BOTTLE-FILLING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 571,104, dated November 10, 1896. Application filed January 2, 1896. Serial No. 574,034. (No model.)

To (LZZ whom, it nuty concern.-

Be it known that we, HYMAN BLUMBERG and LEON J ACOBSON, citizens of the United States, and residents of New York city, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful I1nprovements in Bottle-Filling Apparatus, of which parts, can be readily operated, and is inexpensive and durable.

The invention will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically set forth in the annexed claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing ourimproved apparatus attached to a barrel, and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation taken on aline mo of Fig. 1.

In the practice of our invention we provide a distributer, comprising a flattened and closed compartment A and a tubular inlet a. Leading downwardly through the compartment A from a tightly-fitting partition a are a series of tubes B. These said tubes are composed of block-tin and terminate at the lower wall a of the compartment A. Depending downwardly from this said wall a and communicating with the lower ends of the tubes B are other tubes 13. These said tubes are composed of brass or other suitable metal which will not readily bend; but in order to protect the liquid adapted to pass through them they must be supplied with an interior coating b of tin, whereby the combination of the tubes B with the tubes B will produce continuous tubular channels of tin, which metal will not have any deleterious efiect upon beer or other liquid adapted to pass through the apparatus.

In order to insure that an equal amount of liquid will be contained within each of the tubes B, they must all be of exactly the same length. They are therefore bent into compound curves, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

The inlet-channel dis provided with a valve 0, adapted to control the flow of liquid therethrough.

To complete the operative parts of the device a flexible tubular channel D is provided. This channel is connected at one end with the inlet a, and it is provided with a sliding cork or bung (Z, which cork is adapted to engage with a'bunghole of a barrel, cask, or other vessel being emptied.

To the lower or outer end of the flexible tube D we attach a screen (1. This will prevent anything but liquid substance from entering the tube D. At a point near the juncture of the tube D with the inlet a we provide the said tube with an arm or branch D, to the outer end of which branch is attached a hollow screw-plug d which plug engages with a screw-cap (1 'In the operation of the device the bung of a barrel or cask is removed in the ordinary way The end of the tube D which carries the hollow bung cl is then projected downwardly into the barrel, and the bung d is brought into tight engagement with the bun ghole 6 of the barrelE. The tubes B are then inserted, respectively, into the necks of the bottles. The cap d is then removed from the plug (1 and suction is applied from the plug (1 through the branch I) and the tube D until the liquid starts to flow from the barrel, after which thecap d can be replaced and the valve 0 opened, thuspermitting the liquid to siphon out of the barrel until the bottles are filled, when the valve C must be closed and another set of bottles brought into engagement with the tubes B. This operation can be repeated until the barrel is emptied, when the apparatus can be readily removed therefrom and attached to another barrel, cask, or other vessel which it is desired to empty.

We do not confine ourselves to the specific 5 detail of mechanical construction as illustrated in the drawings and herein described, as it is obvious that under the scope of our invention we are entitled to make slight changes.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- In a bottle-filling apparatus, the combina- IOO tion of a flexible siphon having a capped branch and a tubular valved outlet leading therefrom, which outlet engages with a partition in the contracted upper portion of a closed triangular compartment, said partition having leadingtherefrom a plurality of blocktin tubes which are all of the same length and which are spread apart at their lower ends and extended through the lower wall of the said triangular compartment and respectively joined to depending tubes of equal length adapted to discharge liquid into bottles, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names, in I 5 presence of two witnesses, this 31st day of December, 1895.
