System comprising a nozzle and a fixing means therefor
First Claim
1. Nozzle system (1) which consists of a nozzle (3) having at least two nozzle apertures (11) and a nozzle holder (4) and optionally a check nut (2), wherein the nozzle apertures (11) or the nozzle channels (9) opening into the nozzle apertures (11) are arranged so that the jets leaving the nozzle apertures (11) are aimed towards one another at an angle α
- , the nozzle (3) is arranged in the nozzle holder (4) and this is optionally fixed by a check nut (2), in the assembled state the nozzle holder (4) or the check nut (2) or both extend at least partially into the area in front of the nozzle apertures (11), characterised in that in the assembled state the nozzle holder (4) or, if the nozzle system (1) has a check nut (2), the nozzle holder (4) together with the check nut (2) has an inner recess, which begins on the side adjacent to the end face of the nozzle (3) and extends as far as the outside of the nozzle holder (4) parallel thereto or, in the case of a check nut (2), as far as the outside thereof parallel to the end face of the nozzle, which, viewed from the end face of the nozzle (3), widens out steadily and continuously in the direction of the outside of the nozzle holder (4) parallel thereto or, in the case of a check nut (2), the outside of said check nut parallel thereto.

Abstract
The invention relates to a nozzle system for a delivery device for liquids, wherein the nozzle system comprises a nozzle and a device which fixes the nozzle in the delivery device. The delivery device, an atomiser, has a liquid reservoir from which a liquid is forced through the nozzle under pressure. The nozzle fixing means may itself be secured by a second fixing, e.g., in the form of a check nut, or the fixing may itself be a check nut. According to the invention the fixing means on the nozzle outlet side has a specific geometry which minimises the proportion of dispensed liquid deposited on the fixing means. Preferably, the present invention is part of a propellant-free device for nebulising pharmaceutical liquids.
