Atomizing spray apparatus and method
View Patent ↗A method and apparatus for applying an atomized liquid solution upon a person, comprising a spray enclosure booth; an exhaust vent located below an anticipated user's facial area zone, the exhaust vent disposed within the bottom tray or a lower area of at least one wall or a lower area of a door and configured for exhausting ambient atomized liquid solution from the spray enclosure booth; a rigid conduit support defining a central air flow conduit connected to a bottom tray and pneumatically connected to an exhaust vent and providing structural integrity to the enclosure booth; an atomizing spray head assembly movably connected to the rigid conduit support and physically supported by the rigid conduit support; and an exhaust system configured to exhaust ambient atomized liquid solution from the spray enclosure booth by drawing atomized solution into the exhaust vent then through and out of the rigid conduit.
1. A downdraft exhaust apparatus for removing an atomized liquid solution from an enclosure, comprising:
an enclosure booth defined by at least one vertically oriented enclosure wall and a vertically oriented door, the at least one wall and the door disposed between and connected to a horizontally oriented bottom tray and a horizontally oriented top cap;
an exhaust vent located below an anticipated user's facial area zone, the exhaust vent disposed within the bottom tray or a lower area of the at least one wall or a lower area of the door, the vent configured for exhausting ambient atomized liquid solution from the spray enclosure booth; and
an exhaust system pneumatically connected to the exhaust vent, whereby the exhaust system is configured to exhaust ambient atomized liquid solution from the enclosure booth by drawing said atomized solution into the exhaust vent downward relative to the anticipated user's facial area zone, and then out of the enclosure; wherein the exhaust system is comprised in at least one hollow, cylindrical support pole that is attached to the bottom tray and supports the top cap, the air is drawn through the vent to travel in the support pole to a negative pressure exhaust fan pneumatically connected to the exhaust system at a top of the top cap.
2. The downdraft exhaust apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a positive pressure fresh air inlet vent configured to direct fresh air into the enclosure in the anticipated user's facial area zone, the positive pressure air inlet unit is attached to an adjustable nozzle so that the air blown into the apparatus can be redirected.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a positive pressure fan dryer located in the enclosure top cap and configured to forcefully blow air down onto the skin surface of the person after the skin surface has received the atomized liquid solution from the atomized liquid solution from the atomizing spray head and dry the skin surface; and, a heating element placed in front of the positive pressure fan to heat the air compelled from it.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
an atomizing spray head assembly having at least one curved atomizing spray head, said spray head assembly movably connected to the rigid conduit support and physically supported by said rigid conduit support; and,
solenoid pulse nozzles that generate a high frequency pulsing corresponding to a high frequency that is turned on and off by means of a built in solenoid.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a feedback control system is in communication with the variable pulse solenoid nozzles.
