Technical field

Present invention relates in general to utilize soap dispenser (lotion dispenser device) to keep the content of health aspect, relate in particular to, encourage people to clean both hands effectively by stay the next marking that a signal is provided on hand people.

Background technology

In various environment occasion, comprise in working environment and the living environment, all the utmost point need to encourage energetically people more effective, go to wash one's hands more frequently.U.S. Centre for Disease Control declares, wants away from disease, and most important thing is exactly to clean their both hands.Yet many people are because the shortage of knowledge, bad custom or only be because carelessness, or be exactly to wash one's hands diligently inadequately, or be clean inadequately.

Needs guarantee the both hands health clean aspect a concrete example be exactly diet service trade.Well-known for many years cooking food and attendant needed to clean both hands and guarantee health before the food that culinary art is about to provide.It is just more self-evident that the catering service employee advances under the situation of toilet this necessity.If the employee in restaurant does not have cleaning clean hands carefully, various bacteriums in the toilet (such as at excreta, can look for the Escherichia coli that see in eating raw or the like) all are the health hazards that we were familiar with so, can be transmitted on one's body the unwitting client.These also have other some worries also to remind us to clean necessity of both hands in private residence simultaneously, especially in child's family is arranged.

At present, father and mother also have the practitioner of health industry to try to solve the sufficient inadequately problem of washing one's hands by the rules and regulations about the aspect of washing one's hands.Such as, the sign of writing " employee must clean both hands before leaving " is all arranged briefly in numerous catering services place.But, these want human almost or at all without any force or the situation of supervision under go to observe the method for certain regulation or policy, clearly be not enough to allow majority go to comply.And importantly, even these rules and regulations almost even not can guarantee that people have washed one's hands, the method that they wash one's hands is correct.(such as, used enough clean hand things, but the time of washing one's hands enough grow killing bacteria, or both hands are washed by rubbing with the hands fully).In addition, also have the hand cleanser of the different commercial style of many kinds, they are attempted by electronic counting, and identification and supervision or the like method is guaranteed the frequency of washing one's hands.But, do not have a kind of outside the frequency that guarantees to wash one's hands, trying hard to be to guarantee the effect of washing one's hands in these technology.This differentiation is very important, because the number of times that people washes one's hands may be abundant, but effect is but good inadequately.In brief, only duty is washed one's hands and is not sufficient to guarantee effective clean hands.

The current utensil that has several hope to solve the insufficient problem of washing one's hands.The feature of these utensils is all very complicated, and also therefore price is surprisingly high.Give an example, United States Patent (USP) 5,670, No. 945 is exactly a kind of utensil of complexity: at the cleaning basin with near a moisture-proof switch is installed in the sensor.The people must protrude into both hands simultaneously in the cleaning basin and start needed output signal.In addition, the U.S. is numbered 6,426, and 701; 5,945,910; 5,812,059; 5,202,666; 4,896,144; 3,967,478; 5,610,589; 4,688,585 and 5,199,188 the patent and the U.S. are numbered 2003/0030562; 2003/0197122; 2003/0019536 with 2004/0001009 apply for a patent and relate to all that some are relative to complicated apparatus, comprise electronic component, aspect sensor, the parts of pump etc. and so on (complex installation comes the requirement people to wash one's hands at usually) such as complexity.In a word, current available device is typically all expensive, installs complexity, is difficult to maintenance and comes operating aspect all difficult the training user.

The U.S. is numbered 5,771, and 925 patent has been showed a kind of soap dispenser that timing means is arranged in use.This timing means is included in the shell of soap dispenser, and when like this changing soap dispenser, time set also must be changed at every turn.In addition, this time set only point out the user wash one's hands the minimum time that should use, but do not provide any device to go to guarantee that the time that the user washes one's hands necessarily reaches this minimum time.

Summary of the invention

According to this explanation, all reduce greatly or fully solution with guaranteeing unfavorable factor and problem that clean hands is relevant.In certain embodiments, the user's one has the marking that recognizes the material work when washing one's hands easily on hand.

Can know according to an embodiment in this explanation, make a marking with a kind of material easy to identify that can when using soap dispenser, wash off on hand for the method for guaranteeing to use the soap dispenser clean hands better is included in of user.

The specific embodiment

Represent corresponding part with similar each numbering among Fig. 1 to Fig. 6, the specific embodiment of the first-selection by can finely understanding this explanation with reference to them and their advantage.

Fig. 1 is the cross-sectional view strength of a hand shape sign soap dispenser embodiment.In the embodiment in figure 1, soap dispenser comprises the container 10 that is used for adorning hand cleanser 19.The opening 11 that container 10 has a linear cocked bead 12 to be controlled.The design at the edge 12 that protrudes can match with recessed linear lid 15, thereby lid 15 can cover or open and allows container 10 can fill with or repeat to fill with hand cleanser 19 like this.In other embodiment, liquid feeder can also be designed to allow people use up hand cleanser 19 back just can throw away the sort of, like this lid 15 has not just needed.

Container 10 can be designed to such as desk, and the style of complete horizontal positioned is gone up on surface such as pond or sales counter.Container 10 can also be designed to install on the wall or other vertical lip-deep style (specially show).In addition, the profile of container 10 can change.Use to child, the profile of container 10 can be made animal or time hero's appearance.If such container also has audible signal sound, signal sound should match with the profile of container so.Give an example, if container 10 has been made the profile of frog, this voice signal can make tiptop sound so.

Discharging tube/mouth/flexible pipe 14 all is the requisite part of lid 15, and pipe 14 has reached outside the opening 11 always.In addition, discharging tube 14 comprises nozzle 18, and the hand cleanser 19 in the liquid feeder and then arrives the user on hand again from ejection here.In one embodiment, discharging tube 14 can by lid 15 move up and down and can with pump 16 interlock, a spring assembly and piston are arranged in the pump 16, just those that use in the liquid distributor of this technology of use of knowing with us are the same.In other embodiment, pump mechanism 16 can make the pump of any adequate types be used for liquid is extruded outside the container.In one embodiment, pump mechanism 16 can be a foam pump, can mix hand cleanser 19 and air before by nozzle 18 hand cleanser 19 being gushed out.The RF-17 foam abluent that such pump is produced such as Rui Qi Foremost in Packaging Systems, Inc..Pump mechanism 16 can also be connected with siphon pipe/suction pipe 17.The moving up and down of discharging tube 14 that links together with pump mechanism 16 can be drawn into siphon pipe 17 with hand cleanser 19, again in pump mechanism 16, by discharging tube 14 and final by nozzle 18 ejections.In other embodiment, can hand cleanser 19 be gushed out from container 10 with any other device.Give an example, can use to have the adequate types electronic component hand cleanser 19 is sprayed onto the user on hand, and simultaneously can the user stay material easy to identify on hand, guarantee clean hands effectively like this.Using pump mechanism that hand cleanser is provided technically is that everybody is familiar with, and therefore can do various changes to exemplary embodiments discussed herein in the spiritual essence that does not break away from content in this explanation.

Absorption layer 13 and compressible protective perimeter 41 can have been formed a marking device altogether.Absorption layer 13 can with any the doing in the many kinds of materials (such as, be used for the felted terxture of felt point or be used for the continuous pad of ink paste of seal).A kind of commercial available absorption layer is " fiber is made " felt that AFFCO produced by New York New Windsor.Can contain a kind of material easy to identify on the absorption layer 13, its can stay the next marking on hand what touch absorption layer 13.Protective perimeter 41 can be compressible foamed plastics shape (or other any suitable compressible flexible materials of being with) around absorption layer 13, and thicker on the thickness than absorption layer 13.Constitute if protective perimeter 41 is foamed plastics, foamed plastics need be a closed cell foamed plastic so, and material easy to identify so just can therefrom not seen off by suction.

The shaped design of protective perimeter 41 must be avoided user's clothes, and towel and/or other things accidentally stay the marking when touching the top of discharging tube 14.But when the user pressed the top of discharging tube 14, user's hand at first touched protective perimeter 41, and it can compress and can allow user's hand touch absorption layer 13.The user presses on that hand of discharging tube 14 and just has a marking then, and simultaneously hand cleanser 19 will be sprayed onto the user other one on hand.

In some embodiments, may not replenish the automatics of adding material easy to identify.Therefore, after the material easy to identify on the absorption layer 13 has been used up, or material easy to identify has become dry and can not the user by absorption layer 13 stay the marking on hand in, absorption layer 13 should be taken away from discharging tube 14, be positioned on the discharging tube 14 with a new absorption layer that has material easy to identify 13 then and replace that use up inefficacy.In one embodiment, can change absorption layer 13 by using attachment device 31 to finish.By taking away attachment device 31 and with a new absorption layer 13, compressible edge protection enclose 41 and/or attachment device 31 be placed into the top plan of discharging tube 14, can refill material easy to identify like this.Attachment device 31 comprises and is not to be not limited only to, two-sided paper tape, pressure sensitive adhesive, non-permanent adhesive and/or gel, the material of a kind of similar Velcro iron chain and other any detachable attachment devices that are bonded in discharging tube 14 tops of marking device that can allow.In another embodiment, can use soap dispenser the time mechanical pump of standby (adding the used the sort of small-sized machine pump of water on such as ink pad) water pump of material storage cistern easy to identify is delivered to absorption layer 13, absorption layer 13 can together keep for more time moistening with material easy to identify like this.

For disposable washing lotion for may just needing almost when hand cleanser uses up, just use up material easy to identify (perhaps material easy to identify and hand cleanser being used up same the time) the orchestration similar.The marking formula washing lotion that has absorption layer hereto is for orchestration, and to begin to become dry be reasonable to absorption layer 13 when using up for the hand cleanser 19 in the orchestration.Can allow like this user have installing in advance of marking device at the pump top washing lotion repurchase a new washing lotion then for orchestration for whole the throwing away of orchestration.In this embodiment; absorption layer 13; protective perimeter 41, attachment device 31 and discharging tube 14 can be merged into an independent complete device, and it not only can also add a marking in the orchestration to the user in use on hand for joining hand cleanser 19.

Although in Fig. 1, illustrate the concrete device that adds the marking, also can implement to print additional simultaneously with many kinds of technology and building method.Such as the method that adds the marking can comprise and be numbered 6,031,461 or 6,211, and the various types that print additional that proposed in 788 the United States Patent (USP).The method that adds the marking can comprise various system methods, and it includes but not limited to: (1), mechanistic, (2), pneumatic, (3), pneumatic (mechanistic), (4), electronics and (5), any combination that they are several.In addition, this adds marking device can be with thing hydrojet easy to identify, particulate, and vaporific form discharges from the independent pipe that is close to discharging tube 14 or nozzle.In this example, thing easy to identify and hand cleanser (perhaps almost being simultaneously) simultaneously are discharged to the user on hand, perhaps material easy to identify and hand cleanser 19 are mixed.

Material easy to identify can make various dissimilar materials, such as being numbered 6,031,461 and 6,211, those materials that proposed in 788 the United States Patent (USP).These materials can comprise ink, dyestuff, vegetable colour, coating, pigment, pigment, grease and their any composition.Agents design easy to identify can also be become identification easily very intuitively, but need to use other checkout gear, such as with the ultraviolet material that just can be easy to discern, or with some little metallicses that can detect with electronic equipment.Material easy to identify can also be other material, such as extremely small integrated circuit (being also referred to as " intelligent micronic dust " sometimes).

In case the selection of material easy to identify and design are wanted can guarantee to have used on hand after this material, the needed the sort of type of washing one's hands just becomes a kind of necessity.Give an example, after will being designed to be stained with, this thing easy to identify has only (such as liquid soap with hand cleanser 19, perhaps alcohol-based mixture) adds that hot water or warm water clean time enough and can wash off, like this allow user's the hand can be the cleanest as far as possible.Can from " love Little Bear impress chapter " that Rose Art Co., Ltd is produced, find the example of a thing easy to identify.In a cleaning experiment, the thing easy to identify of utilization love Little Bear seal under the situation of a water, wash take off very slow (above one minute), within similar 15 to 20 seconds, just washed off when still having used soap lye and hot water.

Other thing easy to identify also has ink, and this is to ratify through U.S. food medicine and cosmetics administration.Wherein a kind of in the available inks of this class commerce is the sky blue I-7054 China ink 203-52 that Ranger Ink produces.The available inks or the dyestuff of other commercialization have blue dyes, such as 1-methylamine-4-o-p-methylphenyl amination quinone (No. 403, blueness, the blue B of dibenzenazoresorcin), also has cudbear such as 1-hydroxide-4-p-toluinoanthraquinone (No. 201, purple, Arizroll aubergine SS).Place in some high hygiene, such as hospital, in sanatorium or the doctor's office, can become thing easy to identify (for example alcohol is for the cleaning liquid on basis, as the general auspicious instant hand-cleaning liquid of water of exempting from that GOJO produced) with the agents design that antibacterial hand cleanser washes with those very effective disease-resistant bacterium.Since give do the marking on hand and wash one's hands between time very short, as a rule do not have the problem that clothes is caught spot.Yet, if necessary, thus still can by thing easy to identify is placed on hand region that unlikely meeting touches other things with this may drop to minimum.Such as, can be on the web between two fingers, on the palm or on the back of the hand this marking design.To can guide the privileged site that this marking is placed on hand hand before the upper left marking, to arrive desired position such as finger guides and/or trigger by using.In addition, can design marking device to such an extent that the material easy to identify stayed on hand is extremely thin one deck (such as just as resulting with franking method), it is become dry with the fastest speed and reduce clothing simultaneously as far as possible and make dirty or catch spot.

Another way that as far as possible reduces spot foul (or contingency really makes to stain how stain is later allows it not throw into question dirty) is that the preparation composition of material easy to identify is to remove very easily on clothing or other thing.It is the material easy to identify that is numbered described in 5,043,013 the United States Patent (USP) that an example is arranged, and issuing Kluger et al. name is " washable ink mixture ".Be numbered 6,147,607 United States Patent (USP) and equally also listed many kinds than typical ink, the material that dyestuff or pigment are more prone to wash off.

In order to prevent that people from attempting to use paper handkerchief, thus a toilet tissue or a piece of cloth as obstacle every they hand and marking device between walk around marking device need not, can use and be numbered 6,147, the skill that is disclosed in 607 the United States Patent (USP).These skills comprise, need do the finger guide (like this will be difficult to again with paper or cloth making marking appliance cover) of the marking or use a rough surface (such as Velcro and so on) that fiber on the barrier of usefulness or lines are glued on marking device on the web of finger, like this attempt that allows the user walk around marking device becomes and covers all at one glance.This method is especially effective in living environment, is which people attempts to walk around it because have only limited several people to use the marking device of soap dispenser therefore can be more prone to run down.

Fig. 2 is the cross-sectional view strength of another band impression of the hand formula soap dispenser embodiment, has comprised a recoil simulator and/or a tape deck.It is similar to be placed in the marking apparatus function of describing among marking device and the Fig. 1 on discharging tube 14 top.But the marking device among this figure comprises the absorption layer 13 that covers on discharging tube 14 top plan and does not but comprise protective perimeter.Recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61 just activate/have triggered when depressing discharging tube 14 to extrude hand cleanser 19, and can allow hand material easy to identify from the absorption layer 13 abundant markings of user simultaneously.Although only showed a kind of form among the figure, the profile of soap dispenser can have various variations according to user's needs.Such as he can be following form: (1) thus have a recoil simulator but do not have tape deck to reduce the cost of soap dispenser; (2) have tape deck and still do not have recoil simulator; (3) existing recoil simulator has tape deck again, but the end user can use on/off button or switch to select to close or open two or one of them according to own needs.

In illustrated embodiment, recoil simulator 51, tape deck 61 and power supply 21 junction containers 10 link together.Outer cover 68 can be added on the container 10 or necessary part, is used for guard signal device 52, tape deck 61 and power supply 21.Switch 27 control electric currents are from power supply 21 to recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61, and it can be connected on the container 10.Switch 27 can use multiple technologies to control, and includes but not limited to contact-making switch, microelectronic mechanical switch, press button, toggle switch, the switch of slide switch and any other adequate types.Therefore, switch 27 can be selected recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61 are connected to power supply 21 by one or more electric wires 22 or other cable.In the described exemplary mode, can come activator switch 27 here by the trigger 28 that is connected with discharging tube 14.When depressing discharging tube 14 extrusion hand cleanser 19, trigger 28 can contact switch 27 and activation signal device 51 and/or tape deck 61.Therefore when switch 27 was opened, recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61 can activate.

Similar with existing hand cleanser container, it should be higher (because cause of the spring of pump installation 16 the insides) that the position of discharging tube 14 does not have the words of deviation.Therefore, when discharging tube 14 time in the higher position, trigger 28 can not keep being permanently connected to switch 27, and recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61 all do not have to activate (just can not send any sound or signal as recoil simulator 51, and tape deck can not write down any activity for 61 pages) like this.Use switch technically as you know, power supply and recoil simulator can produce sound, therefore can do various changes to exemplary embodiments discussed herein in the spiritual essence that does not break away from content in this explanation.

In the enforcement illustration of this demonstration, marking device also simultaneously stays the marking as a mechanical activator operation of activation signal device 51 and/or tape deck 61 when user's hand is pressed the absorption layer 13 that has thing easy to identify.In case this material easy to identify of being stained with on hand of people is arranged, probably this people will wash one's hands and remove this marking.Want one of flush away and be stained with the marking on hand of the marking, just must need to use in addition the never hand of the marking.The result has washed out the clean hand of a pair of.

In one embodiment, recoil simulator 51 can tell people to wash one's hands the required lasting time by signal of generation.Such as signal can indicate the minimum needs of washing one's hands and how long wash.Signal can be audible, observable, smell to obtain, touch to obtain, motion or other any appropriate signal types, as long as can tell the user of soap dispenser to wash material easy to identify off the needed shortest time.In one embodiment, recoil simulator 51 may comprise one by the needed sound of processor driving generation.In other embodiment, recoil simulator 51 may use electronics or mechanical organ provides needed sound.Signal can sustained activation be guaranteed effectively to clean both hands in about 15 to 30 seconds and was killed germ on the both hands.Yet the user has two diverse reminders (for example, marking device and recoil simulator) can assist in ensuring that the required minimum time of washing one's hands that reaches.In another embodiment, can separate recoil simulator 51 provides clocking information individually, rather than it and recoil simulator 51 are integrated.

In typical embodiment, with signal force use band marking formula soap dispenser can allow people get used to hearing also/or see this signal.Because people become accustomed to, as the employee time in the toilet, if band marking formula soap dispenser of no use or do not have activation signal device 51 is heard for waiting in expectation or is seen and will become obvious the plan user of this signal and other people.This signal is arranged like this or do not have this signal all can begin to produce a kind of condition response type reaction.Therefore, this signal will be actually voluntary behavior to this to become a kind of almost be the behavior of condition response type.Result thus is, uses band marking formula soap dispenser and incident signal will become a sign of clean hygiene, and can allow other people that like washing one's hands feel comfortably cool (for example the client in restaurant, the patient of hospital and child's father and mother).

Except the reflex of having ready conditions (for example, signal becomes the reminiscences that the user washes one's hands), recoil simulator 51 can also play positive invigoration effect equally.The inside child that is in has activated signal with soap dispenser and when staying the marking on hand at every turn, all may obtain praising.Give an example, can be from a series of different songs, beeping sound, tone, indication and noise are selected to pick out signal in the list.Soap dispenser can be placed on the next door in pond, bathroom, marking device has become child's a recreation like this, can teach their correct cleaning both hands, the time that needs is used an amount of hand cleanser 19 (for instance with needing, it is insufficient to wash one's hands, and the not enough and/or both hands of hand cleanser are washed inadequate words material easy to identify by rubbing with the hands and just can't are washed off).

In another embodiment, the design of recoil simulator 51 can allow the behavior of not using soap dispenser become very apparent.Give an example, can become lamp/one button (such as light emitting diode) and/or audible signal to Design of Signal, with keeping bright a period of time after having crossed soap dispenser.Preferably this time delayed signal can design to such an extent that begin to brighten or follow bright time ratio user the average time that local expectation will be treated more longer (giving an example, greatly about having used soap dispenser and/or base after 1 to 5 minute).Like this, the people who has just entered after the user has left the soap dispenser position may will see or hear the signal of this time-delay at once.If this Design of Signal is become to continue the scheduled time, need to use the people of soap dispenser just can not must walk around hand cleanser easily, because the user has left the zone back time of this hand cleanser and still has been in this predetermined amount of time and does not send signal, is obviously for the people who then enters into the hand cleanser zone.

In one embodiment, can include a display window 67 and be used for showing the information that tape deck 61 is write down.Display window 67 can be placed in the outer surface of container 10, and can by electric wire 22 keep and tape deck 61 between the information transmission.In another embodiment, display window 67 can also be simplified to an optical display unit and reduce cost (such as light emitting diode), what it can be as indicated above sends signal like that when using hand cleanser.Tape deck 61 collected will comprising with display window 67 shown information, but be not limited to the number of times that this utensil is activated in the certain hour section, each time of activating, use the frequency of the soap dispenser of tape label and other and the relevant feature of use soap dispenser.For example: in this way, father and mother can check that child used the frequency of the soap dispenser of tape label on the same day, and each time of using.Can observe the trend of washing one's hands by tape deck 61, award, and make great efforts to change the inadequate situation of washing one's hands showing positive child.This category information can allow father and mother (perhaps employer) supervise the degree of performance of the convention of washing one's hands.Better the place is, since the design this mark be for must use the specific mode of washing one's hands (such as, washed minimum 15 to 30 seconds with hot water and soap), tape deck 61 has in fact not only been supervised the frequency of washing one's hands, also supervised the significant degree of washing one's hands, because have only time of using at least and the effect that reaches at least, (for example, firmly washing by rubbing with the hands) can be washed this mark off.

Can use multiple different technology to allow tape deck 61 come into force, include but not limited to following one or more: IC, ASIC, EEPRON, FPGA, the combination of memory and processor, and/or mechanical counter.Because the mole method has reduced semi-conductive price, integrated circuit also becomes cheaply thereupon, and this allows low price collect, to store and shows that the information of number of different types becomes possibility.In fact having under numerous users' the business environment, may need perhaps to use biometrics to allow tape deck 61 can tell the difference action that different people uses soap dispenser by allowing the employee put on that electronics badge (as RFID equipment) is followed the trail of specific employee's action and they use the situation of marking device.

(do not show at length) that in an other embodiment recoil simulator 51 and/or tape deck 61 can be placed on the place away from marking device.The people that this set is washed one's hands in supervision (such as restaurant manager or child's father and mother) just seems necessary in the time of signal and/or recorded information need being presented at other local rather than positions of laying soap dispenser.For example, if soap dispenser only sends signal piping in child's bathroom scope, father and mother just are difficult to perceive so.If can listen the formula voice signal during signal, can self attach or use the volume controller of a remote control on the recoil simulator 51, father and mother (perhaps employer) can come the volume of conditioning signal according to their needs like this.Such as father and mother can be in other places in house, such as place one or more remote signal device in kitchen or parlor.Can be connected to the distant place or use one or more wireless technologys to come the operating and remote controlling device by electricity consumption bundle of lines recoil simulator 51.In general, one or more conveyer/transceiver and another or a plurality of conveyer/transceiver are coupled together help long-range information transmission.Elaboration in according to the present invention, the example that can transmit the wireless technology of information includes but not limited to IEEE802.11x technology, Bluetooth technology, GSM (global system for mobile communications), third generation GSM, CDMA, TDMA, infrared technique, radio frequency line spectral technology and other technology.

Fig. 3 is the profile of a markd soap dispenser embodiment more specifically, comprises a base that has recoil simulator and/or tape deck.That describes among the marking device that is positioned on discharging tube 14 tops and Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is similar.But the marking device of being showed among the figure has two absorption layers 13 in the place of pressing discharging tube 14, because very little and press the regional relatively large of discharging tube 14, at this moment just may need a plurality of absorption layers 13 to guarantee that user's hand can stay the marking when pressing soap dispenser at absorption layer in some cases 13.

Similar with the soap dispenser of being showed among Fig. 2, also connected recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61 on this hand cleanser.In the enforcement illustration that Fig. 3 shows, recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61 all can be arranged on the base/bottom 70.In certain embodiments, base 70 can be separated from container 10, base 70 just can use together with other soap dispenser like this.In addition, detachable base 70 allows this soap dispenser that a simple hand cleanser still is provided under the situation of the signal/timing that the does not have base 70 to be provided/function of noting down to use.After child or employee have accepted certain training of washing one's hands, to want to allow child use timing/semiotic function but still want to use soap dispenser itself, just need separate base this time.

Base 70 comprises base end face 71, bottom surface 71 designs can be settled from the teeth outwards, and such as the pond, desk or pinup platform.Bottom surface 71 can be connected with the base shell 72 that moves up and down according to bottom surface 71.Base/dispenser attachment mechanism 79 can be connected to the top surface (perhaps being connected to the lower surface of container 10) of base shell 72.Attachment device 79 can be nonvolatil, and perhaps detachable is connected to base 70 on the container 10.If attachment device 79 is detachable, whole polycrystalline substance (for example, lower surface 71, base shell 72 and all built-in electronic device or element) can remove from container 10.Attachment device 79 includes but not limited to two-sided tape, pressure sensitive adhesive, non-permanent adhesive and/or gel, the material of a kind of similar Velcro iron chain and other any attachment devices that can allow soap dispenser be connected to base shell 72 tops.

When base 70 can separate with container 10, the user of soap dispenser can buy base 70 and hand cleanser simultaneously, but can change another kind of hand cleanser into and base 70 uses together.For example, if hand cleanser 19 has used up and/or the user dislikes the pattern or the effect of hand cleanser, can change soap dispenser.When changing soap dispenser, the user will disassemble attachment device 79, and uses attachment device 79 or use another attachment device, thereby container 10 is separated from base shell 72, and then new soap dispenser is connected together with base 70.In another embodiment, can not need to use attachment device, but new soap dispenser is placed on the top of base shell 72, gravity effect meeting remains on soap dispenser on the top surface of base shell 72 like this.New soap dispenser not necessarily will fit like a glove with base 70, as long as the top surface level of base shell 72.Such as new soap dispenser can be more smaller or bigger than the put area of base 70, and perhaps new soap dispenser can have diverse profile, but liquid feeder still will be placed on smoothly, the top surface of the base shell 72 of level.

Be necessary to gain in weight (not showing in detail),, so just can not topple over easily to help the keeping center of gravity of whole liquid feeder lower to susceptor surface 71 (perhaps base shell 72).Can also increase some suction devices and/or attachment device by the lower surface of giving base the basal surface 71 of base and the surface that it is placed are kept in touch, thereby reach the anti-effect of toppling over.

Can be recoil simulator 51, tape deck 61 and power supply 21 are placed on bottom 71 top surfaces of base.In illustrated embodiment, switch (or pressure sensor) 27 can be placed on power supply 21 above, below base shell 72 top covers.The weight of container 10 will be tending towards base shell 72 is depressed on the switch 27, because base shell 72 moves up and down the bottom surface of base 71 relatively, the weight of container 10 is pressed on the base shell 72 under also being simultaneously.But spring/bias unit 75 can prevent base shell 72, and on the position of not having biasing (normal resting position when being placed on the top surface of base shell 72 such as, container 10) touches switch 27.Bias unit 75 can be designed to allow base shell 72 touch switch 27 when down discharging tube 14 extrudes hand cleanser 19 there being the people to press equally.

In an embodiment, the weight of soap dispenser (hand cleanser is arranged or do not have hand cleanser) between 1 to 3 pound, needs about 4 to 5 pounds pressure to press discharging tube 14 and could extrude hand cleanser 19 greatly.Therefore, the design of bias unit 75 is wanted to prevent that base shell 72 from touching switch 27, is extruded hand cleanser 19 unless there is the people to press discharging tube 14.Activated switch 27 in case there is the people to use soap dispenser, recoil simulator 51 and tape deck 61 can get into smooth as described in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is the profile of typical commercial wall-mounted, the soap dispenser embodiment that has marking device.Among the embodiment shown in the figure, soap dispenser comprises use attachment device 101 nails 100 shell 90 on the wall.Attachment device can be a bolt, screw, and nail, hook, safety pin, rivet, flange, latch, the fixture of clamp or other any adequate types is as long as can be installed on hand cleanser on the wall 80 just passable.In other embodiments, attachment device 101 can be a two-sided tape, pressure sensitive adhesive, non-permanent adhesive and/or gel, a kind of material of similar Velcro and other any attachment devices that can be installed to soap dispenser removably metope 80.Soap dispenser also comprises the container 91 that is placed on shell 90 the insides in addition, and hand cleanser 19 is equipped with in the inside, and thing 96 easy to identify is contained in container 97 the insides that are placed on shell 90 the insides in addition in addition.

Container 91 can be an elastomer bag, thermosensitive plastic bottle or other any can be when bearing pressure size and dimension can permanent deformation container (such as the pressure that when the hand cleanser user presses control stick 94 facing to container 91, produces).The drain pipe 92 that has valve 93 can be arranged on the bottom surface of container 91.In an embodiment, valve 93 will prevent container 91 hand cleanser 19 gravitates and by drain pipe 92 flow containers 91 when not being extruded.As shown in the figure, soap dispenser also will comprise the container 97 that material 96 easy to identify is housed.Container 97 and container 91 are the same can be an elastomer bag, thermosensitive plastic bottle or other any can be when bearing pressure size and dimension can permanent deformation container.Container 97 also will have the drain pipe 98 of a band valve 99.Valve 98 will prevent material gravitate easy to identify when container 97 is not extruded and flow container 97.As everyone knows, use these compressible containers in commercial liquid feeder, therefore drain pipe and valve can do various changes to exemplary embodiments discussed herein when not deviating from the spirit of being set forth.

In an embodiment, container 97 can be connected with container 91 (perhaps being integrated), and size is made as required, thereby can hold the material easy to identify 96 of basic abundance, becomes dry when making material 96 easy to identify roughly the hand cleanser in container 91 19 thoroughly uses up.Container 97 is much smaller with container 91, because the amount of the hand cleanser 19 of required use when washing one's hands is more much bigger than material easy to identify 96.Such as container 97 container 91 are wanted between little 50 times of to 2 to 4 quantity grades, and the material that is held respectively in such two containers can use up basically at one time.In another embodiment because soap dispenser do not have hand cleanser 19 just can not use, so container 91 as required size make, thereby allow hand cleanser 19 use up earlier than material 96 easy to identify, can guarantee that like this user can stay the marking on hand.If container 91 and container 97 link together or close as a wholely, use up and/or material easy to identify 96 in the container 97 when using up when the hand cleanser in the container 91 19 so, just can change container 91 and container 97 simultaneously.This mode that is integrated can be simplified the maintenance of soap dispenser, and it is just equally easy with the hand cleanser in the normally used hand cleanser liquid feeder of displacement to change and/or fill again material 96 easy to identify like this.

In another embodiment, separate being independent of each other between container 91 and the container 97, filling and/or replace the material of two containers in any one and just needn't depend on surplus in another container so again.This independently structure can utilize contained material in container 91 and the container 97 by fullest, and this may increase the needed maintenance capacity of soap dispenser.But container 97 can be sufficiently large, so just need not annotate and/or replace material 96 easy to identify so continually again, is considerably less because use once needed material easy to identify usually, so just can reduce as far as possible and safeguard matters.

The amount of hand cleanser 19 and/or material easy to identify 96 can be passed through, such as monitors with a transparent window in shell 90 the insides.In other embodiments, shell 90 can be transparent, and perhaps soap dispenser has a sensor, can inform whether user's hand cleanser 19 and/or material easy to identify use up.Whether if container 91 and container 97 are integrated, monitoring device can detect the contents level of container 91 the inside hand cleanser 19, need to annotate again also/or the material of 97 li in displacement container 91 and container thereby indicate.If container 91 and container 97 separate, soap dispenser should attach independent supervising device and monitor hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 respectively.

Soap dispenser also has a control stick 94 in addition, can allow the user inwardly press or outwards pull out with hand, and this motion will make control stick 94 rotate (as the counter clockwise direction that shows among Fig. 4) around being fixed on shell 90 upper support points 95.The rotation of control stick 94 will all produce pressure to container 91 and container 97, thereby hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 can be flowed out by drain pipe 92 and drain pipe 98 respectively.As shown in FIG. and container 91 and container 97 adjacent or contacted surperficial 100 profiles have topographic feature, like this design can make be applied to container 91 pressure simultaneously (perhaps simultaneously basic) be applied on the container 97.Control stick 94 the pressure on the container that is applied to 91 and the container 97 will make hand cleanser 19 break through valve 93, material 96 easy to identify is broken through valve 99 simultaneously.

In another embodiment, control stick 94 trigger that can be used as electronic installation or air generation plants comes hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 squeezes out container 91 respectively and container 97 arrives the user on hand.In this example, container 91 and container 97 can not be compressible, but the container of bullet cartridge type or other the sort of types of in ink or dyestuff, using usually.

To be designed to be able to provide or discharge an amount of hand cleanser 19 and/or material easy to identify 96 to drain pipe on container 91 and the container 97 and valve.As a rule, because it is very little to do the amount of a needed material 96 easy to identify of the doozy marking on hand the user, need the amount of hand cleanser 19 of usefulness more much bigger than amount of substance easy to identify at every turn.Therefore, drain pipe 98 and valve 99 are all little than drain pipe 92 and 93 respectively.In an embodiment, the drain pipe 92 of container 91 is in the same place adjacent with the drain pipe 98 of container 97, can allow hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 arrive the user simultaneously on hand like this.But, also can be imprinted on material 96 easy to identify on the back of the hand of user and hand cleanser is sprayed onto the front (such as palm) of hand.

In another embodiment, container 97 has many drain pipes or a jet pipe that has two nozzles, material 96 easy to identify can be sprayed on user a plurality of places on hand.In another embodiment, provide the drain pipe 92 of hand cleanser 19 to be centered on by drain pipe 98, material 96 easy to identify like this be sprayed onto the user on hand the time around hand cleanser 19 circlewise.Two markings are set help to wash one's hands and reach optimum efficiency, need wash one's hands more completely because will wash two markings off.As mentioned above, this forces the user to wash one's hands carefully, otherwise the marking that stays on hand at them will be very eye-catching.

Fig. 5 is the profile that is used as the marking formula soap dispenser of surveying the sensor 106 that uses liquid feeder that has of another commercial wall.In one embodiment, the liquid feeder of hand cleanser can adopt exempt from touch, such as " disposable " hand cleanser liquid feeder of the designed production of Technical Concept Inc..As shown in FIG., this liquid feeder comprises sensor 106, and it can detect the user and be placed on hand below the liquid feeder.If sensor 106 detects user's hand, the liquid feeder chance is sprayed onto the user on hand with hand cleanser 10 and material easy to identify 96 simultaneously.Sensor 106 can be any active probe or passive probe, is placed on hand below the liquid feeder as long as can detect the user.For example, sensor 106 can be an infrared ray sensor by United States Patent (USP) numbering 5,492,247.

Come simultaneously hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 to be sprayed onto the user on hand by an injection apparatus that has bias unit 105 and driver 108.In one embodiment, sensor 106 can couple together by electric wiring 107 (as: electric wire) and bias unit 105 (as: engine), by using driver 108 surface 100 of control stick 94 is pushed in container 91 and container 97.Similar with the principle that Fig. 4 describes, pressure suffered on container 91 and the container 97 will and flow to the user on hand hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 minutes don't pushes logical valve 93 and valves 99.Although shown among the figure is specific drive unit, drive unit can make machinery, electronics, aerodynamic or electronics/aerodynamic.And will comprise pump, engine and sprayer and/or compressor reducer can be sprayed onto the user to hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 on hand during the hand of sensor 106 below detecting liquid feeder like this.Having a kind of in the suitable driver is the pump mechanism that is proposed in the United States Patent (USP) numbering 6,607,103.As everyone knows, use drive unit in commercial liquid feeder, therefore drain pipe and valve can do various changes to exemplary embodiments discussed herein when not deviating from the spirit of setting forth among the present invention.

What Fig. 6 showed is a wall-mounted marking device that has of commercialization, can differentiate the profile of different users's soap dispenser exemplary embodiments.Under some occasion, marking formula soap dispenser can be used to stay the marking to some specific users.For example, the marking formula soap dispenser that uses in the toilet at the restaurant, do not want in the possible restaurant to allow it client do the marking on hand, but want really to stay the marking on hand to guarantee employee's clean hands effectively its employee.In this case, the toilet in restaurant may have 2 independent soap dispensers.Have and have marking device on the soap dispenser and post the label of " employee uses hand cleanser " and another one may be a sort of liquid feeder that can not stay the marking the user on hand commonly used.Under another situation, need not two liquid feeders, can differentiate 2 kinds or the liquid feeder of polymorphic type user's sensor more but have with one.For example, can to tell be that the employee is using and provides hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 to the user on hand then simultaneously to liquid feeder.On the other hand, not employee's (such as, be client) if using the people of liquid feeder, liquid feeder just only can provide hand cleanser 19 to the user on hand so.

As show in Figure 6, can distinguish user's type by sensor 110.Sensor 110 can be designed to be able to detect when using and whether wear, connect the street, but perhaps approach certain recognition feature, such as carrying out the device 121 that electronics is distinguished.For example, but sensor 110 can detect device 121 that electronics distinguishes whether be within the distance of soap dispenser particular requirement (such as, between about 0 to 5 foot).In this example, but the device 121 that all employees in restaurant distinguish electronics (such as, unlimited rfid device) is inserted into their name tags, wrist strap, clothes or even with the mode of implanting in the skin.As shown in the figure, can tie up to the user to name tags 120 with belt 122 and (perhaps select with safety pin not on clothes) on one's body, but name tags 120 the insides have the device 121 that electronics is distinguished.In another embodiment, sensor 10 can be a bion capacitance-sensitive device (unspecial the demonstration), can be by the use fingerprint, and the iris in the eyes, perhaps the method for other bion feature is differentiated different users.(such as reference United States Patent (USP) numbering 6,206,238 and 5,960,991).

The soap dispenser of being showed among Fig. 6 also has processor 111 simultaneously, its use electrical connection 107 (such as, electric wire) receives the sensor 106 (such as, detectable sensor in one's hands) and second sensor 110 (such as, can discern the sensor of user's type).Processor 111 can make microprocessor, perhaps microcontroller, and perhaps digital signal processor, perhaps Zhuan Yong integrated circuit, field programmable gate array or any other digital circuit or analog circuit setting are carried out processing instruction.In case sensor 106 has detected the hand (perhaps other thing) below liquid feeder, sensor 016 will transmit a signal and give processor 111.

After the signal of having received sensor 106 transmission, but whether processor 111 has detected determine sensor 110 existence of electronics condition discriminating apparatus 121.If but sensor 110 has detected electronics condition discriminating apparatus 121, but sensor 110 will transmit a signal indicates the existence of electronics identifying device 121 for processor 111, handle it like this and 111 will instruct liquid dispensing apparatus 130 that hand cleanser is sprayed onto after the use then on hand, instruct material liquid dispensing apparatus 131 easy to identify that material 96 easy to identify is sprayed onto the user on hand simultaneously.In one embodiment, hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 will really be sprayed onto the user on hand simultaneously.If but sensor 106 has not detected the hand of the user under liquid feeder but sensor 110 monitors the existence of electronics identifying device 121,110 of processors can instruct liquid dispensing apparatus 130 that the hand cleanser 19 of aequum is provided.Therefore, but soap dispenser can stay material 96 easy to identify on hand in specific user (such as, employee) and as the marking can not stay the marking (such as, non-employee) to other people when washing one's hands.

Soap dispenser also has supply unit 120 (such as, a batteries) in addition and electric power is provided can for various electronic components.Supply unit 120 can be in the inside or the outside of liquid feeder, and each electronic component (such as, sensor 106 and sensor 110, microprocessor 111, liquid dispensing apparatus 130 and liquid dispensing apparatus 131) can obtain to move needed electric weight like this.If supply unit 120 is batteries, liquid feeder will comprise an indicator in service life that is connected with supply unit 120 so, and the information about the last quantity of electric charge in the battery can be provided.In another embodiment, there is a supervising device (such as, sensor) to be connected together and indicates the amount of hand cleanser 19 and/or material easy to identify 96 respectively with container 91 and/or container 97.Can judge when need to replace hand cleanser 19 and/or material easy to identify 96 by this supervising device.

Such as among Fig. 6 displaying, Fig. 6 can not exert pressure to spray in container 91 and the method above the container 97 and extrude hand cleanser 19 and/or material easy to identify 96 according to passing through shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.On the contrary, can provide hand cleanser 19 and easy to identify material 96 with liquid dispensing apparatus 131 from processor 111 acknowledge(ment) signals that electric wire 107 is connected by liquid dispensing apparatus 130 respectively.The signal that liquid dispensing apparatus 130 and liquid dispensing apparatus 131 use transmission to discharge hand cleanser 19 by drain pipe 92 respectively and woven hose 98 discharges material 96 easy to identify, like this two kinds of materials is transported to the user on hand.But, in another embodiment, can provide hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 (as showing among Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) with a compression set, be used for the mechanical handling bar of squeeze receptacle 91 and container 97 can trigger processor 111 and liquid dispensing apparatus 131.Whether the device 121 that uses processor 111 to judge that the gram electronics is distinguished is then found by sensor 110, if processor 111 transmits signal in the past from sensor 110 like this, processor 111 will instruct liquid dispensing apparatus 131 that material 96 easy to identify is provided when hand cleanser 96 is squeezed out container 91.

Although described the specific device that hand cleanser 19 and material easy to identify 96 are provided, also have many methods that hand cleanser 19 and/or material easy to identify 96 are extracted of planting from their containers separately.These methods comprise: motor, pump, sprayer, printer, valve, compressor reducer, injector, fan, the perhaps any combination among them.In addition, be used to provide the device meeting of hand cleanser 19 and provide the device of material easy to identify different.As everyone knows, in commercial liquid feeder, use liquid dispensing apparatus, therefore can when not deviating from the spirit of setting forth among the present invention, do various changes exemplary embodiments discussed herein.

In other embodiments, with reference to and the signal of in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, being explained, timing and/or recording element all also will be included on the commercial liquid feeder that Fig. 4 showed in Fig. 6 (but unspecial displaying).But writing function and electronics recognition device 121 (perhaps bio-sensing device) can be tied use effectively, can trace the situation that the someone uses soap dispenser from that people.For example, use design as the specific items/people of identification (such as, as United States Patent (USP) numbering 5,610, an electronics badge described in 589 is included here with as a reference) unlimited REID equipment, the liquid feeder of being showed in from Fig. 1 to Fig. 6 can both keep a record and illustrate specific user (such as, the trend of the concrete correlation circumstance of use liquid feeder employee and/or doctor, nurse).The information of record just likes that comprises, but is not limited only to, and user's identity of (such as, the user in duty hour) in a certain period has been identified the position of the liquid feeder that user's service time of identity and frequency of utilization and this person use.

The example that commercial available use employee badges and reporting software are supervised in the system of washing one's hands is exactly the iHygiene system that the Woodward laboratory is produced.This system is one and exempts from touch hand cleanser, has transmission information between the badge that a wireless supervisory control system comes and radio communication activates.This system stores be the observing situation statistics of the health of washing one's hands of feature according to time and date, can allow people from the place, order of classes or grades at school, service time and personnel or the like trace the health observing situation.Although described concrete supervising device, well-known, in commercial liquid feeder, use supervising device, therefore can when not deviating from the spirit of setting forth among the present invention, do various changes to exemplary embodiments discussed herein.

A people's hand when using soap dispenser, at first " make " dirty so that idea that then can more effective clean hands may be run counter to instinct a little, but selected material easy to identify rightly, the words of marking device and recoil simulator can be brought especially clean both hands for people.Sending signal when using soap dispenser simultaneously forces people to use this idea of hand cleanser can help to help to increase the frequency of washing one's hands.

Although say the description of having made details in this explanation, should be understood that and can under spirit and prerequisite scope of this explanation that does not deviate from defined in the separate statement, make various changes, replace and change.
