The present invention concerns a control system (1) for a micro-motor for dental or surgical use comprising a control box (10) provided with an adjustment knob (2), mounted in a way rotatable about a rotational axis (A-A). The adjustment knob (2) is made up of a control support (20) integral with an encoder (3) integrated in the said box (10), and a sterilizable button (21) coupled in a removable way to the said control support (20).

Various implementations of the invention are directed toward a sanitizing door handle and/or components of such sanitizing door handle. Some implementations of the invention are directed toward a manual sanitizing door handle while some implementations of the invention are directed toward an auto-sanitizing door handle. According to some implementations of the invention, a sanitizing fluid is dispensed directly onto an exterior surface of the sanitizing door handle in connection with an operation of the door handle to sanitize the door handle. According to some implementations of the invention, a sanitizing fluid is dispensed directly onto a user's hand(s) in connection with an operation of the door handle to sanitize the user's hand(s).

A push-pull press-contact apparatus includes holding member capable of being held with fingers; push-pull member connected to the holding member and having push portion, stop portion and pull portion sequentially connected; and pressing member connected to the pull portion from front. An antiseptic case includes case member having mounting space; alcoholic sponge mounted in the mounting space and having slot insertable by push-pull member and pressing member; and lid for covering the case member. Another antiseptic case includes case member having mounting space; alcoholic sponge mounted in the mounting space and having slot insertable by push-pull member and pressing member of push-pull press-contact apparatus; and lid for covering the case member.

A sterilization system is configured to emit energy, such as UV radiation, for sterilizing a surface, such as a door handle, faucet handle, elevator button, or other target surfaces known in the art. The sterilization system is configured to operate automatically in response to detection of a user's hand interfacing with the handle. After a user releases a handle, the sterilization system is actuated to sanitize the handle for subsequent users.

A light emitting device which inactivates microorganisms is disclosed. The light emitting device may include a flexible light emitting layer emitting a light; and a transparent or translucent layer over the flexible light emitting layer. The light may travel through and exit an exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer, creating an exiting light. The exiting light exiting the transparent or translucent layer may have at least a portion thereof having a wavelength in a range of 380 to 420 nanometers, and may disinfect the exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer. The light emitting device may be used alone to create a self-disinfecting high touch surface, e.g., on a door, or may be shaped to mate with other structure to create a disinfecting high touch surface.

A compact and portable door pull for sanitary use that provides a method of opening a door so the user doesn't need to touch the door handle thus lessening the likelihood of any germ/bacteria transmission. The device consists of an outer case which is gripped and an extension/slide-out component, or pivoting extension component, both having a thumb bump to manually actuate the extension. Both extensions have a hook on the end which engages the door handle and allows the user to pull the door open without touching the handle. Once the device is disengaged from the door handle, the user retracts the extension by manually reversing the extension action using the thumb bump. The device can then be returned to its original storage location (i.e. pocket, purse, backpack or diaper bag) for future use.

The handle attachment includes a base portion that can be attached to a portion of a wall surface of a door, a flap portion that applies, as a result of a pulling operation, a pulling force to the door via the base portion, a flap rotation mechanism that rotatably connects the flap portion with respect to the base portion around a rotation axis, and a biasing member that biases the flap portion in a first rotation direction around the rotation axis with respect to the base portion. The flap portion includes a base end portion connected to the flap rotation mechanism and a distal end portion arranged at a position away from the flap rotation mechanism. The first rotation direction is a direction in which the distal end portion of the flap portion separates from the wall surface of the door.

Devices, systems, and methods for promoting hand sanitization which may be mounted above or near a door handle. Hand sanitization devices include a sanitizer agent cartridge disposed inside a housing body and fluidically coupled to an actuating pump. The pump is configured to dispense the sanitizer when an actuation mechanism is pushed or pulled. The cartridge is also coupled to a pump sheath disposed below the pump so as to protect the internal components of the devices from unintentional splashing by the sanitizer agent. The hand sanitization devices may also record when the door is opened, when the sanitizer is dispensed, if the cartridge is empty, and when a user is approaching the door. The hand sanitization devices also have a user interface system configured to encourage the approaching user to sanitize their hands.

The present invention relates to a replacement door handle, and comprises: a connection member which has a groove with a certain depth formed therein so as to be coupled to a door lock; and a handle body which has a corresponding fitting portion formed therein so that the connection member can be fitted into and coupled to the fitting portion. Thereby, the present invention has the following effects: it is possible to replace or change a door handle, which is coupled to a door lock, with or to a variety of designs; it is possible to replace or change the door handle in a convenient and easy manner; and it is possible to use the door handle according to a user's preference or taste.

A system and method for sanitizing a surface is disclosed. The surface is formed of a material transparent to ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light is generated within the material opposite to the surface. The ultraviolet light passes through the material to illuminate and sanitize the surface. The material may be formed into the shape of a door handle which is sanitized. The system and method may also include a sensor for determining when to sanitize the surface.
