Patent Images
1. A system for dispensing ozonated water, the system comprising:
- an electrolytic cell;
a base portion comprising a tank having an interior for containing water, and a power source to provide power to the electrolytic cell;
a head portion having a nozzle for releasing ozonated water from the system; and
a rod coupling the base portion to the head portion and providing structural integrity to the system, wherein the rod contains wires electrically coupling the power source to the electrolytic cell;
the electrolytic cell disposed in fluid communication with the nozzle and the tank and configured to ozonate water as the water flows from the tank to the nozzle.

Abstract
An apparatus has a tank with an interior for containing water, a nozzle for directing ozonated water out of the spray apparatus, and an electrolytic cell located between the nozzle and the tank. The electrolytic cell is configured to ozonate water as the water flows from the tank to the nozzle. The apparatus also includes a power source for providing electric potential to the electrolytic cell. The tank, nozzle, and electrolytic cell all are part of a single spray bottle or dispenser (e.g., like a soap dispenser).

8. A spray bottle for dispensing ozonated water, the system comprising:
-
a base portion comprising a tank having an interior for containing water; an exhaust valve in fluid communication with the tank interior to exhaust gas from the tank to the exterior of the tank; an inlet valve in fluid communication with the tank interior to allow gas to enter the tank from the exterior; a water inlet to allow water to enter the tank, and a plug to mate with the water inlet, at least one of the inlet valve and exhaust valve disposed in the plug; a head portion having a nozzle for releasing ozonated water from the bottle; and an electrolytic cell disposed in fluid communication with the nozzle and the tank and configured to ozonate water as the water flows from the tank to the nozzle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
