Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for the Discharge
of Aërated Liquids.
I, FREDERICK WALTER, of 47 Hassett Road, Homerton, in the County of Middlesex,
Mechanical draughtsman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved method for the discharge of aërated liquids
from their storage vessels, and in apparatus therefor, by which the aërated liquid can
be delivered into an open vessel, with the least waste of the effervescing gas in the
said liquid during such discharge, and consequently with a maximum aëration of the
drawn off liquid.
It may be observed, where the pressure of the gaseous charge of an aurated liquid
is itself utilised to cause the violent discharge of the said liquid from its storage
receptacle into an open vessel that the effervescing effect of the charging gas is used
up during the period of discharge into the open vessel, the discharged liquid being
consequently noticeably flat after such delivery.
To avoid this disadvantage I may apply my improved method of discharge and
apparatus therefor, either to vessels such as those called "syphon bottles," containing
aërated water at pressure, or to the fountains or taps on bars and such like places,
from which aërated liquids are drawn off from a receptacle under gaseous pressure.
My apparatus consists of a mouth-piece fitted to the issuing nozzle of either such
vessels as the syphon bottles" above described, or to the discharge nozzles of
fountains or taps on bars.
The said mouth-piece is so constructed and of such a form, that the mouth of the
open vessel, into which the aërated liquid is to be discharged, will, by suitable pressure,
make an air-tight joint thereon. This may be effected in many ways. An india-
rubber washer can be conveniently applied to the said mouth-piece, to enable an air
tight joint to be made between the said mouth piece and vessel. The pressure to effect
the said air tight joint may be supplied either by the direct pressure of the hand of
the operator, or by a male and female screw in the mouth of the vessel and on the

page_text: mouth-piece respectively, or by the pressure of a spring rest or lever upon which the
open vessel is placed under the said mouth piece to receive the aërated liquid.
The open vessel receiving the aërated liquid may be of any convenient form, either
an ordinary drinking vessel or a receptive vessel constructed with a narrow mouth,
especially for the purpose, and from which the aërated liquid can be quietly poured
into any drinking vessel.
My method of discharge then, by the aforesaid apparatus, is to receive the aërated
liquid, from the storage vessel under pressure into an open receptive vessel, the mouth
of which is temporarily closed during the process of discharge. The discharge then
soon produces equilibrium of pressure between the receptive and storage vessels, thus
reducing the loss of aeration during discharge to a minimum. When the receptive
vessel has thus received the liquid in a high state of aëration, the vessel is quietly
removed from the mouth-piece, and the liquid is ready for drinking in a highly
offervescent condition.

Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for the Discharge
of Aërated Liquids.
•
I, FREDERICK WALTER, of 47 Hassett Road, Homerton, in the County of Middlesex,
Mechanical Draughtsman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved method for the discharge of aërated liquids
from their storage vessels and in apparatus therefor, by which the aërated liquid can
be delivered into an open vessel, with the least waste of the effervescing gas in the said
liquid during such discharge, and consequently with a maximum aëration of the drawn
off liquid.
It may be observed that where the pressure of the gaseous charge of an aërated
liquid is itself utilized to cause the violent discharge of the said liquid from its storage
receptaclo into an open vessel that the effervescing effect of the charging gas is used
up during the period of discharge into the open vessel, the discharged liquid being
consequently noticeably flat after such delivery.
To avoid this disadvantage I may apply my improved method of discharge and
apparatus therefor either to vessels such as those called "syphon bottles" containing
aurated water at pressure, or to the fountains or taps (American Fountains) on bars
and such like places, from which aërated liquids are drawn off from a receptacle under
gaseous pressure.
My apparatus consists of a mouthpiece fitted to the issuing nozzle of either such.
vessels as the "syphon bottles" above described or to the discharge nozzles of fountains
or taps on bars.
The said mouthpiece is so constructed, and of such a form, that the mouth of the
open vessel, into which the aurated liquid is to be discharged, will, by suitable pressure
make an air tight joint thereon. This may be effected in many ways. An india-
rubber washer can be conveniently applied to the said mouthpiece, to enable an air
tight joint to be made between the said mouth-piece and vessel. The pressure to effect
the said air tight joint may be supplied either by the direct pressure of the hand or
foot of the operator, or by a male and female screw in the mouth of the vessel and on
the mouth-piece respectively, or by the pressure of a spring rest or lever upon which
the open vessel is placed under the said mouth-piece to receive the aërated liquid.
The open vessel receiving the aërated liquid may be of any convenient form, either
an ordinary drinking vessel or a receptive vessel constructed with a narrow mouth
especially for the purpose of glass or metal, and from which the aërated liquid can be
quietly poured into any drinking vessel.
My method of discharge then, by the aforesaid apparatus, is to receive the aërated
liquid from the storage vessel under pressure, into an open receptive vessel, the mouth
of which is temporarily closed during the process of discharge. The discharge then

page_text: soon produces equilibrium of pressure between the receptive and storage vessels thus
reducing the loss of aëration during discharge to a minimum. When the receptive
vossel has thus received the liquid in a high state of aëration, the vessel is quietly
removed from the mouth picco, and the liquid is ready for drinking in a highly
effervescent condition.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I now proceed to illustrate
the same on the accompanying sheet of drawings. Like letters refer to like parts
throughout the drawings.
Figure 1 shows my invention applied to a syphon.
Figure 2 applied to a fountain.
Figure 3 as a permanent attachment to a syphon or vessel containing aerated
water.
Figure 4 as a permanent attachment to a fountain.
In figure 1, A is the syphon, C is the tap discharge at C, where a joint is formed,
upon which the receiving vessel B engages, and when filled with liquor can be taken
off and the liquid poured into the drinking vessel.
In figure 2 A is the reservoir of aerated liquid communicating with a fountain upon
a bar F, with alternative dischargos C, the vessel B being suitably mounted upon a
foot plate operated by means of the pedals G.
In figure 3, A is the symphon or vessel containing aerated liquid communicating
by a tube with the permanently attached vessel B. Upon opening the pressure cock
I the aërated liquor ascends into the smaller vessel B. The cock D is then shut off,
as also the cock H, when the liquid is allowed to be withdrawn through the tap C.
The same operation is performed in figure 4 in the usual fountain and the alternative
cocks CD are respectively opened and closed by the same movement.
In place of discharging into an open vessel from the permanently attached receivers B
I may use this as an intermediary chamber discharging through the cock C into a
vessel as before described in respect of figures 1 and 2.
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 :-
1st. The combination with a vessel containing aerated liquid of a detachably attached
receiving vessel, receiving the liquid in a highly aerated condition and so delivering
it, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2nd. The combination with a receiving vessel of a permanently attached intermediary
chamber, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
