To all when@ t may concern: Y

Be it known that We, JOHN CGLEMAN and HENRY MOORE, citizens of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and 'useful Improvements in Attachments for VVater-Closetk Bowls and we do declare the following to be xact description of the irlvention, such as'will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to inakeand use the same, reference being had to thje accoinl. panying drawings, and to theiigures/v of refer# ence marked thereon, Whiclpierni apart ofi this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in an attachment for Water-closet bowls; andit s 'n the novel arrangement,"construe'A tion, and combination of parts, as will be more .fully hereinafter described, and vset forth in the claims.

One object of this in a device to be attached closet which will provi gas tight joint by mean nection.

Another object is the relation of the device o the bowl for preventing said bowl from becoming broken bythe sinking of the licor or settling of the building, which is of common occurrence. Referring to the drawings, Figure lis a side elevation of our complete device detached from the bowl. Fig. 2 is a verticalsectional taken lapproximately Fig. 3 is a horizontal approximately on the' vention is to construct to the bowl of a Waterde a water and sewersot' its adjustable conthrough the center. sectional viewtaken line a a of Fig. 2.

In the construction ofthe device, we provide a cylindrical tube l., any desirable manner as shown", which is in connected to the 'horn is provided at its one end with aprojeeting iiange 2. Below the flange is an extension 3 of thi-nner material than the tube proper and adapted to be titte in o a ru-b' ber spud 4:, its purpose being. full 'f he 'einaf ter set forth. The rubber spu'd 4 is provided! at its upper end with a projecting -dange 5,

whic" is to snugly' fit against .the under sur? face of the fiange 2 and the nppersrface ofl :nipple 6 andare eacv securely' and formed integral therewith` 2.) The cap 7 has at its-upper end an inf wardly-p rejecting flange 8 ,Which seats against the upper surface of' the flange 2. The nip ple 6 is formed integral with a cylin larger circumference wardly to any desired `der is placed the horn ner surface With a plurality of grooves 1l. In this horn, attached to bowl, is held the rub'- ber spud by means of a metallic ring 12, actgyits' te dency bein the rubber spud within the manner as shown in Fig. 2, thereby tightly and extending downlength. In this cylin r holding-the same therein and causing a tight joint. The ring l2 is constructed, as shown in Fig. `3, with its ends lapping each other and formed at their extremities into inwardlyL bent hooks. The normal `tendency of the spring is to opel to a larger diameter, which causes a perfect joint by pressing the rubber into the groove 1l of the horn; but byinserting a suitable tool ping ends are caused to slide over each other, which reduces the diameter yof the ring, as is necessary in removing or inserting the rubber Within `the horn. lSaid tool is introduced from the upper end of -the device shown in Fig. 2 andthe cap later.

The arrangement oi' connc; with the flanged d: esga perfect water and by the use of said spud in this conrec filon the horns of the Walter-closet bowls are revented from breaking or .is caused by the settling of VHaving fully described ou ,we claim, and desire tosefcn but, SM "n f1'. l.
