US Patent 9415412 Atomizer

An atomizer is provided to include a pivot member mounted on an upper portion of a device body so as to pivot up and down. The pivot member includes a holding portion configured to hold a vibrating plate movable up and down relative to the pivot member so as to bring the vibrating plate into face contact with the upper end surface of a wick by its own weight when the pivot member pivots downward. The device body includes a restriction portion that comes into contact with the pivot member to restrict the pivoting downward of the pivot member, while the vibrating plate is in face contact with the upper end surface of the wick.
