COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Seltzogenes or like Apparatus for Preparing
Aerated Waters,
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 particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference being
had to the accompanying drawing:-
-
The object of this invention is to provide a seltzogene or like. apparatus in
which there shall be no liability of the gas generating materials or liquid coming
into contact with the water to be aerated; which shall be easily charged with
materials; in which the aerating gas may be generated with no admixture with
air and in which there shall be little or no loss of gas while the apparatus is being
charged.
For these purposes I join the receptacle for the water to be aerated to the recep-
tacle for the gas generating materials by a screw or other joint. I provide a
removable stopper or division piece between the two receptacles. Such stopper
acts as a cork to keep the water in the water receptacle while the other recep-
tacle is being charged with gas generating materials. The stopper is provided
with a valve to allow gas to pass into the water receptacle. The gas generating
receptacle is provided with a valve which can be closed to retain the gas until
the two receptacles are secured together. When secured together the valve in
the gas generating receptacle is opened by a projection preferably on the stopper
above mentioned.

The accompanying drawing is a vertical section partly in elevation of a scltzo-
gene constructed in accordance with my invention. a is the aerated water recep-
tacle connected by a screw joint b to the gas generating receptacle c.
stopper or division piece with rubber facing or disc which, when the receptacles
are disconnected, can be removed so that the receptacle a can be filled with water
through the opening a¹. When filled the stopper is again inserted thereby closing
the opening a¹ and retaining the water in the receptacle while the other receptacle c
is being charged. e is a tube passing through the stopper and secured thereto
and provided with a rubber tube f covering holes g in the tube e. This forms
a non return valve which will allow gas to pass up into the receptacle a. h is
valve in the gas generating receptacle c. This valve which usually occupies
the position shown by the solid lines is free to move on the guide i so that when
the gas generating materials such as carbonate of soda, tartaric acid, and water
have been filled into the receptacle through the opening j, such valve can be
Irawn, by a hook inserted into the eye h¹, up into the position shown by the
lotted lines thereby closing the opening ; and retaining the gas generated. On
crewing the two receptacles together the projecting part e¹ of the tube e or other
ike device pushes down the valve h thereby allowing the gas to flow up the
ube e into the water receptacle a and aerate the water, the aeration being more
apid by the gas passing through the water. The valve being thus released

page_text: falls again into its lowest position. Instead of being drawn up by a hook the
valve might be held up to the opening ; by a spring, if desired.
Having now particularly described and, ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
-
First. The combination with a gas generating receptacle and a receptacle for
water to be aerated of a removable stopper or division piece provided with a non
return valve substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
Second. The combination with a gas generating receptacle of a retaining valve
adapted to be operated by a projection or the like connected with the receptacle
for water to be aerated or with a division piece between the two receptacles sub-
stantially as and for the purpose set forth."
Third The combination with a gas generating receptacle and a receptacle for
water to be aerated of a removable stopper or division piece, provided with a non
return valve, and a retaining valve in the gas generating receptacle substantially
as and for the purpose set forth.
