Improvements in Stoppers for Syphons and Bottles for Containing
Aerated Liquids.
I, PIERRE DELORME, Junior, of 23 Allée de Tourny, Bordeaux, in the Republic
of France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to provide a stopper suitable for syphons and
bottles for containing aerated liquid, in which the liquid shall at no time come into
contact with metallic parts.
a seat or

lower part of the body is a cavity from which extends a passage open to the outer
face of the stopper and containing a piston or rod the head of which projects beyond
the outer face of the stopper to be pressed in by hand, being held protruded by a
spring bearing on a washer surrounding the piston or rod and lying on
flange in the passage. The rod carries at its inner end a closing disc or washer to
close the inner end of the passage when the rod is protruded by the spring. From
this passage branches a second passage leading to the face of the stopper its direction
being that most suitable for the outflow of the liquid being directed upward for an
ordinary bottle stopper or downward for a syphon stopper.
Through this second passage the liquid flows out when the piston or rod is
depressed.
For a syphon, the syphon tube is fitted into the cavity in the base of the stopper
and held tightly therein by an elastic washer or packing ring.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoppers for Syphons and Bottles for Containing
Aerated Liquids.
I, PIERRE DELORME, Junior, of 23 Allée de Tourny, Bordeaux, in the Republic
oi France, 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
.n and by the following statement :---
The syphon head or bottle stopper for aerated water hereinafter described and
represented in the accompanying drawing is principally distinguished by the
material of which it is made, which does not allow of the use of the ordinary method
of fixing.
Fig. 1 is an outside elevation of the new stopper.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line bb Fig. 1 of the stopper when closed.
Fig. 3 is a cross section of the stopper.
Fig. 4 is an elevation of a non-metallic syphon stopper.
Fig. 5 is a vertical section on line cc Fig. 4.
The stopper A is fixed onto the receiver C by means of the metal screw ring M
engaging with the collar L or it may be screwed in, cemented in or fixed in any
suitable fashion.
A is a non-metallic stopper of wood, ivory, or porcelain having in its base a
central hole or cavity D from which the passage E' leads to the outer face of the
ID 617

page_text: stopper. The passage E leads also from the passage E to the outer face of the
stopper so that the liquid can pass through the opening E when the latter is put in
communication with the cavity D by operating the piston F, Figs. 2, 3, and 5.
The piston Foccupies the passage E¹ and is provided in its interior with a
washer I to close the receiver or vessel hermetically and to prevent the gas from
escaping.
Underneath the head of this piston is a spring G, pressing it continually into its
closing position (Figs. 2 and 5) an elastic washer H prevents the liquid from
escaping through any other opening except the opening E.
An elastic washer B is also placed between the stopper A and the receiver C.
The direction of the passage E depends upon the position to be given to the bottle
or receiver when the liquid is poured out.
Figs. 4 and 5 represent the arrangement of the stopper intended for use with
syphons for allowing an outflow without moving the vessel from its usual standing
position.
The syphon tube R is fixed in the cavity D of the stopper A by means of the
elastic washer or filling piece B¹.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination with a bottle of a valve stopper constructed throughout of a
non-metallic material substantially as set forth.
