I AUGUSTE EMILE HENRI LOZE of 513 West Derby Road, Tuebrook, in the County
of Lancaster Aerated Water Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:—
The object is to provide appar atus by means of which water or liquid is impregnated
with gas under pressure and is forced into receptacles without the aid of pumps with
little or no loss of gas and practically without intermission or interruption.
Gas under pressure-usually carbonic acid gas-is obtained from any suitable
generator that will supply the gas sufficiently pure and at the requisite pressure
such as by the admixture of bicarbonate of soda and sulphuric acid in a vessel or
chamber.
Apparatus under my invention consists ossentially in the combination of at least
two cylinders, chambers, or vessels, not less than three being preferred, with pipe and
valve connections so arranged that gas under pressure is admitted from the generator
to any of the cylinders, chambers or vessels at will and from any one cylinder, chamber
or vessel to another, suitable inlet and outlet ways for the liquid to be impregnated
with the gas, being provided for each cylinder, chamber or vessel. The Aerated liquor
is lead from the said cylinders, chambers, or vessels to bottling apparatus of usual or
suitable construction.
A further improvement consists in suspending the cylinders, chambers, or vessels on
trunnions and in carrying the inlet and outlet pipes for gas and liquid through the
said trunnions.

I AUGUSTE EMILE HENRI LOZE of 513 West Derby Road, Tuebrook, in the
county of Lancaster, Aerated Water 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 in and by the following statement:-
The object is to provide apparatus by means of which water or liquid is impregnated
with gas under pressure and is forced into receptacles without the aid of pumps with
little or no loss of gas and practically without intermission or interruption.
Gas under pressure usually carbonic acid gas is obtained from any suitable generator
that will supply the gas sufficiently pure and at the requisite pressure such as by
the admixture of bicarbonate of soda and sulphuric acid and water in a vessel or
chamber.
Apparatus under my invention consists essentially in the combination of at least two
cylinders, chambers or vessels not less than three being preferred with pipe and valve
connections so arranged that gas under pressure is admitted from the generator to any
of the cylinders chambers or vessels at will and from any one cylinder chamber or
vessel to another, suitable inlet and outlet ways for the liquid to be impregnated with
the gas being provided for each cylinder, chamber or vessel. The Aerated liquid is
led from the said cylinders chambers or vessels to bottling apparatus of usual or
suitable construction.
A further improvement consists in suspending the cylinders, chambers or vessels on
trunnions and in carrying the inlet and outlet pipes for gas and liquid through the
said trunnions.

apparatus under my invention.-a. framework of wood, metal or other suitable
material jointed and connected together in any convenient way, b. gas generators
carried on trunnions c. and preferably of copper lined with lead or other substance
unacted on by the acid used, d. run off valves, e. caps held in position by clamps f.,
g. containers for carbonate of soda or like substance, h. rods by which the containers
are suspended. The said rods pass through stuffing boxes in the caps e.,

u, aerating cylinders chambers or vessels preferably of copper-v. draw off
valves w inlet pipes, outlet pipes, y pipes provided with shut off valves in any
convenient position and passing through tho trunnions z. The said pipes lead each to
a separate bottling appliance or two or more of these pipes may be joined and led to
one bottling appliance.

The apparatus is used as follows:-All cocks and valves being closed- -one of the gas

page_text: generators b. is filled to about the height shown with sulphuric acid and water, a
container is filled with bicarbonate of soda or other suitable agent, is drawn by the
rod h. close to cap e and the cap is placed on the container and secured in position by
the clips, the container is then lowered into the acid by degrees as required and
generation of carbonic acid commences—the cock j. communicating with the container
is opened and also the cock k until the air in the container has been expelled by the
carbonic acid. The cock k is then closed and the cock p opened the aerating cylinder
chamber or vessel u having previously been filled with water through the cock v gas is
allowed to be generated until a suitable pressure varying from 50 pounds on the square
inch for stopper'd bottles to 200 pounds on the square inch for syphons has been
obtained. During the aeration of the water in the cylinder, chamber or vessel ., the
said cylinder, chamber or vessel is rotated on its trunnions so as to obtain thorough
admixture of the gas and water. The cylinder chamber or vessel is then left at rest
with the pipes w. x in the position shown and the cock on the pipe y leading to the
bottling machine opened, when nearly the whole of the water has been expelled from
the container the cock leading to the bottling machine and the cock p. are closed. The
cocks r. are then opened and the gas from the chamber or vessel u. is allowed to
enter the chamber or vossel u¹ previously charged with water until the pressure in u.
is reduced about one third. The cock, is then closed and the cock, opened, and
the remaining gas in u. allowed to enter the chamber or vessel u², previously charged
with water until the pressure is again reduced about one third. The cock, is then
closed and the cock opened and the gas in u. is admitted into the chamber or
vessel, containing water and another reduction of pressure about one third is
obtained. The cocks r and r³, are then closed. The cock p', is opened as soon as the
cylinder chamber or vessel u. has been disconnected from u by closing the cock r¹,
and carbonic acid gas from the generator passes directly into the cylinder chamber or
vessel u¹. The cylinder chamber or vessel is again filled with water and the
operations above described are repeated consecutively with each cylinder chamber or
vessel. Whilst gas is being evolved in one generator the other is being prepared
for use.
To exclude air the chambers or vessels are completely filled with water containing
any suitable syrup, flavouring agent or other desirable substance and as the Gas entors
some of the liquid is allowed to flow off by the cocks -It will be evident that the
number of chambers or vessels may be increased or diminished and varied in size and
position and that the pipes and valves may be variously arranged.
Having now particularly described the nature of the said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that whatI claim is :-
First.—The combination of two or more aerating cylinders chambers or vessels with
pipes and valve connecting them to a gas supply under pressure for the purpose set
forth.
Second. Aerating cylinders chambers or vessels carried on trunnions and having
inlet and outlet pipes substantially as set forth.
Third. Aerating apparatus consisting of two or more cylinders chambers or vessels
connected so as to be used successively substantially as set forth.
Fourth. Aerating apparatus constructed and operating substantially as herein set
forth.
