PATENT OFFICE.

The invention aims to 1. escape to prevent carbonic acid, 2. the carbonic acid which develops during the fermentation process to collect, 3. to purify the air required for emptying the barrels, 4. a light Cleaning and fastening of the device on the hammered or screwed into the storage barrel To bring about lining or the drilled out bung.

Furthermore, these innovations are said to have the following advantages:

ι. a completely hermetic seal against atmospheric air through the peculiar Manner ^ the connection between the barrel bung and the device or the actual one To make gears;

2. to use a single collecting container for several barrels, or the individual fermentation bungs to bring each barrel into communication with the collecting container;

3. Apply completely purified air by placing an air filter in contact with the bung it says that the air pressure after removal of the fermentation gases produced cannot exert any detrimental influence when it is drawn off.

Fig. Ι is the vertical section of the Gähr-. and pull-off bung,

Fig. 4 is a top view.

Figs. 8 and 9 show the application of the bung to large storage barrels, the individual Gear bungs are brought into connection with a common, large container, in which all carbonic acid collects.

A is the bung screwed into the storage barrel, which is drilled through and connected to the fermenting bung C by the closure B. The fermentation bung C consists of the collecting container «, from which a pipe or a hole b leads to the barrel. The tube or the bore b is closed by a valve c which is arranged so that it can be closed by the handle c ^l , or a relieved valve can be used. The valve c is closed when the bung is to be cleaned. For this purpose, there is a neck d, which is ^l tightly closed by a cover d, disposed at the lower part of the collecting container which g through the tap / tube provided with the space e is in communication. This collecting space is through a pipe h with the. Main container D, FIGS. 8 and 9, in connection.

The opening i in the upper part of the space e is closed by a suitable valve k , so that as soon as the pressure in the space e becomes too high, the valve k is raised and the excess gas can escape to the collecting container D through the pipe h . A second pipe /, which is provided with a cock m , is connected to the pipe h . The pipe / leads after the pipe η in the air tank and is connected through it to the barrel, ο is a valve attached to the pipe η , which is represented by the one at the lower end of the pipe in dotted lines.

Valve can be replaced; also one can. use a ball valve or other suitable valve to close off the various pipes. pp ¹ is the air tank, the upper section p ^{l of which is provided} with salicylic wadding or another suitable disinfectant and air cleaner. The lower space / serves to allow the purified air to accumulate. The air tank f is connected to the barrel through the pipe η,

The tube η is, as mentioned before, provided with a suitable valve ο to allow the cleaned air to flow to the barrel. The upper space p ¹ communicates with the air vessel through the pipe q , or it can be passed directly to the open air.

The closure or attachment B consists of two rings rr ¹ , of which r is the lower, r ^{1 is} the upper. Both rings rr ¹ are threaded and the ring r ^x also has handles so that r ¹ can be screwed into r. The ring r is provided with noses s on the lower surface, which fit through corresponding incisions s ¹ into the flange of the plug A in the barrel, so that when the ring r is partially turned the noses step under the full parts of the flange and one Establish a permanent connection. By screwing on the ring r ^l , the surfaces, which can be arranged at a slight angle, are firmly clamped to one another and an airtight connection is established.

The gases flow from the Fafs through the valve c and with the tap open / to the collecting container e and from here through the tube h to a common collecting container.

After the fermentation process has ended, the tap f is closed and the tap in opened, so that the gases flow back through / to the barrel in order to provide the necessary pressure when drawing off. If the pressure is no longer sufficient, air flows towards the barrel after it has passed through the air-cleaning agent stored in p ^1. The air cleaned in this way enters the pipe η through the valve ΰ and enters the tank. In this way it is possible to use the fermentation gases and the purified air to generate pressure when peeling off smaller containers.

In Fig. S is the vertical section of a modification of a carbonic acid collector, which is placed directly in the barrel or in the bung or the lining can be attached.

The air cleaning space p ¹ , which is ail filled with salicylic wadding or other air cleaning agent, is located in the annular bead t and is arranged around the collecting space p for the cleaned air. Two bores or tubes b η are arranged accordingly, one with a suction valve, the other with a pressure valve. One pipe b leads to the collecting space e, the other pipe 11 establishes the connection between the collecting space / and the barrel. While the carbon dioxide escapes to space e , the pipe / is kept closed.

With this modification you can also attach a nozzle and connect space e to a large collecting container. The space p ¹ in the bead t is connected to the atmospheric air or to the air pump through a suitably attached pipe.

Figs. 6 and 7 show another arrangement. The inner wall of the bead is perforated in order to achieve a uniform distribution of the air flowing in through q over the salicylic wadding or other material in the space p ^1. The salicylic cotton is, as is also shown in Fig. 1, BEZW on a perforated plate. a grate.

The device is intended to be advantageous for restorations, can even be used in retail sales.
