1>The term Gripper is usually applied to medieval works, but this design method of pumping water up the roof and spewing it out, rather than down the drain, has been used throughout the ages. For example, in ancient Egypt, the water-billed beasts can be seen in flat-topped temples. They are used to spray sacred utensils. Most of them are in the shape of a lion’s head, and there is not much variation. Similar lion mouth blowholes were found in ancient Greek temples. They are generally carved into the eaves of marble or terracotta bricks. For example, there are 39 lion head blowholes left in the Temple of Zeus. Originally the temple had 102 Grippers, but because of their heavy weight (they were made of marble), many had fallen and had to be replaced.
Terracotta-brick Grippers with various animal heads have also been found in Pompeii.
Many medieval cathedrals have gargoyles or gargoyles, the most famous of which is that of Notre-Dame de Paris. However, most of the monster statues on Notre Dame are not drip-billed beasts, and not only monsters. For example, there are real animals such as monkeys, and humorous portraits.
Decorated or unadorned drainage structures on buildings were common until the early 18th century. Since then, more and more buildings have begun to use drainage pipes to divert the rainwater from the roof to the ground sewers, and only a few buildings still use the Gripper. The London Building Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1724, mandated the use of drains in all new buildings.
