HARVEY S. FERRY, OF MOUNT VERNON, NEWA YORK.
APPARATUS FOR 'CARBONATING LIQUIDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,714, dated Januaryy24, 1905.
Application file/.l November l5, 1902. Serial No. 131,595.
zen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Mount Vernon, in the county of'Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Oarbonating Liquids, including malt liquids, so that they will be perfectly carbonated and can be bottled without that extreme amount of foaming that is so. commonin handlingmaltliquors, of which the following isa specification.
My invention has relation to an' apparatus for the carbonating and bottling of malt andy .similar liquids whereby the foaming and loss of liquid is prevented and the action is performed-simply and in such general connection it relates to the construction and arrangement of such an apparatus.
The invention consists in certain improvements in construction, which will be fully disclosed in the following specification and claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a vertical longitudinal section of my improved carbonator; Fig. 2, a vertical transverse section and a top plan view of one of the distributing-cones;v Fig. 3, a like view of one of the receiving-cones; Fig. 4, a view showing the comminglingchamber in vertical section and the cones in perspective; Fig. 5, avertical section of one of the distributing-cones on an enlarged scale; Fig. 6, an enlarged detail showing the under side of the discharge-opening' in the cones; Fig. 7, a top plan View of one of the perforated platesin the carbonator, and Fig. 8 a-top plan view ofthe iioat and its connection with the iioat-rod.
Reference being had to the drawings and the designating characters thereon, 1 indicates the body of the carbonator, provided with detachable heads 2 3 'and having oppositely-inclined perforated plates 4 5 arranged therein and removable from the body from opposite ends for the purpose of cleaning the plates. These. plates may be secured tol a spider or skeleton 6 7 and are preferably bent downward at their ends 8 9. The perforations 10 in the plates allow part of the liquid to pass through the plates and travel along the plates, on both sides thereof, in athin strata or sheet, thus exposing the liquid to the free gas in the carbonator while it is traveling along the 'surfaces of the plates. The liquid iiowing down the under side of the plates is held thereto by adhesion. The body 1 is prefer'ably cylindrical in form and made of drawn sheet metal.
From the body-1 extends a cylindrical neck 11, provided with a head 12, secured thereto by bolts 13 or in any preferred manner, and on the head is a dome or spheroidalreverberatory commingling-chamber 14,'in which the liquid` and the gas are commingled as they are received, respectively, from the liquid-pipe 15 and from the gas-pipe 16. The gas-pipe is provided with an ejector having an enlarged chamber 17, contained in a liquid-chamber 18,
. 'which forms an extension of the chamber 14,
and the nozzle 19 of the ejector terminates at the juncture of the chambers 14 and 18. By this construction the chamber 17 supplies gas in a steady stream, the liquid surrounds the ejector, and the end of the nozzle forms a vacuum and induces or draws the gas through From the bottom or lower sidethe ejector. of the chamber 14 extends a pipe 20, on which are arranged one or more preferably conical distributing-cones 21 and one or more receiving-cones 22, and theliquid is discharged from the pipe 2O into the upper distributing-cone through a series of perforations 23. The'disltributing-cone is provided with a series of concentric chambers 24 in different horizontal planes approximately V-shaped in cross-section, the outer wall of the chambers vbeing higher than the inner wall, and in the bottom of each chamber are numerous perforations 25, formed by driving a punch through the metal to force it downward and split or rupture the flange of metal and form a plurality of ragged edges 26, as shown in Fig. 6, over which the liquid passes and by which it is separated or broken into fine particles or drops, with which the gas readily mixes and thoroughly charges the liquid. rI heliquid discharged in line particles falls into the receiving-cone 22, which becomes filled, is constantly agitated by the falling particles, and is still further commingled with the gas in the carbonator. The receiv- IOO ' in the extension or neck 1l.
The supply of liquid is controlled by an elongated float 28, pivotally connected to the .arms 29 29 of the rod 30, which is pivotally secured to the spider 7 and has connected or attached thereto a rod 31, which engages the inner end of a rod 32, having a valve 33 on the outer end thereof, and said rod extends through a gland 3A of a stufng-box 35. rlhe lioat is contained in the body l, is elongated, and is pivotally connected in its longitudinal center to the float-rod to maintain a level or horizontal position and to allow the slight rise and fall thereoie in a contracted space to afford suficient throw of the rod to open and close the valve 33 as the liquid rises and falls in the carbonator.
36 indicates the discharge for carbonated liquid from the body l.
The liquid is subjected to repeated disintegrations and comminglings with the gas from the time it is discharged from the supply-pipe into the reverberatory chamber lbthrough the cones 2l 22 in the neck 11, and through and over the perforated plates 4 5 in the body l.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is- 4 l.

A carbonator provided with a spheroidal commingling-chamber having a liquid-cl1am ber at one end and in open communication therewith, a liquid-supply pipe, and a gassupply pipe having an enlarged chamber con tained within said liquid-chamber, and a nozzle within the liquid-chamber conn'nunicating with said enlarged chamber, concentrically arranged in the liquid-chamber and terminating approximately at the juncture of said coinmingling and liquid chambers; in combination with means for distributing the liquid.
5. A carbonator having a comminglingchamber, and means for supplying liquid and gas thereto; in combination with a liquid-distributing cone communicating` wi th said chamber and provided with a pluralityv of chambers in different horizontal planes, and having discharge-apertures in the bottom of the chambers provided with ragged edges.
