Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a foot-operated disinfectant liquid dispenser that can be easily and stably installed. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, hand disinfection has involved the use of pump-type disinfectant bottles that spray disinfectant (also known as alcohol-based disinfectant) by pushing the nozzle. However, since users had to manually press the nozzle to spray the disinfectant, it was not completely hygienic.

[0003] In particular, during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic that began worldwide in 2020, it was noted that the most effective preventive measures were hand disinfection along with wearing a mask, which led to a desire to use a device that could spray disinfectant without having to touch the nozzle with hands.

[0004] In view of this, Patent Document 1 discloses a disinfectant stand that allows the user to spray disinfectant by stepping on a pedal with their foot, without having to touch the disinfectant with their hands. That is, in the disinfectant stand of Patent Document 1, when a pedal is stepped on, a moving body installed inside the hollow stand descends, and the descending pressing body presses the nozzle of the disinfectant bottle, causing the disinfectant to be sprayed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3232120 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The disinfectant stand described in Patent Document 1 has a high center of gravity and is unstable because the disinfectant bottle is held at a height within reach of the hand. In particular, when a temperature measuring means is installed in the disinfectant stand, the disinfectant stand becomes significantly unstable.

[0007] In addition, in order to stably install a disinfectant stand with a high center of gravity on the floor, it is necessary to place a weight on the pedestal (base) installed on the floor or to fix the pedestal to the floor by some other means, which makes the installation process complicated. Alternatively, these steps can be avoided by designing the pedestal to have a large surface area, but this creates the problem that it cannot be installed in a small space.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional technology, and has an object to provide a foot-operated disinfectant liquid supplying device that can be installed easily and stably and that can achieve space saving. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] A foot-operated disinfectant supplying device in a first aspect of the present invention is a foot-operated disinfectant supplying device in which, when a pedal is depressed, a rod inserted into a hollow support so as to be able to move up and down descends, and a lever provided at the upper end of the rod presses a nozzle of a disinfectant bottle, causing disinfectant to spray from the disinfectant bottle, and the support is characterized in that it is detachably fixed to a plate arranged on a wall surface.

[0010] More preferably, the device is characterized in that it includes a magnet for removably fixing the support column to the plate.

[0011] More preferably, the device is characterized in that it includes a restraining device for restraining the support column to the plate.

[0012] More preferably, the disinfectant bottle may be provided with a bottle holder for suspending the disinfectant bottle from the support.

[0013] More preferably, the pedal is supported on a base installed on a floor surface so as to be elastically tiltable. Effect of the Invention

[0014] The foot-operated disinfectant dispenser of the present invention has an advantage that the support pole is detachably fixed to the plate, so that it can be easily and stably installed by leaning it against a wall. If the support pole is detachably fixed by a magnet, it can be easily removed from the plate. If the support pole is restrained by a restraining device, it can be prevented from falling even when a large force is applied. If the disinfectant bottle is hung by the bottle holder, it can be prevented from falling. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. [Example 1]

[0017] A foot-operated disinfectant liquid dispenser according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figs. 1 to 6. As shown in the figure, the foot-operated disinfectant supplying device 1 of this embodiment is mainly composed of a rod 10, a hollow support (guide pipe) 20, a bottle holder 30, a pedal 40, a base 50, etc., and when the pedal 40 is stepped on, the rod 10 inserted into the hollow support 20 so as to be able to move up and down freely descends, and the lever 13 provided at the upper end of the rod 10 presses the nozzle 61 of the disinfectant bottle 60, causing disinfectant to spray from the disinfectant bottle 60.

[0018] That is, as shown in FIG. 1, rod 10 consists of a solid vertical shaft portion 11, a horizontal shaft portion 12 bent at approximately a right angle at the upper end of vertical shaft portion 11, and a rectangular lever 13 attached to the tip of horizontal shaft portion 12.

[0019] A small hole 14 is provided horizontally at the lower end of the vertical shaft portion 11, and a pin 15 passes through this small hole 14. Disks 16 and 17 are attached to both ends of the pin 15 to prevent it from coming off. The pin 15 connects the rod 10 to the pedal 40, as will be described later. Therefore, when the pedal 40 is stepped on, the rod 10 descends, and the lever 13 presses the nozzle 61 of the disinfectant bottle 60 (see FIG. 6).

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the support 20 is cylindrical, and the vertical shaft portion 11 of the rod 10 is inserted into the support 20 so as to be movable up and down. A small hole 21 is provided horizontally at the bottom end of the support 20, and a pin 22 passes through this small hole 21, and discs 23, 24 for preventing the pin 22 from falling out are fastened with nuts at both ends of the pin 22. As will be described later, the pin 22 connects the support 20 to a support part 52 of a base 50 having a U-shaped cross section. The length of the pin 22 is approximately the same as the width of the support part 52.

[0021] In addition, a vertically long hole 25 is provided in the horizontal direction above the small hole 21 of the support 20. The pin 15 attached to the lower end of the rod 10 passes through this hole 25, and the vertical movement of the rod 10 and the pin 15 is permitted by the hole 25.

[0022] 3, bottle holder 30 comprises a horizontal plate portion 31 and a vertical plate portion 32 joined at a substantially right angle by a hinge 33. By using hinge 33, the angle between horizontal plate portion 31 and vertical plate portion 32 can be adjusted to an angle other than 90 degrees.

[0023] The horizontal plate portion 31 is provided with a connection hole 38 having the same diameter as the diameter of the support column 20, and the upper end of the support column 20 is integrally connected to this connection hole 38 by welding or the like. The horizontal plate portion 31 may be provided with a decorative plate to hide the welding marks. Further, the horizontal plate portion 31 is provided with a holding hole 34 for suspending and holding a disinfectant bottle 60 (see FIG. 6).

[0024] The inner diameter of the holding hole 34 is the same as the diameter of the neck of the disinfectant bottle 60. In order to hang the disinfectant bottle 60 in the holding hole 34, the disinfectant bottle 60 is separated into a main body and a nozzle portion, and the neck portion of the main body is passed through the holding hole 34, and the nozzle portion is inserted and screwed in. In addition, since the thickness of the neck of the disinfectant bottle 60 varies depending on the manufacturer, the inner diameter of the holding hole 34 should be set to the maximum value, and a circular spacer (not shown) with an inner diameter corresponding to each manufacturer should be prepared and inserted between the neck of the disinfectant bottle 60 and the holding hole 34.

[0025] Meanwhile, three magnets 35, 36, 37 are attached to the back surface of the vertical plate portion 32. These three magnets 35, 36, 37 are used to detachably fix the vertical plate portion 32 to a plate (iron plate) 70 arranged on the wall surface A (see FIG. 6). It is advisable to form a silicone coating on the magnets 35, 36, 37 to prevent them from being scratched. It is desirable to place the plate 70 on the wall surface A with double-sided tape, but it is also possible to install it with screws or the like.

[0026] 4, the pedal 40 is provided with a U-shaped recess 41 at the rear to avoid collision with the support 20, and is provided with side plates 43 on both sides of the rear, each having a horizontally long hole 42. The rod 10 and the pedal 40 are connected by the pin 15 provided at the lower end of the rod 10 passing through the long hole 42.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 5, the base 50 is to be placed on a floor surface B (see FIG. 6), and at the rear of the base 50 is provided a support portion 52 having a U-shaped cross section and two circular holes 51 on both sides. The pins 22 provided at the lower ends of the posts 20 pass through these round holes 51 .

[0028] Furthermore, the rear part of the base 50 is provided with a bent part 58 that is bent upward. This is to prevent the bent part 58 from scratching the wall A, since the base 50 is disposed so as to be in contact with the wall A. Also, this is to prevent the base 50 from entering into a gap, if there is one between the wall A and the floor B.

[0029] In addition, the front part of the pedal 40 is tiltably connected to the front part of the base 50 by a hinge 53, and by inserting springs 56, 57 between stud bolts 54, 55 fixed upward to the base 50 and stud bolts 44, 45 fixed downward to the pedal 40, the pedal 40 is supported so that it can tilt elastically relative to the base 50.

[0030] The foot-operated disinfectant supply device of this embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration has the bottle holder 30 and the support post 20 integrated therewith fixedly and detachably to the plate 70 arranged on the wall surface A by three magnets 35, 36, 37 as shown in Figure 6, thereby achieving the effect of being able to lean it stably against the wall surface A (attached to the wall rather than standing on its own). That is, since the foot-operated disinfectant supply device of this embodiment is placed against the wall surface A, there is no need to place a weight on the base 50 to prevent the base 50 from falling over, and there is no need to fix the base 50 to the floor surface B. In addition, there is no need to increase the area of ​​the base 50. In other words, the foot-operated disinfectant supply device of this embodiment can be easily installed, and it is possible to achieve space saving and weight reduction.

[0031] In addition, since the magnets 35, 36, and 37 are used to make the magnets 35, 36, and 37 detachable, when the magnets 35, 36, and 37 are no longer needed, the magnets 35, 36, and 37 can be applied with a force greater than the magnetic force thereof to easily remove the magnets 35, 36, and 37.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the disinfectant bottle 60 is suspended from the support 20 by the bottle holder 30, the disinfectant bottle 60 will not fall even if an external force is applied, as compared to a case in which the disinfectant bottle is simply mounted on a table or the like.

[0033] In addition, the wall surface A and floor surface B are not limited to those of buildings, but also broadly include the wall surfaces and floor surfaces of vehicles such as buses. [Example 2]

[0034] A foot operated disinfectant liquid dispenser according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the foot-operated disinfectant supply device of this embodiment has a restraining device 80 added to restrain the bottle holder 30 and the support post 20 (not shown) integrated therewith to the plate 70. The rest of the structure is the same as in the previously described embodiment, and provides the same functions and effects.

[0035] That is, plate 70 is formed with a stepped groove 71 and a hole 72 connected to groove 71. Meanwhile, vertical plate portion 32 constituting bottle holder 30 is formed with a key-shaped recess 32a.

[0036] A restraining device 80 formed by binding a wire into a ring shape is engaged with the hole 72 through the groove 71 of the plate 70 and is also engaged with the recess 32 a of the vertical plate portion 32 . Therefore, unless the restraining device 80 is intentionally pulled out of the hole 72 through the groove 71 of the plate 70, the bottle holder 30 and the support post 20 integrated therewith are restrained against the plate 70. However, the restraining device 80 does not completely fix the bottle holder 30 and the support post 20, but rather has a certain degree of slack (play).

[0037] Furthermore, when moving the foot-operated disinfectant supply device of this embodiment, the restraining device 80 is pulled out of the hole 72 through the groove 71 of the plate 70, and the restraint between the bottle holder 30 and the support 20 integrated therewith and the plate 70 is released.

[0038] The foot-operated disinfectant supply device of this embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration has the restraint device 80 engaging with the hole portion 72 through the groove 71 of the plate 70 and also engaging with the recess 32a of the vertical plate portion 32, thereby achieving the effect of restraining the bottle holder 30 and the support 20 integrated therewith against the plate 70.

[0039] Therefore, even if an external force greater than the magnetic force of magnets 35, 36, and 37 (not shown) is inadvertently applied to the bottle holder 30 and the support 20 integrated therewith, the foot-operated disinfectant supply device of this embodiment will not tip over. [Industrial Applicability]

[0040] The foot-operated disinfectant liquid dispenser of the present invention can be easily installed by leaning it against a wall, and therefore can be widely used industrially. [Explanation of symbols]
