Abstract
A warm mist humidifier wherein the steam-heating means thereof is composed of an outer heating means and an inner heating means having a plurality of oblique blades mounted around its upper periphery. A thin layer of water flowing from a reservoir between said outer heating means and inner heating means is rapidly heated into steam when disposed beneath the steam-heating means a heater is actuated, the ascending steam thrust on the blades to rotate the inner heating means to rub the outer heating means continuously, preventing minerals or other deposits from depositing thereon and permitting the deposits to be carried by hot water to a collector disposed around the outer heating means and there after to a filter means through a groove for filtering, thereby eliminating the disadvantage of usually manual cleaning of the humidifier.
