Abstract
Description
[0001] LIQUID SOAP OR SHAMPOO DISPENSER
[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The technical solution relates to the dispenser of liquid soap or shampoo, which is integrated under the water tap.
[0004] BACKGROUND
[0005] Currently, soaps and disinfectants in various forms are used for hand, body, and hair hygiene. The oldest means of washing hands and body, still in use today, is hard soap. It is usually sold in paper packaging, and consumers then transfer it to plastic boxes or store it in various holders. The use of such soap is highly personal and even intimate. Every consumer should have its own soap. Various washing pastes or powders are also used for washing of hands, which consumers store in wide-necked plastic vessels. After each use, the consumer closes the plastic vessel. Perhaps the most commonly used form in which soaps and shampoos are used is liquid. Such soaps and shampoos are sold in plastic vessels in the form of bottles with resealable caps. In this case, one package of shampoo or soap can be used by multiple consumers because after use, every consumer closes the plastic bottle and the contents of the bottle do not come into contact with the consumer's skin. Recently, there has been a boom in the use of soaps and shampoos from dispensers that operate on the basis of mechanical pump or are touchless. Touchless dispensers of liquid soaps and shampoos require a power source that supplies the motion sensor and pump.
[0006] ESSENCE OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The liquid soap or shampoo dispenser is designed according to the solution defined in the patent claims, the essence of which is that it is connected under the water tap and consists of T-piece, the inlet part of which is connected to the water tap, and its outlet part is connected to the outlet arm of the tap or to the shower hose. The dispensing part contains the valve, behind which the liquid soap or shampoo reservoir is connected. The pipe leads from the dispensing section to the outlet section to reduce the underpressure pressure in the dispensing section, which iscreated when water flows from the water tap through the inlet section to the outlet section and then to the water tap arm or shower hose. By opening of the valve in the dispensing section, the liquid soap or shampoo enters into the flow of water flowing from the inlet section to the outlet section. Liquid soap or shampoo flows from the reservoir into the dispensing section through gravity, or the spring may be arranged in the reservoir of liquid soap or shampoo to push the liquid soap or shampoo out of it. The valve in the dispensing section may be mechanical or electronically controlled by motion sensor. The entire device may be built into the wall or bathroom furniture, with the dispensing section valve and the reservoir filling opening located in a visible and accessible place.
[0008] OVERVIEW OF FIGURES IN THE DRAWINGS
[0009] Figure 1 shows the dispenser without the spring in the liquid soap or shampoo reservoir. Figure 2 shows the dispenser with the spring in the liquid soap or shampoo reservoir.
[0010] EXAMPLES OF EMBODIMENT
[0011] The liquid soap or shampoo dispenser for connection to the water tap consists of T-piece 1, whose inlet part 2 is connected to the water tap and whose outlet part 3 is connected to the outlet arm of the water tap or to the shower hose. The dispensing part 4 contains the valve 5, behind which the liquid soap or shampoo reservoir 6 is connected. The pipe 7 leads from the dispensing part 4 to the outlet part 3 to reduce the underpressure pressure in the dispensing part 4, which is created when water flows from the water tap through the inlet part 2 to the outlet part 3 and then to the arm of the water tap or shower hose. By opening valve 5 in the dispensing section 4, liquid soap or shampoo enters into the water flow flowing from the inlet section 2 to the outlet section 3. The liquid soap or shampoo flows from the reservoir 6 into the dispensing section 4 by gravity, or the spring 8 may be arranged in the reservoir 6 for liquid soap or shampoo to push the liquid soap or shampoo out of it. The valve 5 in the dispensing section 4 may be mechanical or electronically controlled by the motion sensor.INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
[0012] This device is particularly useful in the field of personal care, whether in hospitals, nursing homes, or seniors' homes, where it assists medical staff with patients' hygiene, but also in fitness centres, wellness centres, sports club dressing rooms, and gyms, where it is used to clean users or sportsmen.
