PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Syphon Bottles.
IDRIS & Co. LIMITED of Pratt Street Camden Town in the County of
Middlesex Mineral Water Manufacturers and Manufacturing Chemists and
THOMAS HOWELL WILLIAMS IDRIS of the same place Mineral Water Manu-
facturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The invention consists of an improved form of syphon head in which the whole
of the parts which come into contact with the contents of the syphon bottle are
constructed of non-metallic material and in such a form that the head is nearly all
in one piece of porcelain glass or other suitable non-metallic material and that the
usual screw cap at the top of the syphon head can be dispensed with.
The neck of the syphon bottle where breakage frequently takes place can be
shortened and protected by being nearly if not entirely covered by the head.
The syphon head is approximately of the ordinary shape but the spring can be
put in from below as likewise the piston.
The head can be usefully fixed on to the syphon by means of a metal ring
containing a female screw it being desirable that such metal ring should be cast or
contracted on to the porcelain glass or other non-metallic material which can be
left unglazed or roughened or have small recesses at its lower end to give the ring
a better hold.
Instead of the ordinary split ring having the corresponding male screw thereon
being put round the neck of the vase and being recessed as ordinarily the case to go
over the lip or rim round the mouth it is preferable to put such split ring below
such lip or rim and in fact just above the shoulder of the vase the interior of the
split ring being made slightly conical for that purpose so that when the head
is screwed on the neck of the vase is practically covered and protected from
breakage.
The accompanying drawing gives a rough illustration of the invention but is
not intended to give an exact representation thereof or to confine the invention to
the particular form of closure or other details there indicated.
Dated this 23rd day of August 1893.

Improvements in the Construction of Syphon Bottles.
IDRIS & Co. LIMITED of Pratt Street Camden Town in the County of
Middlesex Mineral Water Manufacturers and Manufacturing Chemists and
THOMAS HOWELL WILLIAMS IDRIS of the same place Mineral Water Manu-
facturer, 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 :-
The invention consists of an improved form of syphon head in which the whole
of the parts which come into contact with the contents of the syphon bottle are
constructed of non-metallic material and in such a form that the head is nearly all
in one piece of porcelain glass or other suitable non-metallic material and that the
usual screw cap at the top of the syphon head can be dispensed with. The non-
metallic portion of the head is indicated in the drawing by the letters (a).

page_text: The neck of the syphon bottle or vase where breakage frequently takes place
indicated by the letters (6) in the drawing can be shortened and protected by being
nearly if not entirely covered by the head.
The syphon head is approximately of the ordinary shape but the spring (c) can
be put in from below as likewise the piston (d).
The head can be usefully fixed on the syphon bottle or vase by means of a metal
ring (e) containing a female screw it being desirable that such metal ring should be
cast or contracted on to the porcelain glass or other non-metallic material which
can be left unglazed or roughened or have small recesses at its lower end to give.
the ring a better hold.
Instead of the ordinary split ring (f) having the corresponding male screw
thereon being put round the neck of the bottle or vase and being recessed as
ordinarily the case to go over the lip or rim round the mouth it is preferable to put
such split ring below such lip or rim and in fact just above the shoulder of the
bottle or vase the interior of the split ring being made slightly conical for that
purpose so that when the head is screwed on the neck of the bottle or vase is
practically covered and protected from breakage.
The drawing left with the Provisional Specification gives an illustration of the
invention the lever spring piston and other internal fittings being those of the
ordinary long lever syphon in common use and which are most convenient for use
with this invention. No claim at large is made to effectuating non-metallic
contact in syphon heads the same being the subject matter of several previous
patents.
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
-
The improved form of syphon head constructed in such a form as to be nearly
all in one piece of porcelain glass or other suitable non-metallic material so that
the usual screw cap at the top of the syphon head can be dispensed with and the
neck of the syphon more efficiently protected such head having a metal ring
containing a female screw cast or contracted on to the porcelain glass or other
non-metallic material substantially as hereinbefore described.
