Secondary flushing tanksl are vsituated above the bowl 14, two of them beingprovided--one on either side jof the center-and preferably formed integral with the bowl structure, all in the manner shown. These tanks may be formed any" suitable `configura-tion, that shown in'the Adrawings being preferable. ',lhey are spaced apart to"form a Vent cham-- ber Y out through the back 19, in Jtlieffoiin' oit a neck 34, which may be thereafter connected toa suitable vent tube?? i The pipe 30, through the opening 31,
discharges into a chamber 35, which chain: Y1 ber, at either end, connects Jwithy .the sec 36- 1.1.1 .thsilneeneeaetsr issrprlied bythe Primary uShngtfi-Hk errheal., tilifeuc'h, the. chamber .35, v,openings 36, Vand into. the secondary flnshing'tanks 15 at the ltime the the bowl andon upwardly through the-sec'- ondarry.'fiushingtanks115 (see Fig. 2, and dotted linesdn F ig..1), to openings ,42 `lin the chaniberf35. ,From the ,chanibjer 35,,at the time of the .primary flushing-'of the urinal, water is also supplied .to theconduit 41 for fiushing the bowl 14, through a plurality 4ofsmall vperforat-ions 43, 'extending through th'e. underside of the conduit wall. A .Thus when water is 'supplied L to the conduit -41 the. sides ofthe bowl 14 are washed and flushed by the Vwater flowing througlrthe perforations '43,inthe manner indicated4 by Ithe arrows iii-Fig. 3.
It will benoted that from about the bot'- tom 15, of the secondary flushing tanks 15, the rear wall 19 ,of the urinal is inclined outwardly and terminates byjjuncture with the g'bottoms of the bowl : portions 14 and 16. The reasoin -for `this is that when water is ldirected downwardly over the outer vface ofthis-rear u-allportion 19, in the manner to be described, it willhave a tendency, superinduced bythe particular forni of elements `included, 'to-spread out and flow over this 'surface for accomplishing its flushing in thfe most eflicient manner.
In connection with the last mentioned proposition, I. forintwo 'channels 45 preferably integral with the back 19, and 'extending` from a juncture with the inner faces 15b, fof the secondary flushing vtanks 15 outwardly towards thecenter and terminating to leave a small space between their contiguous ends. These channels 45 extend from thei orifices 37 (which extend through 'walls ,15 of the tanks 115) and are inclined very slightly downwardly towards their outer ends,'to conduct fiushing water, discharged through the orifices 37, to the center of the rear wallg19 and between the adjacent ends of the channel members. 'It will be noted that the orifices 37 discharge dlrectly into the bottoms of the channels BEST AVAlLABLE COPY cliannels45 `are so formed, as to present ininefi -a'd'jaceiitl faces-46,3 which faces taper downwardly and merge into the rear wall T9.- The faces 46 are slightly curved as to diverge as theyextend downwardly, in or- 'd`e'r` that 'the 'iiiate'r carried by the channels 45 and discharged between the faces 46, will haven tendency to spread outwardly and not b 'e limited thereby.
vA5diifergin'g or spreading portion 47 is likewise `formed vintegral with the back 19 and is in the configuration o'f an inverted V-sha'lied convex member, with its apex eX- feiiding, iip'iifardly'and fterniin'ating at. a
point between the. lower ends of 'the tapered' faces .46.4 The portion 47 is so formed'that at its ape; l,43, 'and along-its inclined 'sides 47'1Vit ine'rges'into the 'outer 'fa'ce'of'the rear wall 19, inclining outwardly therefroi'n to wardsv its b'cttoin 4in the inanne'r lclearly illustrated in Fig.` 5.- Tl'iei lo'w'er di rg" i ends of'th'eportion 47t'e'r`1'ninate at th'efsides ofthefdiscliai'ge o'peiiin'gQO inthe w'all 19. The extent to which Athe sides 4 7a Vofthe portion 47 flareoutwardly may be altered'to suit ciiciinfistances, depending Ion the volu'nie of water discharged 'through thelorific'es 37 i and fiowing down over the outer Yface of 'the wall 19.
Under ordinary circumstances, vthe individual Awill ldirect 'the Stream of urine against oi adjacent `the -face of 'the spreader 47, Iand itis for this reason that the flushing will be most efiicicnt. Then vthe major flushing takes pla-ce, either automatically or'by hand in vthc usual manner, the \\"ate1 'flowing through y,the pipe 30, vand into the chamber 35,'willflow through both the openings 36 and 42,- filling'the secoiidaiy flushing tank 15 and at the same time directing a stream of }.ate.r through the conduit 4l, which flushes Athe bowl 14 through the perforati'oiis 43 =at the same time the tanls15 are filling up. From the vtime the water first fio'ws in'to'the tanks 15, through the openings 3 6, it will lll() llO .fp ass outwardly through the Qsmall orifices iiectedand spread out over its convex 4inclined face as it fiows toward the opening 20,
inthe manner illustrated in Fig. 5.
The flushing ofthe bowl'14 will of course take place first and this flushing' will cease at the time 4water ceases to flowdnto the chamber 35; but the tanks 15 being filled, and the orifices 37 being quite small, water will continue to flow over the facie of the wall 19, in the manner hereinbefore described, for several minutes after the primary flushing has taken place, thus tending 4to very efiiciently and thoroughly Hush the surfaces of the wall 19 and the spreader 47.
Not only does the arrangement 'of the water conducting and diverting elements on the face of the wall 19, as hereinabove described, tend to spread the water out and thoroughly cleanse the surfaces, but it prevents water flowing thereover in such a stream as to depositv metallic substances thereon and stain the surface of the xture, as is commonly the case.
lVhile I have herein described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is nevertheless to be' understood that I reserve the right to make any changes or modifications in the structure which properly come within the 'scope of the appended claims.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. The combination with a primary lushing water supply means, a urinal having a bowl, said bowl having a back wall, a secondary flushing tank above said bowl, water supply connection between said primary supply and secondary tank, means in connection with said primary supply and secondary tank and bowl to effect a primary iiushing of the bowl, means in connection with said secondary tank to effect a protracted Hushing of the bowl continuing after said primary flushing, and means in connection with the back wall of the bowl to distribute said secondary flushing over its surface.
2. In a fixture of the class described, a bowl, and a back wall, primary flushing BEST AvAiLAeLE comi water supply means therefor, means to direct a 'part of the flushing water directly to the bowl, a reservoir connected with the primary supply to be filled with another part of the water during the flushing action, and a restricted outlet for the reservoir discharging onto the back wall to prolong the discharge of water over the back wall ""after the flushing operation is completed.
3. In a urinal, a bowl having a back wall, flushing means comprising two water feeds at opposite sides of the back wall directing two streams of water toward the central part olf the bowl, means to carry the two water streams to the central Apart of the bowl to meet there, and a spreader on the back wall below the point of stream meeting.
4. In a urinal, a bowl, and two flushing tanks arranged at opposite sides of the upper part of the bowl with a ventilation passage between them.
5. In a urinal, a bowl with a back wall, two Hushing tanks arranged at opposite sides of the upper part of the wall with water outlets directing two water streams inwardly toward each other to meet near the central part of the back wall, and with a ventila*
