1. An ultrasonic mist inhaler, comprising:
a liquid reservoir structure comprising a liquid chamber adapted to receive a liquid to be atomized;
an elastic member having an annular configuration, the elastic member including an inner opening with a groove;
an ultrasonic oscillation component supported by the elastic member, the ultrasonic oscillation component having an atomization surface and being positioned at least in part within the groove of the elastic member;
a sonication chamber in fluid communication with the liquid chamber, the sonication chamber comprising the ultrasonic oscillation component; and
a capillary element arranged between the liquid chamber and the sonication chamber, the capillary element comprising a central portion and a peripheral portion extending to the liquid chamber, the central portion having a U-shaped cross section extending to the sonication chamber, the central portion being positioned within the inner opening of the elastic member and in surface contact with the atomization surface of the ultrasonic oscillation component.
