Bottling.-Relates to apparatus for filling bottles with beer or other carbonated or effervescent beverages, &c., and applicable also for filling kegs or barrels from a vat or tank. Fig. 3 shows the apparatus as employed for filling bottles. The liquid is supplied to the receiving - cylinder B, through one or other of the two valve-controlled pipes b, which are connected to separate supply casks &c., so that an empty cask can be dis- connected without stopping the operation. From the cylinder B, the liquid passes through a lateral, flexible, valve - controlled pipe to the inlet pipe E<1> of the delivery tank C, the liquid being discharged obliquely through a longitudinal slot in the pipe E<1> against the side of the tank C, to minimize frothing. From the tank C the liquid is delivered through the siphon tubes G into the bottles. The siphon tubes are mounted in screw glands g, Fig. 8, pivoted on trunnions g<5> in plates fixed to the top of the cylinder, the inner ends of the tubes being normally held against elastic pads f by the action of the springs h<7>. The pads f<1> serve to close the inner ends of the siphon tubes, and are mounted in recesses in a slide or frame F, which can be withdrawn for the purpose of removing and renewing the pads &c. The outer ends of the siphon tubes are provided with caps h, h<1>, mounted under the control of springs h<2> and adapted to make joint with the necks of the bottles. The caps are provided with passages connected to venting tubes. The bottles are sup- ported in position for filling by the bars H, H<1>, which are adjustably mounted on the arms H', the bar H being prefer- ably formed with a lip H<5>, to hold the bottle in position against the action of the spring h<7>. When the bottle is placed on the siphon tube G and depressed on to the rest H, H<1>, the tube is tilted on its trunnions, so that its inner end is removed from the pad f 1 to per- mit the delivery of the liquid. The liquid in the cylinders is preferably kept under pressure of compressed air or gas, which may be supplied from a distributing- cylinder L, connected by valve - controlled pipes L', L<2> to the cylinders B, C, and by pipes l<2> to the supply casks &c. The liquid stipply pipes and their valves are made of gradually-increasing sectional area from the inlet b to the discharge tubes G, for the purpose of gradually reducing the speed of the flow, and thus minimizing frothing. The cylinder B is adjustably mounted in guides a<2>, and can be raised or lowered by a treadle mechanism to increase or diminish the hydrostatic pressure in the cylinder C. The cylinder B is provided with a removable strainer B', and a drip-tray H<6> is mounted below the bottle holder.
