An Improvement in Sprays.
CLARENCE FENTON SLATER 20 Baker Street Portman Square, W.
Pharmaceutical Accessories Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
--
My invention has for its object to improve the construction of atomizers, sprays
or apparatus for diffusing or delivering liquid in the form of atoms, vapour, or a
cloud. I disclaim under this Patent any device combination or part of the
apparatus other than the arrangement of tubes at & about the immediate vicinity
of the point of atomization to be fully set forth in my Complete Specification.
My invention consists essentially in the following:
A wind conducting tube closed at one end & perforated at some convenient
point, for the purpose of emitting wind from the generating source, & abutting or
embraced by:
A solution conducting tube, which may be depressed grooved or drilled out in a
suitable manner according to the relative sizes of the tubes in order to attain the
required object: the wind conducting tube being firmly fixed in position to the
solution conducting tube at the point of perforation.
At a point in the solution conducting tube, a hole is drilled concentrically with
the perforation in the wind conducting tube, so that the air emitted through the
wind conducting tube, passes directly through the perforation in the solution
conducting tube, thereby drawing the solution to the point of atomization. In
order to produce this effect it is necessary that the perforation in the wind
conducting tube should be of smaller diameter than the perforation in the solution
conducting tube. By this means a better and more voluminous spray is produced
than has hitherto been obtained, and a device is constructed which cannot get out
of order by fair wear and tear, the small tubes or tapering parts usually employed
in these appliances being entirely dispensed with; a further advantage being that
the apparatus can be readily and thoroughly cleaned.
This improvement may be constructed in several forms, therefore I do not limit
myself to any particular design.

CLARENCE FENTON SLATER 20 Baker Street, Portman Square, London, W.
trading as Slater Bros. Pharmaceutical Accessories Manufacturers 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 an improved construction of atomizers sprays or apparatus
for diffusing or delivering liquid in the form of atoms, vapor or a spray.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which the sections
shown in Fig. 1, 2, & 3, are modifications of my said invention.

page_text: In atomizers as at present constructed the small tubes or tapering parts usually
employed in these apparatus being of a very fragil nature, easily become displaced
by usage or clogged by the medicaments frequently employed.
To obviate the difficulties iudicated above I first employ a wind conducting
tube A which I close at one end & perforate at a convenient point B (to be
hereinafter described) for the purpose of emitting wind from a generative source.
I next employ a tube C for the purpose of conducting the solution which I shape
to abutt (as in Fig. 2 & 3) or embrace (as in Fig. 1) the wind conducting tube A.
The solution conducting tube C I prefer to fit with a small plug E which can be
adjusted for cleansing purposes, although the said tube C may be either permanently
closed, if desired or continued (as shown at F in Fig. 1) so that both ends of the
said tube C rest in the solution.
The solution conducting tube C I firmly fix in position to the wind conducting
tube A. At a point D in the solution conducting tube C I drill through into the
wind-conducting tube A at B so that the air emitted through the perforation B in
the wind conducting tube A passes directly through the perforation D in the
solution conducting tube C thereby drawing the solution to the point of atomization.
In order to produce this effect it is necessary that the perforation B in the wind
conducting tube A be of a somewhat smaller diameter than the perforation D in
the solution conducting tube C. By this means a better and more voluminous
spray is produced than has heretofore been obtained and a device is constructed
which cannot get out of order by fair usage, the small tube or tapering parts being
entirely dispensed with. A further advantage being that the tubes at and about
the point of atomization may be thoroughly cleansed.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what 1
claim is.-
In an atomizer or spray the arrangement of the tubes at and about the
immediate vicinity of the point of atomization substantially as set forth and
described in the foregoing Specification.
