GEORGE SCHLAUGH, OF LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA. I

ATOMIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,163, dated June 21, 1881.

' Application filed April 21,1881. (Model) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE SoHLAUcn, of Lancaster, in the county of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Atomizer, of which the following is a specification.

Figure l is a sectional side elevation of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same turned one-quarter around.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

The object of this invention is to promote convenience in operating atomizers, and thereby facilitate the spray-dampening of tobacco and other substances.

The invention consists in the combination, with the vessel and its discharge-tubes, of the double-acting air-pump provided with valves and air-conductors, whereby a continuous discharge of air will take place through the airdischarge tube when the pump is worked, and

a continuous delivery of spray will be maintained.

In the accompanying drawings, Arepresents' a vessel of any convenient size and shape.

B is a double-acting air-pump, the barrel of which passes through and is attached to the vessel A, or isotherwise securely connected with the said vessel.

0 is the piston-rod, which passes in through a stuffing-box, L, in the cap M, screwed upon or otherwise attached to the upper end of the pump-barrel.

To the lower end of the piston-rod O is attached the piston D, which is formed of two concaves of leather or other suitable material placed back to back, as shown in Fig. 1. With this construction, in whichever direction the piston D isimoved, the edges of one of the concaves will expand, and thus pack in the pumpbarrel, causing the piston to work air-tight in both directions.

In the upperpartof thepump-barr'elis formed an aperture, b, leading into a pipe or air-conductor, E, the upper end of which is secured to the said upper part of the pump-barrel. The lower end of the conductor E is secured airtight in an aperture in the top of the vessel A, and is provided with a valve, h, opening downward.

an aperture, a, leading into a pipe or air-conductor, F, the lower end of which is secured to the said lower part of the pump-barrel. The upper end of the conductor E is secured air-tight in an aperture in the plate K, and is provided with a valve, 0, opening upward.

The cover of the vessel A and the plate K are concaved, are placed with their concaves face to face, and all secured at their edges to each other and to the upper edge of the body of the vessel A. This construction I prefer; but the cover and plate can be otherwise formed and otherwise secured to the vessel A, the es sential feature being the formation of an airchamber, G, between the said cover and plate. In the plate K is formed an aperture, d, to allow air to pass freely from the air-chamber G to the interior of the vessel A, to press upon the surface of the water or other liquid contained in the said vessel A and force the said liquid out through the discharge-pipe I, the interposition of the plate K regulating the airpressure upon the said liquid and preventing the said liquid from being forced out too rapidly. The discharge-pipe 1 passes up through.

apertures in the plate K and the cover of the vessel A, and terminates a little above the said cover.

is secureda short tapering pipe, H, the outer end of which meets the upper end of the pipe I at a right angle, or nearly at a right angle, so that the air discharged through the pipe H will atomize or reduce to a spray the liquid discharged from the pipe I.

In an aperture in a cover of the vessel A is secured the end of a blow-pipe, J, so that the atomizer can be operated with. the breath when desired. The inner end ofthe blow-pipe J is closed with a valve, g, opening downward.

N is a pipe secured in apertures in the cover of the vesselAand in the plate K, for convenience in introducing the liquid into the vessel A. The outer end of the pipe N is closed by a screw-cap, O, or other suitable means.

In the upper and lower ends of the pump B are formed apertures, which are closed respectively by valvesfe, opening inward, to admit air into the said pump. With this construction, as the pump B is operated air is forced into the air-chamber G through the pipes E In an aperture in the cover of the vessel A F alternately, and escapes in a steady stream through tube H when the pump is worked, and through the pipe H, producing a continuous a continuous delivery of spray will be mainspray. tained, as set forth.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the vessel A and tubes H I, of the double-acting air-pump B, with its valves and air-conductors E F, substantiallyashereiushownanddescribed,whereby a continuous discharge of air will take place valve air-opening and interior of the vessel, substantially as shown, whereby an air-chamber, G, is formed, as set forth.
