Portable Structures or Vehicles for the Manufacture and Sale of
Aerated Beverages.
I, WILLIAM HENRY PAYNE, of 11, Preston Road, Blackpool, Lancashire, Manager
of a Mineral Water Manufactory, 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 the following manner:-
This invention relates to a travelling or field aerated water manufactory_com-
prising a van, conveyance or other portable structure with or without wheels,
equipped and fitted with machines, apparatus and tools suitable for the manu-
facture of aerated waters, and the object of which is to provide an immediate
supply for the sale of such aerated waters when travelling from town to town and
putting up at camps or various enclosures where a ready demand or sale would be
obtained.
For this purpose I prefer to employ a van or other vehicle of suitable construction
for containing the said machinery or apparatus which would include tanks or
receptacles for filtering and storing water or syrups and for washing bottles.
Also machinery for washing and filling bottles, corking and aerating liquids, and
racks and shelves for storing and holding bottles, or any other apparatus connected
with the manufacture and sale of aerated waters.
One side of the said vehicle is formed with an opening fitted with a hinged flap
which is opened out and propped in an elevated position when required, a counter
being fitted inside the vehicle in front of the said opening to facilitate the sale of
beverages to the public.
And in order to clearly understand my said invention I will describe the same
with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is a longi-
tudinal section of a van fitted with machinery and apparatus suitable for the
manufacture of aerated waters but it is to be understood that I do not confine myself
to the particular machinery or arrangements of parts shown so long as the same
is applicable to the purpose required. Fig. 2 is a cross section of the vehicle.
a is the body of the vehicle and 661 entrance doors which may however be on
one side or in any other suitable position. The interior of the vehicle is fitted
with shelves a¹ and with a counter c running in front of an opening formed in
one side of the van and fitted with a flap d hinged at d¹, the said flap being kept
in its closed position by pivoted or other suitable catches d². e is a tank or tanks
for storing water and f,f, are receptacles for storing syrups. 9 is an ordinary
aerating and bottling machine connected with the receptacles f by the pipe f',
and h is a washing tub. The van is provided with a glazed roof i for light and
ventilation.
When using the vehicle for the sale of beverages the flap d is opened outwards
and propped in a horizontal position, thus exposing the opening in the side through
which the public may be served from the counter c.
