    Jones Apparatus for Draining and Collecting Sewage, tyc. same, when left free. The flexible joints are made of any waterproof air-tite material, and secured to the respective parts so as to prevent the least smell escaping. It will be seen that this kind of improved movable trap and pan are capable 5 of being adapted to any kind of portable watercloset, or night commode, or invalid chair, by simply fixing underneath a vessel to slide in air-tite grooves, the same being so adapted with a lid to slide over it, while in the act of being withdrawn, as hown at Fig. 9. Having thus described the mode of dealing with the sewage matters in the 10 drains and waterclosets, I now proceed to describe the latter part of my Invention, whereby the drains may be more securely & strongly constructed by the manufacture of a better material. Fig. 9 X is a section ; Fig. 10 a plan; and Fig. 11a front view of a com¬ pound brick machine, one part working by means of an horizontal wheel with 15 molds, pistons, and palets, and an incline plane underneath the pistons for raising the bricks. Letter a is the pugmill with knives and an archimedian screw, for forcing out the clay to supply the molds; b is the molding wheel; c are pistons for forcing the clay into the molds. Piston No. 1 wets the molds by descending 20 into it with a sop ; No, 2 molds the bricks; and No. 3 finishes it by giving it a final pressure ; C X is an horizontal piston for forcing the clay into the mold box, made to slide in grooves. The whole of the pistons are worked by cams suitably adjusted on the disk/,/. The bricks are molded on palet boards covered with felt, and lifted out of the molds by the alternate motion of the 25 wheel, acted upon by teeth on the disk as seen at x. The pistons in the molds having friction rollers, are worked by the incline plane by which the bricks are delivered as hown at letter eX ; g are lumps of clay severed by the cutting wires h as the clay passes along on the friction rollers. The virticle molding machine i being fed with them by 2 boys, one on each side. 30 This virticle machine is worked by the forked leaver l, for giving the pressure, and by the leaver m for lifting the mold, and delivering the brick. The operation is as follows :—The forkid leaver first gives the pressure, and then rises an in inch or so, when it becomes stationary, and the leaver m coming in contact with the cam on the disk / f the molds are thereby lifted up, and 35 the bricks are forced out by the stationary pistons: A palet board or boards being firs slided under to receive them when they pass on to the rollers 7c. The short leaver markid n is connected with the leaver /, and with per¬ forates which are set in motion simultaniously with the pressure given to the clay, and immediately delivered or made to descend when the pistons rise
