The nebulizer includes a fluid channel air inlet and fluid channel air inlet valve responsive to either a manual force external of the nebulizer, or a patient's breathing, to begin the nebulization process. Also provided is a method of providing nebulization including the steps of moving a fluid channel air inlet valve against a fluid channel air inlet so that a negative pressure may build up over the fluid in the fluid channel to draw fluid from the fluid reservoir and begin nebulization during inhalation. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100163645 | POPPET CHECK VALVE FOR AIR-ASSISTED SPRAY GUN - An air-assisted sprayer comprises a platform, a fluid cup, an air reservoir, a spray cap, a pressure line, a fluid reservoir and a poppet valve. The fluid cup is connected to the platform to hold a volume of fluid. The air reservoir extends through the platform and is configured to receive pressurized air. The spray cap is connected to the platform to receive pressurized air from the air reservoir. The pressure line connects the air reservoir with the fluid cup to pressurize the volume of fluid. The fluid reservoir extends from the fluid cup to the platform to provide pressurized fluid to the spray cap. The poppet valve is in fluid communication with the pressure line between the volume of fluid and the air reservoir to prevent fluid from entering the air reservoir. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110049266 | AROMATIC NEBULIZING DIFFUSER - An aromatic nebulizing diffuser includes a base panel, an electric fan, a power control unit, a lower housing, a fluid container that has bottom mounting rods detachably plugged into respective tubular upright posts of the base panel to facilitate cleaning work, a water baffle, an upper housing, an ultrasonic oscillator that controls a light source to emit light when oscillating an aromatic fluid in the fluid container to produce a fine mist of aromatic fluid droplets and a speaker mounted in a vertical speaker holder at the bottom side of the fluid container within the lower housing and controllable by the power control unit for audio output. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110303766 | DISPENSER HAVING NON-FRUSTRO-CONICAL FUNNEL WALL - A helix cup for use in a pressurized dispenser. The helix cup has a convergent funnel wall. The funnel wall is not straight and does not satisfy the mathematical equations for surface area or for subtended volume of the frustrum of a cone. Instead, the funnel wall provides a longer flow path than is achieved with straight sidewalls. The longer flow path provides for a tighter particle size distribution at lower pressures than occurs in the prior art. | 12-15-2011 |

Fluids, such as liquid, admitted to the inlet port flows into an open volume defined by a convergent surface of revolution about a longitudinal axis. The convergent surface of revolution circumscribes the longitudinal axis and, fluid flowing therethrough, towards an outlet nozzle. At least a portion of the surface of revolution is convex, concave or a combination thereof, so as not to be rectilinear. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20120292406 | Procedure and Device For The Micro-Mixing Of Fluids Through Reflux Cell - Procedure and device for the micro-mixing of miscible or immiscible fluids through reflux cell, produced by the invasion of one of the fluids going upstream into the feeding tube of the other fluid. This tube is closed and has a tube exit which is placed opposite an area of confluence where the exiting flow of the intercepted fluid meets an approximately perpendicular current of invading fluid, which is radially and centripetally directed to the axis of this exiting flow. The product is released outside through an exit orifice. The edges of the tube exit and the exit orifice are opposite each other and separated by an axial gap; and the penetration of this reflux cell into the feeding tube is regulated by controlling the velocity of the fluid. | 11-22-2012 |
