Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of humidifier technology, and in particular to an atomizing humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most mainstream atomizing humidifiers use a large, tall atomizing chamber to control water droplet spray, allowing splashed water droplets to flow back along the pipes. However, due to the weight of the water droplets themselves, the amount of atomized water gradually decreases as the atomizer rises. Therefore, controlling water droplet spray by increasing the size and height of the atomizing chamber significantly reduces the humidification effect. Furthermore, increasing the height of the atomizing chamber also significantly increases the size and production cost of the humidifier. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes an atomizing humidifier that prevents water droplets from splashing while reducing the overall size and production cost of the device.

[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a humidifier includes a base, an air outlet cover, a fan assembly, and a water baffle. The base has a water tank on which atomizer is installed. The air outlet cover is connected to the base and forms an airflow channel, which includes an air inlet section and an air outlet section. The lower part of the air inlet section and the lower part of the air outlet section are connected. The fan assembly is located on one side of the air outlet cover and includes a housing and a fan. The housing and the fan are connected. The housing has an air guide channel that surrounds the fan and extends outward from the housing to form an air outlet, which is connected to the air inlet section. The water baffle is installed above the atomizer, and a first opening is formed between one side of the water baffle and the side wall of the base; or the water baffle has a first opening on one side, which connects the water tank and the air inlet section.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a humidifier has at least the following beneficial effects: When the fan is not operating, the atomizer disperses the water in the water tank into atomized water droplets and drives the droplets to diffuse and float upwards. During operation, the atomizer will cause some water droplets to splash upwards. Since the water baffle is located above the atomizer, the water droplets splashed by the atomizer gather on the lower side of the water baffle. Under the influence of gravity, the water droplets blocked by the water baffle will flow back into the water tank. The atomized water droplets, being lighter, will float and gather below the water baffle and near the first opening. Subsequently, the fan assembly starts operating, and the airflow generated by the fan assembly passes through the outlet... The airflow enters the air inlet section and flows downwards towards the water baffle under the guidance of the air inlet section. Then, under the obstruction and guidance of the water baffle, the airflow flows towards the air outlet section in the airflow channel. During the flow of the airflow in the airflow channel, it will pass through the first opening. Driven by the airflow, the mist-like water particles gathered below the water baffle and near the first opening will move with the airflow into the air outlet section and then be guided out of the humidifier by the air outlet section, achieving the atomization effect. By setting up the water baffle, the water droplets splashed out during the operation of the atomizer can be effectively blocked, eliminating the need for the traditional heightened atomization chamber structure, reducing the overall size of the humidifier and the production cost.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water-blocking component includes a water-blocking plate and a hollow column. The hollow column is located at one end of the water-blocking plate away from the water tank and within the airflow channel. The side wall of the hollow column is provided with a first through hole, and the water-blocking plate is provided with a second through hole communicating with the inner cavity of the water tank and the hollow column.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet section and the air inlet section are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the base, and multiple hollow columns are provided, with the multiple hollow columns spaced apart along the length direction of the base.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the other side of the water baffle abuts against the side wall of the base to separate the air inlet section and the water tank.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second opening is formed between the other side of the water baffle and the side wall of the base; or the other side of the water baffle is provided with a second opening, the second opening connecting the water tank and the air inlet section.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the inner diameter of the air outlet section gradually increases in the direction away from the water tank.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet cover is provided with a grille, the grille being installed on the air outlet section and dividing the air outlet section into multiple dissipation channels.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing is provided with a flanged portion, which is arranged around the air outlet and is inserted into the inlet of the air inlet section.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing is configured as a volute, the fan is configured as a centrifugal fan, and the centrifugal fan is rotatably disposed within the volute.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base or the air outlet cover is provided with a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are respectively located on both sides of the water tank, and the two ends of the water baffle are respectively connected to the first connecting part and the second connecting part.

[0029] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 10According to an embodiment of the present invention, a humidifier includes a base 100, an air outlet cover 200, a fan assembly 300, and a water baffle 400. The base 100 has a water inlet (not shown in the figure) and a water tank 101 with an open top. The water inlet is located on one side of the base 100 and communicates with the water tank 101. An atomizer 110 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 101. The air outlet cover 200 is generally a pipe structure that matches the shape of the base 100. The air outlet cover 200 is connected to the base 100 and is located above the base 100. An airflow channel 210 is formed inside the air outlet cover 200. The airflow channel 210 includes an air inlet section 212 and an air outlet section 211. The lower part of the air inlet section 212 communicates with the lower part of the air outlet section 211. The fan assembly 300 is located on the side of the air outlet cover 200 away from the water inlet. The fan assembly 300 includes a housing. The housing 320 and the blower 310 are connected. The housing 320 is provided with an air guide channel 321, which is the cavity area between the inner wall of the housing 320 and the outer wall of the blower. The air guide channel 321 is arranged around the blower 310 and extends outward from the housing 320 to form an air outlet 301. The housing 320 is connected to the air outlet cover 200 and is located on the side of the air outlet cover 200 away from the water outlet. The air outlet 301 is connected to the air inlet section 212. The water baffle 400 is installed above the atomizer 110. A first opening 102 is formed between one side of the water baffle 400 and the side wall of the base 100. Alternatively, the first opening 102 can also be directly set on one side of the water baffle 400. The first opening 102 is located below the air inlet section 212 and connects the water tank 101 and the air inlet section 212.

[0031] Understandably, when the fan 310 is not operating, the atomizer 110 disperses the water in the water tank 101 into mist-like water droplets and drives the droplets to float upwards. During operation, the atomizer 110 will cause some water droplets to splash upwards. Since the water baffle 400 is located above the atomizer 110, the water droplets splashed by the atomizer 110 gather on the lower side of the water baffle 400. Under the influence of gravity, the water droplets blocked by the water baffle 400 will flow back into the water tank 101. The mist-like water droplets, being lighter, will float and gather below the water baffle 400 and near the first opening 102. Subsequently, the fan assembly 300 begins operation. The airflow generated by the fan assembly 300 enters the inlet section 212 through the outlet 301. Guided by the inlet section 212, the airflow flows downward toward the water baffle 400. Then, under the obstruction and guidance of the water baffle 400, the airflow flows toward the outlet section 211 at the bottom of the airflow channel 210 (i.e., the connection between the inlet section 212 and the outlet section 211). During the flow of the airflow in the airflow channel 210, it passes through the first opening 102. Driven by the airflow, the mist water gathers below the water baffle 400 and near the first opening 102. The particles move with the airflow into the air outlet section 211, and are then guided out of the humidifier by the air outlet section 211, achieving an atomization effect. By setting the water baffle 400, water droplets splashed out during the operation of the atomizer 110 can be effectively blocked, while retaining the mist-like water particles generated by the atomizer 110, effectively enhancing the humidification effect of the humidifier. There is no need to raise the atomization chamber to reduce water droplet scattering, eliminating the need for the traditional heightened atomization chamber structure, reducing the mold opening cost of setting up the atomization chamber, and reducing the overall size and production cost of the humidifier. By setting the air guide channel 321, the air guide channel 321 can guide the fan 3 The airflow blown out by 10 is guided to the position of the air outlet 301, and then the airflow passes through the air outlet 301 and enters the airflow channel 210, which further improves the operating efficiency and structural rationality of the humidifier, effectively improving the smoothness of the humidifier's operation. By setting the housing 320, the housing 320 can hide the fan 310 or the electrical components of the fan 310, improving the aesthetic appearance and safety of the humidifier. Setting the housing 320 on one side of the air outlet cover 200 makes the structure of the humidifier more compact and reasonable, further reducing the overall volume and production cost of the humidifier.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4 It is understood that the base 100 or the air outlet cover 200 is provided with a first connecting part 120 and a second connecting part 130. The first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130 are respectively located on both sides of the water tank 101 (or the water inlet communicating with the water tank 101). The two ends of the water baffle 400 are respectively connected to the first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130. By setting the first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130 to fix the two ends of the water baffle 400, the water baffle 400 can be fixedly installed, which can effectively improve the installation stability of the water baffle 400 and facilitate users to move and transport the humidifier.

[0033] Specifically, the first connecting part 120 can be set as a stud (since the first connecting part 120 is set on the side wall of the base 100 or the air outlet cover 200, the side wall thickness of the base 100 or the air outlet cover 200 usually does not support the drilling of threaded holes of sufficient depth), and the second connecting part 130 can be set as a support rib corresponding to the stud position. One end of the water baffle 400 is connected to a screw, which passes through the water baffle 400 and is connected to the stud. The other end of the water baffle 400 abuts against the top surface of the support rib. The support rib can initially position the water baffle 400. The user places one end of the water baffle 400 on the support rib and then connects the screw at the other end to the stud. This setting ensures the stable installation of the water baffle 400 while simplifying the connection structure between the water baffle 400 and other components, making it convenient for users to assemble and replace the water baffle 400 and reducing the difficulty of later maintenance of the humidifier.

[0034] It should be noted that since the main function of the water baffle 400 is to block water droplets splashing from the atomizer 110 during operation, the water baffle 400 only needs to be positioned above the atomizer 110 and able to cover the atomizer 110 (i.e., the projection of the water baffle 400 on the horizontal plane can cover the projection of the atomizer 110 on the horizontal plane). There are no special requirements for the installation position of the water baffle 400. The first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130 can be set inside the base 100 to improve the integration of the base 100 and the water baffle 400, making it convenient for users to maintain and replace the air outlet cover 200. The first connecting part 120 and the second connecting part 130 can also be set inside the air outlet cover 200 to facilitate users to inspect and maintain the water tank 101 and the atomizer 110, improving the user experience. Here, there are no specific restrictions on the installation position of the water baffle 400, as long as the water baffle 400 can be installed stably.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5It is understandable that the other side of the water baffle 400 (i.e., the side of the water baffle 400 facing away from the first opening 102) abuts against the side wall of the base 100 to separate the air inlet section 212 and the water tank 101. Given that both sides of the water baffle 400 are positioned, the third side of the water baffle 400 typically does not have any other structure connecting it to the side wall of the base 100. Therefore, it is only necessary to extend the side of the water baffle 400 facing away from the first opening 102 to the side wall of the base 100 and abut against the side wall of the base 100 to separate the air inlet section 212 and the water tank 101. At this time, all the airflow entering the airflow channel 210 from the air inlet section 212 is blocked by the water baffle 400, and the fan assembly 300 continues to operate. The blocked airflow moves towards the position of the first opening 102 (i.e., the air outlet section 212). The airflow flows downwards, thus forming convection in the airflow channel 210 and creating a negative pressure area above the first opening 102. Under the action of the air pressure difference, the atomized water droplets near the first opening 102 and below the water baffle 400 are quickly guided and flow towards the air outlet section 211, and are then quickly discharged to humidify the mist. By setting the water baffle 400 and separating the water tank 101 and the air inlet section 212, the airflow channel 210 can quickly form convection and create a negative pressure area above the first opening 102, which effectively improves the operating efficiency of the humidifier while suppressing the scattering of water droplets.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6It is understood that a second opening 103 is formed between the other side of the water baffle 400 and the side wall of the base 100; or the other side of the water baffle 400 (i.e. the side of the water baffle 400 away from the first opening 102) is directly provided with a second opening 103, and the second opening 103 connects the water tank 101 and the air inlet section 212. Because the water baffle 400 has openings on both sides, the airflow p entering the airflow channel 210 from the air inlet section 212 will split into two streams (i.e., stream p1 and stream p2). The fan assembly 300 continues to operate. Stream p1, guided by the water baffle 400, flows towards the first opening 102 (i.e., below the air outlet section 211), thereby causing the atomized water droplets near the first opening 102 to move towards the air outlet section 211. Meanwhile, the other stream p2 passes through the second opening 103 and enters the water tank 101. Stream p2 flows towards the first opening 102 in the water tank 101 and passes below the water baffle 400, thereby causing the atomized water droplets below the water baffle 400 to move towards the first opening 102. The particles move through the first opening 102 toward the air outlet section 211. By setting the second opening 103, the airflow p in the airflow channel 210 is split into two streams, p1 and p2. The split streams p1 and p2 work together to simultaneously carry most of the diffused floating mist-like water droplets out of the humidifier, increasing the concentration of mist-like water droplets in the unit airflow and effectively enhancing the atomization effect of the atomizer 110. In addition, since the water baffle 400 does not need to separate the air inlet section 212 and the water tank 101, that is, the width of the water baffle 400 has no special requirements. The shape of the water baffle 400 can be set arbitrarily according to user preferences and actual conditions, as long as it can cover the atomizer 110.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 It is understood that the water baffle 400 includes a water baffle plate 410 and a hollow column 420. The hollow column 420 is located at the end of the water baffle plate 410 away from the water tank 101 and is located in the airflow channel 210. The side wall of the hollow column 420 is provided with a first through hole 401, and the water baffle plate 410 is provided with a second through hole 402 connecting the water tank 101 and the inner cavity of the hollow column 420. When the atomizer 110 atomizes the water in the water tank 101, some of the diffused and floating mist-like water droplets will float into the cavity of the hollow column 420 through the second through hole 402. At this time, the fan assembly 300 operates, and the airflow flowing in the airflow channel 210 will pass through the first through hole 401 on the surface of the hollow column 420, thereby carrying the mist-like water droplets in the cavity of the hollow column 420 into the air outlet section 211 (this process does not affect or slightly affects the movement of the mist-like water droplets at the first opening 102 by the airflow), and finally discharged from the humidifier. By setting the hollow column 420, the hollow column 420 can accommodate some of the lighter mist-like water droplets, while the splashed water droplets are blocked by the inner wall of the hollow column 420 and fall back into the water tank 101, so that more mist-like water droplets can come into contact with the airflow, thereby further enhancing the misting effect of the humidifier and effectively preventing the problem of water droplets flying.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 It is understandable that the air outlet section 211 and the air inlet section 212 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the base 100, and multiple hollow columns 420 are provided, with the multiple hollow columns 420 spaced apart along the length direction of the base 100. The arrangement direction of the air outlet section 211 and the air inlet section 212 is the airflow direction in the airflow channel 210. The air outlet section 211 and the air inlet section 212 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the base 100, while multiple hollow columns 420 are spaced apart along the length direction of the base 100. The arrangement direction of the multiple hollow columns 420 is perpendicular to the airflow direction, avoiding the overlap of two or more hollow columns 420 in the airflow direction. This prevents the hollow columns 420 near the air inlet section 212 from blocking the hollow columns 420 away from the air inlet section 212, which would lead to a decrease in the misting efficiency of the hollow columns 420. This arrangement can avoid mutual interference between multiple hollow columns 420, effectively improve the misting efficiency of the hollow columns 420, and improve the structural rationality of the water baffle 400.

[0039] It should be added that the location of the first through hole 401 and the airflow direction in the airflow channel 210 are usually perpendicular to each other, that is, the axes of the first through hole 401 and the hollow column 420 are arranged sequentially along the length of the base 100. At this time, the airflow in the airflow channel 210 passes through the surface of the first through hole 401 but does not pass through the first through hole 401 into the cavity of the hollow column 420. This arrangement can effectively prevent the airflow from carrying out splashing water droplets from the cavity of the hollow column 420, further enhancing the water-blocking effect of the water-blocking component 400. In addition, when the first through hole 401 and the airflow direction are perpendicular to each other, the airflow direction is perpendicular to the airflow direction. Setting the flow direction at an angle, that is, the first through hole 401 is not directly facing the airflow (i.e., the bottom of the air inlet section 212) nor perpendicular to the normal direction of the airflow, can still have a certain effect of blocking the airflow from carrying out water droplets. However, its effect is not as obvious as setting the first through hole 401 perpendicular to the airflow direction (but it is still significantly stronger than setting the first through hole 401 directly facing the airflow). Here, there are no specific limitations on the shape, size, position and number of the first through hole 401. Users can set it freely according to the actual situation, as long as the first through hole 401 is not directly facing the bottom of the air inlet section 212.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7A second opening 103 is formed between the other side of the water baffle 400 with hollow column 420 and the side wall of the base 100 (that is, the two sides of the water baffle 410 and the two side walls of the base 100 respectively form the first opening 102 and the second opening 103). The second opening 103 connects the water tank 101 and the air inlet section 212. Because the water baffle 400 has openings on both sides, the airflow p entering the airflow channel 210 from the air inlet section 212 will split into two streams (i.e., stream p3 and stream p4). The fan assembly 300 continues to operate. Stream p3, guided by the water baffle 400, flows towards the hollow column 420, passing through the first through hole 401 and causing the atomized water droplets in the inner cavity of the hollow column 420 to move towards the air outlet section 211. Meanwhile, the other stream p4 passes through the second opening 103 and enters the water tank 101. Stream p4 flows towards the first opening 102 in the water tank 101 and passes below the water baffle 400, thereby causing the atomized water droplets below the water baffle 400 to pass through the first through hole 401. The opening 102 moves toward the air outlet section 211. By setting the second opening 103, the airflow p in the airflow channel 210 is split into two streams, p3 and p4. The split streams p3 and p4 work together to simultaneously carry most of the diffused floating mist water droplets out of the humidifier, increasing the concentration of mist water droplets in the unit airflow and greatly enhancing the atomization effect of the atomizer 110. In addition, since the baffle plate 410 does not need to separate the air inlet section 212 and the water tank 101, that is, the width of the baffle plate 410 has no special requirements. The shape and width of the baffle plate 410 can be set arbitrarily according to user preferences and actual conditions, as long as it can cover the atomizer 110.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 8 The other side of the water-blocking member 400, which has a hollow column 420, abuts against the side wall of the base 100 to separate the air inlet section 212 and the water tank 101. With this configuration, all airflow entering the airflow channel 210 from the air inlet section 212 is blocked by the water-blocking member 400. The fan assembly 300 continues to operate, and the blocked airflow first flows towards the hollow column 420, thus forming convection in the airflow channel 210 and creating a first negative pressure area on the surface of the first through hole 401. Under the action of the air pressure difference, the atomized water droplets in the cavity of the hollow column 420 are rapidly guided and flow towards the air outlet section 211. Subsequently, the airflow continues to flow towards the first opening 102 and... A second negative pressure area is formed above 02, which quickly guides the atomized water droplets near the first opening 102 and below the water baffle 400 to flow towards the air outlet section 211 and then quickly discharge them from the humidifier. By setting the water baffle 410 and separating the water tank 101 and the air inlet section 212, the airflow channel 210 can quickly form convection and form two negative pressure areas on the surface of the first through hole 401 and above the first opening 102, respectively. This greatly improves the operating efficiency of the humidifier while suppressing the scattering of water droplets.

[0042] It should be noted that, based on whether a hollow column 420 and a second opening 103 are provided, the water-blocking component 400 can be divided into four different types. Although some functions of the four types of water-blocking components 400 overlap, each type has its own advantages. For example, the water-blocking component 400 with a hollow column 420 has a better mist output effect; the water-blocking component 400 without a hollow column 420 has a better waterproof effect; the water-blocking component 400 with a second opening 103 has a simpler and more versatile structure; and the water-blocking component 400 without a second opening 103 has a faster mist output rate. Users can choose the appropriate water-blocking component 400 according to their actual needs, effectively expanding the functionality of the humidifier.

[0043] Reference Figures 5 to 8 It is understandable that the inner diameter of the air outlet section 211 gradually increases in the direction away from the water tank 101. Specifically, the air outlet cover 200 is usually provided with at least one side plate 230, which divides the airflow channel 210 into an air inlet section 212 and an air outlet section 211 connected at the bottom. The side plate 230 forming the air inlet section 212 is bent or inclined, and the end of the side plate 230 away from the water tank 101 is bent or inclined in the direction away from the center of the air inlet section 212, so that the inner diameter of the air outlet section 211 gradually increases from bottom to top (i.e., away from the water tank 101). This arrangement can increase the outlet area of ​​the air outlet section 211, and blow out the mist-like water droplets guided and discharged from the humidifier through the air outlet section 211 from more angles, effectively expanding the humidification range of the humidifier.

[0044] Furthermore, the air outlet cover 200 is provided with a grille 220, which is installed on the air outlet section 211 and divides the air outlet section 211 into multiple dissipation channels 221. Regardless of whether the water baffle 400 is provided with a hollow column 420 or whether a second opening 103 is provided between the water baffle 400 and the base 100, the mist-like water droplets generated by the atomizer 110 will always re-converge above the first opening 102 under the influence of airflow. At this time, the multiple dissipation channels 221 can divide the airflow at the bottom of the air outlet section 211 (i.e., above the first opening 102) into multiple small airflows p5, thereby improving the uniformity of the mist-like water droplets in the airflow and making the mist-like water droplets discharged from the air outlet section 211 more uniform and consistent, further improving the user experience.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 8It is understandable that the multiple escaping channels 221 are distributed in a grid pattern. This design simplifies the structure of the grille 220, making it easier for manufacturers to mold and process the air outlet cover 200, thus reducing the production cost of the humidifier. Furthermore, since the shape of the air outlet cover 200 matches the water tank 101, and the water tank 101 can be configured in various shapes, such as rectangular, circular, or semi-circular, the specific shape of the mesh-like dissipation channel 221 can also be set according to the shape of the air outlet cover 200 (i.e., the shape of the water tank 101). For example, if the water tank 101 and the air outlet cover 200 are rectangular, the shape of the dissipation channel 221 can be rectangular (i.e., the grille 220 is set as multiple perpendicularly intersecting plates). If the water tank 101 and the air outlet cover 200 are circular, the shape of the dissipation channel 221 can be circular (i.e., the grille 220 is set as multiple intersecting arc-shaped plates). By setting a mesh-like dissipation channel 221 that matches the shape of the air outlet cover 200, the aesthetic appeal of the humidifier can be further improved, enhancing the user's visual experience.

[0046] Reference Figures 5 to 9 It is understandable that the housing 320 is provided with a flange 330, which is arranged around the air outlet 301 and is inserted into the air inlet of the air inlet section 212. The flanged part 330 and the inlet of the air inlet section 212 are connected by an inlet plug. When assembling the humidifier, the user can directly insert the flanged part 330 into the air inlet section 212. This design effectively improves the humidifier's modularity, making it easier for the user to assemble the humidifier and, consequently, easier to maintain and replace the fan assembly 300, further reducing the humidifier's later maintenance costs. On the other hand, the inlet plug-in connection between the flanged part 330 and the air inlet section 212, i.e., the outer wall of the flanged part 330 abuts against the side wall of the air inlet section 212, can reduce the gap between the air outlet cover 200 and the housing 320, improve the sealing of the airflow channel 210, and prevent the airflow blown by the fan 310 towards the air inlet section 212 from flowing out between the air outlet cover 200 and the housing 320, reducing airflow loss. This improves the humidifier's operating efficiency while also saving energy and reducing the humidifier's operating costs.

[0047] Reference Figure 10 It is understandable that the housing 320 is configured as a volute, and the fan 310 is configured as a centrifugal fan, with the centrifugal fan rotating within the volute. A centrifugal fan is a fan that draws air axially and exits radially. By configuring the fan 310 as a centrifugal fan and the housing 320 as a volute that matches the centrifugal fan, the user can vertically position the centrifugal fan (i.e., the axis of the centrifugal fan is parallel to the horizontal plane) and install the volute on one side of the base 100, so that the fan assembly 300 fits against one side of the base 100 (usually the side of the base 100 facing away from the water inlet). This reduces the overall width of the humidifier, further reducing its overall size and production cost, and making it convenient for users to use, store, or transport the humidifier.

Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
