We ROBINSON FERENS of Oswald House, Durham and JOSEPH HORATIO LOVE of
The Hawkbills, Easingwold, and Micklegate House, York, Colliery Owners and
Fire Brick Manufacturers, trading under the style of Ferens & Love, do hereby
declare the nature of our said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved Gully trap with sink, grate, and movable
perforated pan.
By this invention the whole of the water or other liquid must pass through holes
in the pan, the sediment subsiding and depositing itself at the bottom of the pan
which can be lifted out readily by a handle fixed across the top and replaced in the
gully with great facility.
The improved gully trap can be made in all sizes to correspond with the various
descriptions of sanitary pipes in general use.

The Hawkbills, Easingwold, and Micklegate House, York, Colliery Owners and Fire
Brick Manufacturers, trading under the style of Ferens and Love do hereby declaro
the nature of our said 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 relates to an improved Gully trap with sink, grate and movable
perforated pan.
By this invention the whole of the water or other liquid must pass through holes
in the pan, the sediment subsiding and depositing itself at the bottom of the pan which
can be lifted out readily by a handle fixed across the top and replaced in the gully
with great facility.
The improved gully trap can be made in all sizes to correspond with the various
descriptions of sanitary pipes in general use.
Our invention is shown in the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the catch pan A having perforations at some
distance above the bottom B to near the top C where a handle D is arranged.
The top edge of the pan is lipped as at E to rest upon a flange of the sink F as in
the sectional view Figure 2 said sink can rest upon brickwork or upon a top of the
gully pipe G as at Figure 3, this having a bend or trap H to permit of the water
which has drained through the perforations of the pan A to flow away to the drain.
1 is a grating set upon the inner flange of the sink F where a basin is formed to
prevent the water splashing when poured in but a grating may be placed upon the
top ledge at J if desired.
The catch pan or pit A serves as a receptacle for solids which may pass through
the grating I and by lifting the pan A out of the gully by the handle D the solids
can be shot out and the pan replaced in the gully G for the reception of further
refuse.
The perforations of the pan serve to filter the liquids from the solids and the lower
series of perforations are immersed in the trapped liquid which prevents escape of
smells or gases therefrom.
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 and arrangement of Gully trap, sink, grating, and moveable
nerforated pan combined and acting for the purpose described.
