Abstract:
A portable ultrasonic cosmetic applicator for spraying lip gloss, eye shadow, blush, tanning solutions, moisturizing agents, and sterilants onto the body or face. Useful for wound healing, makeup artists in the movie industry, beauty salons, and for personal use. The applicator is small and lightweight thus making it easy to use without the use of external air pressure more commonly used with airbrush spraying equipment of this type. Noisy compressors, pressurized cylinders and air lines are all eliminated. The amount of unused solutions are reduced due to its ability to produce a smaller and more uniform droplet size which, in turn, produces a fine misty spray unlike some of the more traditional applicators. Due to its lack of complexity and awkwardness, the user is able to apply liquid in a simple and graceful manner.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Cosmetics have been around for over 3000 years. The Egyptians were the first to use pigments, crushed berries and leaves, and the upper class would purchase makeup from incoming travelers. This not only cost a great deal of money for that time period, but took up to a month or longer to make. At first, men would use makeup by applying galena or kohl (black eye-liner) to create an “almond shaped eye” which resembles the Falcon Eye of the God Horus. Women then began to experiment with the use of cosmetics. These substances were applied with a small stick or wooden needle having an enlarged end, creating a cotton bud shape. Along with black eye-liner, the men of ancient Egypt applied green eye shadow/paints, and a lip balm or salve colored with natural earth pigments, such as red ochre. 
     It was said that the natives believed makeup would ward off evil spirits and protect against eye diseases and ocular infections caused by the Nile River. Kohl promoted the production of nitric oxide in the skin which strengthened their immune systems. In addition, they soon learned that the soot found in kohl helped to reduce the damaging effects of sun glare on the eyes. After the ancient Egyptians discovered the use of cosmetics, word began to spread and new ideas began to form. 
     Airbrush, in general, was first established by a man named Abner Peeler in 1879 by using mostly spare parts from a jewelers workshop. Four years later, a company by the name of Liberty Walkup began marketing his invention. In 1893, Thayer and Chandler art materials presented the first known modern airbrush at the World&#39;s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. At the time, the airbrush invention had the sleek look of a pen and its functionality was extremely similar to recent airbrush machines in today&#39;s society. 1958 began the production of the film Ben-Hur which was completed in 1959 by MGM Studios. Cosmetics were applied using airbrush during the set of this world renowned film. Makeup artists were instructed to apply faux tans for the thousands of actors who played minor roles acting the part of Romans. The idea of using airbrush to apply a makeshift foundation worked surprisingly well. It was found that by using an airbrush, one can spray cosmetics more precisely, lighter, and more efficiently. Airbrush soon became a popular method of applying cosmetics in Hollywood studios in the mid 1970s. Soon, it made its way into hair and beauty trade shows, and the Bal Masque competitions. Nowadays, airbrush is commonly used for creating temporary tattoos, conventional makeup, fantasy makeup, body art, fingernail art, hair color, and airbrush tanning. 
     Sonaer has been making ultrasonic atomizers nozzles since 1997. An ultrasonic atomizer nozzle works by the same principal of wave motion as all other ultrasonic devices such as liquid processors, welders, surgical tools, dental instruments, and the like. It is no secret that an atomizer nozzle is any one of the above-mentioned devices, its only difference being that it is made with a hole through the center, or a plurality of holes for spraying a liquid. One of the benefits of using an atomizer nozzle, is the fact that finer droplets are easily produced, spray is more uniform with a narrow droplet distribution, and the application of liquid is more efficient when expelled from the tip end—all this without the use of air pressure. Knowing the advantages of an atomizer nozzle design and function, I have invented a cosmetic applicator that contains within an ultrasonic atomizer nozzle that does not include the center hole. Along with the atomizer nozzle, I have invented an applicator handpiece that includes a method of threading a small bottle of solution to the top of the applicator. The solution can be any liquid being sprayed. At the rear of the applicator is an elastic bulb for applying a small amount of pressure within the bottle forcing the solution inside to move through a small orifice within the applicator to the atomizer tip. Contained along the side of the applicator is a method of turning on the ultrasonic power, opening a valve for solutions to be sprayed, and a mechanism for disabling all functions when released. This is truly a unique and novel method for spraying cosmetics and other solutions since it is small, lightweight, and contains all necessary functions of delivering solutions to the tip end without a liquid pump, compressed air supply, tubing, or the necessity of an electric supply as is commonly used in other inventions. It is portable and, therefore, perfect for treating wounds in deserts, mountains, jungles and far reaches of the world where there may be no electricity. It is also very useful for quick and accurate spraying of tanning solutions, and cosmetics, with the device able to be pointed up, down, or held on its side without spilling. This is why the invention I disclose is unique and novel, and is not inherent in the inventions presented by Peterson, Federov and Tranchant identified below. 
     In reference to Peterson et al, Removable Multi-Channel Applicator Nozzle, publication US 2009/0043248, dated Feb. 12, 2009 demonstrates an ultrasonic device with a delivery well and ultrasonic generator for making sprays from liquids. Although this device can spray liquids, we have found that a gravity feed is insufficient in regulating the flow of solution to the tip of the atomizer nozzle. In part, the top of the fluid source (114) needs to maintained level to the ground at all times and open to prevent air from being trapped and help promote flow. Any tilting or tugging of the transducer assembly (108) will create a potential of solution being spilled. A method of preventing spillage is to fix the fluid source upright and include a longer tubing (116). As with all devices with cords and tubing, these devices are fairly limited in their ability to maneuver without it getting in the way of the task at hand. Inventors can modify Peterson&#39;s device and configure a cart with wheels to house the generator (119) and fix the fluid source (114). It would prove to be quite cumbersome to use this equipment in an environment with irregular terrain such as a battlefield or outside where there is no electricity to plug into. 
     The invention I am disclosing alleviates all of the shortcomings in Peterson&#39;s invention with the ability to freely move about in offices and outside without the need for carts, gravity feed, cords, tubes or plug-in electricity. One can take my invention presented and spray solutions anywhere quite easily, and when finished, simply place it in a shirt pocket due to its novel design and structural differences presented in this disclosure. 
     Referring to Federov, Spraying Device Apparatus, U.S. Pat. No. 8,096,489 B2, dated Jan. 17, 2012 demonstrates an air brush (10) with a valve switch plate or trigger (30) that pivots on pair of projections (60) to move a needle (48) within an air chamber (33) releasing fluid in a tank (34) and air pressure through air connector (40) to spray solution through a nozzle (22) with spring (84) closing the device when released. At first glance the device appears to be no more than a spray gun for painting automobiles with injection molded parts that look complex. The invention presented does encompass some features presented in my invention. By using laser light, the scattering and measuring of droplets produced with compressed air devices are larger than droplets produced by ultrasonic devices with a very wide distribution of droplets. In general, finer more uniform droplets will cover objects with softer smoother surfaces, and can be applied to areas that are narrow such as within fine lines and wrinkles, or into cellular layers to promote healing. The invention Fedorov discloses uses compressed air delivered via a compressor. Since in order to spray droplets through this type of nozzle, significantly higher pressure is required to atomize liquid (perhaps as high as 40-60 PSI), which requires an air line thus making this invention not portable. In addition, Federov&#39;s invention requires a hose making it cumbersome to use, and relies on electricity, therefore making it difficult to operate in remote areas. What I disclose, needs very low pressure integrated within the device by use of a elastic bulb and provides pressures typically around 1-2 PSI, facilitating spraying with its soft spray droplets. Another feature I am disclosing is the ability to change bottles of solution easily, without the need to clean the tank as in Federov&#39;s invention. Yet another feature I disclose is the presence of a valve switch plate that encompasses both a method of releasing solution to the atomizer probe tip, which enables electrical connection to the ultrasonic device, and has a method of closing the flow of solutions all integrated into one simple mechanism. Federov does not demonstrate this ability of a multi-functional mechanism. 
     Referring to Tranchant et al, Spray Device Having A Piezoelectric Element, And Use Thereof In Cosmetology And Perfumery, U.S. Pat. No. 8,061,629 B2, dated Nov. 22, 2011 discloses an ultrasonic device with a reservoir (2), wick (7), spray head assembly (3). Within the spray head (3) is a sonotrode (14). Solution is pulled through the wick (7) up to the vibrating sonotrode (14) and atomized. The piezoelectric element (13) is in the order of 1.7 mm. This configuration with the wick (7) is made like a loop and allows only a thin film of solution to be atomized, it is, therefore, not useful for large areas to be covered, as the body. However, Tranchant&#39;s invention is useful for small volumes of solutions to be deposited, like expensive perfumes. Tranchant&#39;s invention is required to operate level to the ground, preventing over saturation of the wick (7) rendering it not operational, should it become saturated. In addition, fluids are not interchangeable since the wick (7) is fixed and is not designed to be rugged for rough environments. 
     The invention I am disclosing alleviates the shortcomings of the above-cited previous inventions due to its multi-functional lever mechanism; its interchangeable bottle containing solutions; its absence of compressed air supply which eliminates cords, pumps, and tubes; its ability to operate in various environments due to its lightweight nature, along with its ability to be held upright, on an angle, or upside down without the possibility of leakage. 
     OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The object of the invention is to use the latest formulation of cosmetics or solutions to efficiently spray and direct small uniform droplets onto the skin&#39;s surface. It is also the object of the disclosed invention to complete the above-mentioned task without the use of an air hose, pressurized cylinder, pump, or compressor as is commonly used with airbrushing or atomization. Airbrushing is considered to be state-of-the-art in applying today&#39;s cosmetics. Normally, with an airbrush, paint or cosmetic is held in a glass container attached to the handpiece that is shaped like a pen and is easy to hold, just like Federov&#39;s invention. A compressor located in an area away from the user supplies pressurized air to the airbrush through a tube attached to the airbrush handpiece. A button is pressed activating a valve to direct air to the tip of the handpiece. This is used to pick up the solution or cosmetic to be sprayed. The liquid air mixture leaves the airbrush with a velocity and angle based on the pressure and tip configuration. The user has to constantly maneuver the airbrush to keep the tube from getting in the way of the subject being covered. 
     Atomizer nozzles that Sonaer makes have piezoceramics sandwiched between two end masses. The ceramics convert an alternating voltage applied to the ceramics to mechanical motion. This motion is amplified by the shape of the end mass or tip. Usually, a smaller diameter end mass amplifies the motion of the ceramics and a larger diameter end mass reduces the motion. Through the center of the atomizer nozzle is an orifice with a means of connecting a liquid line at the back of the nozzle. As liquid is pumped through the center of the probe, mechanical vibrations like that of a piston, pulverize the liquid into a fine droplets. Many droplets that reach the tip are formed into a spray. The sprays for this type of atomization are known to be finer and more uniform than air pressurized, water pressurized, and all other methods of mechanical spray. The fine spray is derived from the frequency of the nozzle. Typically, a nozzle with a higher frequency makes a smaller droplet size than one of a lower frequency. Any atomizer nozzle in the frequency range of 20,000 Hz and higher will make smaller droplets than a mechanical device that spins or vibrates at a frequency lower than 20,000 Hz, including air and liquid assisted atomization. 
     With the invention I am presenting, the user does not have to worry about an awkward air supply tube which will get in the way, or the adjustment of air pressure to the airbrush. Atomizer nozzles which function with liquid being pumped through the center are also not needed. Using skills learned in the trade of airbrushing cosmetics, this invention alleviates the obstacles of conventional airbrushing and atomization, and allows the applicant to create a soft delicate spray of material that is uniform and soothing by using the principals and properties of ultrasonics. The proposed cosmetic applicator is small and portable and has within a means to provide a small amount of air pressure along with other mechanisms which work in unison to create an improved method for spraying solutions. A further understanding of this invention will be better realized by the detailed description of the embodiments below.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
     Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout, there is illustrated in  FIG. 1 , an ultrasonic cosmetic applicator  10  for spraying atomized droplets made from cosmetic materials and solutions, onto the body or face. The cosmetic applicator  10  has a back cover  20  which covers the internal components and helps with assembly. It has attached an elastic bulb  25 . The elastic bulb  25  is pressed by the users finger to apply a small pressure into the bottle  45 . This pressure aids in spraying the material emitted from the distal end  60 . Internal components within the cosmetic applicator  10  are loaded from the back cover  20  of the cosmetic applicator  10  up to the distal end  60  where they are secured inside the unit. Along the length of the cosmetic applicator  10  is the frontal control mechanism  30 . The frontal control mechanism  30  contains many features that make the cosmetic applicator  10  function as will be further discussed. At the distal end  60  is a liquid delivery well  40  that has a means of securing a bottle  45 . The bottle  45  contains the cosmetic material or solution to be sprayed. At the bottom of the liquid delivery well  40  and moving to the distal end  60  is a liquid delivery orifice  50  and a air inlet orifice, not shown in this drawing. The liquid delivery orifice  50  directs the cosmetic to the distal end  60  from the liquid delivery well  40  where the liquid is made into droplets for spraying. Once the liquid delivery well  40  is filled with cosmetic liquid or solution from the bottle  45 , the unit is ready to spray cosmetics and or solutions onto the body and face. 
     In reference to  FIG. 2  of the disclosed invention presented, is a detailed view of the components necessary for this device to operate as a handheld unit without air pressure, and or pumps or compressors that is commonly used with an airbrush as we have seen by the other inventions. The main body of the cosmetic applicator  10  contains within several main components that enable this device to work. The cosmetic applicator  10  has within an atomizer device  130 , an air tube  145 , a one way check valve  115 , a circuit board  120 , and batteries  110 . External to the cosmetic applicator  10  is a valve switch plate  170  along with associated parts such as a back cover  20 , elastic bulb  25 , and a bottle  45 , which make up the bulk of components needed for this invention to work. The atomizer device  130  is a typical sandwich transducer that has been is well-known since the 1960&#39;s. It is made up of three basic components. The first is the center piezoelectric ceramics  100  compressed between two end masses. These end masses are labeled the rear driver  90  and the front driver  140 . Together they make up a resonant body which vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies. Typically these frequencies are between 20,000 cycles per second, and up as high a 500,000 cycles per second. These three component parts make up the ultrasonic atomizer device  130  and is well known in the industry. This application will not focus on the atomizer device  130  and will only be discussed briefly since this application is not teaching anything that is not already known in the field of ultrasonics. To power the ultrasonic atomizer device  130  is a driver circuit board  120  with integrated circuit chips that make up an oscillator, power amplifier, and control circuit all of which are also well known. Energy to operate the system is derived from batteries  110 , and all the component parts listed above are enclosed into the cosmetic applicator  10 , by use of a rear cover  20 . The focus of this invention will be how the following pieces work together: The valve switch plate  170 , and how it works with the bottle  45  containing the cosmetic or solution, the elastic bulb  25 , one way check valve  115 , the air tube  145  and the distal end  60  of the atomizer. 
     First we will examine the valve switch plate  170  and how this piece functions in conjunction with liquid delivery and ultrasonic atomization. The valve switch plate  170  has a valve pin  180  attached and is actually a part of the valve. During assembly, the valve switch plate  170  is secured to the cosmetic applicator&#39;s  10  frontal control mechanism  30  by use of a roll pin  200 , and a through-hole  325 . This method allows the valve switch plate  170  to pivot like a seesaw at the point where the roll pin  200  connects to the cosmetic applicator&#39;s  10  frontal control mechanism  30  via through-hole  325 . A spring  160  is placed between the valve switch plate  170  and the frontal control mechanism  30  into a counter bore  168 . The spring  160  is secured in position while operating the cosmetic applicator  10  with the assembly of the roll pin  200  into hole  325 . While applying a force to the side  165  of the valve switch plate  170  opposite the spring  160 , the valve pin  180  will move away form the frontal control mechanism  30  of the cosmetic applicator  10 . With this force applied by the user, the spring  160  compresses, the valve switch plate  170  pivots, and valve pin  180  slides inside the frontal control mechanism  30  of the cosmetic applicator  10 . The valve switch plate  170  is kept in place in the frontal control mechanism  30  with the valve pin  180  mounted in the valve relief hole  270  (Shown in  FIG. 2 .). As one side of the valve switch plate  170  goes up the other goes down and vice-versa. During this period of movement, the valve pin  180  of the valve switch plate  170  will open and close a liquid delivery orifice  50  that bridges from the front portion  60  and the liquid bottle  45 . With the valve switch plate  170  open, cosmetics or solutions will flow through the orifice  50  from the bottle  45  onto the distal tip  150  of the atomizer device  130  which is flush with the distal end  60 . At the same time the valve switch plate  170  opens, contact  155  engages connection in the frontal control mechanism  30  enabling power to the driver circuit board  120 , which in turn powers up the atomizer device  130  creating ultrasonic vibration and atomization of the liquid deposited on the distal tip  150  at the distal end  60  of the cosmetic applicator  10 . 
     Another component of the disclosed invention is the pressurizing mechanism. This is comprised of the elastic bulb  25 , one way check valve  115  and the air tube  145 . Each component part is fixed to one another to prevent any air leaks during use. The air tube  145  is fixed to the one way check valve  115 , the one way check valve is firmly fixed to the elastic bulb  25 , and the elastic bulb  25  is fixed to the rear cover  20  of the cosmetic applicator  10 . Before cosmetics or solutions can be sprayed, the bottle  45  needs to be pressurized. This is accomplished by the user by placing his or her finger onto the elastic bulb  25 . Squeezing or pushing the elastic bulb  25  towards the rear cover  20 , compresses air within a cavity made in the bulb. This air is injected through the one way check valve  115 , then through the air tube  145  mounted inside frontal control mechanism  30  of the cosmetic applicator  10 , and is then deposited within the liquid delivery well  40  as it pressurizes the cosmetic or solution within the bottle  45 . The pressure is maintained within the bottle  45  due to the design of the one way check valve  115 . Just as the name means the one way check valve  115  only allows air to move through in one direction and not through in the opposite direction. This air that pressurizes the bottle  45  is maintained and is sealed to prevent leaking. After the user pressurizes the bottle  45  by compressing the elastic bulb  25 , the unit is ready for use. The user can now grip the body of the cosmetic applicator  10  with the one&#39;s finger against the side  165  of the valve switch plate  170 . Pressing the side  165  moves the valve switch plate  170  towards the frontal control mechanism  30  by a pivoting action. This pivoting action creates electrical contact  155  with contacts inside of the frontal control mechanism  30  (not shown in this view), thus energizing the atomizer device  130 . At the same time the valve pin  180  moves away from the frontal control mechanism  30 , opening a pathway from the bottle  45  and the liquid delivery orifice  50 . Pressure built within the bottle  45 , forces cosmetics or solution through the liquid delivery orifice  50  and onto the distal tip end  150  of the atomizer device  130  where vibration produced by the atomizer device pulverizes the solution into uniform nano and micron droplets. These droplets are small and uniform and are easily deposited onto the skin&#39;s surface with a velocity produced by two components. The first component is the release of pressurized cosmetic or solution produced inside the bottle  45 , and the other is the velocity generated by the atomizer device which equals 2πfA, where f is the frequency of the atomizer device  130 , and A is the amplitude of the atomizer device  130  at the distal tip end  150 . The combination of the two forces produced is great enough to spray droplets onto the surface of the skin, provide excellent coverage, more uniform droplet size with a narrow distribution, thus making the invention I am disclosing portable by nature, and able to be used in various environments. 
     In reference to  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4  of the disclosed invention is a side profile of the cosmetic applicator  10 , beneath that a spring  160 , a roll pin  200 , and a valve switch plate  170  ( FIG. 4 ). These are the components that make up the valve and switch connection that activates ultrasonic power creating atomization from cosmetics and solutions by releasing them from the bottle  45 . Reviewing the cosmetic applicator  10 , there are two electrical connections  220  and  230  built into the frontal control mechanism  30 . One has a wire connection to the printed circuit board inside the unit, and one to the batteries, as shown in  FIG. 2 . When contact is made between the electrical contact  220 ,  230  and  245  (Shown in  FIG. 4 .), power from the batteries energize the PCB which in turn powers up circuits and thus causes the atomizer device to vibrate. On the right of the electrical connections  220  and  230  of the frontal control mechanism  30 , is a counter bore  240 , a pivoting slot  250 , and roll pin hole  260 . Moving further to the right of the pivoting slot  250  is the liquid delivery well  40  and the valve relief hole  270 . On top of the liquid delivery well  40  is the bottle  45  containing the cosmetics or solutions. In  FIG. 4 , the valve switch plate  170  has made within a valve pin  180 , a pivoting boss  290 , a counter bore  168 , and electrical contact  245 . The electrical contact  245  has a top portion  225  and a bottom portion  235 . Distance between the top portion  225  and the bottom portion  235 , bridges electrical connections  220  and  230  of the frontal control mechanism  30 . Fitment of these components and how they function will be better understood further in this disclosure. The valve switch plate has a distal end  210 , and a near end  215 . On the near end  215  is a valve pin  180 . On the distal end  210 , is an electrical contact  245 . The construction of the valve switch plate  170  is typically plastic, thus making it low cost and easily made by injection molding. The valve switch plate  170  on the near end  215  has a valve pin  180  that fits into a valve relief hole  270  within the frontal control mechanism  30 . Between the near end  215  and the distal end  210  of the valve switch plate  170  is a counter bore  168 . The counter bore  168  aligns evenly with the counter bore  240  within the frontal control mechanism and fitted within counter bores  168  and  240  is a spring  160 . Fixing the valve switch plate  170  to the frontal control mechanism  30  is accomplished by aligning hole  325  with the roll pin hole  260  and inserting the roll pin  200  securing the two pieces together. With the assembly fitted together the valve switch plate  170  can now move in a out as a lever with a fulcrum. The lever is the valve switch plate  170  and the fulcrum is the pivoting boss  290  shown on the valve switch plate  170 . As one side  315  of the valve switch plate  170  moves in, the opposite end  335  moves out. When the one side  315  of the valve switch plate  170  moves in, the spring  160  compresses and contact is made between electrical contacts  245 ,  220 , and  230  energizing the system. At the same time, the valve pin  180  is pulled out from the valve relief hole  270  opening an orifice causing the cosmetic or liquid to flow, which is made into a mist or spray. Releasing the side  315  of the valve switch plate  170  will push the side  315  away from the electrical contact  220  and  230  and at the same time push in the valve pin  180  back into the valve relief hole  270  closing the flow of cosmetic or liquid and shutting off the spray. The invention I am disclosing demonstrates the uniqueness of the design due to it multi-functional fulcrum mechanism which enables ultrasonic energy to open a valve for easily spraying cosmetics and solutions. 
     In reference the  FIG. 5  of the disclosed invention is a front view of the cosmetic applicator  10 . Located on the top of the cosmetic applicator  10  is a bottle  45 . The bottle  45  contains cosmetics or solutions to be sprayed. The bottle  45  is attached to the cosmetic applicator by screwing into a liquid delivery well  40  built into the frontal control mechanism  30 . The frontal control mechanism  30  encompasses the valve switch plate  170 , the spring  160  and the roll pin  200 . Located on the distal end  60 , of the front portion of the frontal control mechanism  30  is the liquid delivery orifice  50  and flush with the distal end  60  is the distal tip end  150  of the atomizer device  130  as shown in  FIG. 2 . 
     In reference to  FIG. 6  of the disclosed invention is a cutaway side view of the cosmetic applicator  10 . It has within an electronics compartment  420 , transducer channel  430 , an air channel  435  which leads into another air channel  445 , which leads into a liquid delivery well  40 , and then into a bottle  45 . The cosmetic applicator  10  has a distal end  60  and a rear cover  20 . Attached to the rear cover  20  is an elastic bulb  25 . On the distal end  60  is a liquid delivery orifice  50  with a valve relief hole  270 . The valve relief hole  270  is located between the distal end  60  of the frontal control mechanism  30  and the liquid delivery well  40 . Through the transducer channel  430  the distal tip end  150  of the atomizer device  130  (shown in  FIG. 2 ) is secured flush with the distal tip portion  350 . Before cosmetics or solutions can be sprayed, the elastic bulb  25  is pressed to force air through air channel  435  and into air channel  445 , which in turn enters the liquid delivery well  40  and pressurizes the bottle  45  that contains the liquid. When the valve switch plate  170  (shown in  FIGS. 2 and 4 ) is pressed, the valve pin  180  moves within the valve relief hole  270 , opening the pathway from the bottle  45  attached to the liquid delivery well  40  and directly into the liquid delivery orifice  50 . The pressure within the bottle  45  forces the solution out of the bottle  45  and through the liquid delivery orifice  50  and is then deposited onto the distal tip portion  350  where atomization takes place. Releasing the valve switch plate shuts all functions off and is ready for the next spraying routine. 
     Lastly in reference to  FIG. 7  of the cosmetic applicator  10  shows the unit held in ones hand  540  between the thumb  530  and the index finger  510 . After attaching the bottle  45  containing cosmetic, the index finger  510  is used to press the valve switch plate  170  to activate the ultrasonic atomizer device  130  both shown in  FIG. 2 . If one is left handed, the thumb is used to activate the cosmetic applicator  10 . While activating the cosmetic applicator  10 , cosmetics within the liquid delivery well  40  will flow to the distal tip portion  350  where it is atomized into fine droplets  490 . The fine droplets  490  are smaller than airbrush sprayers thus less solution is used during the application process. The closer the cosmetic applicator  10 , is held to the subject, the smaller the circular spray patterns of droplets will be, while as the cosmetic applicator  10  is pulled away from the subject, the circular pattern of droplets will become larger. 
     Each component works in unison and each component cannot work without the other. The uniqueness of this invention becomes evident by its versatility. This cosmetic applicator can operate in safe environments or harsh environments alike. Using the principles and properties of ultrasonics integrated with a simple machine while using a method of changing and securing fluids, I was able to provide a hand-generated pressure mechanism to improve the way makeup is applied today. 
     In good faith, I the inventor, am demonstrating the ability to atomize cosmetics using an ultrasonic atomizer that is commonly known and manufactured by Sonaer. Other configurations can be made to the cosmetic applicator such as adding additional features like hand grips, a hand trigger, a desktop holder, and the like. I am demonstrating and teaching the ability to spray liquids, cosmetics and solutions, without the use of pumps, compressors, and tubing that is commonly needed with air brushes and other inventions cited in this disclosure. A unique mechanism has been designed that will enable ultrasonic energy to release cosmetics or solutions for the spraying of fine droplets on to the face or body by a means that is portable and easy to use, efficient by nature since it uses less solution, and more accurate since it is lightweight and has no attachments thus making the end result more captivating.
