SlPHON BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent iv 741,96 5, dated October so, 1903. Application filed January 31, 1901. Serial No. 46,508. (lIo model.)

Be it known that I, JOHN Gnonon HEN- RIGH, of London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Siphon- .Bottles, of which the following is. a specification. In the equipment of siphon-bottles as now in general use each bottle requires a separate complete outfit consisting of a combination of astopper-with valve and siphointuhe and the top or taphaving a lever arrangement or sim Owing is considerable, and a fnrther disadvantage consists in such equipmentboing very liable to damage in transit, while a thorough and effective cleensing'of stopper, tap, and bottle proper is rendered very difficult and is for that reason frequently neglected or not carried out in efficient manner.

The object of this invention is to obviate the said disadvantages and to provide a stopper of simple construction which can readily be applied to or removed from the bottle or vase in order to be thoroughly cleaned and, if necessary, repaired, adinittihg ofthe bottle or vase beingalso properly washed out like any ordinary bottle. Furthermore, a single tap only need be supplied with any number of bottles, be this a tap of the simple and inexpensive construction hereinafter described and forming part of this invention or a tap of known construction having a lover or similar device for operating the siphon-valve.

Referring to the drawings, which form part ofi this specification, Figure l is a vertical section of a siphon-bottle provided with the new interior screw-thread, a hollow screw-stopper stopper, all parts being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the new tap. Fig. 3 is top view of the upper surface of the stopper. Fig. t is a plan. view of an insertion consisting of two separate parts and secured in 'the body of the tap and Fig. 5 is a horizontal section through the stopper along line any, Fig.1.

Into the neck of bottle or vase A, having an of imown conformation and connected with the upper portion of the siphon-stopper by means of suitable male and female screw-- threads is inserted, and efficient air-tight lowed out,so as to form a cavity or chamber for the reception of the valve. In the roof of said chamber there is e. central aperture adapted to admit valve-head 6, while the lower portion of the chamber is enlarged in diameter in order to accommodate a short metal cylinder or bush 4, which may either be cast in or otherwise fixed in position.

This cylinder or bush lhas in its inner sur face a female screw thread for receiving the male thread of the before mentioned .hoh

lowed screw-stopper, while the outer surface of the portion of bush 4; protruding downwardly from cap 1 below flange 2 is rounded or-otherwise adapted to hold paclcingding 10 when the stopper device has been removed from the bottle. 'Aronnd the outside of cap 1 above flange 2 the metal screW thresd 3 is cast on or otherwise secured, which thread serves to receive the threaded cup of the'ordinary tap consistingof 'metal head with lever and rod or similar device for operating the valve in case this type of tap is to be used instead of the simpler new tap hereinafter described. It only the new type'of tap is to be used, the thread,3 may be omitted.

Valve-body 5, made of vulcanite'or the like, is hollowed out from below to a certain depth and firmly fixed upon siphon-tube-13, and below the lower end onshoulder or said valveb-ody and the'bottoin of the hollow in the screwetopper a strong spiral spring 12 is provided for the purpose of pressingvalvehead G firmly into the central aperture in the roof of stopper-capl, an elastic washer 8, held in a suitable annular groove at the lower end of valve-head 6, insuring tight closing. Elastic ring 9, made of rubber or the like, is held in a groove sunk in the circumferential surface of valve-body 5 and serves to press firmly against the conical inner surface of hush e in order to effectively prevent the liquid from Ice entering the chamber inwhichspiral spring I, I

12 is located, elastic washer 11 serving the like purpose at the bottom of said 'spiral spring chamber.

From the upper portion of theborein valvebody 5 and above the upper rim of siphontnbe 13 is formed a suitable number of holes 7, Fig. 5, into the central cavity or chamber of stopper-cap 1, so that uponvalve 5 6 being depressed the liquid contained in the bottle will pass through siphon-tube 13 into valve-body 5, through apertures 7 into cap 1, and thence past washer 8 and valve-head 6 into the tap.

The new tap illustrated in section in Fig. 2 consists of body 13, made of porcelain, wood, or other suitable material, and bipartite insertion 1415, Figs. 2 and 4. The body of the tap may have any convenient conformation, preferably one easily fitting into the hollow of the hand, and has a circular central cavity of suchdiameter and depth as to fit loosely over stopper-cap 1, the said central cavity communicating with nozzle or spout a by means of "a narrower stepped bore. A plug 14, made'of wood, vulcanite, or the like, having threeor other suitable number of longitudinal grooves 16 of convenient cross-section, is firmly inserted into aforesaid stepped bore and projects into the main cavity of body 15, where it is inclose'd by a broad soft-rubber ring-or short piece of soft-r'nbber'tubing roof 0 the cavity. The lower end of plug 14-is ned down into. the shape of a stud, so as to'adinit of its entering the central hole in the upper surface of stopper-cap 1 in order to depress valve-h'ead 6 Upon the tap being applied to the stopper and being pressed down,'so as to operate the valve by means of the stud-shaped lower end of plug-14, the valve-body 5 is pressed down, together with and the rubber ring or short 15 will lie tightly against the piece of tubing roof of the stopper-cavity and against the up-' per surface of stopper-cap l. The liquid will therefore pass through the open valve and through the longitudinal grooves 16 of tapplug 14 into spout a. As soon as the pressure upon the valve-head is discontinued the spiral spring will rexpand and return the valve-body to its normal position.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A closure for siphon-bottles comprising the screw-stopper adapted to fit in the mouth or neck of a bottle, the'bush screwed to said stopper, and the cap secured to said bush and having an outlet, said stopper, bush, and cap being hollowed or chambered to receive a siphon-tube and a movable valve to close said outlet,in combination with the said valve closing said outlet,'a spring operating upon said valve and tending tokeep the same closed, and the said siphon-tube extending from said stopper downwardly.

2. A siphon-bottle having, in combination, a hollow stopper, a movable valve normally closing the outlet from the bottle, a siphontube extending down into the bottle, a spring in a chamber encircling the upper end of the siphon-tube and holding the valve to normally close the outlet and means for excluding the liquid from the chamber in which the spring is located.

3. A siphon-bottlehaving, in combination, a' hollow stopper, a valve normally closing 1 the outlet from the bottle, a siphon-tube connected with said valve to move therewith, a spring located within said stopper and en- 1 circling said siphon-tube,and packings above 15, which is made to-lie close against the and below the spring and surrounding the siphou-tubewhereby a tight chamber for the spring is formed. I v

4. A tap fora siphon-bottle having, in combination, a cavity .to it over the mouth of the bottle, a discharge nozzle 'or spout, a plug to open the outlet-valve of the bottle, and an elastic seat surrounding the plug and adapted to seat on the bottle when in use.

5. A tap for a siphon-bottlehaving, in combination, a discharge nozzle or spout, a plug to open the outlet-valve of the bottle, and an elastic seats-surrounding the plug and adapted to seat on the bottle when inuse.

In witness whereof l have hereunto set my hand in the presence ott'wo witnesses, JOHN GEORGE HENRICH, Witnesses:

Jos'r WINCKELSETT, RICHARD BOELKE'SIERA.
