Atomizer device

Atomizer device for atomizing a liquid under increased pressure, comprising an atomizer body with one or more atomizing openings from which a mist formed from the liquid escapes during operation, and comprising a valve device upstream of the atomizer body, which valve device opens from a predetermined threshold value of a liquid pressure exerted thereon by the liquid, wherein the valve device comprises a valve cavity, in which a valve body is movable and lies all around sealingly against a wall thereof, and on a side of the valve body remote from the valve cavity a spring chamber in which spring means are compressible counter to a spring tension, wherein the valve body is subjected to a counter-pressure of the spring means and in a first, closing state closes a liquid channel between the valve cavity and the atomizer body, wherein the valve body can be urged into a second state under the influence of a pressure exerted by the liquid, wherein the liquid channel is released, and wherein the liquid in the valve cavity acts on the valve body over a first operative cross-section, which first operative cross-section is smaller than a second operative cross-section over which the valve body acts on the spring means in the spring chamber.
