    BrooJces Improvements in Apparatus for Deodorizing Noxious Gases. describe tbe same in detail, and in order that the same may be clearly understood I have hereunto annexed a Sheet of Drawings illustrative thereof, and have marked the same with figures and letters of reference, the same letter referring to the same part in various views or Figures, in which Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a gully with my improvements attached ; Fig. 2 is a 5 sectional plan through the line A, B, on Fig. 1 ; Figs. 3, 4, and 5 shew other forms of gulleys with deodorant attached ; Fig. 6 is a sectional plan through the line C, D, on Fig. 4 ; Fig. 7 is a sectional plan of a gully with air passage or separate passage for the gases ; Fig. 8 is a vertical section shewing construction and arrangement of apparatus and material for effecting 10 deodorization and discharge of gases by means of the ordinary rain pipes; at Fig. 9 is shewn application of apparatus to existing gullies and rain pipes; at Fig. 10 is shewn application of the apparatus in connection with water- closet drain pipe. At A is shewn a gully communicating with the sewer by means of the bend B and pipes b; on the said bend is a box or chamber C, 15 the bottom of which is perforated or provided with an opening D for the passage of gases from the sewer. To the interior of the box or chamber C is introduced a tray or screen E containing charcoal (or other deodorant), the noxious gases pass through the opening D and charcoal contained in the screen E (course shewn by arrows), and through the aperture F to the 20 surface grating G. At G1 is shewn a partition or midfeather immersed in the water contained in the gully, thus forming an ordinary “ trap/5 and pre¬ venting the noxious gases arriving at the surface grating otherwise than by way above described. Access to the tray or screen E for the purpose of inspecting or replenishing the charcoal from time to time is obtained by raising the lid 25 or cover H placed at the surface level of the ground, or the tray or screen may be removed for that purpose through the aperture F. The bend or branch B may be divided by a midfeather bl (see Fig. 7), the upper passage b2 serving for the escape of gases after deodorization by passing through the charcoal in the tray or screen E as above described, the lower passage b 30 serving to convey the surface water to the sewer or drain; or a tray or screen E containing charcoal may be placed in the interior of the gully A (see Fig. 5), and a funnel-mouthed pipe I, supported vertically therein by means of the tray or screen E, the lower part of such pipe being immersed in the water contained in the gully, thus forming a u trap ; ” to the surface 35 grating is attached a hopper G2, which serves to convey surface water into the funnel mouth of the pipe I, and by means of the bend B and pipes b to the sewer or drain. The gases pass through the tray or screen E, and are deodorized, afterwards escaping by the surface grating. In discharging
