PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Nozzles for Cleaning and
Filling Aerated Water Syphons and other purposes.
JOHN POCOCK, Mineral Water Manufacturer, Garth, Bangor, North Wales,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A device for the purpose of throwing a jet of water up into the nozzles of
aerated water syphons in order to wash away the dirt which accumulates in the
same while empty and which would otherwise be forced into the interior of the
syphons when they are filled with aerated water, also for the purpose of rinsing
out the interior of the syphon or any similar receptacle or for rinsing out any small
tube or orifice; or the same device may be used for filling syphons with aerated
water.
The apparatus may be attached to the ordinary water supply or to the cylinder
usually employed for mixing the gas and water in a mineral water factory and
consists of a tube A through which water is thrown into the nozzle of the syphon
or other receptacle either automatically by the valve (C) to be after described and
which, as applied to this purpose, is claimed as part of the invention, or by the
ordinary tap B, the tube A is solid at its lower end but opens by one or more
openings sideways & it may carry at its lower end the valve C working in the
cylinder D which cylinder is provided with a plate or flange or other convenient
means of bolting or screwing it to a firm support as shown at E; the tube A works
through a stuffing box F and to it or to the stuffing box cover is attached the shield G
which may be round or of any other convenient shape, to prevent the waste water
spreading, said shield being provided at the back with one or more holes for the
purpose of carrying away the waste water. The valve is kept in position by the
spiral spring H. The shaded portions in the drawing are washers of leather,
rubber, or similar material and the cylinder carries at its lower end an ordinary
union for attachment to the water supply.
In use the syphon or other receptacle which it is desired to clean or fill is placed
with its mouth or nozzle over the tube A and pressed down when a stream of water
will be thrown up into it; upon the removal of the pressure the valve closes
itself by the action of the spring H assisted by the pressure of the water.
Fig. 1 shows the apparatus in section;
Fig. 2 is a plan of the valve C and
Fire 3 is a section showing the valve pressed down and open.

I, JOHN POCOCK Garth Bangor North Wales, Mineral 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:
A device for the purpose of throwing a jet of water up into the nozzles of
aerated water syphons in order to wash away the dirts which accumulates in the
same while empty and which would otherwise be forced into the interior of the
syphons when they are filled with aerated water, also for the purpose of rinsing out

page_text: the interior of the syphon or any other similar receptacle or for rinsing out any
small tube or orifice or the same device may be used for filling syphons with
aerated water.
The apparatus may be attached to the ordinary water supply or to the cylinder
usually employed for mixing the gas and water in a mineral water factory.
I now refer to the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification in which :-
Figure 1. shows the apparatus in section.
Figure 2. is a plan of the valve.
Figure 3. is a section showing the valve pressed down and open.
-
The apparatus consists of a tube A through which water is thrown into the
nozzle of the syphon or other receptacle either automatically by the valve C to be
after described and which, as applied to this purpose, is claimed as part of the
invention, or by the ordinary tap B, the tube A is solid at its lower end but opens
by one or more openings sideways and it may carry at its lower end the valve C
working in the cylinder D which cylinder is provided with a plate or flange or
other convenient means of bolting or screwing it to a firm support as shown at E;
the tube A works through a stuffing box F and to it is attached the shield G,
which may be round or of any other convenient shape, to prevent the waste water
spreading, said shield being provided at the back with one or more holes for the
purpose of carrying away the waste water.
The valve is kept in position by the spiral spring H. The shaded portions in
the drawing are washers of leather, rubber or other similar material and the
cylinder carries at its lower end an ordinary union for attachment to the water
supply. In use the syphon or other receptacle which it is desired to clean or fill is
placed with its mouth or nozzle over the tube A and pressed down, when a stream
of water will be thrown up into it; upon the removal of the pressure the valve closes
itself by the action of the spring H assisted by the pressure of the water.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The improved nozzle constructed substantially as herein described and
illustrated by the annexed drawings.
