: the city-of New York, county of New York, and State .of-New York, and at the borough of Manhattan, in the city'of New York ,v county of New York, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Water-Closet Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

"--'This,.invention relates to water closets andit consists of certain novel parts and combinations of parts particularly pointed out in the claims concluding this specification.

l In the accompanying drawings wherein we have shown ;a pre erred'embodiment of our invention by 'fway of illustrationyFigure 1 is a perspective view of a I 4 bowl involving our invention; Fig. 2 is'a perspective aw looking into the bowl from the rear; Fig. 3 .is a secviewof one of the hinged posts for the seat,

'Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a modified form of our in- .fvention; Fig. 5 shows a central cross section of the channel connecting the supply pipe with the flush rims. The following is a' description of the water closet 2,5 bowl shown in the drawings, which illustrate forms whichfwe at present prefer to embody our invention, but it be understood that various modifications and changes may :be made in the detail's'of the same without departing from the spirit of our invention and without exceeding the scope of the concluding claims.

Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the drawings, the numeral 1 represents a water closet bowl provided with the flushing rims 6 6. These two rims connect with a common source of supply by means of the chan- They then lead around leaving'aagecess or space 3 between their ends, the walls of this recess being the surface of the bowl and the opposed erids of the flush rim. The upper surface of the 4 flush rim is raised above this recess and extended to from a shield 2 over the same. The ends of the flush rim have perforations 7 7 therein whereby the surface of the bowl in-the recess maybe flushed, At the rear of the bowl, also, the ends of the flush rims are opposed toeach other and 'a' recess or space 5 is here formed, the

7 walls of said recess being the ends of the rims and the rear surface of the bowl. The upper surface of the flush at this point is preferably raised above the general co1it o ur of the and forms a shelf, the top of which -extends inward to the line of the flush rims and outward beyond the back of the bowl. The surfaceof the recess beneath this plate is flushed by means of the per-' I forations 8, 8, in the opposed ends of the flush The numeral 10 indicates the seat which hasithe front Specification of Letters Patent.

cutaway and the ends thereof formed to fit each side of the shield 2, which shield preferably projects slightly beyond the front of the bowl so as to meet the forward ends of the seat and impart to the structure a symmet- The seat at the rear has a dove-tail block 11 inlaid to prevent the section from parting.

The numerals 12, 12, indicate hinged posts each having a tubular section extending to the rear. These posts are secured to the rear-of the shelf 4 by a nut 20 or other'means. 4

13 is a rod extending through the hinged posts and to which the seat hinges, 14, 14 are secured by means of nuts 15, 15 which are screwed to the ends-of the rod '13.

16 is a washer of any suitable substance within the rearwardly extending section of the hinged posts 12. This washer serves as a lock to check the movement of the rod 13, against the surface of which it is forced by means of the spring 18 and the screw plug 19. Thus surface is inclined toward the wall of the bowl.

be necessary to so clean it, unless the same is done manually. With our invention, it will be plainly'seen' that this difliculty has been overcome, for, by dividing the flush rim a recess is left at the front and at the rear between the ends of the rims where any substance of perforations in the rims. Hence, all the surface within the bowl necessary to be cleaned will be flushed.

Furthen'it will be noted, as we have previously stated in this specification, that the upper surface of .the flush rim at the front of the bowl is raised above the recess and extended to form a shield 2 over the same, and also that at the rear of the bowl theends of the flush rims are opposed to each other and a recess or space 5 formed, the walls of said recess being the end of the rims and the rear surface of the bowl. Further, the upper surface of. the flush rim at this point, or the rear, is also raised or elevated above the general contour of ,the rim. It will therefore be noted that We have provided a bowl having a front elevated portion might collect, and theserecessesare flushed by means formed with a recess and arear elevated portion formed with a recess, and that the entire bowl, includingv the main portion of the bowl, and the front and'rear elevated recess, maybe thoroughly flushed. Therefore, any substance, instead of collecting upon the rim at the front and rear of the bowl, will lodge in the 'recess from whence it is readily removable by means of the flush.

What we claim is;

l. A; water closet howl having a flushing rim, a shield formed 011 the top and front of the bowl integral with the rim and having the sides within the bowl cut away to form a recess. a flushing rim terminatingnt each sidoof the recess and havim, an outletat either end discharging into the recess to clean the wall of said recess. and a seat having the front cut away to conform to the sides of the shield.
