CHARLES H. MOORE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
WATER-CLOSET OUTLET CONNECTION.-
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing in New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in VVater- Closet Outlet Connections, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide an earthenware water closet constructed at the base and outlet end, so that in conjunction with a grooved metal floor plate that connects to the soil pipe and a grease soaked gasket, a trap is formed that will provide a perfect seal against the inflow of sewer gas notwithstanding any slight movement of the closet after it is installed. To accomplish this, I form a groove in the floorplate by two imperforate flanges, one of them extending up from the outer edge of the floor-plate and one of them extending up from the inner edge of the floor-plate, and in this groove I place an oil or grease soaked compressible gasket; that grease enough is pressed from when the closet is bolted to the floor-plate to surround and submerge the lower end of the depending ring and form an independent grease seal at each side of the said ring and between it and the flanges of the floor-plate, and a communication is made from the space between the inner flange of the floor-plate and the ring 3, to the discharge pipe of the closet so that whenever the closet is flushed the space referred to between the inner flange of the floor plate and the ring 3 if not filled with grease will at once be filled with water. thereby assuring a trapped and sewer gas tight joint at the end of the discharge limb under all conditions.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a central vertical section of the invention connected to a leaden soil pipe. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the under side of the device. Fig. 3 represents a modification of the device connected to an iron soil pipe. Fig. t shows the flange soldered to a pipe projecting above the floor line.
1 represents the discharge end of an earthenware water closet having one or more holes through the base at each side for bolts to enter and engage with a metal floor plate to secure the closet to the soil pipe.
2 is a circumferential groove formed in the Specification of Letters Patent.

to fit in the recess 5 and forms the inner,
flange of the floor-plate 9 and the inner wall of the groove 10. a
9 shows a floor-plate that fits on the thimble 6 and is soldered thereto, and in conjunction with the upper end of the said thimble that extends into the closet, forms a groove 10 for the depending ring 3 to enter and form a trap. This floor-plate 9 rests upon the offset in the thimble 6 and covers the solder joint that connectsit to the thimble, therefore the said solder oint is not exposed to any gases from the sewer pipe. The groove 10 is made deep enough to admit the depending ring 3 to enter it some distance in compressing the gasket, so there is quite a space between the two flanges of the floorplate that forms the groove and the sides of e the depending ring 8 that is filled with grease pressed from the gasket when the closet is made rigid to the floor-plate.
12 represents two or more lugs that are made on the outside of the flange of the 13 represents a soft gasket saturated with grease oil or some suitable liquid substance that is pressed from the gasket when the closet 1s screwed in place, and W111 flow lnto the space between the flanges of the groove 10 and the depending ring 3 andmake a liquid seal independent of the compressed gasket joint.
14 represents the bolts and 15 is the floor.
In place of the gasket, any suitable sub,,
stance that will yield to slight pressure and not get hard can be used.
9 represents a depending threaded end of the floor-plate 9 and is intended to be used when iron or threaded metal soil pipe'is,
used up to the floor line. In Fig. 4: the leaden or other metal section of soil pipe is extended through the floor 15 and floor-plate 9 and forms the inner flange of the said floor plate 9.
The advantages are first: tour seals are provided within the groove of the floor-plate against the inflow of sewer gas so that perfeet security is maintained under all conditions. Second: the solder joint is protected so that sewer gas will not altect it. Third: the gasket is preserved by the grease that covers it and cannot become brittle or rotten, and will keep the gasket saturated.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1.
