I, FREDERICK EDWARD VESEY BEANES, of 5 Duke Street, Adelphi, in the
County of Middlesex, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
which has been communicated to me from abroad by Edward Beanes, at present
residing at the Hotel Anglais, Menton, in the Republic of France, Ohemist, to be
as follows:-
The object of this Invention is to so treat aërated liquids or beers wines and the
like before they are bottled or enclosed in the receptacles in which they are to be
kept that injurious germs are destroyed before the liquid is bottled and the liquid
is kept from contact with the outer air to prevent its taking up fresh germs. This
is effected by submitting the liquid before bottling to a high temperature in a
closed vessel and taking it therefrom into the bottling machine without allowing it
again to come into contact with the external air. If aëration is to be effected it is
done preferably between the heating and the bottling. An apparatus constructed
according to this Invention for this purpose consists of a closed boiler or vessel
having a casing or jacket. The liquid to be treated is placed in this boiler or
vessel and steam is admitted to. the casing or jacket and the liquid is thereby
heated to say from 180° to 228° Fahrenheit. Cold water is then admitted into
the casing or jacket to cool the liquid, all opening by which access of external air
could be had being closed. The boiler or vessel is provided with a stirrer which
can be operated to facilitate cooling. As soon as the steam is shut off from the
casing or jacket, carbonic acid gas is introduced into the boiler or vessel and a
pressure thereof is maintained so as to ensure the prevention of any access of
external air. The liquid is then led either directly to the bottling machine or it is
passed first into a cylinder or mixer to be charged with carbonic acid gas. In this
case I maintain a pressure of carbonic acid gas in the boiler or vessel superior to

page_text: that in the mixer so as to cause the liquid to flow from the boiler or vessel into
the mixer without contact with external atmospheric air. The bottling may then
be done in the ordinary way but if a return tube from the bottling machine to the
upper part of the mixer be used I place a filter (which may consist of a vessel
containing cotton wool) in this return pipe so as to filter the air and free it from 5
any injurious germs which may be present in the air of the empty bottle or
receptacle so as to avoid contamination of the liquid in the mixer.
The aëration may be effected in the boiler or vessel itself.

I, FREDERICK EDWARD VESEY BEANES late of 5 Duke Street Adelphi in the
County of. Middlesex but at present of 25 Craven Street, Strand in the said
County of Middlesex Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention
which has been communicated to me from abroad by Edward Beanes then residing
at the Hotel Anglais Menton in the Republic of France but at present of Moatlands,
Paddock Wood in the County of Kent, Gentleman and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and-by the
following statement :-
The object of this Invention is to so treat aërated liquids or beers wines and the
like before they are bottled or enclosed in the receptacles in which they are to be
kept that injurious germs are destroyed before the liquid is bottled and the liquid
is kept from contact with the outer air to prevent its taking up fresh germs. This
is effected by submitting the liquid before bottling to a high temperature in a
closed vessel and taking it therefrom into the bottling machine without allowing
it again to come into contact with the external air. If aeration is to be effected it
is done preferably between the heating and the bottling. An apparatus constructed
according to this Invention for this purpose consists of a closed boiler or vessel
having a casing or jacket. The liquid to be treated is placed in this boiler or
vessel and steam is admitted to the casing or jacket and the liquid is thereby
heated to say from 180° to 228° Fahrenheit-Cold water is then admitted into
the casing or jacket to cool the liquid all openings by which access of external air
could be had being closed. The boiler or vessel is provided with a stirrer which
can be operated to facilitate cooling. As soon as the steam is shut off from the
casing or jacket carbonic acid gas is introduced into the boiler or vessel and a
pressure thereof is maintained so as to ensure the prevention of any access of
external air. The liquid is then led either directly to the bottling machine or it is
passed first into a cylinder or mixer to be charged with carbonic acid gas. In this
case I maintain a pressure of carbonic acid gas in the boiler or vessel superior to
that in the mixer so as to cause the liquid to flow from the boiler or vessel into
the mixer without contact with external atmospheric air. The bottling may then
be done in the ordinary way but if a return tube from the bottling machine to the.
upper part of the mixer be used I place a filter (which may consist of a vessel
containing cotton wool or its equivalent) in this return pipe so as to filter the air
and free it from any injurions germs which may be present in the air of the empty
bottle or receptacle so as to avoid contamination of the liquid in the mixer.
The aëration may be effected in the boiler or vessel itself.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is-
1st. The treatment of liquids to destroy germs that may be therein and to
prevent their taking up fresh germs prior to being bottled or enclosed for keeping
by heating them in a closed vessel and conducting them afterwards into the bottles
or receptacles in which they are to be kept external air being excluded by a
pressure of carbonic acid gas being maintained during the whole process or after
the heating has been effected.
2nd. In treating liquids in the manner and for the purpose hereinbefore
described and claimed in apparatus wherein a return tube from the bottling
machine to the upper part of the mixer is used, the use of a filter of cotton wool
or its equivalent in the said return tube such as will filter the air and free it from
injurious germs.
