WATER-CLOSET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 576,184, dated February 2,1897.
Application filed February 24:, 1896. Serial No. 580,444. (No model.) Patented in Germany May 12. 1894, No. 79,067; in England August 18, 1894, No, 15,740, and in Belgium August 2 1894:, No. 111,541.
To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, LUDWIGBRANDIS, architect, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Essen-on-the-Ruhr, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ater-Closets, (for which I have obtained patents in England, No. 15,740, dated August 18,1894; in Germany, No. 79, 067, dated May 12, 1894, and in Belgium, No. 111,541,
dated August 24, 1894,) of which the following is a specification.
The object of thisinvention is to construct a closet which, even without being connected with water-pipes, shuts ott the smell and at the same time has an arrangement for separating and breaking up solid substances, so that a stoppage of the closet is avoided. It also comprises an arrangement for avoiding stoppages of the waste-pipe, so that its diameter may be reduced to about ten centimeters or less. It is also necessary that the closet be such that its connection with the wastepipe is effected with equal case whether the latter lies behind the closet in the continuation of its longitudinal axis or at the side either to the right or left. ,The closet ought also to be such as to occupy as little room as possible and when placed on the floor to only require the seat and the connection with the waste-pipe to be effected in order to be quite ready for use.
A closet constructed in accordance with the present invention is represented on the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section. Fig. 2
is a plan; Fig. 3, a horizontal section in the line M N of Fig. 1. Fig. at is a cross-section through the bell O with the waste-pipe bend.
The closet is preferablymade of cast-iron, but may be of other suitable metal or of porcelain, clay, or the like, and comprises the following five parts: first, a box-shaped pan A for receiving the seat, the lower surface of which pan is an inclined plane for directing the soil into a cylindrical or similarly-shaped receiver B connected with A; second, a grid or grate a, upon which the soil falls in the receiver 13, the bars of this grate being arranged to radiate from a central disk and the whole grate being capable of being moved up and down from the outside by means of a rod and handle; third, at corresponding fixed grate b in the receiver B, the bars of which project inward from an outer ring, so that the center is free and the grate a can be passed through; fourth, a bell-shaped piece or cover 0 with a waste-pipe bend and a square sleeve d for guiding the square rod of the grate a, surrounding it, and so preventing its turning; fifth, a funnel-shaped piece D, hanging down into the pan A and mostly hiding the soil from view.
The arrangement of the separate parts in their relative positions is shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. The following details have also to be mention ed.
The bell O can be turned round through ninety degrees or one hundred and eighty degrees, so that the waste-pipe bend may be directed either to the right or to the letter to the back. The sleeve (1 of the rod for the grate Ct turns with it, but the position of the grate a relatively to that of the grate I) remains the same; The widened part in which the bell enters is packed, as usual, with packing-tow and putty or by means of cement, lead, or the like. Two small lateral pins keep the bell in its position and make its joints with B stronger.
If desired, any suitable means may be em ployed for diminishing the shock between the grates a, and b and the grate a and bottom of receiver Bas, for instance, elastic packing arranged intermediate the partsand I show for the purpose pieces of caoutchouc a.
Projections 0 under the top of the pan on the right and left hand side with holes are there for connecting, if desired, with a pissoz'r or with a water-pipe or with a ventilatingpipe. If not used, these holes are stopped up.
Small plates, with holes cast on the top and bottom of the pan A, are used for screwing on the seat and for fixing thecloset 011 the floor to keep it in a fixed position.
When the closet is ready, it is first filled with water. Afterward it will be sufficient to pour into it once a week a bucketful of water in. order to permanently avoid smell. As a rule, it is superfluous to use water, as the practice shows that fluids enter into the closet in not inconsiderable quantities.
After the use of the closet the grate a is moved in the receiverBseveral times up and down and thereby breaks up the solid parts of the soil, so that they reach the Waste-pipe in a state of fine division. Hard objects thrown in the closet against the regulationsas, for instance, clusters, leather, brushes, and the likearc prevented by the grate I) from entering into the waste-pipe. These can be easily removed through the seat.
I claim- 1. In a watencloset, the combination of a funnel or hopper, a pan beneath the latter having an inclined bottom, a receiver to receive the soil from the pan, a cover over the receiver, a vertically-movable rod extending through the receiver and the cover and adapted to be operated from the exterior, a grate attached to the lower end of the rod and morable therewith, a second grate fixedly arranged Within the receiver above the first grate and adapted to cooperate with the latter in the manner described, and a Waste-pipe connected with the cover above the fixed grate, as specified.
2. In a water-closet the combination, of a funnel or hopper, a pan beneath the latter adapted to receive the soil, a receiver for the soil from the pan, a Waste-pipe in communication with the receiver, a vertically-movable rod extending through the receiver, a grate carried by and movable with the rod, and a second grate fixedly arranged Within the receiver above the first grate and with which latter it is adapted to cooperate in the n1anner described.
In testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand in the presence of the two subscribing witnesses.
LUDXVIG BRANDIS.
