UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PHILIP GENGEMBRE HUBERT, on NEW YORK, N. Y.
WATER-CLOSET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 375,068, dated December 20, 1887.
Application filed August 18, 1887. Serial No 2.47.5257.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, PHILIP GENGEMBRE HU BERT, of the city and county of New York, in the State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in \VateuGlosets, of which the following is a specification.
Myinventi'on relates to what are commonly known as wash-closets, as distinguished from those water-closets which comprise a bowl or basin the outlet of which is closed by a pan, forming in connection therewith a water seal. In wash-closets the contents of the bowlor basin after use is commonly discharged by copious flushing with clean water; but as this flushing-Water first mingles with the contents of the bowl or basin the water which is left in the bowl or basin after flushing is frequcntly dirty or contaminated with foul matter.
The ideal closet, or what would be theoretically the most correct one, is one in which the foul contents or foul water in the bowl or basin after use is discharged instantly with a copious flow, and in which that discharge is followed by a copious discharge of clean flushing water; and the object of my invention is to secure such a method of operation in a closet. To this end I combine with a soil or waste pipe a closet bowl or basin which has an outlet arranged to discharge into the said soil or waste pipe, and which is mounted on trunnions or pivoted so as to swing in a vertical plane for producing its'discharge. The closet bowl or basin comprises a partition the lower edge of which is sealed by the water within the bowl or basin, and forming upon one side of the partition a receptacle or cavity for soil, and upon the other side of the partition and behind the soil-receptacle a reservoir or cavity for a clean flushing-supply, communication between the two being had below the said partition. The bowl or basin, preferably upon the side of the partition which serves as a cavity or reservoir for clean flushing-water, is supplied with such water through a float-actuated valve,.and consequently each time after emptying the bowl or basin by tilting upon its trunnions the float drops to the bottom thereof, thereby admit ting flushing-water, and is raised by said water until it finally closes the inletvalve.
(No model.)
The invention consists in novel combina tions of parts, which are hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of acloset embodying myinvention; and Fig. 2 is a plan thereof, the seat being removed.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both figures.
A designates an ordinary Strap, which is here shown as arranged at the upper end of a soil or waste pipe, A, and which, in efiect, constitutes apart of said soil or waste pipe. From the bend of this trap leads a vent-pipe, B, which may extend to the roof of the building, or which may be extended in any other direction, so as to vent the trap of sewergas with out its passing through the house or apartment.
O designates the closet basin or bowl,which is of somewhat peculiar form, and which has an outlet-nozzle, 0, arranged opposite the end of the trap, so as to discharge the water from the closet into the trap, and so as to permit the free tilting or swinging movement of the closet bowl or basin. As here represented, the discharge branch or nozzle 0 simply euters or swings into the open end of the 'trapin discharging. The closet bowl or basin,which may be made of porcelain, enameled iron, or any other suitable material, is constructed or provided with a crosspartition, c, and, as here shown, has cavities in its bottom on opposite sides of said partition. Thus the partition forms upon one side thereof the cavity 0 for the soil which may be deposited within the bowl or basin through the seat D, and upon the other side of the partition 0 is a reservoir or cavity, a", which serves for the reception of fresh flushing-water. The cavities c c arein communication through the space 0 below the partition 0, and as the lower edge of the partition c is sealed below the water in the basin or bowl, as best shown in Fig. 1, the foul and floating matter cannot pass the partition and cannot leave the receptacle or cavity 0 and flow into the reservoir or cavity 0 Formed integral with or secured to the trap A. are bridges or arches a, forming the bearings or seats a for trunnionsb,which are placed about midway of the length of the basin or bowl 0, and upon which said basin or bowl swings, and attached to the rear of the basin or bowl is a handle and pull-rod, d, by which the basin or bowl 0 may be tilted, so as to bring the receptacle or cavity 0 below the reservoir or cavity 0 and by so tilting the basin or bowl the whole contents of the closet, both the soiled water and then the clean flushing-water, may be discharged with a copious flow and the bowl or basin thoroughly cleaned.
E designates an inletpipe for fresh flushingwatelywhich is, as here represented,controlled by a valve, e, and a float, c. This pipe E is unattached to the basin orbowl proper, but is connected with the seat D or otherwise sup ported, and when, by tilting the bowl or basin, it is emptied the float 6 falls to the bottom thereof, when said basin or bowl is returned to its normal horizontal position, and will only rise to close the valve 6 by the gradually-increasing quantity of water in the reservoir or cavity 0'.
From the foregoing description it will be observed that, when the basin or bowl 0 is tilted, by pulling up the handle (Z the water in the receptacle or cavity 0 will first be discharged with a rush and will be immediately followed by a still more copious rush of clean water from the reservoir or cavity 0 I have shown the automatic float-valve E as one example of means which may be employed for automatically controlling the supply of clean water to the bowl or basin; but any other of the well-known means may be employed for this purpose.
I am aware that a water-closet has been before made with a tilting soil-receptacle, and hence I do not claim such feature broadly. An essential novelty in my closet is that the basin or bowl comprises both a soilreceptaele, c, and behind it a flushing-receptacle, 0 wherein the water remains clean, and when the basin or bowl is tilted the soil-receptacle first discharges, and such discharge is immediately followed by a copious discharge of clean water from the flushing receptacle, which flows through the soil-receptacle, thoroughly rinsing and cleaning it and the trap out. The partition 0 serves, by the extent of opening below it, to properly graduate the discharge of flushing-water.
Vhat Iclaim as my invention, and desire to soon re by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, with a soil or waste pipe, of a closet basin or bowl, comprising in one structure a soil-receptacle with a dis charge outlet, and a flushing reservoir or cavity arranged behind the soil -receptacle, and to deliver through the soil-receptacle, the closet or bowl being mounted on trunnions or pivoted to swing and discharge first the contents of the soil receptacle or cavity, and then the contents of the flushing receptacle or cavity through the soil receptacle or cavity, substantially as herein described.
2. The combination, with the soil or waste pipe and trap A, of a basin or bowl having an outlet arranged to discharge into the trap and provided with the partition 0, having its lower edge sealed in the water and forming in front of it the soil receptacle or cavity and behind it the flushing reservoir or cavity, the basin or bowl being mounted on trunnions or pivoted to swing and discharge its contents, and a water-supply pipe and valve for supplying clean water to the basin or bow], substantially as herein described.
3. The combination, with an upwardly-presented branch of the waste-trap A, of the basin or bowl 0, mounted on trunnions, and having a partition, 0, forming on one side the soilreceptacle 0, having a discharge-nozzle, C, adapted to enter the branch of the trap, and on the other side, behind the soil-receptacle, the flushing-reservoir cfiwhich communicates with the soil-receptacle through the opening 0 and the supply-pipe, and a controllingvalve for delivering water to the flushing-res ervoir, substantially as herein described.
