Improvements in Syphons for Aërated Waters and the like.
I, FREDERICK SHARMAN, of 171, Lower Clapton Road, in the County of London,
Syphon Bottle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention is designed to facilitate repairs and is particularly applicable
to short lever syphons, as hitherto with this class of syphon as heretofore manu-
factured it frequently happens that the bottle is broken when the syphon head
is being taken off for repairs.
According to this invention, 1 so attach the syphon head or a portion thereof.
to the bottle, that it may be unscrewed from a collar connected to the neck of
such bottle, and the valve easily taken out or got at for repair, without any fear
of damaging either the bottle or the syphon head.
According to one way of carrying out this invention I suitably fix a screw
collar on to the neck of the bottle, and into or on to this collar I screw the
syphon head, so that it is simply necessary to unscrew this latter in order to
get at the valve for repairs. I may make the syphon head in two or more parts
screwed together, in order that such parts may easily be detached and the valve
got at and drawn out if desired.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Syphons for Aërated Waters and the like.
I, FREDERICK SHARMAN, of 171, Lower Clapton Road, in the County of London,
Syphon Bottle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention is designed to facilitate repairs and is particularly applicable
to short lever syphons, as hitherto with this class of syphon as heretofore manu-
factured it frequently happens that the bottle is broken when the syphon head
is being taken off for repairs.
According to this invention, I so attach the syphon head or a portion thereof
to the bottle, that it may be unscrewed from a collar connected to the neck of
such bottle, and the valve easily taken out or got at for repair, without any fear
of damaging either the bottle or the syphon head.

page_text: According to one way of carrying out this invention I suitably fix a screw
collar on to the neck of the bottle and into or on to this collar I screw the
syphon head; so that it is simply necessary to unscrew this latter in order to
get at the valve for repairs. I may make the syphon head in two or more parts
screwed together, in order that such parts may easily be detached and the valve
got at and drawn out if desired.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood I will now pro-
ceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing which
shews a sectional elevation of a syphon head secured to the neck of the bottle
according to my invention.
The head of the syphon is shewn in two parts A and B.
The part A contains all the working parts of an ordinary short lever syphon
head. This part has a screw thread cut on it at so as to screw into the part B
which is provided with a corresponding female thread for this purpose. D shews
a washer for ensuring a tight joint.
The part B has at its lower portion another female thread for screwing on.
to the split ring E, which is provided with a thread for this purpose.
The split
ring E is secured to the neck of the bottle in the usual way.
When the fittings are out of order, it is simply necessary to unscrew the part A
when all the parts will be accessible for repair, without the bottle or tube sus-
taining any damage.
By the use of this invention great economy is effected, as syphons may be
filled with greater rapidity and facility than at present.
A free inlet from the
filling machine is secured, as the valve is at all times quite clear of the tube.
There is a great saving of gas amounting to as much as 30% effected, as less
snifting is required and an even quality of water is obtained.

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:
1. In syphons for containing aerated waters and the like, providing the neck
of the bottle and the syphon head with screw threads for the purposes set forth.
2. In syphons for containing aerated waters and the like, making the syphon
head in two parts (or more) screwing together, substantially as set forth.
