Abstract

The invention is to offer a gas mist inhaler which makes only one part of the gas mist inhaler disposable for ensuring hygiene as well as realizing economization. The gas mist inhaler comprises a gas supply means 30 of supplying oxygen, carbon dioxide, or a mixed gas of oxygen and carbon dioxide; a gas mist generating means 40 which has a connecting portion 45 connected to the gas supply means 30, a liquid storage of storing a liquid, a nozzle supplied with the gas, a liquid suction pipe of sending the liquid to the tip of the nozzle, a collision member of colliding the liquid blown up by a gas stream from the nozzle therewith to convert it into a gas mist, a cylindrical gas inlet leading the gas till the upper portion of the nozzle, and a donut-shaped gas mist outlet collecting and discharging the gas mist; and an inhalation member 50 connected to the gas mist generating member 40 and having an inhalation port 53 for enabling to inhale the gas mist into a living organism, and wherein the gas mist generating means 40 is structured such that at least the liquid storage is made replaceable with others, and is disposable.

Claims

1. A gas mist inhaler, comprising:

a gas supply means of supplying oxygen, carbon dioxide, or a mixed gas (called as “

gas”

hereafter) of oxygen and carbon dioxide;

a gas mist generating means which has a connecting portion connected to the gas supply means, a liquid storage of storing a liquid, a nozzle supplied with the gas, a liquid suction pipe of sending the liquid to the tip of the nozzle, a collision member of colliding the liquid blown up by a gas stream from the nozzle therewith to convert it into a mist (called as “

gas mist”

hereafter) by pulverizing and dissolving these liquid and gas, a cylindrical gas inlet supplied with the gas and leading the gas till the upper portion of the nozzle, and a donut-shaped gas mist outlet collecting and discharging the gas mist; and

an inhalation member connected to the gas mist generating member and having an inhalation port for enabling to inhale the gas mist into a living organism,

wherein, with respect to the gas mist generating means, at least the liquid storage is replaced by another liquid storage.
