DESCRIPTION

Media vending machine to prevent the spread of the coronavirus

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide a dispensing equipment for all the elements that a person may require, in the application of the generally accepted preventive measures to avoid the spread of the coronavirus, being able to carry out, even, a temperature check bodily.

The field of application of the present invention is framed within the machines designed to automatically dispense products and / or services aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus, being specially designed for installation at the entrances to public establishments, centers of work, nursing homes, hospitals, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause disease in both animals and humans. In humans, various coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections that can range from the common cold to more serious illnesses such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

By way of introduction to the state of the art, in relation to the pandemic suffered as a result of the global spread of the coronavirus, the placement of hand sanitizer gel dispensers has become widespread at the disposal of employees and visitors as a complementary and necessary practice for washing hands with soap and water.

Likewise, the use of masks to guarantee the protection of the respiratory tract, as well as hand protection gloves at the entrances to commercial premises, work centers, residences, etc., has also spread at an unprecedented speed until now.

Thus, in general, in order to avoid contagion, confirmed and investigational cases should preferably wear surgical masks, thus avoiding the spread of the virus by expelling particles or micro drops of saliva or through the nose.

If you wear a self-filtering mask instead of a surgical mask, keep in mind that the exhalation valve allows air to be exhaled directly into the environment without any type of retention and, where appropriate, diffusion could be favored. of the virus.

Surgical masks must comply with the UNE-EN 14683: 2019 + AC: 2019 standard).

The placement of the surgical mask on a person with respiratory symptoms is the first protection measure for the worker. But it is not a guarantee against contagion from third parties.

Storage of personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment or PPE must be stored properly, following the instructions given by the manufacturer, so as to avoid accidental damage to them or their contamination.

Waste generation or decontamination.

After removal, disposable PPE must be placed in the appropriate waste containers and treated as class III bio-sanitary waste.

If the use of reusable PPE cannot be avoided, they should be collected in suitable containers or bags and decontaminated using the method indicated by the manufacturer prior to storage. The method must be validated as effective against the virus and be compatible with the PPE materials, so that it is guaranteed that it is not damaged and therefore its effectiveness and protection is not compromised.

Given the panorama described, and the continuous hygiene and disinfection recommendations, the problem arises of providing the necessary means so that as the situation becomes normal, people begin to circulate freely, without putting their health or that of the women at risk. people with whom they are in contact.

In this free movement, the first problem that arises is that when people access any room for public or private use, they will not always have adequate protection measures, in addition to the means available in the market in particular in what refers to sanitizing gels that are not adapted to the needs of current consumption, in much higher quantities.

Reviewing the state of the art in the matter, the following inventions are identified by publication number and title respectively;
