CARBONATING APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 552,543, dated January 7, 1896.
Application filed April 13, 1892. Serial No. 429,056. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN ORMEROD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Oarbonating Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
One obj ect of my invention is to avoid the necessity of securing bung-pieces and `stuffing-boxes on the inside of the cylinders and other vessels used in carbonating apparatus. The method usually followed of securing those parts on the inside of the vessels has been to solder the same to the lead or blocktin lining thereof, which operation is tedious, slow and expensive, uncertain in securing freedom from leaks, and necessitates the reinforcing of the metal around the many openings to acquire the needed strength to resist the internal pressure.
` Another object of my invention is to simplify the mechanical construction of the various vessels-such as generators, carbonating-cylinders, acid-chambers and gas-washers-employed in a carbonating apparatus; and this object I accomplish by dispensing with a number of the parts heretofore used, while effecting the same ends by a reduced number of parts, and at the same time lessening the cost of the entire apparatus. Generally speaking, this is done by dispensing with the separate inlet and outlet openings in the dierent vessels for the introduction -of the different elements and materials required in the production of carbonated beverages, each of which inlet and outlet openings required its own particular bung-piece, usually connected by solder to the lining of the vessel to make a tight joint therewith and secured on the outside by a jam-nut, and employing instead of said separate inlet and outlet openings a single way or opening on the vessel adapted to receive a connecting part,
which is provided with two or more ways serving either as inlets or outlets, as may be required.
Another object of my invention is to secure the highest efficiency from the lead or blocktin lining of the vessels, lead or block tin being employed according to the uses of the vessels, by relieving such lining from the bur-` `of the cylinder or other vessel with a projecting neck, cast or otherwise formed in one piece with said outer lining, which neck is faced or vprovided with a flange to serve as a seat for an outside connecting part, and which neck and its face flange are lined with lead or block tin, as necessity may require,` the.
lining being connected to the lead or blocktin lining of the cylinder or vessel by soldering or burning, and when so connected forming substantially a continuation of the-lining of the cylinder or vessel proper. It will be seen that by relieving the inner lining of the vessel from the weight of the solder heretofore employed to connect the bung-pieces or stuffing-boxes, and by having the said lining made substantially continuous to the outlet, that a lining is secured which is of substantially equal strength throughout and which is not liable to leak, and which,when desired,
may be removed from the cylinder by simply removing the outside connection from the necks and heating the joint between the necklining and cylinder-lining and withdrawing the cylinder-lining.
Another object of my invention is to provide means for facilitating the distribution of the charge in the generating vessel or cylinder. IIeretofore the charging-bung for the introduction of carbonating materials and water in the gen erating-cylinder has been placed at or near one end of the same. By combining in one outside connecting-piece two or more inlet or outlet openings I have been able to place'the charging orifice near the middle of the cylinder, whereby facility of distribution is attained.
In the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, Figure l is a side elevation of a generator with acid-chamber and gas-washer, both partly in section, the cylin- -der being provided with an outside connec- IOO gas-washer being partly in section to show the inflow of gas from the preceding gas-washers, said view also showing the connection from the gas-washer to the carbonating-cylinder, the carbonated water discharge-pipe, and the water-gage attachment. Fig. et is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 5 is an enlarged vertical. section of central neck and opening on generator, combination attachment of water and carbonate-supply opening and cap, acidfeeding pipe, and safety-valve connection as illustrated in Fig. l, showing the manner in which the lining is turned over the face of the neck and the manner in which the combination attachment is secured. Fig. 6 is a vertical section of my invention as applied to a portion of a gas-washer cover similar to that illustrated in Fig. l with combination outside connecting-piece, showing gas inlets and outlets formed in the one piece. Fig. 7 is an enlarged vertical section of a neck of the carbonating apparatus illustrated in Fig. 3, showing the combination-piece with water-supply inlet and its cap, gas-pipe, and outlet forearbonated beverage. Fig. 8, in an enlarged sectional view, shows my invention applied to the stuffing-box. and cylinder of a soda-water apparatus, showing the inner lining turned over on the face of the neck of the cylinder and the manner in which the stuffing-box and bearing is attached thereto. Fig. 9 is a vertical section of top of acid-chamber illustrated in Fig. l, showing the acid-feeding pipe with its stuffing-box, the opening and its cap for filling in the acid, and the gas-pressure-feeding inlet for supplyin acid to the generator, and the manner in which the inner lining is turned over the neck on the outside.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts in the various iigures of the drawings.
In Figs. l, 2, 5, G, and 9 the invention is illustrated in connection with a generator, and in Figs. 3, it and 7 in connection with a carbonating-cylinder, the stuiiing-box illustrated in Fig. S being employed in connection with any of the various vessels used in this art where an agitator is necessary.
Referring to Figs. l, 2, and 5, A represents the cylinder of the generator, which, as shown, is formed in two sections bolted together, each section comprising an outer metallic shell, preferably of steel or cast-iron AQ and a lining of sheet-lead A2. This sheetlead completely lines the cylinder A and extends through and lines the throats or necks B B', and is turned over on the face thereof, which may be, as shown in Figs. l and 5, provided with a flange for the reception of bolts, or which may, as shown in Figs. (i and O, be formed broad enough to receive the bolts and a flange dispensed with.
C represents the acid-chamber, and D the hrst gas-washer. Both the acid-chamber and gas-washer are lined in a similar manner to that of lining the cylinder A, as shown in Fig. 6 at A12 and in Fig. 9 at A21. The cover of the acid-chamber is provided with a throat or neck C', which throat or neck, as shown in Fig. 9, has its lining A2l turned over on the face of the said neck C', as shown at A2. A combination-piece E is bolted or otherwise secured to said neck C', a packing E being interposed between the two. Said combination-piece is provided with three ways: one, E2, provided with a cap E2, serving to introduce the acid; another, E4, serving to connect the pipe E5, which communicates with the gas-washer D, and which pipe is employed to carry gas from said gas-washer to the top of the acid-chamber, whereby pressure is exerted upon said acid and the same is forced up through the siphon E6 and over into the cylinder A. The third way is really a stuffing-box for the said acid-pipe E, and is lettered El.
The gas-washer D is provided with a combination-piece F, which is secured to its neck or throat C2 in a similar manner to that of securing the combination-piece E. This combination-piece F is provided with three ways: one, F, for the admission of water; another, F2, for the admission of gas, either from preceding gas-washers, as shown in Fig. 3, or for vthe reception of gas from the generator, as
shown in Fig. l and a third way, F3, for conveying gas to farther gas-washers through the pipe F4, as in Fig. l, or, as in Fig. 3, for conveying the gas to the carbonating-cylinder through the pipe F5. The cylinder A is also provided with a similar neck B, which is lined in the manner described for the lining of the necks on the gas-washer and acidchamber, and to which is secured a combination-piece G, which combination-piece is provided with four ways: one, G', provided with a cap G2 for the admission of the carbonate and water; a second, G2, for passage of the gas generated from the cylinder A to the iirst gas-washer D a third being the siphon-pipe E, and the fourth, G4, for the attachment of the safety-valve G5.
The adaptation of the combination-piece to carbonating apparatus is illustrated in Figs. 3, 4t, and 7, in which H represents the carbonating-cylinder, which is constructed in a manner similar to the generating-cylinder A, with. the exception that it is provided with a block-tin lining A22 instead of sheet-lead lining. The gas-washer D', with, which the carbonating-cylinder is provided, is similar to the gas-washer heretofore described in connection with the generati11g-cylinderA. Like the gas-washer D it is provided with combination-piece F7 secured to the neck CS. This combinationpiece is provided with three ways: one, FS, for the admission of water; another, F9, for the admission of gas from a preceding gas-washer; and a third way, F10, for conveying the gas to the cabonating-cylinder through the pipe F5. The said carbonating-cylinder is provided with a neck C, to which is bolted or otherwise secured a combination-piece l', which combination-piece is provided with three ways: one, l', for the ad- IOO IIO
mission of Water; another,I2, for drawing o the carbonated beverage; and a third, P,for the admission of gas from the last gas-Washer to the carbonating-eylinder.
The dotted pipes J K represent, respectively, the continuation of the inlet gas-pipe and of the outlet for the carbonated beverage.
L represents the Water-gage.
In Fig. 8 I have shown the stuffing-box for an agitator M. This stuing-box is shown as connected on the outside by bolts through the neck C5, the inner lining being turned over the face of said neck and packing interposed between said lining and the stuffingbox.
