Description

The present invention relates to a foot-operated disinfectant spraying device used by being attached to a pump-type disinfectant container.

In order to prevent infectious diseases caused by viruses such as the new coronavirus, pump-type disinfectant containers are often installed in hospitals, restaurants, offices, and the like. The pump-type disinfectant liquid container has a bottle body containing a disinfectant solution, an elevating head with an upward elastically urged injection nozzle, and a cap for attaching the elevating head to the upper opening of the bottle body. It is configured to spray the disinfectant by pressing the head by hand. In a disinfectant container having such a configuration, an unspecified number of people may touch the elevating head, and a virus may adhere to the elevating head. Therefore, the elevating head is not touched. Various foot-operated disinfectant spraying devices that can spray disinfectant have been proposed.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a tray detachably attached to the upper part of a self-supporting column, a pressing body for pressing an elevating head of a disinfectant container placed on the tray, and a lower part of the column. A disinfectant solution spraying device including a stepping pedal arranged in the above and a power conversion mechanism for converting a stepping motion applied to the stepping pedal into a pushing motion of a pressing body is disclosed. Here, the pressing body has a top wall that presses the top of the elevating head and four regulating walls that regulate the movement of the elevating head in the front-back and left-right directions, and an injection nozzle is applied to one of the regulating walls. There is an opening for inserting the.

Therefore, the user can visually recognize that the disinfectant has been sprayed, and in particular, when the surface light emitting type lighting unit 12 is adopted, there is an impact due to the rainbow color and gradation light emission. It can be lit. At that time, since the blinking switch 21 of the lighting unit 12 is operated by the movement of the wire 4, the switch 21 is placed on either the support member 2 through which the wire 4 passes, the relay bracket 15, or the pedal cradle 17. Can be installed selectively, increasing the degree of freedom in design. However, a switch 21 including a micro switch, a rotary switch, or the like may be arranged inside the pedal cradle 17, and the foot pedal 5 may directly turn on / off such a switch 21.

Further, the disinfectant spraying device according to the first embodiment includes a damper means 19 for relaxing the stepping force of the foot pedal 5, and the impact force when the foot pedal 5 is strongly depressed is absorbed by the damper means 19. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the disinfectant from being sprayed vigorously.

In the disinfectant spraying device according to the first embodiment, a coil spring (not shown) is interposed in the middle of the wire 4, and when the foot pedal 5 is depressed, the wire 4 is extended with the extension operation of the coil spring. The pressing body 3 may be pushed down.
