Description

AREA OF TECHNOLOGY

[0001] The technical solution involves a dispenser for liquid soap or shampoo, which is integrated under the mixer tap. CURRENT STATE OF THE TECHNOLOGY

[0002] Nowadays, soaps and disinfectants in various states of matter are used for hand, body, and hair hygiene. The oldest means of washing hands and body, and still in use today, is bar soap. It is usually sold in paper packaging and then transferred by consumers to plastic boxes or placed in various holders. Using such soap is highly personal, even intimate. Every consumer should have their own bar of this type. Various washing pastes or powders are also used for handwashing, which are stored by the consumer in a wide-mouthed plastic container. This container is closed after each use. Perhaps the most common state of matter in which soaps and shampoos are used is liquid.These soaps and shampoos are sold in plastic containers in the form of bottles with resealable lids. In this case, one package of shampoo or soap can be used by several people, since each person closes the plastic bottle after use, and the contents of the bottle do not come into contact with the user's skin. Recently, there has been a significant increase in the use of soaps and shampoos from dispensers that operate using a mechanical pump, i.e., they are touchless. Touchless dispensers for liquid soaps and shampoos require an electrical source to power both the motion sensor and the pump. NATURE OF THE TECHNICAL SOLUTION

[0003] The dispenser for liquid soap or shampoo is achieved by a solution defined in the claims of this utility model. Its essence lies in the fact that it is connected below the mixer tap and consists of a T-piece. The inlet section of this T-piece is connected to the mixer tap, and its outlet section is connected to the mixer tap's spout or the shower hose. The dispensing unit contains a valve behind which a container for liquid soap or shampoo is connected. A pipe leads from the dispensing unit to the outlet section to reduce the negative pressure within the dispensing unit. This negative pressure is created when water flows from the mixer tap through the inlet section into the outlet section and subsequently into the mixer tap's spout or the shower hose. Opening the valve in the dispensing unit releases the liquid soap or shampoo into the flow of water from the inlet section to the outlet section.The liquid soap or shampoo flows from the reservoir into the dispenser by gravity, or a spring can be installed in the reservoir to force the liquid soap or shampoo out. The valve in the dispenser can be mechanical or electronically controlled by a motion sensor. The entire unit can be installed in the wall or bathroom furniture, with the dispenser valve and the reservoir's filling opening located in a clearly visible and accessible position. OVERVIEW OF THE IMAGES IN THE DRAWINGS

[0004] Figure 1 shows a dispenser without a spring in the container for liquid soap or shampoo. Figure 2 shows a dispenser with a spring in the container for liquid soap or shampoo. EXAMPLES OF IMPLEMENTING THE TECHNICAL SOLUTION

[0005] The liquid soap or shampoo dispenser for connection under the mixer tap consists of a T-piece 1, the inlet 2 of which is connected to the mixer tap, and its outlet 3 of which is connected to the mixer tap's spout or the shower hose. The dispensing unit 4 contains a valve 5, behind which a reservoir 6 for liquid soap or shampoo is connected. A pipe 7 leads from the dispensing unit 4 to the outlet 3 to reduce the negative pressure in the dispensing unit 4, which is created when water flows from the mixer tap through the inlet 2 into the outlet 3 and subsequently into the mixer tap's spout or the shower hose. By opening the valve 5 in the dispensing unit 4, the liquid soap or shampoo enters the water flow from the inlet 2 into the outlet 3.The liquid soap or shampoo flows from the container 6 into the dispensing unit 4 by gravity, or a spring 8 can be installed in the container 6 to force the liquid soap or shampoo out. The valve 5 in the dispensing unit 4 can be mechanical or electronically controlled by a motion sensor.

[0006] The dispenser for liquid soap or shampoo is connected below the mixing tap and consists of a T-piece 1, the inlet part 2 of which is connected to the mixing tap, and its outlet part 3 is connected to the outlet of the mixing tap or to the shower hose, the metering part 4 contains a valve 5, behind which the container 6 for liquid soap or shampoo is connected, and a pipe 7 leads from the metering part 4 into the outlet part 3 to reduce the negative pressure in the metering part 4. INDUSTRIAL USE

[0007] The device mentioned is particularly suitable for use in the field of personal care, be it in hospital facilities, inpatient facilities, retirement homes as an aid for healthcare personnel in patient hygiene, but also in fitness centers, wellness centers, in the changing rooms of sports clubs and gymnasiums for cleaning users or athletes.
