Abstract
The invention concerns a device for washing nasal cavities by a nebulized liquid, that comprises a main body (12), a tank for liquids (14) including at least a nebulization chamber (23), and means of collection and nebulization of the treatment liquid from said nebulization chamber and delivery of the nebulized liquid towards the nasal cavities with the help of a flow of air under pressure generated by a compressor group. The main body (12) has a cavity and the compressor group (18), a piloting electronic circuit (20) and an electric battery system (31) are all on board of a single support housed and retained in the cavity of said main body.
Claims20
A device for washing nasal cavities by a nebulized treatment liquid, the device comprising:
- a main body;
- a tank of liquids above the main body and said tank including at least one nebulization chamber containing a washing liquid;
- a means for drawing and nebulizing the treatment liquid from said nebulization chamber and supplying the nebulized liquid towards the nasal cavities with a flow of air under pressure generated by a compressor group, said compressor group being controlled by a piloting electronic circuit powered by an electric battery system connectable to a recharger unit, said main body having a cavity closed by a sealing base cap and said compressor group, said piloting electronic circuit and said electric battery system are on board a single support housed and retained in the cavity of said main body, wherein one portion of said compressor group is in communication with an outside environment via an intake passage and another portion of said compressor group is in communication with said means for drawing and nebulizing the treatment liquid via a delivery nozzle formed in said support, said intake passage being associated with an intake valve.
A device for washing nasal cavities by a nebulized treatment liquid, the device comprising:
- a main body comprising a main body cavity and an upper main body surface, said upper main body surface defining at least a portion of said main body cavity;
- a base cap connected to said main body, said base cap closing one end of said main body cavity;
- a sealing element arranged between a portion of said base cap and a portion of said main body;
- a tank structure comprising at least one nebulization chamber, said at least one nebulization chamber comprising a washing liquid, said tank structure comprising a lower tank structure surface, said lower tank structure surface engaging said upper main body surface;
- a compressor group generating a flow of air under pressure;
- a single support arranged in said main body cavity, said single support comprising a delivery nozzle;
- an intake valve connected to said base cap;
- an intake element defining an intake passage, said intake passage being in communication with said intake valve, said intake element being connected to said base cap, said compressor group being in communication with an outside environment via said intake passage and said compressor group being in communication with said means for drawing and nebulizing the treatment liquid via said delivery nozzle;
- an electric battery system, said electric battery system being connectable to a recharger unit;
- a piloting electronic circuit powered by said electric battery system, said compressor group being controlled via said piloting electronic circuit, said compressor group, said piloting electronic circuit and said electric battery system being directly mounted to said single support;
- a means for drawing and nebulizing the treatment liquid from said nebulization chamber and supplying the nebulized liquid towards the nasal cavities with said flow of air under pressure generated by said compressor group, said main body having a cavity closed by a sealing base cap.
A device for washing nasal cavities by a nebulized treatment liquid, the device comprising:
- a main body comprising a main body cavity;
- a base cap connected to said main body, said base cap closing one end of said cavity;
- a sealing element sealing an area between said base cap and said main body, wherein said one end of said main body cavity is sealed via said sealing element;
- a tank structure comprising at least one nebulization chamber, said tank structure being arranged at a position above said main body;
- a washing liquid provided in said at least one nebulization chamber;
- a compressor group for generating a flow of air under pressure;
- a single support arranged in said main body cavity, said single support comprising a delivery nozzle;
- an intake valve connected to said base cap;
- an intake element defining an intake passage, said intake passage, said intake valve, at least a portion of said compressor group and said delivery nozzle defining at least a portion of an air flow path, said intake element being connected to said base cap, said intake valve being in direct communication with an outside environment;
- an electric battery system, said electric battery system being connectable to a recharger unit;
- a piloting electronic circuit powered by said electric battery system, said compressor group being controlled via said piloting electronic circuit, said compressor group, said piloting electronic circuit and said electric battery system being mounted to said single support;
- a means for drawing and nebulizing the treatment liquid from said nebulization chamber and supplying the nebulized liquid towards the nasal cavities with said flow of air under pressure generated by said compressor group, said main body having a cavity closed by a sealing base cap.
