Hand-operated foot-operated disinfection spray device attracts attention on SNS April 30 4:15
In order to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, it is required to sterilize the hands frequently even on the go, but many people feel reluctant to touch the common disinfectant spray used by the unspecified majority. Under these circumstances, a device developed by a man in Kumamoto Prefecture that turns a hand-operated disinfection spray into a foot-operated type has been attracting attention on SNS.
Yuki Fukuyama, a technician involved in manufacturing in Minamiaso Village, Kumamoto Prefecture, says that local supermarket customers say "I don't want to touch the hand-operated disinfection spray that is installed at the store," while the store side said, "With a sensor. I wanted to prepare a spray, but it is not selling well, and even if I finally set it up, it will be stolen. "I invented this device.
This device is a mechanism in which a disinfectant spray is fixed on the upper part of a timber frame, and when you press the pedal with your foot, the metal plate connected by a string pushes the spray to inject the contents.
When I posted a video introducing the device to SNS, it has been played over 700,000 times so far, and comments such as "This is convenient" and "It is wonderful to disinfect without touching it" are successively received.
Mr. Fukuyama said, “I am surprised by the unexpected response. I think that even a child will be happy to use the disinfectant spray if it is a foot-operated type, so I think that having many people make this device will contribute to society. The device drawings and how to make them are available for free on our website, so I hope everyone will make them at home. "
