PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Saturators Employed in the Manufacture of
Aerated Water.
I, THOMAS NEIL CRETNEY of 3 North Road, Longsight, Manchester in the
County of Lancaster, Aerate: Water Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
my said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in saturators employed in the manufacture
of aerated water and consists in means for breaking up the water to thoroughly
mix the same with gas. On the top of a metallic cylinder I fix a compound
nozzle for the purpose of admitting gas and water from a pump or other source,
and of a blow off or safety valve in case of extreme pressure and to empty the
same of gas when necessary. To the underside of the inlet for gas and water of
the compound nozzle is fixed in any convenient manner an inverted cup or chamber
of any desired form provided with a perforated base to which is attached a stem
or spindle. The latter is screwed to receive any desired number of perforated
metallic dishes at convenient distances, each being secured in position on the stem
or spindle by a nut or its equivalent. The perforated dishes and other internal
parts are tinned to prevent contamination. The compound nozzle is provided with
a port or passage to the chamber into which the blow-off or safety valve is secured
or fixed.

Improvements in Saturators Employed in the Manufacture of
Aerated Water.
I, THOMAS NEIL CRETNEY late of 3 North Road, Longsight, Manchester, and
Dow of 53 Cemetery Road, Barnsley in the County of York, Aerated Water
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 relates to improvements in saturators employed in the manufacture
of aerated water and consists in means for breaking up the water to thoroughly
mix the same with gas. On the top of a metallic cylinder I fix a compound
nozzle for the purpose of admitting gas and water from a pump or other source,
and of a blow off or safety valve in case of extreme pressure and to empty the same
of gas when necessary. To the underside of the inlet for gas and water of the
compound nozzle is fixed in any convenient manner an inverted cap or chamber of
any desired form provided with a perforated base to which is attached a stern or

page_text: spindle. The latter is screwed to receive any desired number of perforated
metallic dishes at convenient distances, each being secured in position on the stem
or spindle by a nut or its equivalent. The perforated dishes and other internal
parts are tinned to prevent contamination. The compound nozzle is provided with
a port er passage to the chamber into which the blow-off or safety valve is secured
Fig. is a sectional elevation of my improved saturator employed in the
manufacture of soda water and Fig. 2 is a section of compound nozzle."
A is the cylinder; B compound nozzle; C screwed end for receiving blow-off
or safety valve; D inverted cup; E stem or spindle; G and H perforated
dishes; inlet to the cylinder A; J outlet from the latter, anl K the cylinder
bottom.
The cylinder A is composed of suitable metal tinued to prevent contamination
provided at its lower end with the flange L t which is secured the tinned plate M
and metallic bottom K by the bolts N. The top of the cylinder A is provided
with the internally screwed pap O in which is screwed the end P of the compound
nozzle B. This nozzle is provided with the valve face or seat R against which
operates the valve S on the end of the spindle T operated by the hand wheel or
handle U. The spindle T is mounted in the nut V provided with the gland W to
allow of a tight joint being made by means of packing. The compound nozzle B
is provided with the passages Y and Z to allow of the escape of gas-when
required or necessary-by means of the blow-off or safety valve screwed in the
end C. The compound nozzle B is screwed internally at A' to receive the stem B¹
of the inverted cup D provided with the perforated base C. To the latter is
secured the stem or spindle E on which is mounted the perforated metallic
dishes G and H. The said dishes are composed of tinned metal or of block tin
to prevent contamination. The dish H is provided with the stays T' to hold the
aforesaid dishes firmly in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The general arrangement, construction, and combination of parts composing
the improvements in saturators employed in the manufacture of aerated water, as
hereinbelore described and as illustrated in the annexed drawings.
2. In saturators for the indicated purposes and composed of the cylinder A,
compound nozzle B, with means for receiving a blow-off or safety valve aud
passages for allowing of the free action of the same as required, substantially as
described and as illustrated in the drawings.
3. In combination with the saturator cylinder A and the compound nozzle B
and its adjuncts the inverted cup D, stem or spindle E, and the perforated
metallic dishes G and H, substantially as described and as illustrated in the
annexed drawings for the purpose specified.
