Improvements in and relating to Syphon Heads for Bottles and
other like Vessels.
1, JAMES WILLIAM HUDSON Argyl Mount Mansfield Notts Gentleman, 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:-
My invention consists of an improved method of attaching syphon heads to
bottles and other like vessels, containing fermented or aerated liquors, and in the
manner of securing the draw tube to the syphon head, so as to make an air or gas
tight joint.
The following is a description of the manner in which the draw tube is secured
to the syphon head and the syphon head attached to the bottle or other like
vessel.
The india rubber ring A on Fig. 1. is placed around the metal collar B and on
the top of metal collar B is placed another india rubber ring C. the draw tube D
is then placed through the rubber rings A and C and the metal collar B and being
bell mouthed at the top as 'shewn at E is held in position when put into the neck
of the bottle or other vessel. When the draw tube, rings and collar have been
placed in position in the neck of the bottle or other vessel a loose metal plate F, is
fixed over metal collar B and the upper part of the syphon head G. is screwed
down on to the metal collar B. When this has been done the bell mouth of the
draw tube E. is pressed down to the rubber ring C. and a tight joint made.
The screwing down of the upper part of syphon head G also holds the metal
plate F. in position laterally.
To secure the syphon head to a bottle or other like vessel two semi-circular
wires H. with hooked ends are placed round the neck of the vessel to which the
syphon head is to be attached, and the two hooked ends of wires H. on each side of
the neck of the vessel, coming together are passed through the eye in the bottom
end of screw bolts J. The top ends of each of the screw bolts J. are pushed into
the slot K. at each end of metal plate F. and the semicircular wires H. drawn up
tight under the neck of the vessel by means of screwing down the winged nuts L.
on to the screw bolts J.
Fig. 1. shews section through syphon head.
Fig. 2. shews front view of syphon head.
Fig. 3 shews side view of same.
Fig. 4 shews plan looking down on syphon head.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
ion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
laim is:
1st. An improved method of securely attaching syphon heads to any bottle or
other like vessel.
2nd. An improved method of securing the draw tube to a syphon head so as to
make an air or gas tight joint.
Dated this 18th day of December 1896.
