[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention mainly relates to a sterilization / drying device for slippers used by an unspecified number of people, which is prepared in an inn or a hospital (clinic).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In public buildings such as inns and restaurants, hospitals and public facilities used by an unspecified number of people (hereinafter simply referred to as buildings), shoes and other footwear are used to enter the building. It is often the case that people took off at the entrance and changed to slippers prepared in advance in the building.

As described above, most of the slippers prepared in the building to be used by an unspecified number of people have a simple structure in which the instep cover is attached to the front part of the slipper table, and a large number of them are used. Many are made of vinyl.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, the large number of slippers prepared in the building, that is, the large number of vinyl slippers with the instep cover attached to the front part of the slipper table, are slippered by the person in charge so that the user can easily wear them. This is done only by changing the shoes to the place where they change clothes, that is, the place where the entrance or entrance of the building is fixed, but it is necessary to sterilize this kind of slippers regularly from the viewpoint of hygiene. Since there is no regulation and there is no active drying, even if it looks clean and looks clean, it is used by an unspecified number of people to replace it in a bag shape. The eggplant cover is constantly moist and the user may feel uncomfortable. In addition, the damp shell may be a good place for bacteria to propagate.

Considering the case of a ryokan, for example, the person usually wears slippers outside the room inside the ryokan. Therefore, in order to take a bath at the large public bath in the ryokan, go to the bath with slippers on. It is common practice to take off the slippers, go to the dressing room, and after bathing, put on the slippers in front of the dressing room worn by other people who came to take a bath. Therefore, slippers worn by people who go in and out of the bath are often worn by the bathers with their bare bare feet, and the instep cover remains moist and uncomfortable. In addition, the moisture inside the instep cover helps to propagate the bacteria.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a UV irradiation lamp to irradiate UV light to the slipper support on which the left and right slippers are hung so that the slippers can be easily sterilized and dried before use. It is distributed. Then, the left and right slippers are lifted, the slipper support is inserted into the instep cover, and ultraviolet rays are radiated into the instep cover to sterilize and dry them in a short time when the hand is released from the slippers.

[0007]

[Embodiment of device]

 According to the present invention, a pair of slipper supports are provided on a base at a predetermined interval, an ultraviolet irradiation lamp is installed in the slipper support, and a timer and a slipper detection are provided in a lighting circuit of the ultraviolet irradiation lamp. The slipper detector is designed to operate by closing the lighting circuit by operating the slipper support with the slipper in the normal position.

The interval between the pair of slipper supports is preferably set so that the left and right slippers can be lifted in a state of being aligned and the slippers can be undone as they are.

In addition, the above-mentioned slipper sensor is composed of a switch installed at two places of the slipper support body in different places, and when the slipper is slid on the slipper support body and closed, it is closed by the weight or pressure of the slipper. Then, it is preferable to energize the ultraviolet irradiation lamp.

In the slipper sterilization / drying apparatus configured as described above, when the left and right slippers are aligned, the slipper is lifted, the slipper support is inserted into the instep cover, and the hand is released from the slipper. The irradiation lamp lights up for a predetermined period of time to irradiate ultraviolet rays into the instep cover to sterilize and dry it.

Since the left and right slippers can be lifted and hung on the pair of slipper supports in the aligned state, the slippers can be easily attached to and detached from the slipper supports with only one fingertip of one hand.

Further, when two switches are used as the slipper detector, the two switches are closed when the slipper is settled, the slipper is put on the support of the slipper, the hand is released from the slipper, and the UV irradiation lamp is closed. There is no unnecessary irradiation of ultraviolet rays as it is energized.

【Example】

 An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a base, and 2 is a pair of slipper support members provided on the base 1, which stand upright with respect to the base 1, With the slippers A aligned, the slippers A are lifted to stand up with their toes up, and the slipper support 2 is inserted into the instep cover B for hanging. The distance between the two slipper supports 2 is set so that the slipper A lifted with the toe up can be lowered and hung up. In the embodiment, the slipper support body 2 is formed in a wide plate shape, and the slipper A is hung on the slipper support C so that the surface of the slipper base C of the slipper A corresponds to the back side of the slipper support body 2. B corresponds to the upper part of the front side of the slipper support 2 and is stabilized.

Reference numeral 3 is an ultraviolet irradiation lamp provided on the slipper support 2, and the irradiation range of the ultraviolet irradiation lamp 3 is set so that ultraviolet rays do not leak from the inside of the instep cover B. In order to effectively irradiate the corresponding slipper surface with ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet ray irradiation lamp 3, the slipper support 2 is provided with ultraviolet ray transmitting portions 4 having through holes and the like formed at appropriate positions.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a slipper sensor provided on the slipper support 2, which is inserted in the lighting circuit 6 of the ultraviolet irradiation lamp 3 as shown in FIG. 3.
