PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,368, dated July 12, 1887 (No model.)

T all whom it may concern;

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. BENNETT and LOUIS GOMPPER, of the city, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sirup-Pumps, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the machines used for bottling aerated waters--such as soda-waterby which machines a small quantity of -sirup is injected into each bottle at the same time that the soda o r aerated water is introduced.

'This invention relates especially to animprovcment in the Sirup-pump used for injecting the sirup into the bot-tlc, and the object of l the invention is to simplify the construction of the pump and to permit of reaching those parts most subject to wear and tear without unscrewing all the parts ofthe pump, all as will he fully described and set forth hereinafter, and nally pointed ont in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front view of an apparatus for `filling aerated waters into bottles. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional plan view of the Sirup-pump. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view of the valve. Fig. 4 isaside view of the pump. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same. Fig. Gis a crosssectional view on the line x a", Fig. 5.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The apparatus shown in Fig. lis a bottlingbench of the usual construction.

The pump-cylinder A is provided at one end with a head, A, containing a stufiingbox, through which the piston-rod B passes, and said cylinder is provided, vnear the end with the head or cap A, with a laterally-project- Y ing neck, C, to which the coupling-pipe leading to the Sirup-receptacle is coupled. The piston D, fastened tothe end of the piston-rod B, is provided with a spring puppet-valve, D', which opens when the piston is moved toward the inlet end ofthe cylinder. The cylinder is provided,at the end opposite the one provided with the cap A, with the neck E, having a bore, E', establishing communication between the bore of the cylinder and a cylindrical cavi-ty or recess, E?, in said 'neck E. At that end of the bore E', in connection with the cavity E2, a beveled seat, I1", is formed for the beveled edge of a puppet-valve, G, the stem of which is in the bore E'. A suitable packing-piece is secured on the beveled offset of said puppetvalve G.

On the -end of the neck E a plug, H, is screwed, which has a neck or tubular extension, H', to which the pipe I is serewed,\vhich is connected with the tank or fountain con taining the aerated' water. That end of the plug H screwed into the end of the neck E holds in place a flanged bushing, J', the interior flange at one end of which forms a seat for a puppetvalve, J, within the bushing, said puppet-valve heilig fastened to astem, K, which passes through the tubular stem of the puppet valve G, and is mounted to slide on the same,a nut,K,beingserewed on the end of said stem. A spiral spring,L. rests against that end of the bushing J provided with the internal flange forming the seat and against the puppetvalve G, and serves to press said puppet-valve against its seat. A spiral spring,M,in the bushing and in the recess in the inner end of the plug H, rests against the end of said recess and against the ilange of the puppet-valve J, and serves to press said puppet-valvc against the seat formed by theinternal fiange ofthe bushing J. A neck or tube, N, projects laterally from the cavity E2 of the neck E, and'serves to conduct the mixture of water and sirup to the nozzle O, Fig. 1, from which it ilows into the bottle held in a suitable cup or receiver, O', on the bottling apparatus,as shown in Fig. l. The outer end of the piston-rod B is turned upward and connected by a rod, P, with one end of an angle-lever, Q, pivoted on a laterally-projecting wing, R, of the neck E at It,

said lever being provided at the opposite end with a handle, Q'. The wing t is provided with a series of apertures, S', for receiving the stop-pins against which the lug T, projecting from the under side of the lever Q', can strike, by means of which pins the throw or travel of the piston D can be adjusted.

The operation is as follows: The bottle is placed in the proper position in the cup O,and the cap or nozzle forced down upon the open head of the bottle. The lever Q is swung in the direction of the arrow m', Fig. 5, whereby the piston D is moved in the direction of the arrow of, Fig. 2, and the sirup contained in the cylinder between the outlet end of said cylinder and the piston D is forced out through IOO the outlet-opening' E of the cylinder. The sirup exerts a pressure n thelpuppet-valve Gwhich is moved in the direction ofthe arrow m2, Figs. 2 and 3, and the spring L being compressed thus permits the piston to force the sirup into the cavity E2 and into the bore of the-neck or tube N. When the piston has almost completed its stroke in the direction of the arrow m2, the head of the valve D strikes that end of the rod K projecting into the outlet end of said cylndelgas shown in Figs. 2 and 3, whereby the rod K is 'moved in the direction of the arrow m2,' Figs. 2 and 3,

vand the puppet-valve J, connected with the said rod, is moved in the same direction and opened, thus permitting aerated water to flow from the tank or fountain through the pipe I and the bore of the plug H,andrthrougl1 the bushing J into the cavity E2, and through the same into the bore of the tube or neck N, and with the sirup into the bottle. Then the lever Q is moved in the inverse direction ofthe arrow Fig. 5, whereby the piston D is.

moved in the inverse direction of the arrow m2, and from the end of the rod K,which is released, t-hus permitting the spring M, which was previously compressed, to expand and to press the valve K against its seat in the bushing J. The valve G also closes automatically with the valve J as soon as the piston is withdrawn. Vhen the piston D is moved in the direction of the arrow .m2, a certain quantity of sirup is drawn into that part of the cylinder between the cap A' and the piston D, and when said piston is moved in the inverse direction ofthe arrow a2, the sirup opens the valve D"'and passes into that part of the cylinder between the outlet end and the piston. The pipe connecting the cylinder and the Sirup-tank must. have a suitable check-valve to prevent the re ,n

turn-flow of the sirup. The .valves G and J, which are the parts most apt to `get out of order, can easily b'e removed for the purpose of cleaning, adjusting, and repairing the same after unserewing the plug H, and thus there is no need of detachingthe pump or unscrewing any of the other parts.

Having th'us described our invention, we claim as new and vdesire to secure by -Letters l Patentrod passed through the valve for closing the' end of the cylinder, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a Sirup-pump, the combination, with a cylinder provided at one end with an eXten- .sion, having` a bore and a laterally-extending neck from'said bore, of a valve in said bore for thepurpose of closing the end of the cylinder, a rod mounted to slide in said valve, a casing in the bore, a valve in the casing,which valve is secured on the one end of the rod passing through the valve for closing the end of the cylinder, and springs acting on the two valves, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention We have signed `our names in presence of two subscribing witnesses.y
