Abstract

Device designed to freshen shoes by disinfecting and drying them without the user having to remove them. It limits the diffusion of bacteria and dries the shoes on, around and underneath each shoe. It consists of an upper housing (2) and a lower housing (4). Resting on the upper housing (2) is a mesh (1). The presence sensor triggers the device (E1) which actuates the aerosol can (B1) and the air jet is triggered after this cycle by S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 situated in the lower housing (4). The filter (3) retains the impurities and the water. The programmer (P1) is for selecting different modes of use of the device: - diffusion of bacteriocidal disinfectant only, - jet of fresh air only, - jet of hot air only, - diffusion of bacteriocide and jet of fresh air, or - diffusion of bacteriocide and jet of hot air.

Description

The present invention relates to a device for drying and disinfecting

  the shoes without having to take them off or sheathed them in any way to limit the

diffusion of bacteria.

  The entrance mat wipes at most the underside of the wet shoe, however the shoe will leave a mark on a tile The plastic bags in which a shoe is put on

  limiting the spread of impurts has no bactericidal action.

  The device allows to remedy these drawbacks. The user climbs on the grid of the device, an electronic presence detector device activates a mechanism yes acts on an aerosol can (interchangeable), the diffusion of the product

  bactericide is carried out: under, around, and on shoes.

  Once the diffusion of bactericidal product finished the drying sequence of the shoes begins, by the airultivation simultaneously under, and laterally with respect to the shoes Under the grid a filter (interchangeable) allows to retain

  impurities as well as water from excessively wet shoes.

  The choice of programming is offered to the user who will select according to use:

  -only the distribution of bactericidal disinfectant.

-only the fresh air supply.

-only the hot air supply.

  -the diffusion of bactericidal product and the supply of fresh air.

  -the diffusion of bactericidal product and the exhaustion of hot air.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the apparatus:

  Figure 1 shows the front view of the device.

  Figure 2 shows the front view of the lower case.

  Figure 3 shows the top view of the lower case.

  Figure 4 shows the front view of the lower right.

  Figure 5 shows the top view of the upper case.

  With reference to these drawings, the device consists of an upper box (2) which, by its shape, allows air to be guided on the sides of the shoes, box on which a grid (1) rests, and on which is positioned a programmer with indicator lights

PF status indication ').

  The lower case (4) contains the fans and resistors

  heating: (Sl), (S2, (S3), (S4), (S5), (S6.

The air guides (D1), (D2).

  The aerosol can (Bl). The mechanism activating or not the aerosol can (Ei). The filter (3). The electronic plate (5) controls the

  all the electromechanical elements constituting the device.

  Each electronic, electrotechnical element taken independently

is known in itself.

  The boxes are made of plastic or according to

  variants not shown in light metal alloy.

  according to a variant not illustrated, the device will run

embedded in the ground.

  By way of nonlimiting example, the device will have dimensions of 60cm in length, 40cm in width, 14cm in height

  at the side vents and iOcm at the grid.

  The device is intended to dry the knocks and to diffuse on

a bactericidal product.
