Patented in the German Empire on December 4th, 1891.

The spittoon 5 shown in Fig. 1 to 3 consists of a vessel α of suitable shape, which is provided on the upper circumference with a flange U ₁ and in the bottom has an opening a ₂ intended for draining the contents. This vessel is hung in a recess in the floor covering B in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, with its flange resting on the covering so that the surface of the spittoon lies in one plane with the floor carpet b. Where such is not available, the Flaitsch a _x can be embedded in the covering B to achieve a completely flat floor surface and fastened with a few screws as above.

The vessel α is filled approximately halfway with water after the opening a. _{2 has} been closed by a valve c, which the latter is sealed by a rubber ring or the like and bears tubular extensions C ₁ C ₂ above and below. '

In its upper part the vessel α is turned out to a larger diameter, so that an annular extension a _B arises, on which a funnel d rests with its flange d _t , which serves to transfer the sputum into the liquid and to cover the latter into the The vessel is attached.

In addition, the widened part of the vessel α serves to accommodate the sunk-in lid e, which is perforated in such a way that correspondingly large openings f are created to allow the ejection to pass through, but at the same time sufficient strength of the lid is ensured by the upwardly wedge-shaped webs g.

The closure of this cover is made in a simple manner by a thorn lock, the rotatable tongue h of which is attached to a square thorn i and by means of a thorn key, like the one that railway conductors tend to carry with them, in or out of engagement with a slot a _{4 of} the vessel α can be brought. By engaging a diametrically opposite attachment e _x in a corresponding slot a ₅ , the closure of the lid is completed and it is impossible to remove it without opening the lock.

In the middle of the lower side, the cover has a punch e ₂ , in which the tip C _{3 of} the valve rod C ₁ engages.

The length of the latter is chosen so that by placing or Closing the lid e pressure is exerted on the same and the drain valve is closed.

On the valve rod C ₁ sits a second funnel k, which is arranged opposite to the funnel d, ie with the base facing down, and through which the liquid content is prevented from splashing out.

In order to prevent overfilling of the vessel, the hollow valve rod C ₁ C _{2 is} provided with overflow openings / Z _{1 at a corresponding height.}
