PCT No. PCT/GB81/00173 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 16, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 16, 1982 PCT Filed Aug. 28, 1981 PCT Pub. No. WO82/00778 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 18, 1982.Apparatus for gasifying a liquid with a fluid supplied in liquid form has a discharge conduit for the fluid in which there are one or more restricted cross-section flow paths in a material providing a heat source for converting the fluid to a dry gas. Sealing means are urged resiliently against the open lip of a liquid-filled container into which the discharge conduit projects. Control means for the discharge rate of the dry gas flow from the conduit limit the pressure rise in the container. The sealing means comprises portions of greater flexural compliance permitting excess pressure to be vented from the container. The apparatus may comprise two telescopically movable parts, one holding the liquid container and the other holding a sealed bulb of the gasifying fluid. Said container and bulb are mounted in the parts such that said telescoping movement adjusts itself to accommodate different sizes of container and capsule.
