The device consists of a stabilizing support with a front part, a rear part and a central part, a pedal, a vertical support, a fishing line, a spring, a quarter-turn tap, a water bucket and its support, a wastewater collection bucket and its support, a hose and a container for collecting the dirty water and treating it later if possible.

Description

The present invention relates to hand washing with water and hand cleaning with gel without touching the tap or the gel bottle using a mechanical device which is very useful in the fight against CORONAVIRUS or COVID-19. The non-use of hands when opening and closing the tap is a contribution to the fight against this deadly virus.

As part of the fight against the coronavirus or COVID-19, the Hand Cleaning Device (DNM) allows hands to be washed without touching the water tap, therefore without becoming contaminated once hand washing is finished. Likewise, the use of the hydroalcoholic liquid without touching the bottle is effective. The exploitation of the properties of a spring carries out these operations. Also collecting wastewater in a container like the can is useful to reduce the risk of environmental contamination.

The device has two parts. Part A which treats the water and part B which treats the hydroalcoholic gel.

Regarding part A, we know that many taps exist in different forms and used in different contexts such as the kitchen for washing utensils, agriculture for watering, hospitals to name but a few. In kitchens and hospitals the hands are most often directly used to manipulate these faucets, which presents the risk of conserving germs if they had them initially. With a preventive nature, the device that we propose avoids any manual contact with the valve, whether it is during the opening of the valve as during its closing. This situation allows everyone to protect themselves against contamination.

The hand washing device which has been developed allows the non-contact of the hands with COVID-19 which would be on the tap and the collection of used water in a container which can be emptied in a safe place after filling, which will avoid pollution of the environment. It is designed to be made from local materials and whatever the social background of the breeder.

A patent obtained on 11/30/2017 and entitled "the pedal valve" exists and plays the role of protection against contamination. However, in the context of the fight against COVID-19, ie "Device for cleaning hands using the user's foot", has common points and points of difference that we claim in the related paragraph. .

In addition, the prototype is available and consists of: a left pedal (1) connected to the valve (3) by a left wire (2) which slides on a horizontal support (6) and the spring (4) which is located on the left side of the water bucket housing (5). A recovery bucket (8) is connected by a pipe (9) to a container (10) the support consists of four parts which are: the front stabilization support (16), the rear stabilization support (17), the central support (15), the vertical rods (18) which support the water bucket.

Regarding part B, its role is to run a few drops of hydroalcoholic gel in the hands without touching the gel bottle. The device consists of the right pedal (11) connected by the right wire (12) to the opening mechanism (17) of the gel vial in which the gel vial itself is located.

The unresolved issues are: the use of a horizontal tap, the spring mechanism, the waste water discharge container, the gel flow mechanism, the existence of the gel container and the presence of a second pedal and a second connecting wire.

The user presses the left pedal with his foot; this gesture drives the spring through the wire which is linked to the tap and causes the water necessary for hand washing to flow. The wastewater is collected in a container located under the first recovery bucket before being led by a pipe into a container.

If the user wants to use the alcoholic liquid, he presses the right pedal with his right foot, then a quantity of this liquid falls into his hand for use. By releasing the foot of this pedal, the gel stops flowing.

The left pedal (3) is cut from a 4cmx8cm parallelepiped-shaped board made up of two parts: a longer one of 15cm and a shorter one of 10cm. These two parts constitute a single part. The shorter part has at its lower end an orifice which receives a bolt embedded in rotation guide in the central part (6) of the support. This central part (6) of the support fixed on the front stabilization part (5) of the 40cm side support. The longer part of the left pedal has a hole that receives one end of the wire (1).

The right pedal (4) is cut in the same way as the left one and obeys the same description and the same dimension except that its longest part is linked to the wire (2) to control the opening of the gel bottle.

The stabilization of the device is ensured by the following parts: the front part of the stabilization (5), the two central parts (6) and (7) and finally the wedge (8).

There are two mechanisms on the device: the one which controls the opening and closing of the water and the one which ensures the opening and closing of the gel vial.

Valve control mechanism: this mechanism consists of six elements: the spring (1) (hidden by the bucket housing), the valve (2), the valve rod (3), the fishing line (4), the horizontal support (5) and the vertical support (6).

The valve (2) is of the conventional type. This is the type whose handle only makes a quarter of a turn when opening and closing. This lever has a hole at its free end. This hole receives both the other end of the fishing line and the spring. The second end of the spring is in fixed connection with the housing of the water bucket. The top of the horizontal support (5) contains a groove to ensure the sliding of the fishing line (4) when the pedal is depressed.

As part of the fight against the coronavirus or COVID-19, the hand cleaning device (DNM) using the user's foot allows hands to be washed without touching the water tap, therefore without contaminate when hand washing is complete.

The device consists of a stabilization support with a front part, a rear part and a central part, a pedal, a vertical support, a fishing line, a spring, a tap quarter turn, a water bucket and its support, a wastewater collection bucket and its support, a hose and a container to collect dirty water and treat it if possible later. When the left pedal is depressed with your foot, the wire attached to the top of the left pedal pulls the spring which extends. As the wire is linked to the spring through the movable part of the tap, the tap opens and the water in the bucket begins to flow. The user can wash their hands. Once finished, he lifts his foot from the pedal, the spring returns to its starting position, causing the valve to close when it is shortened. The user therefore did not touch the tap with his hands during the entire hand washing operation.

For environmental protection, the wastewater recovery device consists of a recovery bucket associated with a container via a pipe.

When washing hands, water flows into the recovery bucket and joins the container. This container may contain a wastewater treatment product which can make this water usable and thus protect the environment.

The device for cleaning the hands with hydro-alcoholic gel is located on the right side of the device and consists of the following parts: a pedal (right pedal), a fishing line, a vertical support, the opening mechanism and closing the vial and the gel vial itself.

When the right pedal is depressed, the wire drives the opening mechanism of the gel bottle and lets the gel flow. As soon as the pedal is released, the bottle closing mechanism engages and the gel no longer flows.

The claims are as follows concerning the operating mechanism of the gel vial, which mechanism is composed of four (4) elements which are: the vertical rod (7), the horizontal rod (6), the right wire (12), the closing and opening device of the vial (13) and the gel vial (14).

The recovery water bucket (8) is made of plastic with a base diameter of 25 cm and a height of 30 cm. It is housed in a 30 cm side box. This seal box is carried by a wooden piece 4cm x 8cm and 60 cm long. The pipe (9) allows the transfer of the waste water into the container (10).
