Abstract: An improved portable misting device comprising a portable liquid holding container and a spray arm projecting upward from the liquid holding container and being retractable and extendable to a desired elevation above the top of the liquid holding container. A single small aperture misting spray head is mounted on one end of the spray arm. A rocker arm is pivotally mounted adjacent one side of the top of the liquid holding container and is linked to the spray arm to cause horizontal rotation of the spray head. On top of the liquid holding container is a flat table upon which accessories may be placed. An electric motor, for pumping liquid from the liquid holdiong container through the misting spray head, is located within the main housing. A pressure-actuated switch is located under the rocker arm and the pump is activated when light pressure is applied to the rocker arm.
