This patent discloses the use of a fog as the atomization vehicle. A fog is an ultra-fine mist that can remain suspended in air. The proper use of air currents within the booth and around the body of the tanner facilitates the efficient deposition of the atomized tanning solution on the tanner. The swiriling clouds of liquid-laden air can be controlled to minimize the solution loss through filtration, precipitation, or adherence to the walls of the booth. This is the fifth patent issued to Laughlin Products with respect to this technology. LPI is currently awaiting the issuance of several more recently-allowed patents.
