PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Heads or Stoppers for Syphons and Seltzogenes or
like Vessels.
1, HENRY JAMES NICOLE of 127 Highbury Quadrant in the County of Middlesex,
Watchmaker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :--
This invention has for its object the production of a head, or stoppering means,
for an aerated water syphon, or seltzogene or like vessel, of improved construction
designed to avoid contamination of the contained liquid by contact thereof with the
usual metal parts and this I attain by making the case or barrel of the head
including the spout entirely or substantially wholly of stoneware, pottery or china,
and the valve stem and valve of glass, pottery, stoneware or china, in one piece
preferably the screw for connecting it to the parts operating it and moved by the
lever depressed by the user, is secured to the stem by suitable cement such as molten
tin or preferably the brass or metal screw is pressed into the glass material whilst it
is in a softened condition from heat. Again I sometimes form the screw itself of
the glass or other material already mentioned for the valve stem.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Heads or Stoppers for Syphons and Seltzogenes or
like Vessels.
I HENRY JAMES NICOLE formerly of 127 Highbury Quadrant, but now of
85 St. John's Street Road, in the County of Middlesex, Watchmaker do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention has for its object the production of a head, or stoppering means,
for an aerated water syphon, or seltzogene or like vessel, of improved construction
designed to avoid containination of the contained liquid by contact thereof with the
usual metal parts and this I attain by making the case or barrel of the head
including the spout entirely or substantially wholly of stoneware, pottery or china
and the valve stem and valve of glass, pottery, stoneware or china, in one piece
preferably the screw for connecting it to the parts operating it and moved by the
lever depressed by the user, is secured to the stem by suitable cementitious or fixing
matter such as molten tin-or preferably the brass or metal screw is pressed into
the glass material whilst it is in a softened condition from heat. Again I some-
times form the screw itself of the glass or other material already mentioned for the
valve stem.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 shews a partly sectional view of the head of a syphon the portion marked a a
being wholly of porcelain, glass or other like matter as aforesaid, is the valve
and the valve stem also in one piece and of like material.
Fig. 2 is a separate side view of the valve 6 and its stem in one piece with the
screw 62.
Fig. 3 is a separate side view of the same parts but with a female thread formed
in a recess ³ in the stem b' to receive the metal junction screw b².

page_text: Fig. 4 is a like view to Figs. 2 and 3 of another modification in that the upper
stem is in one piece with a screw at 6 to connect the stem to the valve b, or it
may be screwed both top and bottom to the enlargements or cemented thereto.
Fig. 5 shews a modification in the form of the seat a' for the valve in that it is
formed as a projecting bead for the valve to seat upon.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. The construction substantially in one piece of the case or barrel of the head of
a syphon from stoneware, pottery, or china as set forth.
2. The construction in one piece of glass, stoneware, pottery, or china of the
valve stem and valve of a syphon head preferably with a male or female screw thread
formed thereon, as set forth.
3. The construction of the case or barrel of the head of a syphon substantially in
one piece of stoneware, pottery, or china and its employment in combination with a
valve stem and valve constructed of one piece of glass, pottery, stoneware, or china,
as set forth.
