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.

Regarding the use of disinfectant liquids, disinfecting gel dispensers with push buttons are known to produce the disinfectant fluid outlet. These buttons are manipulated by hand, which represents a risk if that hand is brought to the eyes or mouth without having been well disinfected. In addition, these existing disinfectant fluid dispensers are for use in hospitals, in 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 replenish personal packaging distribution.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The large-format hand sanitizer fluid dispenser of the invention comprises a support pedestal on the floor, on which are arranged:

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

- means of holding the cylinder in a substantially inverted position,

-a formally and dimensionally suitable connector to interchangeably couple the mouth of the disinfectant fluid cylinder,

-a zone to place the hands to be disinfected,

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

-a first conduit that is connecting the connector with the outlet nozzle, and -a valve that is arranged in the first conduit or in the nozzle to regulate the outlet of the disinfectant fluid; wherein said valve comprises a manual mechanical valve provided with a linear actuating knob, comprising a lever coupled to said linear actuation knob that is extended outside the pedestal, configuring an actuating pusher.

This allows it to be actuated by pushing with the elbow and without the need to use the hands and as it is a totally mechanical actuation it dispenses with the use of solenoid valves or means that require power sources, which many times cannot be available in the ideal location, with the advantage of having a dispenser capable of accommodating large-format cylinders, guaranteeing can availability of the disinfectant liquid and guaranteeing its replacement in time.

In the present document, a linear drive control is understood to be actuated by a linear movement (not rotary), which can include any type of connecting rod, rod or the like that can be operated by a linear movement, although it is coupled to a control tap. rotary.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The dispenser (1) of large format hand sanitizer fluid (3) of the invention comprises a pedestal (10) for support on the floor, on which are arranged (see figs 1 and 2):

-a bottle (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 first conduit (6) that is connecting the connector (4) with the outlet nozzle (5) (see also fig 3), and

- a valve (7) that is arranged in the first conduit (6) or in the nozzle (5) to regulate the outlet of the disinfectant fluid (3); where the valve (7) comprises a manual mechanical valve provided with a linear actuator knob (70) (see fig 3), comprising a lever (71) coupled to said linear actuation knob (70) that is extended on the outside of the pedestal (10) configuring a drive pusher (72).

Preferably, the lever (71) is extended by the front part of the pedestal (10) in the actuating pusher (72), as seen in Figures 1 and 2, understood as the same part or front where the zone is placement of the hands, as it allows the front approach of the dispenser for use.

In the preferred example shown in the figures (see fig 3), the lever (71) comprises a posterior fulcrum (73) and an intermediate joint (74) through which it is attached to the control (70) of linear actuating of the valve (7) and the end actuating pusher (72), configuring a lever of the second kind. With this configuration, a large lever travel is obtained, which facilitates adjustment, combined with a comfortable-to-use positioning of the hand placement zone. To elaborate on this, precisely in this preferred example, the valve (7) is arranged in a vertical position and the path of the linear actuating knob (70) is also vertical, the outlet of the valve (7) being therefore directed inferiorly and leading to a lower recess (17) implemented in the pedestal (10), which is configuring the area for placing the hands. This box serves to collect splashes and maintain cleanliness, and prevents indiscriminate use by unauthorized persons, for example to fill personal cans - which is obviously an abuse that is avoided for cans that do not fit inside said box (17).

To facilitate handling, the dispenser (1) may additionally comprise a pedal (75) with an ascending extension (76) that is coupled to the lever (71), which allows actuation with the foot. Said ascending extension (76) is, for example, coupled to the lever (71) in the intermediate joint (74) through upper rocker arms (77) and tie rods (78) as seen in fig 3, which allows the double use of this intermediate joint (74) and avoids having to implement other connections.

In addition, the possible arrangement of a spring (77) to recover the closed position of the valve (7) (see fig 2) has been provided if necessary to ensure its closed position at rest, which can be arranged under the pedal (75) , or on the lever (71) itself.

Additionally, the invention has provided the provision of a second conduit (60) (see example of fig 2), which is connected to the connector (4) with an outlet tap (100), which is arranged in a housing (11) Inside the pedestal (10), which is in turn provided with a door (14) with a technical lock (15). This allows the filling of larger cans by authorized personnel.

Ideally, the cylinder (2) has a capacity between 5 and 20 liters, for example capacities of 5, 10, 15 or 20 liters, to achieve use by a large number of people, for example in offices or shops

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

The connector (4) can comprise, for example, a projecting 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 projecting tube ( 40) when placing the cylinder (2).

The pedestal (10) may comprise a counterweight to stabilize its placement, 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 in place, by filling it.

Precisely to facilitate transportation, it is preferred that the pedestal (10) comprises wheels, not shown, ideally two lateral parallel wheels arranged in the lower rear part of the pedestal.
