Abstract:
1. An electrostatically atomizing device comprising: an emitter electrode; a liquid supplying means for supplying a liquid to said emitter electrode; an opposed electrode disposed in an opposed relation to said emitter electrode; an atomizing barrel surrounding said emitter electrode and supporting said opposed electrode; a high voltage source configured to apply a high voltage between said emitter electrode and said opposed electrode so as to atomize the liquid supplied to the emitter electrode at a tip of the emitter electrode into a mist of charged minute particles which is discharged from the tip of the emitter electrode to flow through said opposed electrode out of a front end of said atomizing barrel, a silencer duct with a sound absorbing section is provided at the front end of said atomizing barrel for passing the mist of the charged minute particles out through said silencer duct, wherein said silencer duct comprises an outer tube and a perforated inner tube, and said sound absorbing section is defined by a sound absorber held between said outer tube and said inner tube, and wherein said inner tube is formed at its peripheral wall with an aperture, and said aperture extends from said sound absorber to an inside of the inner tube.
