Commercial Agent do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED LIQUIDS" to be as follows:-
In order to control the drawing off of aerated liquid from what are known as
syphon bottles I fix across the metal cap which is secured on to the top of the
bottle a horizontal partition, through the centre of this partition I pass a short
metal tube and secure it to the partition-The tube is closed at its upper end and
open at its lower end. In the upper part of the tube which is above the partition
is a side opening and into the lower end of the tube is inserted a short length of
vulcanized india rubber tube which is made to extend above. this side opening.
The end of a glass tube is passed and made to fit tightly into the lower end of the
india rubber tube and this glass tube is made to extend down to the bottom of
the bottle. From the upper part of the metal cap a branch tube may be made
to extend to serve as an outlet in the ordinary manner. The cap is also made to
carry a pusher which when pressed inwards bears against the india rubber tube
and presses it away from the rigid tube which is around it and so opens a passage
for the liquid to escape into the upper part of the cap from whence it flows off
through the branch outlet tube.
In place of the rigid tube into which the india rubber tube is inserted as above
mentioned being made to form part of a cap which is secured on to the head of a
bottle in the manner usual with syphon bottles it might form part of a cap made
to lie within and screw into the mouth of a bottle.
In this case the pusher may be a cranked lever jointed to the upper end of the
rigid tube and having one arm extending downwards and curved to enter the hole
in the rigid tube whilst the other arm is made to project out sidewise from the top
of the cap so that it may serve as a thumb piece by pressing upon which the end
of the curved arm may be made to bear against the india rubber tube and press
it inwards to open a passage for the escape of liquid from the bottle. With a cap
formed in this way the bottle has to be inclined downwards when opened. In
order to admit of the bottle being filled in the ordinary manner, the lever arm
which forms the thumb piece may when pressed downwards be made to lie in a
semi-circular recess formed across the top of the cap-the part of the arm which
would then have to lie in the semi-circular recess may be embraced by a tube of
vulcanized india rubber to serve as an elastic packing to close all outlet through
the semi-circular recess at the time when the bottle is being filled.

page_text: I ISING RHEINBERG of 13 Well Street Falcon Square in the City of London
Commercial Agent do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN BOTTLES FOR CONTAINING AERATED LIQUIDS." and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
In order to control the drawing off of aerated liquid from what are known as
syphon bottles I secure a metal cap on to the top of the bottle. The cap I form
with a short descending metal tube closed at its upper end and at its lower end
open to the interior of the bottle. In the upper part of the tube is a side opening
and into the lower end of the tube is inserted a short; length of vulcanized india
rubber tube which is made to extend above this side opening. The end of a glass
tube is passed and made to fit tightly into the lower end of the india rubber tube.
and this glass tube is made to extend down to the bottom of the bottle. From the
upper part of the metal cap a branch tube may be made to extend to serve as an
outlet in the ordinary manner; The cap is also made to carry a pusher which
when pressed inwards bears against the india rubber tube and presses it away from
the rigid tube which is around it and so opens a passage for the liquid to escape
into the upper part of the cap from whence it flows off through the branch outlet
tube.
Figure 1 of the Drawings hereunto annexed shews a side elevation, Figure 2
. a vertical section and Figure 3 a plan view of the upper part of a bottle for
containing aerated liquids constructed in the manner above described.
A is a metal cap secured on to the head B of a bottle. It is shewn to be fixed
to the head of the bottle just in the same way as the metal caps of ordinary syphon
bottles are now commonly secured to them-that is the neck of the bottle just
below the head is embraced by a ring C in two halves and the cap screws on to
these half rings as shown. Other ways of affixing the cap to the top of the bottle
might however be adopted. D is a short metal tube descending into the mouth of
the bottle from the top of the metal cap. E is a short length of india rubber tube
inserted into the tube D. F is a glass tube inserted into the lower end of the
tube E and which extends down to the bottom of the bottle. G is a side opening
in the upper part of the metal tube D. H is a washer interposed between the top of
the bottle B and the upper part of the cap-it serves to make a tight joint between
the cap and the top of the bottle and also serves as a partition to shut off the interior
of the bottle from the interior of the cap. Or the part of the cap which comes just
above the washer might itself form a partition to exclude direct access from the bottle
into the upper part of the cap. I is a branch tube extending from the upper part
of the cap to serve as an outlet. J is another branch tube extending from the
upper part of the cap a pusher K passes through this tube and its end enters the
side opening G in the metal tube D. To prevent the escape of any liquid through
the tube JI preferably embrace the pusher by one end of an elastic tube L of
vulcanized india rubber the opposite end of which is sprung over the exterior of a
plug M which fits within the outer end of the tube J. The plug is held within the
tube by a small screw as shewn.
Other ways than the one shewn may however be adopted for making a tight
joint where the pusher passes out through the cap.
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 :-
First. The combination of the cap A the rigid tube D with side opening G the
elastic tube E with glass or other pipe descending from it to the bottom of the

page_text: bottle and a pusher by which the elastic tube can be pressed inwards away from
the side opening in the rigid tube and so allow liquid to pass from the bottle to
the outlet from the cap substantially as described.
Second. The construction of what are known as syphon bottles for containing
3 aerated liquids substantially in the manner herein before described.
