Patent ID: 7389951

Claim:
A misting device comprising: a body, said body having a cylindrical interior space, a first end, a second end, means for attaching said body at said first end to a fluid supply, an internal attachment means adjacent said first end, a first opening at said first end of a first predetermined diameter, an interior wall descending from said first opening toward said second end, said wall tapering inwardly to form a choke portion from a point spaced from said first end to said second end and terminating at a second opening of a second, smaller predetermined diameter; a turbine, said turbine having a cylindrical shape, an upper end and a lower end, a central attachment means, a mating external attachment means for attaching to said body, a channel portion, said channel portion providing at least two fluid channels and supporting a fluid directing portion; said fluid directing portion having an external surface and an internal surface, said external surface being sized and shaped to fit closely adjacent to said choke portion, and having at least one first downwardly angled spiral groove, said first groove spiraling in a first direction, thereby defining a first spiraling channel; said internal surface forming a cone-shaped chamber, said chamber having a first smaller end and a second larger end adjacent said lower end; a core, said core having a truncated cone shape and being sized and shaped to fit closely adjacent to said cone-shaped chamber, attaching to said central attachment means, having at least one second downwardly angled spiral groove, said second groove spiraling in a second, opposite direction, thereby defining a second spiraling channel; said body attached to said fluid supply, said turbine attached to said body and said core attached to said turbine; fluid, said fluid being supplied to said first end of said body at a predetermined pressure; and whereby, when said fluid is supplied to said body at said predetermined pressure it is routed through said channel portion of said turbine and broken into two streams, a first stream directed to said first spiraling channel and spiraled in a first direction, and a second stream directed to said second spiraling channel and spiraled in a second direction, said first and second streams intersecting at said second end of said body and atomizing into a mist.
