Abstract

An electrolyzed water generating and spraying device that allows generating electrolyzed water in a short time, and allows spraying non-deteriorated electrolyzed water immediately after being generated. The electrolyzed water generating and spraying device has a container, and housed therein, an electrolytic cell to generate electrolyzed water through electrolysis of an electrolytic solution by an electrode, a manual spray pump to manually spray the electrolyzed water generated in the electrolytic cell, and a power supply to energize the electrode. A tank to store the electrolytic solution and the electrolytic cell are provided independently in the container, such that the electrolytic cell is disposed below the tank, and the tank and the electrolytic cell communicate with each other via a communicating passage. Part of at least the electrolytic cell in the container is transparent. Also, the volume of the electrolytic cell is set to be smaller than the volume of the tank.

Claims

1. An electrolyzed water generating and spraying device comprising:

a container;

an electrolytic cell to generate electrolyzed water through electrolysis of an electrolytic solution by an electrode;

a tank to store the electrolytic solution;

a spraying mechanism to manually spray the electrolyzed water generated in the electrolytic cell;
