Abstract

Device (15) for hand disinfection comprising a power source (1) which can be operated with the aid of a rechargeable battery that can be recharged via a USB charging interface (10).

Description

The present invention relates to the field of hand disinfection.

State of the art

Disinfectant dispensers are known from the prior art, which dispense disinfectant to the hands automatically or manually.

From the DE20 2012 002 226 U1 For example, a device for hand disinfection is known, comprising a holding or operating handle, which comprises a cavity which is connected to at least one opening on the surface of the holding or operating handle for guiding disinfectant to this opening, with means for supplying disinfectant are provided in the cavity of the holding or operating handle.

Disinfectant dispensers must be used deliberately despite automation. This is e.g. often seen in public toilets. If such disinfection is not carried out due to negligence or time pressure, serious chains of infection can result. Likewise, those who consciously and very thoroughly washed and disinfected their hands cannot open the door handle, or only with their elbows, or with a paper towel, because one must assume that the door handle is infected because the previous person did not disinfect his hands.

The same applies e.g. for hospitals or other medical institutions. There, too, regular disinfection of the hands or the door handles is essential to avoid the spread of pathogens or diseases.

But in everyday public life too, disinfection of the hands and, at the same time, the door handles is often noticed less often than recommended. Especially now in the Covid-19 age, health experts recommend more frequent disinfection of the hands in order to reduce the risk of infection and the spread of the pathogen. However, it is usually difficult to guarantee this sufficiently in everyday life.

Disadvantage of the utility model DE20 2012 002 226 U1 is that it is attached to the door and therefore visible to everyone. Furthermore, the device can be stolen or destroyed in public toilets or classrooms.

One object of the invention is to provide an improved device for hand disinfection, by means of which a more frequent and / or more reliable disinfection of the hands and at the same time the door handles is made possible.

Furthermore, at least one of the above should preferably Disadvantages are avoided.

Disclosure of the invention

This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. This is a device for the hand or handle set, which is completely integrated into the strike plate and disinfects the hands and the door handle through a nozzle above the door handle.

The device according to the invention enables both a disinfection of the hands of a user and the door handle when the door handle is operated. This means that disinfection can take place automatically.

The proposed device can be retrofitted in existing doors by replacing a strike plate. It is only necessary to attach a small nozzle above the handle set with the help of a template.

The spread of germs, viruses and bacteria or other pathogens can thus be reduced significantly according to the invention automatically and almost invisibly.

The invention enables both the handles themselves and the hands to be disinfected.

The invention can be built into any door.

Figure list

The invention is explained in more detail below using an advantageous exemplary embodiment shown in the figures.

Show it:

• 1 __ a schematic view of the device according to the invention.
• 2 __ a fragmentary schematic interior view of the device according to FIG 1 .
• 3 __ a schematic front view of the device according to 1 .

1 shows a device for disinfecting hands and door handles. A door lock is shown 14th stuck to the disinfectant reservoir 5 and the complete control, here through the cover 11 covered, connected. A disinfectant spray nozzle is located in the cover of the control electronics 13 .

2 discloses a partial interior view of the device 15th . The device comprises a disinfectant pump 8th for pumping disinfectant from the disinfectant reservoir. The pump is powered by a battery 1 operated via a USB charging interface 10 being charged. The control electronics 2 controls and monitors the entire process. By actuating the handle, the latch is pushed backwards and actuates the door handle motion sensor 4th . This means that the disinfectant is dispensed onto the back of the hand using the disinfectant spray nozzle 12 and 13 activated on both sides of the door. By letting go of the door handle, the latch moves forward again and activates the disinfectant sensors with a time delay via the door handle movement sensor and sprays the door handles on the outside and inside using nozzles.

3 shows the front view of the door lock in which various components, some of which are already in 2 addressed, are housed. By an on / off switch 6th is left to everyone when their device 15th Applies. With the spray mode selector switch 7th you can set the number of sprays or whether the disinfectant spray nozzle is activated inside or outside. In public buildings the functions 6th and 7th deactivated.

The RGB LED power source state 8th shows the charge level of the battery.

The disinfectant reservoir becomes disinfectant via the filler neck 9 filled with the help of a funnel and / or pull-out of a hose. The USB interface was in 2 already described in connection with the power source.

The installation of the device 15th is made possible by simply replacing a conventional door lock. The door leaf or its frame does not have to have any special requirements. In general, however, it is also possible that the device 15th is integrated into the door leaf.
