NEBULIZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18756086 titled 'NEBULIZER
The abstract describes a nebulizer with a discharge outlet, a gas hole, and a liquid supply path.
- The discharge outlet communicates with the outside of the nebulizer.
- The gas hole supplies an output gas.
- The liquid supply path includes a liquid hole and a suction inlet.
- The liquid hole supplies liquid to an internal space.
- The suction inlet sucks liquid to be supplied to the liquid hole.
- The opening center of the discharge outlet is displaced from a virtual first reference axis.
Potential Applications: - Medical devices for respiratory treatments - Pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient delivery of gas and liquid in a nebulizer - Precise control of gas and liquid flow

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the positioning of the gas hole and liquid hole impact the performance of the nebulizer? 2. What are the advantages of having a suction inlet in the liquid supply path?
Original Abstract Submitted
A case of a nebulizer includes a discharge outlet that communicates with the outside of the nebulizer. A nozzle has a gas hole and a liquid supply path. The gas hole can supply an output gas. The liquid supply path uses a liquid hole as an opening at one end and a suction inlet as an opening at the other end. The liquid hole is located adjacent to the gas hole and can supply a liquid to an internal space. The suction inlet sucks a liquid to be supplied to the liquid hole. An opening center, which is the centroid of the discharge outlet when an opening surface of the discharge outlet is seen in a plan view, is displaced from a virtual first reference axis. The first reference axis is parallel with the pointing direction of the gas hole and passes through the gas hole.
