Abstract
Abstract An atomizer for spraying a liquid medium, having a nozzle body which has connections for the liquid to be sprayed and for compressed air. The nozzle body is mounted for universal movement by means of two rings connected by rotary pins to one another and to the nozzle body. The nozzle is driven in a predetermined path by a guide shaft in cooperation with an eccentrically-mounted follower ring.
