"IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR DRAWING EFFERVESCENT LiQUliDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. H57A33, dated December 1,1874; application tiled May 27, i874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, TnOnAs WARKER, of the city, county, and State of New York, Vhave invented certain new and Improved Apparatus for Drawing Eii'ervescent Liquids, of which the following is a specification:

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which represents a longitudiiial central section thereof. Y

This invention consists in the combination of a cap with a stop-valve, and with a pipe leading to the fountain or vessel from which the liquid is to be drawn, the tubular shank of said cap being made to tit in a socket containing an elastic packiiig-riiig in such a inaniier that, when the vessel which is to be filled is pressed against the cap, the elastic packing-ring is firmly compressed and the stopvalve is raised from its seat, thus allowing the liquid from the fountain to pass into the chamber, B, in which is formed a seat, o, for the valve C, and a spring, b, serves to hold this valve down on its seat.

Said valve is i provided with a tubular stein, c, which is provided with holes d, through which the liquid q escapes when the valve is raised from its seat. i On the lower end of this tubular valve-stein is a screwthread, c, which iits a screw-thread in the interior of a tube, f, which rises from the cap D and extends into-a socket, g, made in the casting, the upper surface of which forms the valve-seat. This socket is provided with a shoulder, h, against which is placed a packiiigaring, i; and the tubular extension f of the cap D bears against this packing-rin g, which is made of india-rubber or other elastic material, so that, when the cap is pressed upward, said packing-ring will be compressed sufficiently 4to allow the valve to rise from its seat. The cap D is lined with a packing-rin g, 7', of thick india-rubber, so that, when a bottle is pressed up against said cap, a tight joint will be produced between the mouth of the bottle and the cap.

In order to draw liquid from the. fountain the. mouth of the bottle or receiving-vessel is placed into the cap D, and, by pressing up against said bottle, the tubular extension of the cap is forced up against the packing-ring t', and, as this packing-ring is compressed, the joint between the tubular extension of the cap and the packing-ring is rendered perfectlyr tight, and thus preventing the passage of liquid down between the shank of the valve and the packing, and its entrance into and through the screw-thread of the cap and the valveshank. At the saine time the valve is raised from its seat, and the liquid from the fountain passes into the receiving-vessel. When the receiving-vessel has been filled to the desired point the pressure against it is gradually reduced, so that the stop-valve will close before the joint between the cap and the mouth of the receiving-vessel is broken, and thereby all waste or spilling of liquid is avoided.

In Fig. 2, I have shown a modification of my invention. In this case the cap D is firmly connected to the valvechamber B, and the tubular valve-stem c is provided with a` iiange, c", which bears against the packing-ring i". In front of this flange is placed the packingdisk j. The tubular stem c may be firmly connected to the valve, or it may be provided with a bridge to receive a pin projecting from the valve.

When the receiving-vessel is pressed against its seat the disk j is first compressed, so as to close the mouth of said receiving-vessel; then the ring @'0 is compressed and the valve is raised from its seat. The liquid, on discharging into the receiving-vessel, is kept under the saine pressure which exists in the fountain, and when the receiving-vessel is removed from the cap D the free gas escapes, and the liquid i muining liquid in the tumbler has 10st :di its und e pipe lea-ding to the vessel containing life. By my apparatus champagne or other the ef'erveseent liquid7 with un elastic puckliquid of a similar nature can be dispensed diing arranged between the sliding cap and the rectly from a Cask or fountain in any desiruseat of the stop-valve, substantially as and for ble quantity. the purpose described.

What I claim es new, and desire to secure THOMAS VARKER. [L. s.} by Letters Patent, is- Witnesses:

The combination of the eztp D, a stop-valve W. HAUFF, having zt shank connected with the sliding cap, E. F. KASTENHUBER.
