[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of sanitization, and in particular, the
present disclosure relates to sanitizing devices and methods. More particularly, the present
disclosure relates to a simple dispensing equipment that facilitates sanitization in an effective
and convenient manner, and prevent surface-to-surface transmission of contagious diseases.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information
provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any
publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Contagious diseases are likely to spread easily from person to person, hence,
resulting in a large community getting infected, which may also lead to loss of a number of
lives. In order to mitigate possibility of spread of such diseases, people use mask, gloves, and
other such elements, thereby, preventing themselves from exposure to such diseases.
Moreover, people are using sanitizer to sanitize their hands and other items in order to avoid
exposure to such diseases, in case he/ she happened to touch any infected object or surface.
However, if hands of a person happen to be already contaminated by such diseases, and he/
she touches bottle of sanitizer to sanitize his/ her hands, then it may lead to contamination of
the bottle of sanitizer as well, and when the person or some other person touches the bottle of
sanitizer, he/ she may get exposed to such diseases.
[0004] At present, millions of people around the globe are infected by COVID-19 and
different companies across the globe are coming with unique solutions in order to avoid
mitigate chances of getting infected. Pedal operated hand sanitization products are quite
popular these days but such products are designed to sanitize our hands only. Moreover, some
of the researchers have developed sanitization tunnels but such tunnels are very costly and are
now being banned by the government due to their detrimental effects on human health. There
is a need to design a product that not only sanitizes hands of an entity, but also sanitizes the
whole body along with their shoes. Shoes are the major source of infection as people spit on
roads, through mask and other infected items on roads, and when one walks on roads then he/
3
she can also bring infection to his/ her homes and offices. Children are more likely to get
infected as they play outside and get in contact with number of things unknowingly.
[0005] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide an effective and cost friendly
equipment that resolves above mentioned problems, and facilitates sanitization of not only
hands, but also of whole body, school/office bags, gloves, shoes and other such things,
without any need of touching the equipment.
OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

effective, and user friendly dispensing equipment.

as hardware capable of executing associated software. Similarly, any switches shown in the
figures are conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of
program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and

herein are for illustrative purposes and, thus, are not intended to be limited to any particular
named.
[00064] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and
described, it will be clear that the invention is not limited to these embodiments only.
Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions, and equivalents will be apparent
to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as
described in the claim.
13
[00065] In the foregoing description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent,
however, to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, that the
present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, wellknown structures and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, to avoid
obscuring the present invention.
[00066] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled
to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to
each other contact each other)and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element
is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with"
are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled
with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a
network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the
network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[00067] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications
besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts
herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of
the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all
terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In
particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to
elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced
elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements,
components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers
to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C ….N, the text
should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus
N, etc.
[00068] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other
and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic
scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The
invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are
included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention
when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill
in the art.
