IMPROVD BOTTLE FOR AERATED LIQUIDS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent N o. 34,894, dated April 8, 1862.

To all wiz/'om it may concern:`

Be it known that I, 'JOHN D. LYNDE, of Philadelphia, in the -county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new 'and usefulValve-Stopper for Bottles; and I hereby declare that full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference D is the support of the hollow valve-stem ,which passes through its center. The lower end of H is closed, and an annular depression about one-sixteenth inch d'eep and knob, K, of saine diameter as and connected to H by a neck. In one side of said neck is a slot connected with the hole in the valvestem. ByA passing the knob K downthrough the hole in the center of X, of the size of the neck connecting'K and H, the knob K, with said rubber X, becomes a valve to close the aperture in D as K is pressed upward.` y

On H, at a convenient distance above D, is which forms a cap to hold in position'the ,rubber band L, which acts as a spring to keep the above-described valve closedpwhen not being operated, also as' packing- Ato -inake a tight -joint at O, being 'pressed' by forceofits own elasticity down thetunnel-shaped topv of Dyon which it rests, and against the valvestem H.

the following is a\ is made, which leaves a" The'dotted lines s s show the position the rubber L will take when the valve is opened to fill or discharge the bottle..

To Illthe bottle with mineral water under pressurefthe top of the valve-stem H is inserted into the mouth-piece of the filling-ma' chine attached to a fountain. The pressure used to make atight joint between said mouthpiece and H willfalso cause H to descend, opening ,the valve, and forming'communication between the lling-machine and the bottle, the knob K taking the Vposition of the dotted line V. The aperture, which might be .caused in D by the great .pressure of gas, is prevented b'y the compression of the rubber L betweenthe edges of R `and-D T T. The

water is allowedto run in until the bottle is three-fourths filled, then stopped, and the air allowed to escape from the bottle by. loosening slightly the stopper at its connect-ion with the mouth, when it is again tightened, and gas forced inby same filling-machine, being vintroduced. by means of a pipe attached to the fountain above the water, thus giving the rcquired pressure inthe bottle.

To discharge the contents of the bottle, a conveying-pipe is 'slipped on the top of H, which being pressed downward, the fluid is forced up by the gas-pressure through' B and the valve-stem H, out through the said conducting-pipe in portions, as required, without loss of gas. What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The valve as described, and its combination with the rubber spring L, the hollow valvestem H, the tube B, and the hollow mouth piece A, constructed substantial] y as described,

and for the purposes set forth.
