Definitions

  • This invention relates to a soap dispenser formed of a hermetically sealed disposable bottle filled with cleaning liquid, the disposable bottle being disposed within a dispenser that can be closed with a cover and comprises a squeezer, by means of which the cleaning liquid can be dispensed onto a person's hands, the squeezer being formed of an actuator having an e.g. battery-operated press lever and receiving an actuating impulse from e.g. an infrared eye, which detects a person's hands that have been put under the dispenser, and dispenses a suitable amount of cleaning agent onto the person's hands.
  • an actuator having an e.g. battery-operated press lever and receiving an actuating impulse from e.g. an infrared eye, which detects a person's hands that have been put under the dispenser, and dispenses a suitable amount of cleaning agent onto the person's hands.
  • the device operates without being touched.
  • a manual dispenser is used for corresponding hermetically sealed bottles.
  • a manual dispenser provides cleaning liquid in a suitable amount onto one hand of a person, while the person performs the dispensing by actuating a dispensing lever protruding from the device with his other elbow.
  • Dispensers operating without being touched are also available on the market, however, these dispensers do not comprise the cleaning agent in a sterilised package.
  • Practice has shown that dispensing by means of a dispensing lever and a person's elbow results in the dispensed amount being far too small and being dispensed onto one hand alone, which is not always enough for hygienic hand cleaning.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the shortcomings mentioned above.
  • the soap dispenser of the invention is characterised in the electronics of the soap dispenser being combined with recording of the number of times the dispenser is used, allowing surveillance of the times required in order to maintain an adequate level of hygiene per ward/shift in a hospital, for instance.
  • the soap dispenser consists of a disposable bottle 1 filled with cleaning liquid and having a valve 2 at its bottom part.
  • the disposable bottle can be placed in a frame 4 that can be closed with a cover 3 and enclosing an actuator 5.
  • the actuator 5 has a press lever 8 driven by a battery 6 and a motor part 7.
  • the valve of the disposable bottle 1 is placed into an opening 9 in the centre of the actuator 5, with the valve 2 at the end of the disposable bottle being disposed at the press lever 8.
  • the turning lever 10 of the actuator 5 has a plurality of holes 11, allowing staggered adjustment of the squeezing movement of the press lever 8.
  • the electronics of the actuator also allows adjustment of the dispensed amount by means of one, two or more consecutive squeezing movements.
  • the actuator receives an actuating impulse from an infrared eye provided below the dispenser as a person puts his hands under the soap dispenser. When there is no more cleaning agent, the empty disposable bottle 1 is removed and replaced with another bottle.
