Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a touch switch/controller, including a cover plate with at least one opening (mouth), at least one sensor area in the form of a bowl with a mouth, depth, and curvature for method of use by the intersecting phalanges of a finger or thumb when bent (although any, the index finger is the preferred and suggested choice), a printed circuit board with evaluation and execution components located anywhere so long as in electrically conductive contact with said sensor.
  • the sensor may have an aperture in the curvature wherein a UV light is disposed. UV light of a certain frequency is known to be highly effective at penetrating thin- walled germs like viruses and bacteria. The light alters the genetic structure of the germs and they die.
  • the benefits include, job creation, helping prevent the spread of germs, bacteria, and infections, and more accessible facilities. Don't worry about the costs because ultimately there will be billions, most likely trillions of dollars of savings in healthcare costs over the years.
  • One example would be in our great country called Canada we have the wonderful province of Ontario which has implemented the AODA which is to be in full effect by 2025. It is no secret that this has been problematic and challenging to achieve and the clock is ticking. Ultimately the invention can help.
  • a touch switch/controller comprising a cover plate with at least one opening (mouth), a sensor (any form of touch sensor) area formed of a bowl which includes, a mouth, depth, and curvature, and may contain an aperture in the curvature wherein a UV light is disposed, which is fastened or disposed to the rear of the cover plate opening.
  • the size and shape of the mouths of both cover plate and sensor is arbitrary as long as they fit. Although not limited to, the preferred shape of the mouths of said sensor and cover plate is oval like shaped.
  • a printed circuit board is in electrically conductive contact with said sensor element and said UV element and any other light(s) that may be disposed among said switch/controller.
  • An insulation element may be required depending on types of materials and configuration of said switch/controller.
  • the invention can be constructed in such a way as to be mounted similar to the way a handicap push plate switch is.
  • the invention may also be flush mounted to a wall and may require an electrical junction box.
  • the invention may also have two sides (inner and outer) each unit with its own sensor(s), mounted directly on a door similar to the way a door knob is mounted together.
  • the invention may be comprised as follows.
  • Reference numeral 12 denotes a cover plate formed of plastic with an oval like shaped opening (mouth) 14 whereas a capacitive touch sensor 10 formed of metal material in the form of a bowl with an oval like shaped mouth which is fastened to or disposed at rear side of cover plate mouth 14.
  • Said sensor 10 is in electrically conductive contact with a printed circuit board 16 which contains electrical components for evaluation and execution purposes and power distribution.
  • the sensor 10 has an aperture in the curvature of the bowl wherein a light of the UV spectrum is disposed.
  • the cover plate 12 is formed of metal and an insulating element is disposed between the cover plate 12 and sensor element 10.
  • the senor 10 is at least partially formed of plastic but contains at least one metal element in electrically conductive contact with printed circuit board 16.
  • the sensor 10 may be formed of any form of touch sensor so long as its formed of a bowl with characteristic features for intended method of use 18.
  • the sensor 10 has at least one aperture in the curvature wherein a light(s) is disposed, there is then a detection element disposed at the base of the bowl in electrically conductive contact with printed circuit board 16, wherein when contacted by method of use 18, the light is blocked which signals an action or command to be executed.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande/commutateur tactile construit de manière économique pour un confort optimal et une utilisation efficace par l'intersection des phalanges d'un doigt ou du pouce lorsqu'il est plié, dans le but de prévenir la propagation de germes, de bactéries et d'infections. Bien que ledit commutateur/dispositif de commande puisse être utilisé dans une variété d'applications, un intérêt particulier réside dans le fait de proposer un commutateur/dispositif de commande pour des portes automatisées. Ledit commutateur/dispositif de commande comprend, mais sans y être limité, une plaque de protection dotée d'au moins une ouverture pour une zone de détection, au moins un élément de détection tactile constitué d'une cuvette qui peut posséder au moins une ouverture où est disposée une lampe UV, et une carte à circuit imprimé qui est en contact électriquement conducteur avec ledit/lesdits capteur(s) et la/les éventuelle(s) lampe(s) impliquée(s).
