Abstract

The mechanical elements for the cleansing of the hands or arms, are automatically driven pref. electrically or hydraulically using water. The cleansing is carried out intensively with relaxing massage, using a programme controlled supply of detergent and disinfectant, which can be drained away across a discharge outlet. The operating of the washing appts. can be activated manually using a hand or foot switch, or automatically controlled with an electronic circuit. The disinfecting is carried out with the dosing of germicidal light waves or electrical HF waves, produced by a controlled radiation transmitter in the drying chamber. ADVANTAGE - Sterile cleaning is carried out with low use of chemicals, quicker and cheaper. Appts. is user friendly and gives feeling of well being. Saves time and expense.

Description

Die Innovation hat die Aufgabe, gleichzeitig beide Hände und Arme steriler zu reinigen, und zwar automatisch, gründlicher, weitgehend keimfrei, chemikalienärmer, schneller, billiger) durchblutungs fördernd, anregend massierend, angenehm Benutzer-freundlich, lei stungssteigernd, ermüdungsfrei resp. später ermüdend, Beweglich keits-fördernd und entspannend.The innovation has the task of having both hands and arms at the same time more sterile to clean, automatically, thoroughly, largely germ-free, less chemicals, faster, cheaper) blood circulation supportive, stimulating massaging, pleasant user-friendly, lei Increasing performance, fatigue-free resp. later tiring, agile stimulates and relaxes.

Diese Vorteile sind zwingend nutzbar für anti-septisch arbeitende Berufsgruppen in teuren Operations-Teams (ausgeruhte Hände vor Präzisionsarbeit), Laboratorien, Krankenpflege, Elektronik- Fertigung, usw. Das Gerät würde z. B. in Hospitälern zur Kosten dämpfung durch schnelles Waschen und damit Einsparung teurer Per sonalzeiten beitragen, allgemein steigende Krankenhaus-Infektions gefahr (Resistenz) durch gründlichere, nicht-manuelle Reinigung verhindern und umweltschonend sein durch Reduzierungsmöglichkeit von Desinfektionsmitteln.These advantages are mandatory for anti-septic workers Professional groups in expensive operations teams (rested hands in front Precision work), laboratories, nursing, electronics Manufacturing, etc. The device would, for. B. in hospitals at cost damping by quick washing and thus saving expensive per wages contribute to generally rising hospital infection danger (resistance) due to more thorough, non-manual cleaning prevent and be environmentally friendly through reduction options of disinfectants.

Bekannt und in der praktischen Anwendung ist weltweit die müh selige, teure, langwierige, bedingt effektive und eingeschränkt gründliche Handreinigung manuell mit sogenannter Hand-Nagelbürste.Known and in practical use is the effort worldwide blissful, expensive, lengthy, limited effective and limited thorough hand cleaning manually with a so-called hand nail brush.

Vorgenannte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein einzelnes oder paariges, gut halb-armlanges, oben offenes Doppel gehäuse, schräg zum Benutzer in einem Waschbecken befestigt wird für z. B. beide Arme. In jedem Gehäuse (Fig. 1) rotieren resp. bewegen sich Walzenbürsten (Fig. 2 + 3) oder Tellerbürsten o. a. (Fig. 4) in unterschiedlicher Kombination und Härte auch unter Mitwirkung von Festbürsten und reinigen mühelos und intensiv, locker hineingehaltene Hände u. (Unter)-Arme, die nicht durch 20minütiges, manuelles Bürsten schon vor kompliziertem Einsatz ermüdet werden. Die Bürstenkörper werden gruppenweise elektrisch oder durch Wasserdruck-Impeller in zweckmäßige Rotation oder Hin/Her-Bewegung o. a. versetzt, aus lösbar durch z. B. Hebel- Hand/Fuß schalter oder elektronisch. Möglich ist auch ein inneres Schutz gitterrohr, durch das die Borsten hindurch reinigen, um jegliche Handverletzungen auszuschließen. Über Ventile/Hähne wird dosiert, in Sonderausführung mit Programmsteuerung, Wasser, Waschlösung und wenig Desinfektionsmittel ins Gehäuse zugeführt. Die Bürsten, Borsten, Weichschaumstoffe oder Gewebe/Vlies-Scheiben sind aus unterschiedlichem, hauptsächlich elastischen Materialien in ein zelnen Segmenten, um divergierender Hautempfindlichkeit Rechnung zu tragen und z. B. Fingernägel hart bürsten zu können. Das Geräte; Gehäuse kann z. B. mit Saugnäpfen in Standard-Waschbecken arre tiert oder festgeschraubt werden oder für separate Wand- u. Tischmontage einen eigenen Zu- u. Abfluß für Spülwasser erhalten.The aforementioned object is achieved in that a single or pair, well half-arm length, open top double housing, is attached obliquely to the user in a sink for z. B. both arms. In each housing ( Fig. 1) rotate or roller brushes ( Fig. 2 + 3) or plate brushes or the like ( Fig. 4) move in different combinations and hardness even with the help of fixed brushes and clean effortlessly and intensively, loosely held hands and the like. (Under) arms that are not tired by 20 minutes of manual brushing before they are used in a complicated manner. The brush bodies are set in groups electrically or by water pressure impeller in appropriate rotation or back and forth movement or the like, from releasable by z. B. lever-hand / foot switch or electronic. It is also possible to use an inner protective tube through which the bristles clean to prevent any hand injuries. Dosing takes place via valves / taps, and a special version with program control, water, washing solution and a small amount of disinfectant is fed into the housing. The brushes, bristles, soft foams or tissue / fleece discs are made of different, mainly elastic materials in individual segments to take into account divergent skin sensitivity and z. B. brushing fingernails hard. The Device; Housing can e.g. B. arre tiert with suction cups in standard sink or screwed or for separate wall u. Table mounting its own access u. Obtained drain for rinse water.

Alternativ kann in vergleichbaren Gehäusen die Reinigung durch zweckmäßig angeordnete, evtl. bewegte, variable Düsen (Fig. 5) erfolgen, die temperiertes, Druckwasser mit Waschlösung pro grammgesteuert, pulsierend in den Handraum spritzen.Alternatively, comparable housings can be cleaned by appropriately arranged, possibly moving, variable nozzles ( Fig. 5), which spray temperature-controlled, pressurized water with washing solution in a program-controlled, pulsating manner into the hand area.

Des weiteren kann der Gehäuse-Waschraum vollständig mit Wasch wasser gefüllt werden und die Reinigung durch mechanische Strömungsimpulse z. B. durch Rührpropeller erfolgen oder Ultraschall-Vibratoren, die Schmutz-lösende Schwingungen in der Flüssigkeit erzeugen. Auch intensiver Preßlufteintrag über Düsen kann ein reinigendes Luftperlbad bewirken.Furthermore, the housing washroom can be completely washed water and cleaning by mechanical Flow impulses e.g. B. done by stirring propeller or Ultrasonic vibrators that release vibrations in the dirt Generate liquid. Also intensive compressed air entry through nozzles can cause a cleaning air bubble bath.

Schließlich kann das Gehäuse zusätzlich als Trockenkammer aus geführt werden und die Reinigung erfolgt mittels desinfizierender, eingeleiteter Druck-Gase, die hautschonend Keime abtöten. Alter nativ soll die Desinfektion in der Trockenkammer mit optimal dosierten keimtötenden Lichtwellen (z. B. UV-Bereich) oder gesteuerten elektr. Hochfrequenz-Wellen erfolgen, abgestrahlt durch entsprechende eingebaute Geber/Erzeuger.Finally, the housing can also be used as a drying chamber out and the cleaning is done by means of disinfectant, Introduced pressure gases that kill germs in a way that is kind to the skin. Dude natively, disinfection in the drying chamber should be optimal dosed germicidal light waves (e.g. UV range) or controlled electr. High frequency waves occur, radiated by corresponding built-in sensors / generators.
