Abstract
Abstract A device for atomizing liquid, particularly sulfite liquor which is adapted to be burnt after it is atomized, includes a housing formed of upper and lower parts, the lower part being connectable to a feed pipe for the liquid to be atomized and having a threaded bore which carries an insert with a liquid flow passage therethrough. The upper part of the housing carries a support which extends into a vapor chamber defined by the interior of the upper and lower parts and which supports a liquid nozzle on a recess of the insert in a manner such that the flow passage of the nozzle is aligned with the flow passage of the insert. The insert is preferably provided with a hemispherical recess to permit the pivotal arrangement of the nozzle thereon and the alignment of the passages. The supports defined by the upper part include radial support fingers which hold a central annular collar which is adapted to engage around the upper portion of the nozzle and hold it in position over the insert.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A liquid atomizer nozzle construction including a housing defining a vapor chamber with an atomizer discharge opening, an insert member aligned with the discharge opening in said housing and having a liquid passage therethrough for conducting liquid to be atomized, said insert member having an end adjacent the discharge opening of said housing with a centering recess therein, a liquid nozzle member having a passage therethrough for liquid and a first end with a bottom which engages in the recess of said insert for centering said nozzle member to align and communicate the passage thereof with the passage of said insert and having a second opposite end, and a support defined within said housing adjacent the discharge opening for centering the opposite end of said liquid nozzle member over said insert and within said vapor chamber in alignment with the discharge opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A liquid atomizer nozzle construction including a housing defining a vapor chamber with an atomizer discharge opening, an insert member aligned with the discharge opening in said housing and having a liquid passage therethrough for conducting liquid to be atomized, said insert member having an end adjacent the discharge opening of said housing with a centering recess therein, a liquid nozzle member having a passage therethrough for liquid and a first end with a bottom which engages in the recess of said insert for centering said nozzle member to align and communicate the passage thereof with the passage of said insert and having a second opposite end, and a support defined within said housing adjacent the discharge opening for centering the opposite end of said liquid nozzle member over said insert and within said vapor chamber in alignment with the discharge opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A nozzle construction according to claim 1, wherein said support comprises a collar centered within the vapor chamber and a plurality of arms extending outwardly from said collar and connected to said housing and supporting said collar centrally within said housing in alignment with the discharge opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A nozzle construction according to claim 2, wherein said arms extend substantially parallel to the flow direction through said vapor chamber to said discharge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A nozzle construction according to claim 1, wherein said nozzle member includes a bore imparting a twist to the liquid passing therethrough, said support including supporting arms arranged in the vapor chamber and shaped to impart a twisting movement to the vapor passing thereby.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
A nozzle construction according to claim 1, wherein said housing includes an upper and a lower part threadedly connected together and defining said vapor chamber, said insert comprising a separate member threaded into said lower part and having an outer end defining a hemispherical recess for supporting said liquid member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device according to claim 5, including means defined in said lower part for the inflow of a gas into said vapor chamber around said nozzle member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
161 words
A liquid atomizer, comprising a nozzle housing having an interior vapor chamber and a narrow neck venturi nozzle throat passage terminating in an atomizer discharge opening, an insert member defined in said housing opposite to said opening and having a passage therethrough for the flow of liquid and terminating in a recess aligned with said opening, a liquid nozzle member having a passage therethrough for liquid to be atomized with a first end defining a bottom which is engageable in the recess of said insert for centering said nozzle member to align the passage therein with the passage of said insert, said nozzle member passage terminating at the opposite end in a discharge opening aligned with the discharge opening of said nozzle housing, and support means engageable with said liquid nozzle member and holding said member to align the passage therein with the passage of said insert member and the discharge of the passage with the discharge of said nozzle housing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
161 words
A liquid atomizer, comprising a nozzle housing having an interior vapor chamber and a narrow neck venturi nozzle throat passage terminating in an atomizer discharge opening, an insert member defined in said housing opposite to said opening and having a passage therethrough for the flow of liquid and terminating in a recess aligned with said opening, a liquid nozzle member having a passage therethrough for liquid to be atomized with a first end defining a bottom which is engageable in the recess of said insert for centering said nozzle member to align the passage therein with the passage of said insert, said nozzle member passage terminating at the opposite end in a discharge opening aligned with the discharge opening of said nozzle housing, and support means engageable with said liquid nozzle member and holding said member to align the passage therein with the passage of said insert member and the discharge of the passage with the discharge of said nozzle housing.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
72 words
A liquid atomizer nozzle, according to claim 7, wherein said liquid nozzle member bottom is of hemispherical form said recess in said insert member being a correspondingly formed hemispherical recess, said liquid nozzle member being pivotal in said recess, said support means comprising a collar engaging around said liquid nozzle member and holding said liquid nozzle member so that it does not rotate in respect to the recess of said insert member.
