SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters-Patent No. I791,628, dated June 6, 1905.

Application ned May 25.1904.. seria No. 209,766.

'To (LZZ- whom iv' may concern/rr;

Be `it known that I, Dnwis LANDAU, a citizen of the United States,residing at Span Francisco, in the county of San Francisco-and State l of California, have invented lcertain new and useful Improvements in Siphon-Bottles; and:l

vI do hereby declare; the following' to ybe a full,

clear, and exact description of the same, such f f aswill enable others skilled in the art to'which y IO 'it appertains to make-and use the same.v

Generally speaking, my present invention is'anl improvement in Siphon-bottles; but to' be more specific it is an improvement onthe invention shown and described in myformer patent, No. 687,159, issued to me November 19, 1901'. y r

Besides possessing all the advantageous features of my former patent the present device has additional advantages, which will be noted in the following specification.

In my present invention I have made provision for the ready refilling of the bottle without the necessity of the expensive stationary mechanism now employed for that purpose.v

By the employment of my bottle it is possible to dispense the soda-water directly from the bottle or through the head thereof` directly from the larger storing-reservoir.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear in the following specifications and the novel features thereof will be particularly set forth in the appendant claims. In the. drawings hereunto annexed and constituting a part of this specification, Figure l is a vertical central section of the device. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modied form of construction, only a top portion of the head being shown. Fig. 3 is a side elevation and partial section of a modification. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of still another modification. Fig. 5 is a central section and partial elevation of stilll another form of construction. Fig. 6 is a top view of the reciprocating plunger employed. 4

Referring now to the above views by numeral, 1 represents the top of an ordinarilyformed glass Siphon-bottle, about the neck of Which is set the ordinarily-constructed metal 'collar 2,'- the outer surface of which is screwthreaded' to engage with similarly-formed 'threads in the base 3 of the metal head. Held securelyk up against'the inner roof of the base 3 by means of the upper rim" of the neck of the bottle and the interposed rubber washer 4 is the funnel-'shaped member 5, to which is secured the ordinary glass Siphon-tube 6. Adapted to reciprocate in a vertical cha'nnel'7 and bearing at its lower extremity a rubber or otherwise yielding valve-head 8 is the stem 9, the upper extremity of which terminates` in a hollow head 10, in which is formed opposite spiral slots 11. Passing through theseslots 11 and having its opposite ends held in the neck l2 of the Siphon-head is the cross-pin 13. This pin is prevented from becoming displaced by means of the screw-cap 14:. Now assuming that the hanf dle 15 is positioned as shown it would be readily seen that as the handle isturned the head 10 will likewise turn, and owing to the presence of thc cross-pin 13 the head 10 and stem 9 will be forced downward, thereby moving the depending valve-head 8 away from its seat A and allowing the contents of the bottle to ow upward and then outward from the curved spout B. The spring 16, which encirclesy the stern 9, causes the valve to return to its normal closed position as the handle 15 is released.

On the opposite side of the base 3 from the spout B is the pipe 17, which leads to the interior of the member 5, but is isolated from spout B by the valve-head 8." This pipe is provided with a valve C and then connected to a large portable copper tank or other concealed reservoir by means of a suitable flexible tube. This latter tank is situated below the bar or counter and out of sight of thecustomer, or the exible tube can even be led to the cellar, where a small automatic electric soda-mach ine `may be situated.

From the description so far gone into it is manifest that, assuming that the bottle is full` and is standing on the counter, the temperature of the bottle will soon reach the temperature of the room. Now when a customer wishes a f causing it to twist. served that owing tothe extent of play of the glass of soda and requests that it be not icecold theoperator closes the valveCand operates the handle l5, thereby drawing the liquid from the bottle. On the other hand, should the customer desire ice-cold soda the modiiieation shown in Fig. 3 is resorted to, the

`valve D being closed and thehandlefl operto the fact that the head l() is pointed and turns rkindependent of the stem 9 the latter ywill simply reciprocate upward and downwardand operate the v.valve-head Swithout It will be further obhandle 15 kthe liquid will not gush out, as in the ordinary Siphon-bottle, but will start gradually and increase at the Will of the operator.

i `Having thus fully described my invention,

4 the operation and advantages of the same will,

it is thought, be readilyunderstood.

Having thus fully described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure by Letters .seribing witnesses.

1. A device of the class described provided with a siphon-tube, and a spout, a valve interposed between said tube and said spout, a suitable handle, a valve-head, said head being hollow and formed with opposite windingslots, and a pin passing through said slots, all for the purpose set forth.

2. A device of the class described provided with a Siphon-tube and spout a valve interposed between said tube and said spout, a head connected with said valve, said head being formed hollow with opposite winding-slots, a pin engaging said slots and a suitable handle connected to said head, movement of said handle being directed to turn said head and force said valve open, all for the purpose set forth.

3. A device of the class described provided with a Siphon-tube and spout a valve interposed between said tube and said spout, a hollow reciprocating head connected to said valve, and formed with winding-slots, a stationary pin engaging said slots, and a pipe leading to said tube and separated from said spout by said valve, all for the purpose set vforth.

-In testimony whereofl have signed my name to this speeiiicat1on in the presence oi two sub- DEWIS LANDAU.
