Abstract

A handheld misting device includes a sonic generator, a power source coupled to the sonic generator, at least one reservoir containing a first liquid, and a conduit from the at least one reservoir. The sonic generator includes a converter and an elongate horn comprising a first horn section coupled to the converter and a second horn section physically connected to and removable from the first horn section. Sonic energy delivered to the first horn section is conducted to the second horn section. The conduit transports liquid from the at least one reservoir to the second horn section to a delivery opening distal the first horn section.

Claims

1. A handheld misting device comprising:

a) a sonic generator comprising a converter and an elongate horn comprising a first horn section coupled to the converter and a second horn section physically connected to and removable from the first horn section, whereby sonic energy delivered to the first horn section is conducted to the second horn section;

b) a power source coupled to the sonic generator;

c) a first reservoir containing a first liquid;

d) a first conduit from the first reservoir to deliver the first liquid through the second horn section to a first delivery opening distal the first horn section

e) a second reservoir containing a second liquid;

f) a second conduit from the second reservoir to deliver the second liquid through the second horn section to a second delivery opening, proximate the first delivery opening.

2. The handheld misting device of claim 1 wherein the first and second reservoirs and second horn section are disposable.

3. The handheld misting device of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first and second liquids is aqueous.

4. The handheld misting device of claim 3 wherein at least one of the first and second liquids comprises a therapeutic agent.

5. The handheld misting device of claim 1 wherein the first and second liquids comprise reactants.

6. The handheld misting device of claim 1 wherein the first and second liquids comprise proteins.
