Description

DESCRIPTION

DEVICE FOR APPLYING A DISINFECTING SOLUTION ON THE SKIN OF

AN USER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device for applying a disinfectant solution to the skin of a user, which is included in the field of dispensing devices for sanitary or cosmetic solutions, and more particularly dispensing devices that, by means of a rotating ball, apply a thin sheet of a product to achieve a more practical, simple and efficient application of said product on human skin, mainly on the palms and backs of the hands, thus avoiding the negative effects of excessive use of the product in each exposure. The device that describes the present invention can be reusable and refillable as well as portable and not very bulky, thus allowing it to be carried in the user's pocket.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hand washing with soap and water or with a hydroalcoholic solution is one of the most effective, practical and economical measures to fight against viruses or epidemics such as COVID19. However, due to social, work and daily life, it is difficult to have soap and water on hand at all times, and outside the home, it is necessary to search for a faucet or sink on a recurring basis. However, sinks and taps can sometimes be non-existent in some establishments or public spaces.

Some solutions are known in the state of the art, such as, for example, the sale of containers containing hydroalcoholic solutions. However, the containers known in the state of the art are bulky and have significant difficulties in their handling, as well as contraindications that can be potentiated due to the uncontrollable and aggressive nature of dispensing - in excess - said hydroalcoholic solutions through conventional dispensers.

More in particular, hydroalcoholic solutions are highly flammable, cause serious eye irritation and, in case of accidental ingestion, are highly toxic. As a consequence, they must be applied in a very controlled and localized manner. The Health authorities warn about possible side effects on the hands, as well as other consequences for an abuse in the amount of the use of these hydroalcoholic solutions. Some of these consequences are: damage to the hands (pH imbalance, dryness, dermatitis), hormonal and thyroid effects, risks when smoking immediately after applying, serious eye damage in case of prolonged exposure or accident.

Currently the bottles or dispensers that contain these solutions do not allow a controlled and localized application of the product, which entails a cumbersome, excessive application, and with unnecessary expense.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention aims to solve some of the problems mentioned in the state of the art. More specifically, the present invention describes a device for applying a disinfectant solution to the skin of a user, comprising:

- a flexible container to house the disinfectant solution,

- an outer piece of cylindrical configuration hermetically joined to the flexible container, where said outer piece has an inner conduit through which the disinfectant solution is channeled,

-an elastic gasket that snaps into the inner duct,

- an applicator piece comprising:

-a cylinder inserted into the elastic joint, where said cylinder has an inner channel connected to the inner conduit of the outer part,

- a rotating ball that snaps into the inner channel of the cylinder and rotates on said inner channel,

So that the user when pressing on the walls of the flexible container compresses the disinfectant solution that consequently flows through the inner conduit connected to the inner channel, thus impregnating the rotating ball of disinfectant solution destined to be applied to the user's skin in a controlled manner. .

By using the rotating ball, the device allows a simple application without excess liquid, being also regulated in quantity by the pressure exerted by the user on the walls of the flexible container, thus allowing to apply thin sheets of the disinfectant solution, where said disinfectant solution can be, for example, a hydroalcoholic gel intended to be applied to the hands by contact with the rotating ball.

Likewise, the device described above allows to apply the disinfectant solution in optimized and controlled quantities, avoiding accidents due to excessive use of the disinfectant solution.

Advantageously, the device with the mentioned technical characteristics can be dimensioned with a volume adapted to be able to be housed in a pocket so that the device can be portable.

Furthermore, the device can be reusable, being able to be refilled by means of a syringe that is introduced through the inner conduit of the outer part.

Advantageously, the device further comprises a plug inserted under pressure on the outside of the cylinder, wherein said plug comprises an internal housing to protect the rotating ball and a through hole intended to introduce a cord to tie the device to the user.

Preferably the outer part in an upper portion comprises an outer ring that projects on the outer surface of the cylindrical configuration of said outer part. Said outer ring allows greater ergonomics in the user grip of the device and greater ease in applying the device. sanitizing solution.

Furthermore, the flexible container can be attached to the outer part using said outer ring as the attachment surface.

Alternatively, the flexible container may be hermetically attached to any other portion of the removable part.

Advantageously, the cylinder of the applicator piece is provided with a projection adapted to abut the elastic joint.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented: Figure 1.- Shows an exploded front view of a preferred embodiment of the device where the removable part, the flexible container, the elastic joint and the applicator part are shown.

Figure 2.- Shows a front view of the preferred embodiment of figure 1, where the assembled device is shown to be used.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, the preferred embodiment of the device (1) for applying a disinfectant solution to the skin of a user is described with the help of Figures 1-2.

Figure 1 shows a front exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the device (1) where it is shown that said device (1) comprises an outer part (2) of cylindrical configuration hermetically joined to a flexible container (3) through a ring (10), where said outer part (2) has an inner conduit (4) through which the disinfectant solution is channeled.

Likewise, figure 1 shows that the device (1) further comprises an elastic joint (5) dimensioned to snap into the inner conduit (4).

Figure 1 illustrates an applicator piece (6) which in turn comprises a cylinder (8) adapted to be inserted into the elastic joint (5), where said cylinder (8) has an inner channel (7) connected to the inner conduit (5) from the outer part (2).
