Fixing the same.
1, JAMES GREGSON of 17 Bath Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Decorator,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object to improve the method of fixing pipes to walls or
buildings and dispense with the old and objectionable system of drilling and plugging.
In carrying out my invention I construct the faucet or socket for receiving the spigot
of its connecting pipe considerably longer than hitherto, which allows of the nails or
holdfasts being secured in a joint of the brick or stone wall or building to which they
may be attached. The faucet or socket is fitted with ears or projections provided
with holes which allow the same to pass over the head of the nail or holdfast. These
holes are provided on their upper side with slots slightly larger than the body or
shank of the nail or holdfast; the pipe being secured by dropping the slots onto the
nails or holdfasts. By this arrangement the nails or holdfasts can be secured
permanently into the wall or building which will allow of the removal or replacement
of the pipes at will.
any
To prevent the pipes being lifted or tampered with the holes through which the
head of the nail or holdfast passes are fitted or filled with a wedge of suitable
material. The ears or projections are slightly thicker than that immediately behind
the pipes for the purpose of removing the body of the latter from the wall to prévent
the wall being damaged by water in case of leakage, and to facilitate painting
and repairs.

I, JAMES GREGSON of 17 Bath Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Decorator,
do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 to improve the method of fixing pipes to walls or
buildings and dispense with the old and objectionable system of drilling and plugging.
In carrying out my invention I construct the faucet or socket for receiving the
spigot of its connecting pipe considerably longer than hitherto, which allows of the
nails or holdfasts being secured in a joint of the brick or stone wall or building to
which they may be attached. The faucet or socket is fitted with ears or projections
provided with holes which allow the same to pass over the head of the nail or holdfast.
These holes are provided on their upper side with slots slightly larger than the body
or shank of the nail or holdfast; the pipe being secured by dropping the slots onto
the nails or holdfasts. By this arrangement the nails or holdfasts can be secured
permanently into the wall or building which will allow of the removal or replacement
of the pipes at will.
To prevent the pipes being lifted or tampered with the holes through which the
head of the nail or holdfast passes are fitted or filled with a wedge of any suitable
material.
.
The ears or projections are slightly thicker than that immediately behind the
pipes for the purpose of removing the body of the latter from the wall to prevent
the wall being damaged by water in case of leakage, and to facilitate painting and
repairs.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a rain-water, soil, or stove pipe with my improvements
applied Fig. 2 is a sectional side view of same-Fig. 3 is a plan-Fig. 4 is an
enlarged outside view of the faucet or socket showing the means for securing the
same to a wall-Fig. 5 is a plan of same and Fig. 6 is a section through line C. D in
Fig. 4.
The pipe A is cast with the faucet or socket B of sufficient length (say from 4 to 7
inches for a brick wall) to allow of the nails or holdfasts E being driven into a joint of a
brick or stone wall as shown in Fig. 1. The faucet or socket B is provided with the
ears or projections G with the holes H a little larger than the head of the nail or
holdfast E to allow the same to pass over the head of the latter. The holes H are
provided on their upper side with the slots J slightly larger than the body or shank K
of the nail or holdfast E. The nails or holdfasts E are driven permanently into a
joint of a wall or building after which the pipes A can be hung thereon, which also
allows of their removal or replacement at will. The extra length of the faucet or
socket B gives a greater range in fixing than hitherto and allows of the nails or

page_text: holdfasts E being driven into a joint, thereby dispensing with the objectionable
system of drilling and plugging hitherto employed. In the case of applying my
invention to stone buildings the length of the socket or faucet is increased according
to the width of the courses. The ears or projections G can be constructed to project
the pipes A clear of string courses &c., and can be cast on flat or screwed on for
recessing into a wall or otherwise if desired.
To prevent the pipes A being lifted or tampered with the holes H are fitted or filled
with wedges of wood or other suitable material after they are dropped in position
on the supporting nails or holdfasts E. The ears or projections G are constructed
as shown in Figs. 3 and 5 for the purpose of removing the body of the pipe A from
the wall so as to give access for painting the back side, also to allow the water in
the case of leakage to run down the pipe instead of running down and spoiling the
wall it is attached to.
When it is desired to remove the pipe A all that is requisite is to remove the wood
or other wedges from the holes H when the pipe can be lifted off the nails or
holdfasts E.
My invention is equally applicable to square and oblong pipes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I claim is :-
1. Constructing or providing a rain-water, soil, or stove pipe with a faucet or
socket sufficiently long to allow of the nails or holdfasts being secured permanently or
otherwise in a joint of the wall or building to which it is fixed, substantially as described
and as shown on the drawings.
2. The use and construction of the ears or projections G for removing the body of
the pipe A from the wall, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
3. The use and construction of the holes H and slots J in the ears or projections G
of the pipe A, with the means for preventing the same being lifted, substantially as
described and as shown on the drawings.
