WILLIAMllUGERSHOFF, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

ATOMIIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,190, dated February 6, 1894. Application filed December 19, 1893. Serial No. 494,066. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM HUGERSHOFF,

I a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vaporizers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved vaporizer which is simple in construction, efiective in use and especially adapted for vaporizing heavy fluids such as oils and the like.

- The invention consists in the combination with a nozzle containing a plug having an aperture through which a jet of air can pass upwardly, a tube extending from said plug down into the liquid and having a curved tip extending over said air aperture and an inlet aperture in said plug, which aperture can be closed by an upwardly closing valve. The nozzle is provided below said plug with a laterally projecting neck on which a tube can be applied that leads to an air-bulb having a single opening. 7

The invention also consists of the construction and combination of parts and details as will be fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved vaporizer. Fig. 2 is avertical longitudinal sectional view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The nozzle A which is preferably made of hard rubber, is shaped at its lower end so as to fit snugly in the neck of the bottle B containing the liquid to be vaporized. The nozzle B has a lateral projecting neck 0 with which the compressible air-bulb D is connected, said bulb being entirely closed, with the exception of the opening through which the air passes in and out of the neck 0. The nozzle has a longitudinal bore in which a hard rubber plug F is placed and secured above the neck 0. Said plug has a fine aperture G extending from the bottomsurface to the top and at the upper end of said aperture a tip H is formed on the top of the plug. The liquid supply -tube J passes through the plug F, in which it is secured and extends down'and into the liquid to be vaporized, and its upper end is curved to form the vaporizing tip K, directly above the tip H. The plug F is provided with an aperture L which can be closed by an upwardly seating valve M therein, which valve is prevented from dropping out of the aperture by a pin N,-passing through said aperture below the valve. Ordinarily the valve M is in lowered position, permitting the air to pass through the aperture L into the bore of the nozzle A and from the same through the neck 0 into the bulb D.- By compressing the bulb D the air is compressed in the same and forced through the neck 0 into the nozzle A, through which it passes into the bottle and exerts a downward pressure on the surface of the liquid. At the same time a jet of air under pressure passes up through the apertureGin the plug F and issues through the tip H. In passing the end of the tip K, of the liquid supply-tube J, it createssuction in said tube whereby a quantity of liquid is drawn up through said tube J from the bottle and is vaporized by the jet of air issuing from the tip H. When the bulb D is released, it expands and draws in the air. V The valve M which was raised by the compressed air while the bulb D was being depressed, now drops and permits the air to pass through the aperture L to the bulb. At the same time air is drawn in through the tip Hand aperture G, and so on.

This vaporizer is not merely a suction vaporizer but acts by pressure and suction as the pressure of the air on the surface of the heavy liquids, such as oils, assists in raising the liquid in the liquid supply-tube J. The

vapor produced passes out through the top of the nozzle A.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, with a nozzle, of a neck projecting from the same, of an air compressing-bulb connected, with said neck, which bulb is closed entirely with the exception of the aperture, by means of which it is brought in communication with the neck, a plug in said valve and located above the neck, which plug is provided with an aperture extending from top to bottom and through which a jet of compressed air can pass, a liquid supplytube secured in and passing through the plug and having its upper end bent up above the said air jet aperture in the plug, an additional aperture extending through the plug from top to bottom, an upwardly closed valve 5 in said aperture and a retaining pin passing through the aperture below said valve, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM I'IUGERSIIOFF.
