The invention relates to a device for washing the nasal cavities with a nebulized treatment liquid. It comprises a base body, a atomizer chamber containing a washing liquid, means for nebulizing the liquid in said chamber and dispensing the atomized liquid to the nasal cavities for washing and a chamber for collecting the return liquid and catarrhal matter from the nasal cavities. The atomizer chamber (12) and collection chamber (13) are positioned side by side above the base body, and the collection chamber communicates with a dispensing exit of the atomized liquid to the nasal cavities. The two chambers may be defined each by a respective element or by a single piece.

The invention claimed is: 1. A device for washing the nasal cavities with a nebulized treatment liquid, comprising: a base body; an atomizer chamber containing a washing liquid; means for removing the liquid from said atomizer chamber and for nebulizing the liquid in said atomizer chamber and for dispensing the atomized liquid to the nasal cavities for washing; a collection chamber for collecting the return liquid and catarrhal matter from the nasal cavities, said atomizer chamber being positioned adjacent to said collection chamber above said base body, said collection chamber communicating with a dispensing exit of the atomized liquid to the nasal cavities; and a duct for conveying compressed air, said duct joining an intermittent orifice accessible from an outside to be opened and closed to modulate the flow of air, said duct having an outlet for releasing the air and adjusting excess pressure. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein a channel elevates from the bottom of said atomizer chamber and communicates, on one side, with the duct conveying air under pressure at base body level and has, on the other side, an injector nozzle placed in line with an atomizer nozzle which receives the washing liquid taken from said atomizer chamber. 3. A device for washing the nasal cavities with a nebulized treatment liquid by means of a flow of air under pressure, said device comprising: a base body; an atomizer chamber containing the treatment liquid; means for taking from and atomizing the liquid in said chamber and for dispensing the atomized liquid for use; a chamber for collecting the return liquid and catarrhal matter, said atomizer chamber and said collection chamber being positioned side by side above said base body, said collection chamber communicating with a dispensing exit of the nebulized liquid to the nasal cavities, said atomizer chamber and said collection chamber being formed as a single piece or delineated by a respective element; a duct for conveying air under pressure having a vent hole; and an elastic blade secured to said body having a shutter associated with said vent hole of said duct, said shutter being movable by means of a button to move the shutter from an open position to a closed position such that when said shutter is in a closed position said shutter is in contact with said vent hole joined to said duct. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein said shutter associated with said vent hole of said duct controls the flow of air towards the injector nozzle. 5. The device according to claim 4 wherein said shutter is housed with an adjustment spring in a housing on board said elastic blade, said shutter being associated with the vent orifice such that said shutter compresses said spring in the case of excessive pressure in said duct. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein said button is locked fast in closed position, said button being movable in relation to said blade and/or associated with means for stopping it in said closed position. 7. The device according to claim 3, wherein said atomizer chamber and said collection chamber are each delineated by a respective element, said atomizer chamber and said collection chamber being joined side by side, associated at the bottom with the base body and joined at the top by an intermediate cover part. 8. The device according to claim 7, wherein said intermediate cover part comprises on the one side a concentrator of atomized liquid and on the other side a return opening above the collection chamber, and on said intermediate cover part is arranged a cover having abase that surrounds the concentrator and return opening in the intermediate cover part and a truncated cone shaped section in line with the concentrator and acting as an external exit for the nebulized liquid and an inlet for the return liquid and catarrhal matter into said collection chamber. 9. The device according to claim 3, wherein said atomizer chamber and said collection chamber are both defined by a single piece associated at the bottom with the base body and on the top with an intermediate cover part. 10. The device according to claim 3, wherein a channel elevates from the bottom of said atomizer chamber and communicates, on one side, with said duct conveying air under pressure at base body level and has, on the other side, an injector nozzle placed in line with the washing liquid taken from said atomizer chamber. 11. A valve device for controlling atomized air flow and pressure in electrical medical appliances, said valve device comprising: a base body; an atomizer chamber containing a treatment liquid; means for taking and atomizing liquid from said chamber and dispensing the atomized liquid towards the user; a duct for conveying air under pressure to said taking and atomizing means, said duct including a vent orifice; a shutter associated with said vent orifice of said duct, said shutter being secured to a flexible blade, said flexible blade being mounted to said body and movable by means of a button to move the shutter to from a first to a second position such that when said shutter is in the second position said shutter closes said vent hole to form a vacuum within said duct, whereby said treatment liquid mixes with the air conveyed to said taking and atomizing means. 12. The valve device according to claim 11, wherein said shutter is housed with an adjustment spring in a housing on board said elastic blade and is associated with said vent orifice such that said shutter compresses said spring in case of excessive pressure in said duct. 13. The valve device according to claim 11, wherein said button is locked fast in said second position, said button being movable in relation to the blade and/or associated with means for stopping it in said second position. 14. The valve device according to claim 12, wherein the elastic blade is associated with a stationary stop position to restrict movement of blade towards the vent orifice when pressed by means of the control button.
