Abstract
Carbonating apparatus includes a reservoir to be filled with fresh water through an outlet. Rotation of a control opens a valve, so that water passes from the reservoir into a pressure vessel. The control is then depressed to cause pressurized gas to be introduced into the water in the vessel, via a nozzle, from a gas cylinder, so as to carbonate the water. A slidably-operable control is then moved by an initial amount to cause a venting valve to open, thereby venting excess gas in the vessel to atmosphere. Further sliding movement of the slidably-operable control depresses a lever connected to an outlet valve, which permits dispensing of the carbonated water from the vessel, via a spout.
