PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Filling Internally-stoppered Bottles
with Aerated Liquids.
I AUGUSTE EMILE HENRI Lozk of 513 West Derby Road, Tue Brook Liverpool, in
the County of Lancaster, Aerated Water Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The object is to provide simple apparatus for filling rapidly and without waste
internally stoppered bottles with aerated liquids.
The apparatus under my invention consists essentially in the combination of means
for obtaining aerated liquids in bulk with novel appliances for conducting the said
liquid into internally stoppered bottles.
Any suitable means for obtaining acrated liquids in bulk and under pressure may
be used under my invention, but I prefer to use the means for which I obtained
British Letters Patent No. 10645 of the year 1886.
The novel appliances for conducting the said liquid into the bottles consist of a frame
free to be rotated on trunnions one end of which is fitted with an automatically closing
valve communicating with the aerated liquid in bulk, whilst the other end is provided
with a spring table and lever for holding and releasing the bottles to be filled.
Dated this 12th day of November 1889.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Filling Internally-stoppered Bottles
with Aerated Liquids.
I AUGUSTE EMILE HENRI LOZE of 513 West Derby Road, Tuc Brook, 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 object is to provide simple apparatus for filling rapidly and without waste
internally stoppered bottles with aerated liquids.
The apparatus under my invention consists essentially in the combination of means
for obtaining aerated liquids in bulk with novel appliances for conducting the said
liquid into internally stoppered bottles.
Any suitable means for obtaining aerated liquids in bulk and under pressure may
be used under iny invention but I prefer to use the means for which I obtained
British Letters Patent No. 10645 of the year 1886.
The novel appliances for conducting the said liquid into the bottles consist of a frame
free to be rotated on trunnions one end of which is fitted with an automatically closing
valve communicating with the aerated liquid in bulk whilst the other end is provided
with a spring table and lever for holding and releasing the bottles to be filled.
The accompanying drawing is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of
novel apparatus under my invention for conducting liquids aerated in bulk into bottles-
a is a standard fitted with bearings b, c is a frame provided with trunnions d d free to
rotate in the bearings b. The trunnion d is hollow and is coupled by a pipe e passing
hrough a stuffing box fon the said trunnion to the bulk supply of aerated liquid.
From the hollow truunion d a pipe g leads to a valve chest / secured to one end of the
rame c. Within the valve chest is a valvo i which closes an opening j. The said
alve is provided with a stem having feathers k and a collar ³, which rests against the
[Price 6d.]

page_text: washer 7, and a boss which projects through the washer. There is also an opening
through the valve stem collar and boss for the passage of aerated liquid into the bottle.
The washer is secured to the valve chest by a coupler m and forms the seat for the
bottle neck, n is a table provided with a stem o which passes freely through a boss p
on the opposite end of the frame c to the valve chest. 7 is a chamber which screws on
to the boss p and contains a spring r. The spring presses against an enlargement o¹
of the stem o and forces the table n towards the valve chest. s is a bell crank lever
pivotted to the frame cat t and coupled to the table stem o at w. vis a bottle being
filled. The apparatus is used as follows:-The table n is depressed by means of the
lever and a bottle is placed in the position shown with its mouth down against the
washer Z.
The lever s is released and the table rises and forces the bottle neck against the
washer until the valve i is opened and the aeratod liquid rushes into the bottle.
The frame c is then turned until the bottle is upright, the table is depressed, air is
allowed to escape, the table is allowed to rise and force the bottle neck again against
the washer and the filling is completed.
The framo is then again turned until the bottle is inverted and the internal stopper
falls into its lace in tho neck of the bottle. The levers is operated and the bottle
ejected by the pressure of the liquid on the valve and washer. A table or shelf is
preferably attached to the stand to receive the filled bottles.
The main feature of this part of the invention is that only one valve is used acting
automatically without the aid of a spring or springs.
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 of apparatus for producing aerated liquids in bulk with
filling apparatus having a rotating frame and automatically closing valve.
Second. Filling apparatus for bottles constructed substantially as herein set forth.
