Patent ID: 7389947

Claim:
An improved atomizer of the type in which a fluid housed inside a container is ejected through a nozzle, the improvement comprising: a bottle operable as the container to hold the fluid, the bottle comprising a generally cylindrical portion; a resilient element structured to form a self-biased engagement with a wall of the cylindrical portion of the bottle at a plurality of locations along an axis of the bottle, the resilient element having a size larger than the cylindrical portion of the bottle so as to permit suspension of the bottle by the resilient element, in a receiving socket of a storage device; and an extension conduit between a pump mechanism and an atomizing nozzle, said conduit being malleable and deformable to permit a user to adjust the orientation of a direction of discharge from said nozzle, wherein the improved atomizer is in combination with a brace with a first end adapted for engagement with the bottle, and a second end carrying structure adapted to engage the conduit at a location spaced apart distally from the pump mechanism, the brace being operable to resist movement of the nozzle during actuation of the pump mechanism.
