Abstract
Abstract An ultrasonic cleaning device comprises an ultrasonic pump having a hollow cover forming a spouting port in a narrow portion thereof, an ultrasonic vibrator in a wide portion thereof and a liquid supply port in a side portion thereof. An oscillator is connected to the ultrasonic vibrator. One part of the ultrasonic wave from the vibrator is passed through the spouting portion straight and the other part of the ultrasonic wave is reflected on the inside of the cover and is passed through the spouting port. An object or objects are opposed to the spouting port of the cover.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
An ultrasonic cleaning device comprising: an ultrasonic pump including a hollow cover, said hollow cover including a narrow portion forming a spouting port, a wide portion and a side portion between said narrow and wide portions, said side portion having an inside surface of a paraboloid and the focal point of said paraboloid is set to the outside of said spouting port; an ultrasonic vibrator in the wide portion of the hollow cover; a liquid supply port in the side portion of the hollow cover; an oscillator connected to the ultrasonic vibrator; wherein, a portion of the ultrasonic wave from the vibrator passes linearly from the vibrator through the spouting port and another portion of the ultrasonic wave is reflected from the side wall within the hollow cover and pases through the spouting port into contact with at least one object positioned in opposing relation to the spouting port.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
An ultrasonic cleaning device comprising: an ultrasonic pump including a hollow cover, said hollow cover including a narrow portion forming a spouting port, a wide portion and a side portion between said narrow and wide portions, said side portion having an inside surface of a paraboloid and the focal point of said paraboloid is set to the outside of said spouting port; an ultrasonic vibrator in the wide portion of the hollow cover; a liquid supply port in the side portion of the hollow cover; an oscillator connected to the ultrasonic vibrator; wherein, a portion of the ultrasonic wave from the vibrator passes linearly from the vibrator through the spouting port and another portion of the ultrasonic wave is reflected from the side wall within the hollow cover and pases through the spouting port into contact with at least one object positioned in opposing relation to the spouting port.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
An ultrasonic cleaning device as defined claim 1 wherein the oscillator intermittently generates pulses.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
An ultrasonic cleaning device as defined claim 2 wherein the oscillator for intermittently generating comprises a first oscillator for generating pulses in short constant cycles and a second oscillator for generating pulses in long cycles, the output for supplying from the first oscillator to the ultrasonic vibrator being intermittently cut by the output from the second oscillator.
