PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
mprovements in Apparatus for the Preparation of Aerated Liquids.
I, ETTORE DELBECCHI, of Via Bogino 27, Turin, Kingdom of Italy, Silk Mer-
hant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present invention relates to an improved detachable device, applicable to
rdinary syphon bottles, for the instantaneous preparation of seltzer water and
ther gaseous drinks, by means of a steel capsule containing carbonic acid gas
iquefied or compressed under strong pressure.
The apparatus consists essentially of a socket or union which can be rapidly and
tightly attached to the outlet pipe of the bottle by screwing it on or in a
screwed portion provided either on the outside or on the inside of the outlet tube,
and a hollow cover which can be screwed on the union, and which is suitably
formed to hold a capsule made of steel or of other suitable metal, charged with
the compressed carbonic acid gas.
The union of say white metal is provided in the interior with a point of steel
or of other suitable hard metal, provided with a longitudinal groove which com-
municates with a passage in the union piece which in its turn communicates with
the interior of the outlet pipe of the bottle. A washer of caoutchouc or other
suitable packing material is so arranged in the interior of part as to form a her-
metically closing seating for the capsule.
The apparatus is connected with the bottle in the following manner: The
union is screwed on the outlet pipe of the syphon bottle containing the liquid
which it is intended to saturate with gas. The capsule is then placed in the cap
The valve of the syphon
and the latter is then lightly screwed on the union.
device is then opened by pressing down the lever after which the cap is tightly
screwed up on the union. Owing to this movement the capsule is forced against
the pin which pierces it whereupon the gas escapes through the groove and passes
by way of the passage and outlet pipe into the interior of the bottle, where it is
taken up by the liquid. When the liquid is fully saturated with the gas the
lever is released, the valve thereupon closes and the apparatus may now be
detached from the bottle.
The advantages which this apparatus has over other devices which are per-
manently fixed on the bottles containing the liquid to be saturated, are
follows:-
as
1. A single apparatus will serve to prepare easily and rapidly any number of
bottles of gaseous liquid.
2. The bottles separated from the apparatus are more easily handled and more
convenient for use.
3. When the prepared liquid is to be kept for some time the risk of the capsule,
by getting rusty, spoiling the liquid, is avoided.

I, ETTORE DELBECCHI, of Via Bogino 27, Turin, Kingdom of Italy, Silk Mer-
chant, 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 present invention relates to an improved detachable device, applicable to
ordinary syphon bottles, for the instantaneous preparation of seltzer water and
other gaseous drinks, by means of a steel capsule containing carbonic acid gas
liquefied or compressed under strong pressure.
In the accompanying drawing the apparatus is represented as detached from the
outlet D of the head C of a syphon bottle of ordinary construction. It consists
essentially of a socket or union A which can be rapidly and tightly attached to
the outlet pipe D of the bottle by screwing it on or in a screwed portion V pro-
vided either on the outside or on the inside of the outlet tube, and a hollow
cover B which can be screwed on the union A, and which is suitably formed to
hold a capsule L made of steel or of other suitable metal, charged with the com-
pressed carbonic acid gas.
The union A of, say white metal, is provided in the interior with a point E
of steel or of other suitable hard metal, provided with a longitudinal groove H
which communicates with a passage F which in its turn communicates with the
interior of the outlet pipe D of the bottle. A washer G of caoutchouc or other
suitable packing material is so arranged in the interior of part A as to form a
hermetically closing seating for the capsule L.
The apparatus is connected with the bottle in the following manner:-
The union A is screwed on the outlet pipe D of the syphon bottle containing the
liquid which it is intended to saturate with gas. The capsule L is then placed
in the cap B and the latter is then lightly screwed on the union A. The valve
of the syphon device is then opened by pressing down the lever S, after which the
cap B is tightly screwed up on the union A. Owing to this movement the cap-
sule L is forced against the pin E which pierces it whereupon the gas escapes
through the groove H and passes by way of the passage and outlet pipe D
into the interior of the bottle, where it is taken up by the liquid. When the
liquid is fully saturated with the gas the lever S is released, the valve thereupon
closes and the apparatus may now be detached from the bottle
The advantages which this apparatus has over other devices which are per-
manently fixed on the bottles containing the liquid to be saturated, are
follows:-
as
1. A single apparatus will serve to prepare easily and rapidly any number of
bottles of gaseous liquid.
2. The bottles separated from the apparatus are more easily handled and more
convenient for use.
3. When the prepared liquid is to be kept for some time the risk of the capsule,
by getting rusty, spoiling the liquid, is avoided.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:'
1. A detachable device capable of being applied to syphon bottles of ordinary
construction for the purpose of instantly and directly producing gaseous beverages
in the bottle comprising an outwardly closable holder for a capsule containing

page_text: liquefied or compressed gas and means for liberating the gas, substantially as
described,
2. A detachable device of the kind described provided with means for piercing a
capsule containing compressed gas substantially as described.
3. The complete detachable device for syphon bottles substantially as described
or illustrated in the accompanying drawings
