MARTHA VON TRAUTMANN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

ATOMIZER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 20, 1910.

Application filed June 24, 1910. Serial No. 568,636.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTHA VON TRAUT- MANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Atomizers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an atomizer of novel construction which effects a very minute reduction and wide distribution of the liquid to be sprayed.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a side elevation of an atomizer embodying my invention, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the nozzle, Fig. 3 a section on line 3-3, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 a bottom view of the cup.

The nozzle of the atomizer consists essentially of adisk 10, which forms the bottom of acup 11, and extends laterally beyond said cup to form an upper circumferential groove orchannel 12. This channel communicates with the interior of the cup by means of a series ofliquid ducts 13 passing through the wall of the cup, directly abovedisk 10.

The lower face ofdisk 10, has a beveled edge 14:, and within this edge are formed a series of upwardly directed steam orgas ports 15. Fromdisk 10, there depends ahollow stem 16 havingupper perforations 17. Uponstem 16 is mounted acollar 18 which is adapted to be held against the lower face ofdisk 10, by means of ascrew coupling 19, engaging the lower threaded end ofstem 16, awasher 20 being preferably interposed between collar and coupling. The top ofcollar 18 is dished to form an annular chamber 21 betweendisk 10 andcollar 18, said chamber being entered into byperforations 17, and also byports 15.

The apparatus with which the nozzle is used, is shown to be of the following con struction: Aframe 22 supports awater boiler 23, heated by lamp 2 1. Asteam pipe 25 connectsboiler 23 with asuperheater 26 heated bylamp 27. Superheater 26 is in turn bypipe 28, andcoupling 19 connected tostem 16. Uponframe 22 is further supported by arms 29, atank 30 adapted to contain a suitable medicinal or odoriferous liquid.Tank 30, communicates by avalvecontrolled pipe 31, withcup 11, said cup having a flangedupper inlet aperture 32, for the reception of said pipe.

In use the superheated steam, or other suitable gas under pressure flowing frompipe 28 intohollow stem 16, passes throughopenings 17 into annular chamber 21, and is thence ejected throughports 15 in the form of a series of upwardly directed jets. The liquid to be atomized flows fromtank 30 and pipe 31 intocup 11, and thence throughducts 13 into theannular groove 12. Here the liquid meets the steam or gas jets emitted throughports 15, and is by said jets thoroughly atomized, in the form of a fine spray or cloud. Owing tp the effective reduction and general diffusion obtained by the apparatus, it is specially adapted for disinfecting and similar medical purposes, though it may of course be used equally well for the toilet.

I claim:

1. An atomizer comprising an apertured cup, a disk forming the bottom thereof, a hollow stem depending from the disk, a collar mounted upon said stem, and having a dished top to form an annular chamber between collar and disk, ports connecting the interior of the stem with said chamber, and ports leading out of said chamber.

2. An atomizer comprising a cup, a disk forming the bottom thereof and extending beyond the wall of the cup to form an upper groove, liquid ducts passing through said cup into said groove, and gas ports cooperating with the liquid ducts.

3. An atomizer comprising an apertured cup, a laterally extending beveled disk forming the bottom thereof, ports formed in the beveled disk, a hollow apertured stem depending from the disk, and a dished collar mounted on the stem.

1. An atomizer comprising an apertured cup, a liquid tank communicating therewith, a laterally extending disk forming the bottom of the cup, a hollow stem depending from the disk, a dished collar mounted on the stem, and forming an annular chamber intermediate collar and disk, ducts connecting the interior of the stem with said chamber, ports leading out of said chamber, and a steam or gas pipe connected to the stem.
