| 1. An ultrasonic transducer device for a humidifier, the humidifier having a vaporizing chamber for producing water vapor
or mist, the ultrasonic transducer device comprising:
a transducer holder having a central opening formed in a longitudinal direction of the transducer holder and a flange portion
disposed at a periphery of the transducer holder, the transducer holder for using in the water contained in the vaporizing
chamber of the humidifier, the transducer holder being formed of synthetic resin or plastic materials resistant to corrosion
from contact with the water contained in the vaporizing chamber;
an ultrasonic transducer disposed at the central opening of the transducer holder;
a support member formed of metal and having an upper planar section and a side section extending generally vertically from
the upper planar section, the upper planar section defining an opening therein for coupling with the flange portion of the
transducer holder; and
a heat discharge plate having heat discharging fins and coupled with the generally vertically extending side section of the
support member, the heat discharge plate coupled with a circuit board for discharging heat in the circuit board.
