PORTABLE ATOMIZER CONTAINER

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention is part of the hygiene sector, in particular hygiene accessories and devices for personal disinfection.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the health authorities have recommended the population to take measures that maximize personal hygiene and thereby make contagion and infection more difficult. spread of the disease.

This situation has led to the incorporation into people's behavior of certain hygiene practices and habits that in all probability will become permanent beyond the duration of this pandemic.

Specifically, it has been verified that the contact of contaminated hands with objects or with nostrils, mouth or eyes, constitutes one of the possible ways to inoculate viruses and pathogens, being therefore a general recommendation by health authorities to carry out frequent hand washing.

In cases where this is not possible, or as an additional measure, the recommendation extends to disinfecting the hands with a liquid, gel or disinfectant fluid.

There is also the recommendation to disinfect surfaces frequently, especially those that may be in regular contact with the hands in daily life, such as the steering wheel of the private vehicle, the elevator buttons, the shopping cart handle, etc.

These disinfection fluids are usually available in plastic containers, with pressure dispensing mechanisms. There are containers of certain This size is usually used both in the home and in public establishments, although the need to have the disinfectant available at any time and place has also led to the existence of small portable containers, easily transportable in pockets and bags.

On many occasions, these containers include spraying or atomizing systems, so that their dispensing is controlled and their application is facilitated, being normally refillable.

Both the containers made available to people in public places and portable containers have the disadvantage of having to be handled, and therefore touched with the hands, so that the surface of the containers can serve as a vehicle for the transmission of pathogens precisely to through the hands to be disinfected.

On the other hand, small portable packages also have the disadvantage of being easily lost or forgotten.

In order to overcome these drawbacks, some devices have appeared on the market that allow hands-free dosing through electronic systems, but they involve a high cost for users, which limits their implementation in the market. Also, these devices usually have the disadvantage of not being able to visualize their fill level.

There is therefore a need in the market for portable containers of disinfectant fluid for the disinfection of hands and surfaces that avoid risks of contamination in their use by eliminating the need for handling for dispensing, they are refillable, their fill level is easily visualized. and can be carried by users so that they are not lost.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to obtain a portable spray container for the storage and dispensing of disinfectant fluid that allows the disinfection of hands and surfaces with a reduced need for manipulation with hands in order to reduce the risk of disease transmission in its use.

Another object of the present invention is to obtain a portable atomizer container for the storage and dispensing of disinfectant fluid that is refillable and allows its filling level to be observed.

Another object of the present invention is to obtain a portable atomizer container for the storage and dispensing of disinfectant fluid, the dispensing of which is carried out by atomization through a pulse.

Another object of the present invention is to obtain a portable atomizer container for the storage and dispensing of disinfectant fluid that can be worn on the wrist with easy attachment and can also be worn on other parts of the body or clothing, so that It is accessible and, by avoiding manipulation, it is difficult to lose.

The portable atomizer container object of the present invention comprises at least one approximately hemispherical container, an atomizer mechanism and a strap for attachment to the wrist.

The approximately hemispherical container contains the fluid and is made up of a lower wall, an opaque intermediate approximately spherical cap and a transparent upper approximately spherical cap, so that the level of the fluid contained in its interior can be verified from the outside, whether liquid or gel.

The atomizer mechanism works by means of the Venturi effect, creating an overpressure that causes the fluid to exit through an orifice through a button. The atomizer mechanism is formed by a head that integrates said orifice and push button, together with a valve and a conduit connected with said valve inserted into the spherical container.

The orifice is oriented such that the fluid outlet direction is perpendicular to the pulsation direction.

The head of the atomizer mechanism is cylindrical and is internally threaded and is fixed to the container through an externally threaded sleeve that forms part of the container, so that said container can be filled through said sleeve by unscrewing the head.

The fixation strap fixes the device assembly to the user's wrist, being adjusted through a buckle. The strap is fixed to the approximately hemispherical container through a hook or loop fixed to said container on the outer face of the lower wall. The loop is open on one of its sides, so that the strap can be easily inserted and has a projection on the open side or end to make it difficult to accidentally remove said strap.

The loop also allows easy removal of the container from the strap and its fixation in other locations such as, for example, a belt, strap or the strap of a bag.

The cap of the container, and therefore the head of the atomizer mechanism, are oriented so that the direction of the pulsation is parallel to the forearm with the container attached to the user's wrist.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Using the numbering adopted in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of this document to identify the elements that make up the portable atomizer container object of the present invention, we proceed to the description of said elements for a preferred embodiment of the invention.

The portable atomizer container object of the present invention is formed in a preferred embodiment by an approximately hemispherical container (1) containing a fluid, an atomizer mechanism (2) of the fluid from the container to the outside and a fastening strap (3) to the wrist (4) of the user.

The container (1) is constituted in a preferred embodiment by a lower wall (5), an opaque approximately spherical cap (6) and a transparent upper approximately spherical cap (7), so that the fluid level can be checked from the outside contained within, either liquid or gel.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the atomizer mechanism (2) works by means of the Venturi effect, creating an overpressure that causes the fluid to exit through an orifice (9) through a button (10). The atomizer mechanism (2) is formed by a head (8) that integrates said orifice (9) and button (10), together with a valve (11) and a conduit (12) connected with said valve (11) inserted towards the interior of the container (1) approximately hemispherical.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the orifice (9) is oriented so that the direction of the fluid outlet is perpendicular to the direction of the pulsation.

The head (8) of the atomizer mechanism (3) is cylindrical, is internally threaded and is fixed to the container (1) through an externally threaded bushing (13) that is part of said container (1), so that it can be filled through said sleeve (13) by unscrewing the head (8).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fixing strap (3) is fixed to the approximately hemispherical container (1) through a hook or loop (14) fixed to said container (1) on the outer face of the lower wall ( 5). The loop (14) is open on one of its sides, so that the strap (3) can be easily inserted, and has a projection (15) at the open end to make it difficult to accidentally remove said strap (3).

The strap (3) fixes the device assembly to the user's wrist (4), adjusting through a buckle (16).

The threaded sleeve (13) of the container (1) and, therefore, the head (8) of the atomizer mechanism (2), are oriented so that the pulsation direction is perpendicular to the forearm with the device fixed on the wrist ( 4) of the user.
