Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the field of devices for washing, disinfecting and drying the hands.
  • the main aim of the present invention is therefore to realize a single device which carries out all the functions described above, according to an automatic programme or one which is set each time, allowing at the same time a check on the consumption of materials used (soap, disinfectant, paper) and the signalling of their depletion.
  • a second aim is to realize a device which, in one of its embodiments, can be adapted for already existing sanitary installations.
  • An additional aim is to realize a device capable of disinfecting itself automatically at predetermined inter­vals, so as to guarantee a continuing perfect hygiene.
  • the last aim is to realize a device which is easy to construct and to maintain, consisting of blocks assembled in a simple manner, all accessible and easy to substi­tute.
  • the device object of the present invention comprising a body 1, having a parallelepiped shape with a part projecting upwards, inside which a control block 2 is located, consisting of a plurality of control keys 2a, a delivery spout 3, which can be a two- or three-way type, a display 4, a pair of photoelectric cells 5, and a plurality of indicators 6.
  • a tank 7 is located, enclosed inside the body 1, which has a drain 8 on its lower surface.
  • a door 9 in which an opening 10 is located, closed with a swing door 11, into which the paper used for drying the hands is thrown, and a slot 12 for dispensing the paper for drying.
  • FIG. 1b it can be seen how the opening 10 is part of a container 13 for collecting the used paper and other waste; a roll 14 of paper can also be seen connected to the slot 12.
  • An electric motor not shown in the drawings, is connected to the axis of the roll 14.
  • On the bottom of the device two containers 15 and 16 are positioned, which contain liquid detergent and disinfectant, also liquid, respectively, or any other liquid substance which it may be desired to use.
  • a duct 17 is connected to the container 15, and carries the detergent to the delivery spout 3; duct 17 is equipped with a small pump 18 for feeding spout 3.
  • a duct 19, equipped with a pump 20, is connected to the container 16.
  • an electric boiler 21 is located, which rests on a support 22.
  • a pipe 23 is located, for feeding cold water;
  • a second pipe 24 is located, for the outlet of hot water.
  • the boiler 21 is also provided with a thermostat 25, while the pipes 23 and 24 are each provided with a solenoid valve, 26 and 27 respectively.
  • the operation of the device is as follows; first of all it is switched on (this is shown by one of the indicators 6 or by a message such as "Machine working" appearing on the display 4), and then the programme is set by acting on the control block 2, in which the keys 2a are located which govern the following functions: - switching on/off the device; - operating the device manually or automatically; - regulating the quantities of detergent and disinfec­tant; - regulating the quantity of water; - regulating the temperature of water (cold water can also be obtained by disconnecting the boiler); - setting the times of the duration of the various phases and of the wait between one phase and the next; - regulating the length of the dispensed strip of paper; - regulating the self-disinfecting programme (which will be explained later).
  • the complete standard operating cycle of the described device is as follows: - bringing the hands under the spout 3; this is detected by the photoelectric cells 5 and revealed by one of the indicators 6; - appearance of a message such as "Start of washing cycle" on the display 4; - dispensing of a predetermined quantity of detergent, obtained by operation of pump 18 for a set time; - an interval of time available for soaping, during which a message such as "Wait” appears on the display 4; - delivery of a predetermined quantity of water for rinsing, at a set temperature, obtained by means of operation of the solenoid valves 26 and 27 located on the pipes 23 and 24, during which a message such as "First rinse” appears on the display 4; - dispensing of a predetermined quantity of disinfectant, obtained by means of the operation of the pump 20 for a set time; - interval of time available for distributing the disinfectant on the hands, during which a message such as "Wait” appears on the display 4; - delivery of
  • the display 4 is used also to show the number of complete cycles carried out by the device, as well as a partial number of cycles, capable of being set to zero by means of a pushbotton not shown in the drawings. In this way information can be obtained concerning the consumption of the materials (detergent, disinfectant, water) and they can be replenished. The depletion of the stock of detergent, disinfectant or paper is signalled by the switching on of one of the indicators 6.
  • the device described up to this point also forsees the possibility of carrying out a self-disinfecting action; once the moment for carrying out such a programme (for example during the night) and its duration have been programmed by means of the control block 2, the boiler 21 is activated at the moment scheduled and heats the water up to a temperature of 80-90°C. The water which is heated in this way is then made to circulate inside the pipes and made to come out of the spout 3, thus guaranteeing the internal cleaning of the pipes.
  • FIG 2a and 2b another embodiment can be seen of the device which is the object of the present invention.
  • the parts which make up this embodiment are completely analogous to those already described with reference to figures 1a and 1b and are indicated with the same identifying numbers.
  • the only difference lies in the fact that, in this case, no washing tank is foreseen, since this type of embodiment is suitable for applying to an existing wash basin, provided with a delivery spout, the pipes 17, 19 and 24 being able to be connected to the said spout or to a second delivery spout, to be installed at the side of the existing one.
  • the device has been realized for cleaning the hands, which meets the aforesaid aims, since it allows the different phases of washing, rinsing, disinfecting and drying to be carried out; it can also signal the consumption of the materials used.
  • the device can be applied, in one of its embodiments, to existing sanitary installations; it is also capable of self-disinfecting and consists of block units which are easy to replace and maintain.
