TA'rEs PATENT IMPROVEMENT IN wATr-:R-CLosETs.

Specification forming part oi Letters Patent No. 206,370, dated July 23, 1878; application llcd July l0, 1878.

To all rwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM TUnroN, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of N ew York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vater Closets, which improvement is fully set forth in -the following specification, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawing, in which- Figure l represents a vertical section inthe plane an Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a horizontal scction in the plane y y, Fig. l.

Similar letters indicate correspondingparts.

This invention relates to a water-closet the pan of which is made in one piece with the chamber containing the plunger and its rod. The plunger is constructed with a belLtrap and overow, and it shuts down upon a valve seat secured to the pan. Between the pan and the chamber for the plunger is a partition, to prevent paper or other substances from stopping up the overflow.

In the drawing, the letter A designates the pan of my water-closet, which, together with a receptacle, B, containing the plunger C, is cast or otherwise produced in one piece, its shape being such that it can be readily cast of iron or formed of clay, porcelain, or other sui table material.

On the bottom edge of the pan is formed a flange, a, to which is secured the soil-pipe D by means of a ange, I), and screw-bolts c.

Between the ilanges a and b is placed the seat E for the plunger C. This seat is, by preference, made of cast-iron or other suitable material, and it is provided with a flange, d, which projects between the flanges c and b, so that it can be readily secured in position. Suitable packin g-rin gs interposed between the flange d and the anges a and b serve to render the joints tight.

The plunger U is provided with a stem, e, to the upper end of which is secured a suitable ring or handle, f, and the pan A is provided with a top plate or seat, F, in whichl is secured a cup-shaped disk, g, to form the guide for the stem of the plunger. This plunger consists of a bell-shaped body, h, a jacket, t', a nipple,j, a strainer, k, and a valvedisk, Z.

The jacket e' is conical, and `it is secured at its upper end to the stem c of the plunger by a bridge, m.

The nipple j is firmly secured to the bottom edge. of the jacket, and it projects upward into the cavity n ot' the bell-shaped body h, which body is iirmly secured to stem c of the plunger inside the jacket i. Au annular spa-ce, o, is left between the outside surface of the body h and the inner surface ofthe jacket fi.

Against the bottom surface of the nipplej is placed the valve-disk L and the strainer 7c, which slips on the lower end of the stem c, and is retained in position by a nut, p.

Then the plunger is allowed to drop the valve-disk l closes down upon the seat E, and it' the water in the pan rises above the level of the top edge of the jacket t' it escapes through the annular space 0, and as it must rise in this space to a level with the top edge of the nipple j and above the bottom edge ot' the bell-shaped bodyh bei'oreitcan escape through the strainer lc, an efficient trap is formed in the body ot the plunger.

Between the chamberB, which contains the plunger, and the pan A is situated a partition, Gr, which is retained by guides q secured to or formed on the inner walls of the pan. By this partition paper or other substances are prevented from loating into the annular space o of the plunger, and from clogging up the trap in said plunger.

The cover F is made of cast-iron or other suitable material, and provided with an upwardlyprojecting collar, 1'. This collar forms a support for the guide g of the plunger, and by this means this guide is raised, so that au enlarged space is formed for the movement of the plunger without increasing the height ot' the pan.

By these means a water-closet is produced which is very simple in its construction, easily operated, and not liable to get out of order.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi l1. The combination, with the plunger-receptacle B and bell-trap overlow-plunger C, of a partition interposed between the plungerreceptacle B and pan A to prevent the over;

flow and trap of the plunger from becoming,` have hereunto set my hand and seal this 29th clogged, substantially as described. day of J une, 1878.

2. The combination, with the hopper A and p 1 Y 4 plunger-seat E, of the plunger composed of TILLIAM rlURTON [L' 5'] jacket i, bell h, nipple j, rod e, and strainer k, Vtnesses: substantially as described. WV. HAUFF,

In testimony tha-t I claim the foregoing' I E. F. KASTENHUBER.
