Method and apparatus for the gasification of liquids employing a separable pressure vessel which is easily dismantled for cleaning. The pressure vessel is charged from a gas source and provided with a relief valve that prevents the charging pressure in the vessel from exceeding a maximum pressure. Gas is introduced into the pressure vessel through a sparging orifice with an end that is also easily removable for cleaning. The pressure vessel has an outlet employing a single piece dispensing lever which includes not only ribs for opening the valve at the base of the pressure vessel but also an integrally molded restoring spring which has a special configuration for consolidating many of the functions which required separate pieces in the prior art.

Apparatus for gasifying a fluid comprising a housing for a source of pressurization; a pressure chamber within said housing in controllable communication with said source; an inlet into said pressure chamber for the fluid to be pressurized; and an outlet from said pressure chamber for pressurized fluid; said pressure chamber having a relief valve that operates independently of the level of fluid therein whenever the pressure exceeds a prescribed level; wherein said pressure chamber has a valve at said inlet in the form of a trap door hinged within said chamber and connected to a lever extending outwardly through said inlet and contactable from the exterior of said apparatus. The method of gasifying a fluid which comprises the steps of: a. pouring fluid into a pressure chamber thru an inlet; b. closing said inlet to said pressure chamber by a valve pivotally positioned within said chamber using a lever extending through said inlet and outwardly into contact with a closing means; c. pressurizing the fluid in said pressure chamber from a charging source; d. relieving the pressure within said chamber whenever the pressure therein exceeds a prescribed level; and outwardly into contact with a closing source.
