Abstract: An atomizer for spraying a liquid medium into minute particles which comprises an outer container, a nozzle assembly including a hollow nozzle member, having a substantially elongated passage defined therein, and a body portion through which the nozzle assembly is coupled to the outer container. An inner container including a tube portion and a container portion in which a predetermined amount of liquid medium to be sprayed is contained is utilized independently of the outer container. This inner container is installed within the atomizer while the tube portion extends through the passage with one end disposed adjacent the nozzle and the other end coupled to the container portion. By the application of a grip to the outer container, the liquid medium can be drawn upwards through the tube portion onto the nozzle through which it is atomized.
