Abstract:
1. An atomizing device comprising: a casing having a leading end portion, a release opening disposed on an opposite end of said casing from said leading end portion, an air inlet opening, and a tapered surface extending between said air inlet opening and said release opening, said air inlet opening being substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said casing and extending between said release opening and said leading end portion; discharging means provided within said releasing opening of said casing and having at least one discharge head for discharging a liquid matter as droplets from a nozzle communicating with a cavity defined between said air inlet opening and said release opening by driving an actuator to change pressure within said cavity filled with said liquid matter; atomizing means provided within said casing for atomizing the droplets discharged from said discharging means; a storage cartridge disposed along said longitudinal axis for storing said liquid matter, said storage cartridge including a pierced portion for piercing said storage cartridge and communicating said liquid matter to said discharging means through a supply pipe formed in said casing; a control means disposed along said longitudinal axis for controlling said discharging means and said atomizing means; and a power supply disposed along said longitudinal axis between said control means and said storage cartridge for supplying power to said discharge means and said atomizing means; wherein said atomized droplets of liquid matter are mixed with inlet air from said inlet air opening and are directed toward said release opening by said tapered surface within said cavity prior to said mixture of inlet air and atomized droplets being discharged from said release opening.
