other Liquids which Require Saturation with Soluble Gases.
.
We, HOWARD LANE, of 115 Palmerston Buildings, Old Broad Street, in the City
of London Engineer, and MAURICE DELMARD of 11 Victoria Road Old Charlton
Kent do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as follows :-
Whereas in the manufacture of what is known as aerated waters, it has hitherto
been the practice to mix the soluble gas, such as carbonic acid gas, with the liquid
to be aërated, in a gaseous state, under moderate pressure and agitate them together.
Our improvements consist in placing the liquid to be aërated in a vessel of
sufficient strength to bear a very high internal pressure, and then injecting the gas,
in a liquified state, into such vessel. The two liquids then mix together, and the
desired object is effected without requiring to be agitated.
The process may be made intermittent or continuous, and the use of agitators
pumps and complicated machinery, is entirely dispensed with.
Our invention is applicable to all analogous operations where fluids require to be
mixed.

We HOWARD LANE, of 115 Palmerston Buildings, Old Broad Street, in the City
of London, Engineer, and MAURICE DELMARD, of 11 Victoria Road Old Charlton
Kent, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
Whereas in the manufacture of what is known as aërated waters, it has hitherto
been the practice to mix the soluble gas, such as carbonic acid gas, with the liquid
to be aërated, in a gaseous state, under moderate pressure, and agitate them together.
- Our improvements consist in placing the liquid to be aërated in a vessel of
sufficient strength to bear a very high internal pressure, and then injecting the gas,
in a liquified state, into such vessel. The two liquids then mix together, and the
desired object is effected without requiring to be agitated.
The process may be made intermittent or continuous, and the use of agitators,
pumps, and complicated machinery, is entirely dispensed with.
Our invention is applicable to all analogous operations where fluids require to be
mixed.
And in order that our said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1. is an elevation, partly in section, of a Steel vessel, lined with enamel, into
which we pour the liquid to be saturated with C. 0% Fig. 2 shows the method of
connecting the vessel d containing the liquified carbonic acid gas with the vessel a ;
and Fig. 3. shows the apparatus ready to supply the aërated liquid.
The vessel a is formed with an additional inverted neck b, which provides an annular
air space c above the surface of the liquid, when the vessel is filled at atmospheric
pressure.
After filling the vessel a with suitably prepared liquids, or with water, as shown
in Fig. 1, the vessel d, containing the liquified carbonic acid gas, is coupled to the
vessel a, whereby the liquid in the vessel a becomes saturated, and the space c. c.
becomes filled with carbonic acid gas, in a-liquified; or partially expanded state.
Fig. 3. shows the apparatus ready for supplying the aërated liquid. After being
charged and disconnected from the vessel d, it is inverted and fitted with the syphon e,
and mounted on a stand k. h. i are screwed caps, fitted with screw valves ƒ. g, for
regulating the flow of the liquids.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In the manufacture of soda water, lemonade, and other liquids which require
saturation with soluble gases, the application and use of the steel vessel a, lined
with enamel, having an inverted neck b for providing an annular space c for the
reception of compressed or liquified gases, substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the drawings.
2. In the manufacture of liquids as aforesaid, the method of charging such liquids
by means of liquified gas, substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by
the drawings.
