IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CON- STRUCTION OF APPARATUS FOR FILLING AND SYRUPING ARTIFICIAL, MINERAL, AND AERATED BEVERAGES
Year: 1884

page_text: We, JOHN HENRY GALLOWAY, and JAMES WILLIAM GALLOWAY, both of
100 Bark Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Aërated Water Engineers,
do hereby declare the nature of our Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CON-
STRUCTION OF APPARATUS FOR FILLING AND SYRUPING ARTIFICIAL, MINERAL,
AND AERATED BEVERAGES," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to improvements in machines well-known as turn-over or
turn-round Filling machines used for bottling aërated beverages, such as, Soda
Water, Lemonade, Gingerbeer, and so forth, for which provisional protection was
granted to us bearing date the 11th February 1884, No 3063, and for which also we
filed a Complete Specification and Drawings on the 4th November 1884, and consists
principally in providing a spiral guide or worm in the outlet for receiving the mouth
of the bottle, for the purpose of facilitating the operation of filling bottles in an
upright position and discharging the air from the bottles with as little hindrance as
possible to the admittance of aërated water and syrup.
In order that our Invention may be readily understood and carried into operation,
we will now proceed to describe the annexed sheet of drawings, reference being
made to the figures and letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of the chamber on the end of the revolving arm for
receiving the mouth of the bottle, shewing the pap and guide or worm in section ;
Fig. 2 is a part sectional elevation of the aforesaid chamber shewing the outer view
of the pap and guide or worm; and Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 1.
On the end of the revolving arm C in Fig. 1 is fixed the end D in which the
bottle neck sits when being filled. The aërated water and syrup are supplied in
the usual way through the openings H, K, and N or their equivalents to the.
opening L, which is covered by the mouth of the bottle. In the opening L is fixed
the circular pap X provided with the hole or thoroughfare R. to the sniff valve, or
by pipes or other equivalents according to the class of filling machine to which it
may be applied.
In filling bottles in an upright position it is necessary the air from the bottles
should be got away with as little hindrance as possible to the admittance of aërated
water and syrup. To effect this perfectly we admit them into the bottle in a spiral

outlet L. The bottom end of the spiral guide or worm V sits in close proximity to
the outlets K and N, which directs the aërated water and syrup in a spiral form,
which, by pressure, is whirled round the side of the bottle. in like manner, thus
forming a centre passage to allow the air to ascend in a direct line with the outlet R
in the pap X, or other equivalents to the sniff valve.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
The use and construction of the spiral guide or worm V placed in the outlet L in
turn-over or turn-round filling machines employed for bottling aërated waters,
substantially as described and shewn.
