Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A METHOD FOR ATOMIZING AT LEAST ONE LIQUID WITH A ROTATABLE ATOMIZING HEAD, SAID ATOMIZING HEAD HAVING A RECESSED LIQUID RECEIVING CAVITY LOCATED THEREON AND A FEEDING ZONE TERMINATING IN A PERIPHERAL EDGE WHICH DEFINES UNRESTRICTED CIRCULAR EXIT MEANS FROM SAID FEEDING ZONE AND IS LOCATED ON THE SIDE OF THE ATOMIZING HEAD REMOTE FROM BUT IN COMMUNICATION WITH SAID LIQUID RECEIVING CAVITY, SAID METHOD COMPRISING THE STEPS OF ROTATING SAID ATOMIZING HEAD, FEEDING LIQUID TO SAID CAVITY, AND RESTRICTING THE FLOW OF LIQUID FROM SAID CAVITY TO SAID FEEDING ZONE TO CAUSE THE ACCUMULATION OF LIQUID IN SAID CAVITY UNTIL A FLOW BALANCE IS ESTABLISHED THEREBETWEEN RESULTING IN A UNIFORM CONTINUOUS FLOW OF LIQUID TO SAID FEEDING ZONE FROM SAID CAVITY AT A GIVEN RATE OF LIQUID FEED AND SPEED OF ROTATION FOR SAID ATOMIZING HEAD.
