Improvements in and Connected with Certain Aerated Alcoholic
Beverages or Drinks.
JOHN RICHARDSON, of the "Exchange Stores" Parliament Street, and Mincing
Lane, Harrogate in the County of York, Wine and Spirit Merchant, Dealer and
Retailer also manufacturer of Aerated Beverages, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :-
This invention has for its object "Improvements in the process, and manufacture,
bottling, and Vending Aerated Alcoholic Beverages," whereby certain popular drinks,
composed of Wines, Spirits, Liqueurs, Syrups, and Cordials, mixed with Aerated or
Carbonated filtered Water, are compounded, Aerated, Bottled, and Labelled, in a
complete manner ready for sale or consumption-whereas these drinks have hitherto
been served to the trade, or to the consumer in their separate state, and so mixed in a
tumbler at the time of consumption. For this purpose having determined the kind,
quality, and strength of the Wine, Spirit, or Liqueur, intended to form the basis of
the Beverage, and having regard to the capacity of the Bottles, or Syphons intended
to be used, and also as to the desired strength of the finished Beverage.
Suppose it is intended to produce the variety known as "Brandy and Soda," the
determined proportions of the Spirit is mixed with a prepared solution of Bi-carbonate
of Soda, and filtered spring water; and then charged with Carbonic Acid Gas, under
great agitation, at low temperature in a high-pressure cylinder, and thus Bottled and
Labelled ready for sale or consumption.
The same result may be thus accomplished the determined quantity of the Spirit is
passed through an Automatic Measuring Apparatus into the Bottle, which is held in
position in the filling machine, whilst the Aerated Solution is forced into the Bottle at
high-pressure, and then hermetically sealed and Labelled accordingly, and so on in
like manner, with every other variety, of Wine, Spirit, Liqueur, Syrup, or Cordial,
desired to be so compounded, Aerated, Bottled, and Labelled, ready for sale or
consumption, each distinct Variety of Beverage is intended to be protected by
L

Water"
"Gin and Seltzer Water" " Sherry and Lemonade" and the like, in
accordance with the Adulteration of Food and Drugs Act 1875-also a copy of the
Inventor's Signature, and a consecutively numbered label, as the only guarantee of
genuineness; the greatest skill and experience is to be exercised, in the selection
and purchase in the best markets of thoroughly matured Wines, and Spirits, also the
limit and proportions of the several ingredients, and with the aid of the best
known and most approved machinery, this new departure and bottling process,
ensures an uniformity and popularity hitherto unattained.
These Aerated Alcoholic Beverages, are distinguished by the name of "Spirituous
Quench Varieties" which has been duly registered under the Trade Marks
Act 1883 are specially prepared as before described, and form a great variety
composed of Wines, Spirits, Liqueurs, Syrups, or Cordials, mixed with Aerated or
Carbonated filtered Spring Water, and Bottled and Labelled ready for sale or
consumption, they are so stored in hermetically sealed syphons, patent stoppered
or corked bottles by John Richardson, the true and first inventor, of this distinctive
mode of supply, he being a fully Licensed Victualler, Dealer in Spirits, and
Manufacturer of Aerated Beverages, and is consequently Legally entitled to make,
deal, and retail, these "Spirituous Quench Varieties" and is prepared to appoint duly
qualified agents, for the sale hereof who must be the holders of Inland Revenue
Licenses, for sale on or off the premises.
This new mode of supply, will afford increased facility to the Trade-security to
the Inland Revenue-and a genuine article to the consumer, with a more convenient
form of administration, and which when fully developed, will open out a new branch
of Industry and Commerce.

Improvements in and Connected with Certain Aerated Alcoholic
Beverages or Drinks.
I, JOHN RICHARDSON of the "Exchange Stores," Parliament Street, and Mincing
Lane, Harrogate, in the County of York, Wine, and Spirit Merchant, Dealer, and
Retailer, also Manufacturer of Aerated Beverages, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Whereby certain popular drinks, composed of Wines, Spirits, Liqueurs, Syrups,
and Cordials, mixed with Aerated or Carbonated filtered water, are compounded,
Aerated, Bottled, and Labelled, in a complete manner ready for sale or consumption
Whereas, these drinks, have hitherto been served to the trade, or to the consumer,
in their separate state, and so mixed in a tumbler at the time of consumption, and thus
bearing two profits against the purchaser.
For this purpose, having determined the kind, quality, and strength, of the Wine,
Spirit, or Liqueur, intended to form the basis of the Beverage, and having regard to
the capacity of the Bottles, or Syphons, intended to be filled, and also as to the
desired strength, or specific gravity, of the finished Beverage.
Suppose it is intended, to produce the variety popularly known as "Brandy and
Soda
or by abbreviation B. & S., the determined proportion, of the Spirit is mixed
with a prepared solution of Bi-carbonate of Soda, and filtered spring water; and then
charged with Carbonic Acid Gas, under great agitation, at low temperature, in a high
pressure cylinder of an ordinary Soda Water Machine, and so bottled, and labelled
ready for sale or consumption.
The same result, may also be thus accomplished, the determined quantity of the
Spirit is passed through an automatic measuring apparatus; or other measure, into
the bottle or Syphon, intended to hold the finished Beverage, this vessel is then filled,
as above described, with the Aerated Solution from the Cylinder in the ordinary
manner, and then hermetically sealed, and labelled, according to its kind, or variety,
and so on in like manner, with every other variety of Wine, Spirit, Liqueur, Syrup,
or Cordial, desired to be so compounded, aerated, bottled, and labelled, ready for sale
or consumption.

Each distinct variety of Beverage, is intended to be protected by a descriptive label,
as for instance Brandy and Soda Water," Whisky and Potass Water," "Gin and
Seltzer Water," ::
Cherry Brandy and Soda Water," Sherry and Lemonade," and
the like, in accordance with the Adulteration of Food and Drugs Act 1875, as also
copy of the inventor's signature, and a consecutively numbered label, as the only
guarantee of genuineness.
The greatest skill and experience, is to be exercised in the selection, and purchase
in the best markets, of thoroughly matured Wines, Spirits, Liqueurs, Syrups, or
Cordials, and also the limit and proportions, of the several ingredients, and with the

page_text: aid of the best known and most approved machinery, this new departure, and
bottling process, ensures an uniformity, and popularity, hitherto unattained-
whilst the preservation of the Beverage is secured by the impregnation therewith,
of the Carbonic Acid Gas, otherwise diluted spirits and water, are soon liable to
become insipid.
These aerated Alcoholic Beverages, are distinguished by the name of "Spirituous
Quench Varieties," which has been duly registered under the Trade Marks Act 1883-
are specially prepared, as before described, and form a great variety of Beverages,
composed of Wines, Spirits, Liqueurs, Syrups, or Cordials, mixed with Aerated or
Carbonated filtered Spring Water, and bottled, and labelled ready for sale or
consumption they are stored in hermetically sealed syphons, patent stoppered,
or corked bottles, by John Richardson the true and first inventor, of this distinctive
mode of supply, he being a fully Licensed Victualler, Dealer in Spirits, and
Manufacturer of Aerated Beverages; and is consequently legally entitled, to make,
deal, and retail, these "Spirituous, Quench Varieties," and he is prepared, to appoint
duly qualified agents, for the sale thereof, who must be the holders of Inland Revenue
Licenses, for sale on or off the premises."
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature, of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what
I claim is
1. The process of manufacturing Alcoholic Beverages, as herein described.
2. The manner of selling or supplying to the trade, or consumer, the finished
Beverages, ready for consumption.
3. Utilization of existing trade appliances, machinery, and materials, in manner
herein described, to cheapen production and expedite the sale.
