Abstract: A coin-controlled atomizer dispensing system is actuated entirely by compressed air or gas. At the conclusion of an operating cycle a cylinder is charged with liquid to be dispensed. The next operating cycle is initiated by inserting a coin which momentarily opens an air valve. A charge of compressed air and a charge of liquid are simultaneously fed to an atomizer nozzle until the charge of liquid in the cylinder has been completely dispensed whereupon the compressed air is cut off and the cycle is terminated by re-charging the cylinder with the next charge of liquid to be dispensed.

Abstract: Measured quantities of liquid, such as suntan oil or lotion, are dispensed to a user upon insertion of one or more coins into a coin-controlled timer. The coin-controlled timer, such as a timer-relay, applies electrical current to control a valve-controlled air supply to an atomizing nozzle. The timer system further controls the liquid supply by utilizing the air supply to actuate air valves.
