DESCRIPTION

LARGE FORMAT DISINFECTANT FLUID DISPENSER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a large format hand sanitizer fluid dispenser.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and COVID-19 disease, it has been determined by the corresponding health agencies that certain measures are the most effective to stop the spread of the virus.

Among these measures, the frequent disinfection of the hands stands out, since it has been shown that they are the main vehicle for the spread of the virus, when touching the face after having maintained contact with contaminated surfaces. This disinfection can be done by washing with hot water and soap, or by using disinfectant fluids. It is clear that the first option requires a toilet with a sink and the corresponding detergent, which is often not available. In addition, when using toilets, door handles, hand dryers and the like must be handled, so that a new contamination of the hands after washing is not ruled out at all.

For the other option, the gel dispensers currently available usually have levers, buttons or the like to produce the disinfectant fluid outlet, so that, although once the fluid has been dispensed, these controls are not manipulated, the preliminary manipulation is a risk. that could be avoided. In addition, existing disinfectant fluid dispensers are for use in hospitals, rooms and the like, attached to the wall and limited in capacity. On the other hand, the use of small personal containers with disinfectant fluids can contaminate pockets, bags or the like. where the user keeps them, and also in work situations, it is the employer or administration who has to provide this protection measure, being much more expensive, difficult to control and replace the distribution of personal containers.

All these drawbacks are solved with the dispenser of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The disinfectant fluid dispenser (preferably in the form of a gel) for large-format hands of the invention has, in its simplest variant, a configuration that comprises a support in which are arranged:

-a bottle of disinfectant fluid provided with an outlet for the disinfectant fluid,

- Some means of holding the cylinder in a substantially inverted position - upside down so that the fluid falls by gravity,

-a formal and dimensionally suitable connector to interchangeably couple the mouth of the disinfectant fluid cylinder and allow its exit,

-a zone to place the hands to be disinfected,

-a disinfectant fluid outlet nozzle arranged in the hand placement area,

-a conduit that is connecting the connector with the outlet nozzle,

-a solenoid valve that is arranged in the duct or in the nozzle to regulate the outlet of the disinfectant fluid, and

-a proximity sensor arranged in the area where the hands are to be disinfected, to open the solenoid valve and dispense the disinfectant fluid when it detects presence in the area where the hands are placed (and that can be associated with a timer or an electronic control more complex with other additional functionalities).

In this way, without touching or maintaining any contact with any object, we can achieve the dispensing of the disinfectant fluid and disinfect our hands without any possibility of contamination by handling cans, taps or the like, which makes it very suitable for use in places of public concurrence with multiple users, offices, work centers and the like, also with the additional advantage that it does not require additional installations or assemblies, achieving a dispenser with interchangeable tanks (no ideally refillable) large format easily and cleanly.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The dispenser (1) of large-format hand sanitizer fluid (3) of the invention comprises a support in which they are arranged (see fig 2 and its detail):

-a cylinder (2) of disinfectant fluid provided with an outlet (20) for the disinfectant fluid (3),

- some means for holding the cylinder (2) in a substantially inverted position,

-a formal and dimensionally suitable connector (4) to interchangeably couple the mouth (20) of the cylinder (2) of disinfectant fluid (3),

-a zone to place the hands to be disinfected,

-a nozzle (5) for the outlet of the disinfectant fluid (3) arranged in the area where the hands are placed,

-a conduit (6) that is connecting the connector (4) with the outlet nozzle (5), -a solenoid valve (7) that is arranged in the conduit (6) or in the nozzle (5) to regulate the disinfectant fluid outlet (3), and

-a proximity sensor (8) arranged in the area of placement of the hands to be disinfected, to open the solenoid valve (7) and dispense the disinfectant fluid (3) upon detecting presence in the area of placement of the hands.

Ideally, the cylinder (2) has a capacity between 5 and 20 liters, for example capacities of 5, 10, 15 or 20 liters.

In the preferred example of the invention, the securing means for the cylinder (2) comprise a funnel-shaped configuration (9) adapted to support the neck (22) / shoulders (21) area of the cylinder (2 ). In this way you simply have to place the bottle supported, without any additional manipulation.

For its part, the connector (4) comprises, for example, a protruding tube (40) adapted to penetrate the neck (22) of the cylinder (2), the mouth of which can be sealed by a sheet (25) that will be torn by the tube protrusion (40) when placing the cylinder (2).

Most preferably, the support comprises a pedestal (10) for support on the ground, avoiding the carrying out of works or drilling to hang on the wall. Said pedestal also has the associated advantage that it can provide additional functionalities, among which the provision of an interior housing (11) in which a bin (12) is arranged, and a waste inlet (13) arranged on the mouth of said bin (12). Single-use gloves, handkerchiefs, and the like could be disposed of in this bin. The housing (11) for the waste bin (12) preferably comprises a door (14) with a technical lock (15) (actuated by a key or non-standard means) to avoid vandalism and / or the danger of handling the waste by non-standard persons. prepared or without suitable protective equipment. Furthermore, it is preferred that the pedestal (10) comprises a counterweight to stabilize its positioning, since the weight of the cylinder is concentrated in the upper part, to lower the center of gravity of the assembly. It is preferred that the counterweight comprises a lower tank (15) refillable with a liquid (for example water), which makes it possible to lighten the assembly during transport, and stabilize the final position, once placed, by filling it.

Precisely to facilitate transportation, it is preferred that the pedestal (10) comprises wheels (16), ideally two lateral parallel wheels (16) arranged in the lower rear part of the pedestal (10).

For its part, the proximity sensor (8) comprises an IR sensor due to its low consumption, simplicity and reliability.

Finally, indicate that it is preferred that the area for placing the hands to be disinfected comprises a recess (17) implemented in the pedestal (10), since the bottom of it serves to collect splashes and maintain cleanliness, and also improves the sensitivity of the IR sensor.
