Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For a new and improved construction of Vaults and Privies; Thomas Rundle, Boston, Massachusetts, September 10.
Numerous patents have been obtained for water closets, both here and in Europe, and many of them answer the purpose contemplated in a very perfect manner. The apparatus proposed by the present patentee, as a substitute for them, would require an engraving in order to its explanation, and we are not of an opinion that it merits this expense, as we doubt its practical utility. There is an array of levers, valves, strainers, an air pump, and many other appendages, no particular parts of which are claimed, the whole arrangement being, and we believe justly, considered as new. A very perfect and beautiful model is deposited in the patent office.”
