Abstract (en)

A syphon head (304) is configured to fit over neck (350) of a bottle (352) in sealing relationship. A lever (340) is mounted to exterior surface (360) of body (362) by breakaway filaments and a spring strip. In use, the user pulls upward on lever (340) to rupture the filaments. The strip (230) pivots an end of lever (340) through opening (342) in body (362) and through actuating rod (348). Actuating rod (348) is attached to interior surface of the body (362) by a resilient diaphragm. Raised portion (324) on resilient sealing member (318) seals an opening in syphon tube (310) until force on handle (349) moves rod (348) to allow dispensing of seltzer water (356). Head (304) may be fabricated in a single injection molding step. Head (304) is removably attached to the bottle (352). The bottle (352) is shipped with a cap over neck (350). The user removes the cap and attaches the head (304) for dispensing the seltzer water (356). Head (304) may be reused with other bottes (352). A filling apparatus (420) and method comprising a cradle (426) receiving the bottle and a syphon filling head (348).
