Improvements in Siphon Caps or Heads for Bottles to Contain
Aerated Liquids.
I AUGUSTE EMILE HENRI LozÉ of 281 West Derby Road, Liverpool, in
the County of Lancaster, Aerated Water Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The main objects are to provide, for bottles to contain aerated liquids,―siphon
caps or heads having the following advantages, simplicity of construction, absence
of metallic contact for the liquids, secure retention, and free delivery of contents
when required; ease in filling and non-liability to get out of order.
Figure 1 is a vertical section through a cap or head under my invention.
a is a
block or piece of porcelain, glass, or other hard material unacted on by aerated
liquids. is a bottom collar and c a top collar cast on the block or piece a and
beld securely in position by grooves, recesses, projections or equivalent devices d
cast or formed with the block or piece a. The block or piece a is made with a
central way e and downward extension f, and with a valve seat annular passage h
and hollow nozzle i. j is a diaphragm valve of rubber or suitable flexible material
fitting on the top of the block or piece a within the collar c. k is a cap screwing
into the collar c. 1 is a block resting on the diaphragm valve, and acted on by
a thumb screw m which passes through the cap k. n bottle neck, o washer
resting on the bottle neck, p the usual screwed ring fitting around the bottle
neck. 9 syphon tube which passes freely into the central way e and is held
loosely in position by a piece of rubber tuber fitting over the said siphon tube
and over the extension piece f. The said rubber serves also to make a tight
joint between the syphon tube and the cap or head. It will be observed that the
liquids passing from the bottle to the nozzle never come into contact with metal,
that a free exit is provided when the diaphragm valve is raised, that the syphon
tube may reach to the bottom of the bottle without danger of being broken
owing to the flexible connection. That the advantages of a non metallic head or
cap are secured as far as regards non metallic contact with the liquids together
with the advantages of a metallic cap or head for holding the working parts and
for enabling the said head or cap to be secured to the bottle, and this without
complicated fastenings and connections between the non-metallic and metallic
parts.
Figure 2 is a vertical section through a modified cap or head the same letters
denote parts equivalent to those in Figure 1. Here the block is pressed on the
diaphragm valvej by means of a springs and is raised by a levert pivotted to the
cap k. The block a is made without the extension piece f, and the siphon tube q
is held in position by means of the rubber washer o.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what
I claim is :-
First. In siphon caps or heads the combination of a central non-metallic block
with metallic ends secured thereto substantially as set forth.
Second. The combination of compound siphon caps or heads with diaphragm

nections, substantially as set forth..
