Abstract
A syphon head (10) is configured to fit over neck (17) of a bottle (19) in sealing relationship. A lever (22) is mounted to exterior surface (13) of body (12) by breakaway filaments (26, 28) and a spring strip (30). In use, the user pulls upward on handle (80) of lever (22) to rupture the filaments (26, 28). The strip (30) pivots end (48) on lever (22) through opening (78) in body (12) and into cavity (46) in actuating rod (38). Actuating rod (38) is attached to interior surface (20) of the body (12) by resilient diaphragm (40). Rod tip (57) seals opening (59) in syphon tube (56) until force on handle (80) moves rod (38) to allow dispensing of seltzer water (76). Head (10) may be fabricated in a single injection molding step.
