fore the circuit court of the district of Connecticut, (Wallace, ,T.,) in Adee v. Peck, 42 Fed. Rep. 497. The improvement of Foley, as stated by Judge Wallace, COllsistt'd in bringing the standpipe of' the overflow up through I he casing of the bowl or bath, and securely attaching it by a removable cap to the upper side of the casing. The claim wm; for the standpipe passing through the casing, and receiving; at its upper end the removable cap, in combination with the over;iow pipe, valve, and means of suspending the overflow pipe and vnlYe from the cap, substantially as set forth. The means of attaching the standpipe to the upper side of the slab described in the original patent was the flange of the removable cap extending ontwardly around the standpipe upon the slab. In the reissue this function of the removable cap is omitted from the description, and the removable cap is left to be a cover, only, of the The drawings remain the same, but the retention there of the partR omitted from the description does not help the effect of omission. James v. Campbell, 104 U. S. 356. The remontb:e cap described in the reissue is not one securing the standpipe to the upper side of the slab. In Carr's device the standpipe is so brought up, but is secured by a flange. It is combined with an overflow pipe, valve, and means of suspending the overflow valve and pipe, but not from a cap. It has no cap as a cover of the standpipe. These means of suspem;ion are bayonet fastenings, turning, when raised, betwe the overflow pipe and the standn pipe. '1'his is not the combination of the reissued patent. Carr altered Foley's invention and improved upon it, but did not appropriate it as patented in the reissue. Decree affirmed.
