<p>An appliance for making an aerated beverage including a casing (10) a connection (13,14) carried by the casing for mounting a container (12) of pressurized liquid carbon dioxide, a transparent shatterproof housing (52) for a bottle of water carried by said casing, a nozzle (18) communicating with the connection and extending from the support member downwardly within the housing, a stopper for engaging in the neck of a bottle and a table base (64) for supporting the bottle (80) in the housing so that the stopper is engaged in its neck. A manually operable valve (32) allows carbon dioxide to flow from the container (12) to the nozzle and a safety pressure valve (42) is connected to the interior of the bottle when the stopper is engaged in its neck. A bulb (82) illuminates the bottle at least while the water therein is being aerated, the illumination being picked up by the bubbles of carbon dioxide and giving a pleasing visual effect.</p> |
