Figure VII. JVLLIEN'S SYPHON. 



The use of this is for the transferring of wine from one bottle to 

 another. The syphon a, is introduced into the bottle to be drawn off, 

 up to the conical cork h, which must close the neck perfectly, and 

 allow the end of the syphon c, to touch the upper side of the bulge of 

 the bottle. This syphon terminates outwardly in a beak d, and is 

 opened and closed at will by the faucet or screw c. The wine enters 

 the syphon by small holes made in g near the cork h. A small horn 

 or hook h, is soldered to the beak of the s3T)hon to receive the loop of 

 wire j, by which the small funnel k is fastened to the syphon. The 

 screw t, should be open when the syphon is introduced into the bottle. 



A. The syphon. 



B. The funnel. The neck of the syphon fits to the mouth I, of 

 the funnel ; and is fastened by the wire-loop j, to the small horn h 

 of the syphon. The extremity m of the funnel is curved bo as to 

 lead the wine against the side of the bottle. The funnel must be 

 made fast before the operation is begun, and, should not be moved 

 until the drawing off is over.
