Improvements in Syphon Jars or Bottles
Year: 1897

page_text: I, THOMAS GLOSSOP, of Ashtree House, New Brampton, near Chesterfield, in the
County of Derby, Potter, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has reference to the improved construction of syphon jars or bottles,
of earthenware or glass, and more particularly to jars or bottles of earthenware
intended to hold one or two gallons of ginger beer or other like gaseous beverages,
so as to enable small quantities to be drawn without permitting the escape of
the gas.
In applying my invention to an earthenware jar or bottle to hold a gallon for
example, I make the neck of the vessel with a screwthread to receive a screwthreaded.
stopper, provided with an elastic washer by which the escape of gas from the neck
is effectually prevented.
I construct down one side of the bottle or jar and of the same earthenware as the
bottle a vertical tube or tubular passage opening into the interior of the bottle or
jar near the bottom, and having an enlarged opening on the shoulder of the bottle
preferably constructed to receive and hold the screwed end of a common tap, or
prepared to hold a wooden spigot from which the contents may be drawn by the
pressure of the gas in the upper part of the bottle.
In bottles or jars made according to my invention the syphon pipe is not separate,
but forms a portion of the body of the vessel.

Improvements in Syphon Jars or Bottles.
I, THOMAS GLOSSOP, of Ashtree House, New Brampton, near Chesterfield, in the
County of Derby, Potter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same has to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:—
My invention has reference to the construction of syphon jars or bottles of
earthenware or glass, and more particularly to jars or bottles made of earthenware
intended to hold one or more gallons of ginger beer, or other like effervescing or

permitting the escape of the gas.
The annexed sheet of drawings illustrates my invention applied to such a jar
or bottle.

Fig. 1 is an elevation of a bottle, part being shown in section.
Fig. 2, transverse section of same through the -line xx.
In making a bottle such as the one illustrated-I prefer to make the neck of the
vessel with an internal screw thread, and a screw stopper A, to correspond there-
with, but other stoppers may be used if desired, but in all cases either by the
use of an elastic washer or by other means, the stopper must effectually prevent
any escape of gas from the interior of the bottle.
Within the thickness of the earthenware of one side of the bottle, I construct a
vertical passage B, having at or near the bottom an opening C, communicating
with the interior D, and having at the top an enlarged outlet E, preferably made
to receive the screwed end of an ordinary tap F, or it may be made to hold a wooden
spigot as preferred, from either of which the contents of the bottle may be drawn,
the liquid being forced through the passage B, by the pressure of the gas in the
upper part of the bottle..

It must therefore be understood. that my invention does not include the appli-.
cation of a separate pipe of the same or of other material to a bottle, but in forming
the passage in the substance of the body of the bottle in the manner described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is:
1. A syphon jar or bottle, having a tubular passage from the lower part of its
interior to the upper part of its exterior, formed in the thickness of its side wall
for the purpose specified and substantially as described.
2. A syphon jar or bottle, constructed as herein before described and set forth.
