ATOMlZER.

known as mouth sprays which howeverA does not necessarily mean an atomizer tor sprayingl the mouth but is generically applied Yto atomizers in which the air pressure is supplied through a mouth piece that is applied to the lip and blown upon. rllhe invention has tor its object toprovide a simple, eieient and inexpensive atomizer `of this type having improved features oit construction wherein, with two parts, the device is simply made and yet will be tight in all its joints and seams. 'lo these and other ends the invention resides in certain improvements and combinations ot parts all as will be hereinafter more lfully described, the novel `features beingl pointed out in the claims at the end ot the specilication.

In the drawings:

Fig. l is a side view of an atoinizer constructed in accordance with and illustrating; one embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view ot the mouthpiece, detached;

Fig. 3 is a bottom view.

F ig. 4 is an enlarged section taken on the line four tour ont Fig. l and Fig. 5 is an enlarged section on the line five live of Fig.' l.

Similar reference-numerals throughout the several views indicate the same parts.

My improved atomizer operates on the well-lrnown principle wherein a well tube is inserted in an upright position in the liquid to bedispersed and a current oit air then blown transversely across the open upper end which creates a partial vacuum in the tube and causes the liquid to rise therein and, in

overflowing at the top to be projected in a spray by the blast of air. ln the present instance the blast ot air is created by the operator blowing` through the mouthpiece.

Referring` more particularly to the drawings, l indicates a preferably seamless well tube that may be inserted in a. bottle or other liquid container. The mouthpiece is indicated generally at 2. lt comprises a conical tube, flattened at its Vlarge end as indicated at 3 and having,` its small end Llabout the size ol the well tube l and arranged directly at the mouth thereof to discharge air substantially at right angles thereto although it is prei:- erable that the mouthpiece or air tube should be inclined slightly upwardly so that the blast of air will be directed at a slight upward langle tothe. course ot the liquid as it y rises in the tube. The end 3 isot .a convenient lshape toplace between the lips and the blast is concentrated at the small end t y The mouthpiece is formed of avsingle piece oli` metal. ',.he central portion thereoi" is rolled and then tattened as described, the`l` edges at the mouthpiece being overlapped as indicated at 5in Fig. 3. At the opposite orl discharge end, ears are `provided vwhich are rolled atright angles to the axis ot the mouthpiece to 'form a socket sleeve 6 that lits closely over the upper end ot the well tube l. These ears constitute extensions on a pair ot' tins 7 which proceed downwardly from the seam oi the mouthpiece tube and the llower edges ot' which extend at an angle from the lower end et the sleeve 6 upwardly and rearwardly to a point at which they are cut 'rom the lap seam 5 of the lip portion 3. These tins are, therefore', in the nature ot a strengthening brace that makes the mouth tube rigid with the well tube l. A lap 8 on .one of the tins is brought over the edge of the other as clearly shown in Figure e and provides an air-tight seam at the lower edges ot the lin so that the air pressure exerted by the operatoris not dissipated betere the blast reaches the point at which the atomizing occurs. I

The device may thus be constructed of only two parts and oi' very thin sheet metal but with the result that the parts are both rigidly and tightly connected. By emersing the device in a. tin bath the seams heretofore referred to are sealed and in addition the sleeve 6 at the mouthpiece is permanently secured to the well tube l.

claim as my invention:

l. In an atomizer, the combina-tion with a well tube, ci a mouth piece having an at omizing relationship with the upper end oit the tube, said mouth piece being formed ot sheet material and provided at its seam with a flange havingan extension embracing and connecting it to the well tube.

Q. ln an atomizer, the combination with a well tube, and a tubular mouth piece o' sheet material having an atomizing relation to said tube, oit a pair ot iianges extending' trom the seam ot the mouth piece and having tubular extensions embracing` and connectin he mouth` piece to thewell tube.

I3. ln an atomizer, the combination with a well tube, ot a tubular mouth piecev of sheet material havingan atomizing relationloo ship with said \vell'tube, said mouth piece beine provided at its seam with two triangular anges secured together and diverging toward the Well tube, the ends of the flanges being provided with portions embracing the tube.

4. In an atomizer, the combination with a Well tube, oi a mouth piece having an atomizing relationship with the uppeiend of the tube. said mouth piece being formed of sheet material and provided atits seam with a pair of flanges, having an extension on one of said flanges connecting" it to the Well tube, one of said flanges havingan edge portion extending` past the other of'eaid' flanges, and bent over theeame to form an air tight joint.

5. In' anv atoinizen` the Combination With a well tube, of a mouth piece ormedfrom a blanket 'sheet material and'having an atomizing` relationship with the upper end of the Well tube, said mouth piece beine` provided at its seam with a flange integral therewith which extends laterally from the mouth piece, said flange having;v thereon an integrally formed sleeve adapted to engage the Well. tube.

6. ln an atomizer, the combination with a well tube, of a mouth piece formed from a blank of sheetl material and having` an atomiziiro` relationship with the upper end of the Well tube, said mouth piece being' piovided at its seam with a pair ol' integral, subetantlialhT Leymmetrical flanges extending' radially from the mouth piece, Said flanges having portions integral therewith extending'v axially past the end ot the mouth piece and Jformed for engagement with said Well tube.
