A pressurizing cap which may be readily attached and detached from the discharge neck of a bottle of carbonated liquid includes a housing having a first chamber proximate one end thereof and a skirt portion at an opposite end thereof which engages the bottle\s neck. The first chamber retains a pressurized canister of innoxious gas such as carbon dioxide. The housing also comprises a second chamber. A first conduit leads from the first chamber to the second chamber, and a second conduit leads from the second chamber to the neck portion of the bottle. Means are provided within the second chamber for selectively connecting the first and second conduits whereby gas is released into the bottle. Liquid discharge means may also be provided which comprises a nozzle extending from the housing and a tube coupled at one end thereof to the nozzle and having an opposite end in communication with the liquid in the bottle. The cap is collinearaly mounted with the neck of the bottle.

A pressurizing cap which may be readily attached and detached from the discharge neck of a bottle of carbonated liquid, said cap comprising: a housing having a first chamber proximate an upper end thereof and a skirt portion at an opposite end thereof for detachably engaging said neck, said first chamber for retaining a pressurized canister of innoxious gas; a second chamber within said housing; a first conduit from said first chamber to said second chamber; a second conduit from said second chamber to said neck portion; and valve means for selectively connecting said first conduit to said second conduit whereby said gas is released into said bottle, said valve means comprising a piston slidably coupled within said second chamber and capable of being maneuvered between a first position wherein communication between said first and second conduits is blocked and a second position wherein gas from said first conduit will flow through said second conduit; a piston rod fixedly coupled to said piston and extending to the exterior of said housing; spring means coupled within said chamber for normally biasing said piston into said first position; and a handle pivotally coupled to said housing and engaging said piston rod for moving said piston to said second position.
