Patent ID: 7883034

Claim:
An electrostatic atomizing device comprising: a high voltage generating circuit; a plurality of atomizing electrodes, to which a high voltage is applied by said high voltage generating circuit; a counter electrode disposed at a position facing each of said atomizing electrodes; and a liquid transfer means configured to transfer a liquid to said atomizing electrode; wherein said high voltage generating circuit is a single high voltage generating circuit, the plurality of said atomizing electrodes are connected in parallel to said single high voltage generating circuit, and a plurality of resistive elements for suppressing discharge current, wherein one of said resistive elements is inserted between said single high voltage generating circuit and each of the atomizing electrodes, wherein the resistive element inserted between said single high voltage generating circuit and the atomizing electrode located at the largest distance from said counter electrode has a resistance value smaller than the resistive element(s) inserted between said high voltage generating circuit and the other atomizing electrode(s).
