SPEGIFCATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 667,096, dated January 29, 1901. Application led August 7, 1900. Serial No. 26,118. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JESSE O. LIPPINCOTT, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Siphon-Fillers, whichimprovement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying'drawings.

This invention consists of an improved construction of Siphon-filler, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

Figure 1 represents a central vertical section of a Siphon-filler embodying my invention, with a Siphon applied thereto to illustrate the manner in which the same is filled. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of the filler. Fig. 3 representsa detail perspective view of a valve employed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a Siphon-filler which in the instance illustrated is provided with an angular plate B, by means of which it can be secured to a wall or other support C, as shown in Fig. l. The pipe D connects with the tank containing the carbonated water or other liquid with which the Siphon is to be filled. The said Siphon-filler A is provided with a valve-chamber E, which connects at its lower end by means of a passage F with the pipe D, said passage F extending through a base-piece G, upon the upper end of which the barrel H is screwthreaded.

At the upper end of the valve-chamber is an opening or outlet J, in which is situated a sliding conduit or tube K, while at the upper end of the valve-barrel is a chamber L, into which the outer end of the tube K eX- tends. The said tube K is provided with an annular shoulder or stop M, situated within this chamber L, and the upper end of the chamber is closed by a screw-cap N, provided with a central opening P, that is a little larger than the upper end of the tube K. Upon the bottom of the chamber L is a packing-washer Q, and against the inner face of the cap N is a gasket or .Washer R, against which said annular shoulder or stop M of the tube K is adapted to abut, as will be hereinafter eX- plained, said washers or gaskets Q and R forming abutments to limit the longitudinal movement of said conduit. The tube K is open at both ends and near its lower end is provided with ports S. The said ports S are so located with reference to the shoulder or stop M ofy the tube that when the shoulder or stop M rests upon the washer Q said ports S are situated within the ValVechamberE, but when the stop or shoulder M is in contact with the upper washer Rsaid ports are situated within the outlet or opening J and are closed thereby. The tube K is normally held in the last-named position by a spring-actuated valve T, the same consisting of a ball, which is preferably of compressible rubber or analogous material and adapted to fit the inner end of the tube K and to effectually close the same. This valve T also lits against the lower end of the outlet or opening J to close the communication at this point, the lower end of said opening acting as a valveseat. The said ball-valve T is loose and is moved into place by means of a spring U, to the upper end of which is secured a seat V to fit said ball, While the lower end of said spring is secured to a plate W, that is screw-threaded into the lower end of the barrel H and is provided with openings or ports X, through which the liquid can pass from the passage E into the valve-chamber E. The upper end of the barrel is also provided with the fingerholds Y, only one of which is shown in Eig. 2.

The operation is as follows: The parts shown in Fig. l are in the position they assume when the Siphon is being filled, the

spout Z of the Siphon having been insertedr into'the opening P of the cap N and placed over the upper end of the tube K, abutting against the shoulder or stop M. The opening in the packing-washer R is small enough to cause a tight joint between said washer and the spout Z, as shown. The Siphon is pressed down until the shoulder M is forced against the lower washer Q, and the ports S are moved into the valve-chamber E, thereby moving the valve T inwardly and compressing the spring U. The operator usually grasps the finger-holds Y with two fingers and presses on the lever A of the Siphon with the palm of the hand, and while the parts are held in this position the Siphon is IOC filled, the liquid passing upwardly, as shown by the arrows in Fig. l. After being filled it is only necessary to withdraw the spout of the siphon, whereupon the spring U raises the valve E and tube K until the valve T is pressed against the lower end of the opening J, through which the tube slides, the wall of the valve-chamber around the lower end of said opening serving as a valve-seat. This also presses the shoulder or stop M against the upper washer R to make a tight joint at this point and prevent splashing.

The construction of my Siphon-filler' is simple and durable and is therefore less liable to get out of order, while I have found that the siphons are filled readily and quickly and also that leaking and splashing are effectually obviated. lurt-hermore7 with my invention it is possible to fill an eight-ounce siphon with one shot and larger siphons in the same relation, and I have also found that the siphons are filled to a greater extent than heretofore.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. In a Siphon-filler, a valve-chamber communicating with a source of supply and provided with an automatically-elosing valve controlling` the outlet therefrom, a sliding tube situated in said ou tletand against the inner end of which said valve abu ts, said tu be being provided with ports at its inner end portion, a stop or shoulder Vat the outer end portion of said tube, and a gasket about the inlet-opening in the cap of the barrel or shell of the device, against which said stop or shoulder is normally held under tension.

2. In a siphon-iller, a valve-cham ber communicating with a source of supply and provided with an automatically-closing valve Controlling the outlet therefrom, a sliding tube in the outlet from said chamber and against the inner end of which said valve abuts, said tube being provided at its inner end portion with ports, a chamber situated beyond the outlet from said valve-chamber, a cap upon the outer end of said chamber provided with an opening, and packing-washers at the opposite sides of said chamber, said tube extending into said chamber and being provided with a shoulder situated between said washers and against one of which said shoulder abuts when the tube is moved to either limit of its movement.

3. In a Siphon-filler, a valve-chamber communicating with a source of supply, a perforated plate in the lower end of said valvechamber, a spring upon said plate, a seat upon said spring, a valve upon said seat, a sliding tube in the outlet from said valvechamber, and against the lower end of which said valve is pressed by said spring, ports` in the lower end portion of said tube, a stop or shoulder at the outer end portion of said tube that is situated exterior to said valve-chamber, and packing-washers situated on opposite sides of said shoulder or stops.

4. In a Siphon-filler, a gasket about an opening in the outer end thereof, a movable conduit having a shoulder near its outer end adapted to abut against the inner side of said gasket when the conduit is at the outer limit of its movement, and means for automatically closing said conduit and at the same time moving said conduit to the outer limit for the purpose of holding said shoulder under tension against said gasket.

5. In a Siphon-filler, gaskets separated from each other and situated about an opening in the outer end thereof, a movable conduit sliding through said gaskets and provided with a shoulder situated between the same, said shoulder being adapted to abut against one of said gaskets when the conduit is moved to either limit of its movement, and means for automatically closing said conduit and holding said shoulder under tension against the outer gasket.

G. In a Siphon-filler, a gasket about an opening in the outer end thereof, a movable conduit sliding through said gasket, and means for automatically moving said conduit to one limit of its movement for closing the same, said conduit adapted to be opened by being moved to the other limit of its movement against the tension of the automatic devices for closing the same.

7. A siphon-iiller, provided with a movable conduit to establish communication between the inlet and outlet thereof, a shoulder upon said conduit, abutments separated from, on opposite sides of, and adapted to Contact with said shoulder to limit the longitudinal movement of the conduit, and an automatic valve adapted to close said conduit and hold the salue under tension at the outer limit of its movement, said conduit being opened when moved to the inner limit of its movement.

8. In a Siphon-filler, a movable cond uithaving a shoulder, a-butments Separated from, on opposite sides of, and adapted to contact with said shoulder to limit the longitudinal movement thereof, means for holding said conduit under tension at.- the outer limit of its movement, and an automatic valve for said conduit.
