Abstract

The present invention is directed to the combination of a vibrating element and an ultrasonic nozzle having an ultrasonic vibrator. The combination includes a body having a liquid supply passage therethrough and a chamber having a first and second end. The liquid supply passage is in communication with the chamber via its first end. The second end of the chamber defines an opening. An inner peripheral wall forms a portion of the chamber intermediate the first and second end. A multistepped edged portion is formed on the inner peripheral wall and each step defines an edge which severs and atomizes the liquid which cascades thereover from the liquid passage.
