Description

DESCRIPTION

BUTTON PUSH BUTTON

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a portable device to be used as a button pusher, avoiding direct tactile contact.

It has been shown that the hands are one of the routes of greatest transmission of diseases, because they are the part of the body with which we interact the most with the environment, and the large number of germs found on different surfaces. Thus, for example, in hospital elevators a greater source of bacteria is concentrated than in bathrooms.

It comes to solve the hitherto unsolved problem of avoiding intimate contact between the hands and one of the largest surfaces of viruses and bacteria such as elevator buttons, doorbells, and other elements with which to interact by touch in public spaces and places.

Not only does it avoid such direct contact, but its surface is treated and / or made with antimicrobial materials such as copper, black silicon, graphene and antimicrobial additives, or others with the same function.

The industrial application of this invention is within the manufacture of elements and devices with antimicrobial properties, and more specifically push-button devices with antimicrobial properties.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no identical invention has been found to that described, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related thereto.

Thus, document ES2525200A1 refers to a hidden and intelligent device intended to improve the environment or air inside elevator cabins, assemble cars or forklifts by purifying, deodorizing and sanitizing it, consisting of the following elements: - A chassis and cover of Lightweight, strong, chlorine-free material. It is therefore a device for the treatment of the environment / air of a passenger compartment, not for contact with the button panel of elevators or other elements to be pressed in public environments, as described in the main invention.

ES2735306T3 describes an antimicrobial porous filter comprising: a first porous membrane having an upstream and a downstream surface and a body between the upstream and downstream surfaces; whose first porous membrane includes particles that comprise silver in the body, whose particles have an average diameter in the range of between 0.2 microns and 20 microns, and a second porous membrane that has an upstream surface and a downstream surface and a body between the upstream and downstream surfaces; whose second porous membrane has a medium flow pore size (MFP) less than the average diameter of the particles in the first layer; wherein the downstream surface of the first membrane is in contact with the upstream surface of the second porous membrane. In this case, an antimicrobial porous filter is described, but it lacks consistency to be used as a push button.

ES2733675T3 proposes a method of making a packaged antimicrobial medical device comprising the steps of: providing a containment compartment molded from a polymeric resin comprising a polymeric material and an antimicrobial agent; placing a medical device within the containment compartment, the medical device comprising one or more surfaces; covering the containment compartment of the medical device with an outer cover of the container having an inner surface; and subjecting the outer shell of the container, the containment compartment, and the medical device to conditions of time, temperature, and pressure sufficient to transfer an effective amount of the antimicrobial agent from the containment compartment to the medical device, while retaining an amount effective antimicrobial agent in the containment compartment, thereby substantially inhibiting bacterial colonization in the medical device and containment compartment. Once again, it is a device that does not affect the novelty or inventive step of the main invention, characterized by being a button-push device.

Conclusions: As is clear from the research carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems posed as does the proposed invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The button pusher object of the present invention is constituted from a portable device the size of a key ring, with the conventional washer or similar fastening system, to be able to carry it always on top.

The shapes can be very diverse, when used by hand it can be ergonomic and adapted to it, or imitate abstract, minimalist shapes of objects, and the part of the device that comes into contact with the button / push-button is made or treated with antimicrobial materials such as copper, black silicon, graphene, and / or antimicrobial additives, although the entire piece may also be treated.

Additionally, this part of the device that comes into contact with the button / push button, or also the entire device, can be protected under a protective cover or cover that keeps said element isolated from the medium to reinforce its antimicrobial action. This cover in turn can be treated with a disinfectant and / or manufactured with antimicrobial materials.
