Sir′up-stand.

An attachment to a soda-water apparatus, to supply the tumblers with sirups. Some have faucets connecting with the separate sirup reservoirs; others have pistons acting as miniature pumps. In the example, the case has a hinged cover, kept in place by projections, and contains earthen sirup-jars and a cooling-chamber for the soda-water, each surrounded by ice. The sirup-faucets are lined with glass, and secured to the jars by a screw and rubber packing.
