THOMAS HYDE, or ALBANY, new YORK.
WATER-CLOS ET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 279,566, dated June 19, 1883.
Application filed February l, 1883. (Namath-Li To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, THOMAS HYDE, of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful.Improvements in ater-Closets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in water-closets, the object being to prevent the admission into school-houses or other buildings of gases or smells from fecal matter lodging or adhering to the basins or bowls of water-closets.
A further object is to automatically regulate the supply of water in the basin.
A further object is to discharge the watersupply into the basin in such a manner as to keep its surfaces clean. I
A. further object is to produce a sectional .basin, which shall be simple and eflicicnt in its construction and of small initial cost.
With these ends in view my invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improvement. Fig.2 is a detached view, in perspective, of the discharge-section of the basin. Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of the central section of the basin. Fig. 4 is a viewin longitudinal vertical section and side elevation, and Fig. 5 is a transverse section. 4
A is'the basin, consisting of the central section, B, the float-section O, and discharge-section 1). The sidewalls of each section are made with slightly flaring or vertical upper portions, (1, andconverging lower portions, 1),
so that the lower portion of the basin is V basiirsections are prei'erabl y made of cast-i ron.
and formed with outwardly-projecting flanges' (1 around their upper edges to enable the basin to be rcadil y supported thereby, and with side flanges, (1, through which bolts (F are inserted for fastening them together. W'hilel' have represented a water-closet having only one section B, any number of such sections may be employed, according to the desired length of the basin. E, secured thereto, and an overflow-pipe, F, connecting the trap and the outlet 6 in the basin. The upper end of the trap constitutes a valve-seat, f, within which is seated the diseharge-valx e G, which latter is operated by a handle, G, or by any other suitable device.
H represents a supply-tank, located at any point above the basin. \Vater is supplied to the tank through the supply'pipe 71, the dis charge end of which is provided with a floatvalvc, I, the function of which is to automatically cut oft the supply when the tankis filled. Pipe K leads from the supply-tank to the basin, where it connccts with the two pipes L Discharge-section I) has a trap, j
L, located at opposite sides of the basin, and
near their upper edges. These pipes are perforated, as at I, so as to discharge fine jets of water against the sides of the basin, above the level of the water therein.
M is a supply-regulating valve, which is suitably weighted, and connected to a float, N, by means of a light chain or coi'd, O, passing over the pulleys a a. Float N is located in the float-section of the basin, and is prevented from displacement by means of the partition m. The float may be made of wood, a hollow airtight sheet-metal box, or in any other desired manner. Instead of employing a chain for transmitting the motion of the float to the valve, I may use a lever pivoted over the tank, and by means of rods attached to the float and valve cause the latter to rise as the float descends.
1? is an overflowpipe extending to nearly the top of the tank, and connecting with the pipe K below the tank. This pipe is furnished to guard against a possible overflow of the tank. Should the float-valve fail to operate, or should it leak, the overflow-pipe will prevent water from running over the top of the tank.
From the foregoing it will be observed that supply-tank H is always kept filled with Water. \Vhen the discharge-valve G is raised the con tents of the basin are quickly discharged, and as the float descends the supply-valve is raised through the intervention of the connecting chain or other suitable means, which operates to supply water to the pipes L L and discharge the water into the basin in a series of jets on opposite sides of the basin. I \Vhen the basin is filled to the point a the float will have raised a sufficient distance to allow the supply-valve to out off the supply.
It is evident that many slight changes in the construction and relative arrangement of parts might be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention, and hence I do not restrict myself to the exact construction and arrangement of parts shown and described; but,
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 1; In a water-closet, the combination, with an elongated basin, of a perforated water-sup ply pipe located at the side of the basin, substantially as set forth.
2. In a water-closet, the combination, with an elongated basin, of a supply tank and pipes, a valve governing the discharge of water from the tank, a float located in the basin, and means for connecting the valve and float, sub stantially as set forth,
3. The combination, with the basin provided with a partition forming a float-section, of a float, a supply-tank, valve, and connections between the float and valve, substantially as set forth.
4. The combination, with the basin, the supply tank and pipes, of the valve in the supply-tank, thefloat in the basin, and chain' or other flexible connection between the float and valve, substantially asset forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
THOMAS HYDE.
