Abstract
Abstract An adapter for a standard siphon head employed on a threaded neck of a bottle for dispensing carbonated liquids is provided and consists of a collar which has outer threads for installation into the standard siphon head and inner threads for installation onto the threaded neck of the bottle so that the bottle can be emptied of the liquid through the siphon head without further loss of the carbonation. In a modified form the adapter can be designed to be used on various size unthreaded necks of bottles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
An adapter for a standard siphon head employed on an unthreaded neck of a bottle having an annular lip for dispensing carbonated liquids which comprises a pliable collar having outer threads for installation into said standard siphon head and an inner pliable annular wall for installation onto said unthreaded neck of said bottle below and engagement with said annular lip, in further combination with means between said outer threads and said wall for applying inward sealing pressure against said wall, so that said bottle can be emptied of said liquid through said siphon head without further loss of said carbonation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
An adapter for a standard siphon head employed on an unthreaded neck of a bottle having an annular lip for dispensing carbonated liquids which comprises a pliable collar having outer threads for installation into said standard siphon head and an inner pliable annular wall for installation onto said unthreaded neck of said bottle below and engagement with said annular lip, in further combination with means between said outer threads and said wall for applying inward sealing pressure against said wall, so that said bottle can be emptied of said liquid through said siphon head without further loss of said carbonation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
108 words
An adapter as recited in claim 1, further said means comprise: (a) said collar having an annular tapered groove extending upwardly within, with an outer annular wall of said groove threaded; and (b) a tapered sleeve having outer threads for installation into said annular tapered groove of said collar and in engagement with said outer annular threaded wall of said groove so that when said sleeve is threaded within said annular tapered groove, said collar will move radially inwardly to seal said unthreaded neck to aid in preventing leakage of said carbonation when installed thus allowing said collar to be installed on various siza unthreaded necks of bottles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
An adapter as recited in claim 2, wherein said tapered sleeve further comprises an annular flange extending outwardly from bottom thereof to aid in manually tightening said tapered sleeve into said annular tapered groove of said collar preventing leakage of said carbonation when installed.
