PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Method of and Means for Automatically Spraying Liquids.
I, MAURICE MEYER of 50, Boulevard Haussmann, Paris, France, do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to spraying perfumes, disinfecting and other liquids
automatically by the pressure of gas in solution in the liquid.
My Invention consists essentially in saturating the liquid with a gas, carbonic
acid gas for example and introducing it under pressure into a bottle or container
provided with a discharge tube controlled by a cock or valve and terminating
externally in a spraying nozzle. The presence of the gas produces a two fold
effect upon the liquid a portion of the gas exerting a constant pressure upon the
surface of the liquid whereby to effect its discharge whilst the gas which is con-
tained in the liquid expands and on escaping from the spraying nozzle each
bubble of gas bursts thereby pulverizing the liquid which imprisoned it, the
liquid being thus projected into the atmosphere in the form of very fine spray
or mist.
The accompanying drawing illustrates an example of a bottle which may be
employed.
The liquid saturated with gas is introduced under pressure into the bottle a
closed by a cap b through which passes a discharge tube c which dips nearly
to the bottom of the bottle and is provided with a spraying nozzle d having one
or more minute orifices e and is controlled by a cock for by any suitable form of
valve such as that of an aerated-water syphon for regulating the discharge. The
bottle or container may be of any form or dimensions and the spraying nozzle
may be of any suitable kind. When used for continuously diffusing perfumes
or disinfectants the container would be made of appropriate form and have one
or more spraying nozzles suitably disposed, the vessel being concealed if desired
in any article of furniture, such as a flower-stand for example.

Improved Method of and Means for Automatically Spraying Liquids.
I, MAURICE MEYER of 50, Boulevard Haussmann, Paris, France, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this Invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
My Invention relates to spraying perfumes, disinfecting and other liquids
automatically by the pressure of gas in solution in the liquid.

liquid being thus projected into the atmosphere in the form of very fine spray
or mist. The drawing which accompanies my Provisional Specification illustrates
an example of a bottle which may be employed.
The liquid saturated with gas is introduced under pressure into the bottle a
closed by a cap 6 through which passes a discharge tube c which dips nearly
to the bottom of the bottle and is provided with a spraying nozzle d having one
or more minute orifices e and is controlled by a cock for by any suitable form of
valve such as that of an aerated-water syphon for regulating the discharge. The
bottle or container may be of any form or dimensions and the spraying nozzle
may be of any suitable kind. When used for continuously diffusing perfumes
or disinfectants the container would be made of appropriate form and have one
or more spraying nozzles suitably disposed, the vessel being concealed if desired
in any article of furniture such as a flower-stand for example.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. The herein described method of automatically spraying liquids which consists
in saturating the liquid with a gas and causing the liquid saturated with a gas
under pressure to be projected by the gaseous pressure through a minute orifice
as specified.
2. The combination, with a closed vessel having a discharge pipe dipping down
therein controlled by a cock or valve and terminating externally in a nozzle having
one or more minute discharge orifices, of a liquid contained within the vessel and
saturated with gas under pressure so as when discharged by the gaseous pressure
through the said orifice or orifices to be disseminated by the sudden expansion of
the dissolved or occluded gas in the form of spray or mist as specified.
