WATER-CLOSET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of .Letters Patent No. 283,172, dated August 14, 1883.
Application filed amen 1o, 1883. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern: n f
Be it known that I, RICHARD WALsH, of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of 'Michigan,` have invented new and useful Im- 5l provements in Water-Closets; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specication.
` This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inthe construction of water-closets.,`
The invention consists, first, in the peculiar construction and arrangement of mechanical I 5 means for automatically shutting off thewater-supply by the overflow from the'bowl; second, in the peculiar construction and arrangement of means for operating the escape-valve;
and, third, in the peculiar construction, ar!A 2o rangement, and combinations of the parts, all
as more fully hereinafter set forth. t
Figure 1 is a vertical central 'section through the bowl and trunk. Fig. 2 is a plan of the trunk with top removed. I
In the accompanying drawings, which form a part 'of this specication, A represents the bowl, aud B the trunk, within which latter the operating parts of the closet are located. This trunk is provided with the inlet a, over which` 3o the bowl is properlysecured, and an outlet, b, which is connected with the soil`pipe. (Not shown.) H D represents the valve which closes over the inner end of the inlet, shutting off Vcom- 3 5 munication between the bowl and thebody ofv the trunk. This valve is pivotally secured at its upper side to the inner wall of the trunk,
as at c.- A toggle lever, E, connects this valve with the opposite wall of the trunk, the
`4o toggle lever being provided with a curved slotted arm, F, with which the lower end ofthe pull-rod G engages, and by means of which the `valve D is opened. The lower end y of the pull-rod is preferably bifurcated, so as `45 to embrace the slottedarm F, and is secured thereto by means of arod or shaft, d, which passes through the pull-rod and the slot of the arm F. Upon this rod are secured weights H, which compel `the valve to remain closed 5o against thepressure of the water in the bowl.`
I is the water-Supply pipe, which is providedwith the valve J and branch pipe K,
. to open, allowing the contents of the bowl to the bowl.
which latter conductsA the water to the bowl and4 discharges therein through the opening e. The stem h of the valve .I is carried through 55 the wall of the trunk, and has secured to its end'within the trunk the rocker arm or lever `L, to one arm, z', of which is secured a weight,
In the` drawings I show an overflow, P, formed 65 as an integral part ofthe bowl, to which the `overflow O is connected; and although I prefer this construction, I do not desire to con` fine myself thereto, for the reason that 'it will necessitate the manufacture Vof a bowl espeV 7o cially for this purpose, while it is evident that the overflow may be attach ed to the trunk anyf where above the valve D, in which case I .could utilize any of the bowls now in common use.
In practice, where itis desired to discharge the contents of the bowl, the rod G is pulled up, which, by the connections` herein shown and described, necessarily compels` the valve 8o discharge into the body of the trunk and nd exit to the soil-pipe through the outlet b, i while at the same time the shaft d comes in contact with vthe arm 7c of the, rocker-arm L, causing theparts to assume the position. shown 8 5 iuFig l, thus opening Athe valve J, and allowing water to ow through the pipe K and iiush Upon releasing the pull-rod G the weights H expand the toggle-joint and cause the valve D to close tightly against the seat. The water still continues toflow into the bowl until it has reached such a point that it will, discharge through thepipe or overflow O into the cup N, thus overbalancing the weight M,
causing the parts to assume the position shown 9 5 in dotted lines, Fig. 1, closing thevalveJ and shutting off the water. l
- I attach importance to the arrangement of mytoggle-levers andtheir concomitant's. They are operated directly by the pull-rod G, which connects with the pivot d, and the pivot d -car- `ries the weights, having also the additional weight of the pull-rod when the same is at rest; This construction does away with the necessity v of complicated levers and weights, and allows vtrunk behind the exit-valve, a tilting lever a great economy in space.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a water-closet, in combination with the exit-valve thereof, apair of toggle-leversone carrying the valve and the other being' pivoted to a stationary part of the trunk-the pivot-rod d carrying' the weights7 and having loose connection with the pull-rod, whereby the grav-ity of the weights and the added gravity of the pull-rod are directly on the pivot of the said toggle-levers, as set forth.
2. In a water-closet7 in combination with the exit-valve thereof, a pair of toggle-levers, one of which carries the valve and the other is pivoted to a stationary part of the trunk, the rod d connecting such levers and carrying weights and connections with the water-supply, asset forth.
3. In a water-closet, in combination with an overflow-pipe leading from the basin to the having a weight at one end and a cup at the other, adapted to receive the overflow and be tilted to eut off the water-supply, as set forth.
4. In combination with the water-supply,`
