PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for the Discharge of Gases Stored
under Pressure.
GEORGE VINCENT 149 Gt. Portland Street W. Housekeeper do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An apparatus for simplifying the conversion and discharge of nitrous oxide
gas (NO) from a liquid to a gaseous condition for the purposes of inhalation also for
similarly converting and discharging oxygen gas for use in oxyhydrogen lanterns, &c. &c.
also for other gases.
DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION.
The apparatus consists of a flat piece of wood, as a foundation, to lie upon the floor-
Upon this 2 iron or steel bottles, containing the gas in a liquid form, are laid in a
horizontal position, each secured by an enclosing ring, inserted into the flat wooden
stand with a screw above to hold bottle tight-in front of the nozzle of each bottle are two
upright brass supports or brackets, bearing a spindle in line with the said nozzle, the
spindle ending in a loose socket into which the nozzle is to be fitted. Upon the top
of the spindle is placed a roughened foot bracket pedal-piece which when so applied
and moved in a to and fro "direction will revolve the spindle and this, carrying the.
socket in which is fitted the nozzle of the gas bottle, will allow an escape of gas under
the control of the operator-This pedal-piece can be removed from the spindle in
connection with one bottle and easily placed in position upon the spindle of the second
bottle or each can have its own pedal-piece in place.

GEORGE VINCENT 149 Great Portland Street W., Housekeeper 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 :-
This apparatus consists of a flat piece of wood (A) as a foundation, to lie upon the
floor-Upon this 2 iron or steel bottles containing the gas in a liquid form, are laid
in a horizontal position, each secured by an enclosing ring (B) inserted into the flat
wooden stand with a screw (C) above to hold bottle tight-In front of the nozzle of
each bottle are two upright brass supports or brackets (D) bearing a spindle (E)
ending in a loose socket (F) into which the nozzle is to be fitted. Upon the top
of the spindle is placed a roughened foot bracket pedal-piece (G) which when so
applied and moved in a " to and fro "direction will revolve the spindle and this
carrying the socket in which is fitted the nozzle of the gas bottle will allow an
escape of gas under the control of the operator. This pedal-piece can be removed
from the spindle in connection with one bottle and easily placed in position upon
the spindle of the second bottle or each can have its own pedal-piece in place.

page_text: 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 introduction of a pedal which moves in a "to and fro" direction on a horizontal
axis and governs the escape of the gas.
