    Jones Apparatus for Draining and Collecting Sewage, Qc. the first inch, and before the molds are elevated at all. The molds when fully raised become suspended by the catch p, and are again liberated by the pistons being elevated, the cams r on the side rods come in contact with the lower pert of the catches, by which they are relieved; Fig. 12 are large blocks molded by the same verticle machine, by changing the molds and pistons 5 for constructing sewers as shown in section Fig. 13. It will be easily seen that, by setting .the pistons to any angle, wedged-formid bricks can me molded to suit any kind of drain, be the same large or small. Having now described the nature of my improvements, I would have it understood, that I do not claim the several parts seperately as enumerated; 10 but what I desire to claim as the Invention secured to me by the Letters Patent afforesaid is,— First, the portable tanks for collecting the sewage and debrise of the streets, togather with the filtering gratings and flood-gates as described, with the mode of effecting their removal. 15 Second, the gully traps and tanks as described. Third, the closet pan and trap with flexible joints and aparatus as described for the various purposes. Forth, the sink and area trap & tank. Fifthly, I claim the mode of manufacturing bricks as described, by the 20 combination of pistons, leavers, and perferaters, connected with the cutting aparatus for preparing the blocks. I do not necessarily confine myself to the precise modes herein described for effecting the objects set fort, as the same may be varied to advantage. In witness whereof, I, the said Edward Jones, have hereunto set my 25 hand and seal, the Twenty-sixth day of Janry, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine. Witness, Joseph Porter, 15, York Buildings, Adelphi. EDWARD JONES, (l.s.) 30 LONDON: Printed by George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode, Printers to the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty. 1859.
