Improved Apparatus for the Manufacture of Aerated Water or
other Liquid.
We, CHARLES TURNER, and SYDNEY BURGE, of 496 Harrow Road, Middlesex,
Mineral Water Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to constructing an apparatus whereby water and other
liquids can be aerated in a cheap and efficient manner without the use of steam, or
other power.
For the purpose of our invention, we construct a cylinder, preferably of glass,
and having at its upper part a sprayer or rose, through which the water passes in
spray form into the cylinder to be impregnated with carbonic acid or other gas
coming from a gas tube by a pipe and issuing from a nozzle fitted in the bottom or
other part of the cylinder. The water by this means becomes thoroughly aerated
and can be led by a pipe to the bottling machine.
Suitable water gauge is provided to tell the height of aerated water in the
cylinder as also a pressure gauge to tell pressure of gas within the cylinder.
A safety valve is also provided.
The water may after leaving the rose or sprayer fall or come in contact with
marbles or other like articles to ensure it being properly broken up into particles
that it can enter the cylinder through a perforated disc in fine spray, or mist like
form, or the rose or sprayer may be dispensed with, and the marbles or like
appliances used alone for spraying the entering water.
The gas entrance may also be supplied with marbles, or like appliances for
breaking up the gas, the marbles being kept together by a perforated disc.
The water preferably drawn off from the bottom of the cylinder and below
the gas inlet.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for the Manufacture of Aerated Water or
other Liquid.
We CHARLES TURNER and SYDNEY BURGE both of 496 Harrow Road,
Middlesex, Mineral Water Manufacturers 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 :-
This invention relates to constructing an apparatus whereby water and other
liquid can be aerated in a cheap and efficient manner without the use of steam
or other power, the water falling in spray form from a closed reservoir through a
cylinder containing carbonic acid gas which rises up and equalises the pressure in
the cylinder and reservoir.
For the purpose of our invention and as shown in the annexed drawings, in which
Figures 1 and 2 are sectional and side elevations respectively, we construct a
cylinder A preferably of glass and having at its upper part a sprayer or rose B
through which the water is passed in spray form from a reservoir C into the
cylinder A to be impregnated with carbonic acid or other gas coming from a gas
ID

page_text: tube D by a pipe E and issuing from a nozzle F fitted in the bottom or other part
of the cylinder A. The water by this means becomes thoroughly aerated and can
be led by a pipe G to the bottling machine.
Suitable water gauge H is provided to tell the height of aerated water in the
cylinder as also a pressure gauge I to tell the pressure of gas within the
cylinder A.
A safety valve J is also provided on the reservoir C.
The water may after leaving the rose or sprayer B fall or come in contact with
marbles or other like articles at K to ensure it being properly broken up into
particles that it can enter the cylinder through a perforated disc L to trickle down
in spray or mist like form or the rose or sprayer may be dispensed with and the
marbles or like appliances used alone for spraying the entering water.
The gas supply pipe entrance may also be supplied with marbles or like
appliances as at M for breaking up the gas the marbles being kept together by a
perforated disc N.
The reservoir has a syphon tube P and as the pressure increases in the upper
part of the cylinder A it is conveyed by the syphon P through the water to the
reservoir and thus exerts an uniform pressure in both chambers and allows the
water to fall by gravity.
In first filling the reservoir the safety valve is opened to permit of the air
escaping the tap Q being then shut off and when the reservoir is charged with
water to the required height, the safety valve is closed and the gas and water inlet
opened into the glass cylinder A.
The draw off pipe G has spread mouth for more highly impregnating the water
in transit.
The water in falling from the top to bottom of cylinder A absorbs a certain
amount of carbonic acid gas as it rises to fill the space in the reservoir C occupied
by the water such absorption being augmented by causing the gas to bubble up
through the water in the reservoir C and by arranging the mouth of the outlet
pipe over the gas inflow.
From the foregoing it will be seen that manual labour is entirely dispensed with,
the pressure of gas being sufficient to efficiently aerate the water and to expel it
forcibly for bottling purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In a machine for aerating water or other liquid the use of a closed reservoir
containing water or other liquid arranged above a cylinder through which said
water or other liquid is caused to fall by gravity in spray form from a nozzle to
absorb carbonic acid gas as it rises through said cylinder from a spray nozzle at
the bottom as set forth and substantially as shown in the annexed drawings.
2. In an aerating machine of the kind described the means by which gas is taken
from the cylinder to within the closed reservoir for an aeration of the liquid therein
and for establishing an uniform pressure within the cylinder and closed reservoir.
3. The combination of the several parts arranged in the manner shown and
constituting a machine for aeration of liquids as described.
