UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
DARIUS W'ELLINGTON, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO CHARLES A. WELLINGTON, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVED WATER-CLOSET.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 23,335, dated March 22, 1359.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, DAEIUs WELLINGTON, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in VVater-Olosets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in which a front sectional view of my invention is represented.
To enable others skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention,I will proceed to describe it.
A represents the seat of the closet, constructed in the usual way, and Bis the basin, constructed, as usual, of metal, and placed below the seat A. The basin B is curved gradually, so that its lower end will communicate horizontally with a vertical pipe C, the lower end of which is secured to the flooring a and communicates with the soil-pipe D.
In the upper part of the pipe C a valve E is placed. This valve may be constructed of metal, with a ring of india-rubber b around it, the rubber, when the valve is closed, bearing against a seat o at the upper part of the pipe i C. The upper portion of the pipe C, in which the valve E plays or works, is made of spherical form to afford ample space for the discharge of the excrement from the basin B.
F is the valve-rod, which is hollow a certain portion of its length and has apertures d made in it, so that the upper end of the hole in the valve-rod may communicate with the interior of a cap G on the pipe O. The rod F passes through the upper end of the cap and through a plate e, attached to the seat-bench f. The plate e and cap G may be removed at pleasure, so as to render the interior of the pipe C accessible when necessary. The upper end of the rod F above the seat-bench f is provided with a knob or handle g.
II is a water-tube or pipe, the lower end of which communicates with the upper part of the basin B, as shown at h. This tube or pipe extends upward and communicates by 'ineans of an elastic tube II with a tilting vessel t' in a reservoir I. The vessel i has an opening in its upper end, and a rod J is attached to it at one vside at its lower part, the outer end of said rod being attached to a leverj, which is pivoted at 7a at one side of the reservoir I. To the outerend of the lever j a rod Z is attached, the lower end of said rod being attached to the outer end of the lever K, which has its fulcrurn at m in the seat-bench f, the inner end of the lever being fitted in a groove in the upper end of the valve-rod F, as shown plainly in the drawing.
The operation is as follows: The reservoir I is iilled with water, and a person, after using the device, raises, before leaving the seat A, the valve-rod F, and the valve E is raised simultaneously with the tilting of the vessel t', the vessel being operated through the medium ofthe levers K j and rods J l. As the vessel z' tilts, it fills with Water, and the water passes through the tube H into the pipe H, and thence through the orifice h into the basin B, the water washing the excrerueut from the basin B into the pipe C. lThen the valve E closes, the water in the basin B passes up between the valve-rod F and the cap G and through the apertures d into the opening in the rod F, the water escaping down through the valve-rod into the soil-pipe D until the water in B reaches a level with the apertures d, the water that remains in B covering its discharge-orifice when closed and effectually prevents the escape of eiiiuvia from the soilpipe D up through the basin B.
By the above invention it will be seen that when the valve E is raised there is nothing to impede or obstruct the free discharge of the eXcrernent, for the pipe O below the discharge orifice of the basin is free from all mechanism, and the surplus water in B, directly after the closet has been used and the valve E closed, tends to cleanse the pipes C and D. The pipe D cannot, therefore, become choked or clogged, and in case any repairs are required the plate e and cap G may be removed and the valve E readily removed.
The whole device is rendered extremely simple and efficient and may be applied in all cases where such devices are now used.
I would remark that in cities and other places where water may be applied under pressure the reservoir I may be dispensed withl and the lever K connected directly to basin B, pipe H, tube H', and reservoir I, as the faucet of a, pipe leading from a, maini and for the purpose herein shown and de-y Havng thus described my invention, whatI scribed. claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- T The arrangement and combination of the hollow Valve-rod F, perforated at d d, cap G,
