PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Socket Joint; for Earthenware, Metal, or other Pipes.
HENRY YOUNG & JOHN LONSDALE Builders Junction Works 283 Mayall
Road Herne Hill London S.E. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
In the socket of the pipe two rebates are formed; the pipes being of any section
and the sockets and rebates to any required size, shape or position with regard to
each other and the barrel of the pipe.
The joint is made by first placing the spigot end within the inner rebate, which
inner rebate is to be of such size as to more or less closely fit the spigot end.
The space between the outer rebate & the outer surface of barrel of pipe is
then to be filled with plastic cement or other suitable material, and the joint is then
complete.
The objects of the inner rebate are :—
Firstly, to prevent the cement or other material passing into the interior of the
barrel of pipe during the operation of making the joint therewith.
Secondly, to allow of the outer rebate being of such size as will admit of a
sufficient body of cement therein all round the pipe, at the same time maintaining
a more or less accurate alignment of the interior of the barrel.
