Patent ID: 7367661

Claim:
Nozzle body for a liquid droplet spray device for nebulising a high-viscous liquid substance having a viscosity of at least 4 mPas such as functional liquids, medicated or not, sanitizing or not, fragranced or not, comprising: a first substrate in which a space is formed, a second substrate having one or more nozzle membrane sections and reinforcement sections, wherein said first and second substrates are arranged such to enclose the space, wherein each nozzle membrane section comprises a high-density array of outlet nozzles and output channels that connect said enclosed space with each of said outlet nozzles, said outlet nozzles and said output channels having a tightly-toleranced, straight, non-tapered shape, wherein said second substrate has a top surface in which at least one cavity is formed so as to provide said nozzle membrane section corresponding to the bottom of said cavity with surrounding reinforcement sections, and a bottom surface adjacent to and enclosing said space thus forming a chamber for containing said liquid substance, wherein each nozzle output channel is step-shaped with a wider portion adjacent said space and a thinner portion containing a protrusion section protruding beyond the top surface of said nozzle membrane section of said second substrate such that the exterior side wall of the protrusion section of said output channel is at a substantially straight angle with respect to the top surface of said nozzle membrane section of said second substrate, wherein said space consists of at least two sub-spaces separated by a flexible but leak-tight separation, each sub-space containing a different liquid to be ejected through said nozzle membrane section, and wherein the different liquids are ejected from different outlet nozzles.
