Apparatus for the Manufacture of an Aerated Beverage,
I, GEORGE HENDERSON, 4, Newby Terrace, Stockton-on-Tees, Agent do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows.-
The apparatus consists of (1) a vessel with two compartments, each of which has
a seperate intake and outlet (2) A specially designed tap.
It is intended that each compartment of the vessel shall contain a solution,
one of which will be alkaline, the other acidulated
The tap has a connection with each compartment of the vessel by means of
which, each liquid may be diawn simultaneously, and in equal proportions, into
a dunking utensil where they will mingle and produce an aerated beverage.
The tap consists of 1, a faucet with tapeiing hollow through, and perforations
facing each other from two sides slightly thickened 2 A spigot of tapering
shape, having at the head a straight lever handle Two perforations staiting
at the bottom or narrow end of the spigot, are continued about half its length,
and two holes are hored from the outside to meet those seperately and also to
coincide, when fitted, with the two side perforations in the faucet
spigot 18 ground into the faucet, and kopt in position by a screw nut at the
bottom end. When fitted to vessel, one movement of the level handle bungs
into juxtaposition the perforations in the faucet and the spigot, and starts the
flow of each liquid The reverse movement stops the flow

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for the Manufacture of an Aerated Beverage.
1, GEORGE HENDERSON, 4, Newby Terrace, Stockton-on-Tees, Agent do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same 18 to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the follow-
ing statement.-
The apparatus consists of a single vessel, divided into two seperate compart-
ments, or alternately of a pair of seperate vessels Each compartment or each
of the pair of seperate vessels is provided with an opening whereby it may
be charged, and the contents secured by stoppers and each has also a perforation
at the bottom, into which tubes are fitted, forming a means for discharge of the
contents of each compartment or seperate vessel to the tap, which withdiaws
from each seperately and simultaneously.
This invention relates to apparatus for manufacturing aerated beverages, and
Price 8d.】

page_text: the object thereof 18 to provide an apparatus of this class wherein the com-
ponent parts of the beverage may be stored in seperate receptacles and drawn
simultaneously from said receptacles through a single tap, being maintained
seperate, and unmixed during their passage through said tap, and only mixing
when deposited therefrom into a drinking vessel.
My invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts herein-
after described.
In the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification in which
like reference characters denote corresponding parts in the several views: -
Fig 1 is a front elevation, partly cut away to show the interior construction
Fig 2, a transverse section thereof on the line 2-2 of Fig 1, and
Fig. 3, an enlarged sectional view of a portion thereof.
A
In the practice of my invention I provide a closed casing A, having suitable
supports B, and a detachable top C. The casing 18 divided centrally by
an upright partition D, whereby two receptacles are formed, in each of which 18
stored one of the seperate component parts or elements of the complete
beverage
Connected with the casing A, and communicating with each of the receptacles
formed therein by the partition D, 18 a pipe coupling E, and the pipe couplings E
are connected at their outer ends by a tap casing F, which is provided at
either side with a chamber G, and operatively mounted in the tap casing F,
18 & spigot H which 18 provided with two bores I which are seperated by a
cential web J, and the bores I are adapted to be brought into registration with
the chambers G of the tap casing F, by a revolution of the spigot Has is clearly
shown in Figs. 2 and 3 The spigot H is mounted in opeiative position in
the tap casing F by means of a lock nut K
The apparatus 18 to be used as follows:-Each compartment, or each seperate
vessel is to be charged with a liquid solution, one of which will be alkaline, and
the other acidulated
When the spigot H 18 revolved to bring the bores I into registration with
the chambers G in the tap casing, the receptacles in the casing A at either
side of the partition D aie brought into communication with the respective
bores I in the spigot H by means of the respective chambers G and pipe coup-
lings E, and equal quantities of the respective contents of said receptacles will
flow from the respective bores I of the spigot, and into a suitable utensil placed
therebeneath, but said contents will not come together until after escape therof
from the spigot, whereby an effervescent mixture is produced and may be pio-
duced immediately before use.
I do not limit myself to the specific construction and arrangements of parts
of
herein specified, but reserve the right to vary the same within the scope my
invention.
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: -
Novelty in the following features--
1 The mode of storing seperately the elements intended to produce efferves-
cence.
2 The design and construction of the tap.
3 The combination of Nos. 1 and 2, for the purpose, namely the production
of an gcrated beverage
