Abstract
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for liquid deflection for liquid spray generators utilized in impressing marking materials (e.g., dyes, inks, paints, coatings) onto substrates (e.g., fabric) and, more particularly, to a mechanism for producing a plurality of aligned streams of atomized droplets to produce a pattern on a substrate. A constant air supply is utilized with a liquid marking material line which is low enough to prevent diverting of the stable liquid stream but high enough to keep the air orifice free of liquid. Shields are also utilized to prevent the liquid mist accumulation from accidently getting on the substrate to be treated.
