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).

An automatic cleaning device includes an accelerometer, a sprayer, a driving module and a processing unit. The accelerometer is mounted to a door, measures acceleration of the door, and outputs an acceleration value accordingly. The sprayer is for storing cleaner, and is operable to spray the cleaner. The processing unit is electrically connected to the driving module and the accelerometer, and determines whether the acceleration value is greater than an acceleration threshold, and generates a driving signal and transmits the same to the driving module for enabling the driving module to drive the sprayer to spray the cleaner when determining that the acceleration value is greater than the acceleration threshold.

An automatic discharge device includes a housing having a recess for receipt of the body of a container and a groove configured to receive a portion of a valve stem of the container. The recess includes a tapered upper end configured to fit a neck of the container. Further, a first compartment for receipt of a first battery and a second compartment for receipt of a second battery are provided. An actuator is disposed proximate the groove, which defines lateral sidewalls and a rear sidewall and has an open forward end to receive the valve stem.

A dispensing device adapted for placement within a bathroom adjacent to a toilet to generally dispense an aerosolized fluid from within a fluid container and onto the surface of water within the toilet. The fluid is provided with a density less than water, wherein the fluid is provided to form a barrier on the surface of the water. The dispensing device including a sensor, indicator, trigger mechanism and stirring means adapted to stir the fluid within the fluid container.

A method and a wash, clean and dry system are provided for washing, cleaning and drying a surface region of a human body. The system includes a toilet seat assembly with a bidet assembly having a spray canister device for spraying the surface region with a solution, such as a skin protecting barrier solution, a cleaning solution or a medicated solution. In one aspect, the spray canister device can be movably insert into and out of the toilet seat assembly and is easy to operate and use. In addition, the bidet assembly further includes a spray nozzle assembly and a drying nozzle assembly, which are adapted to wash, clean and dry the region of the human body in three dimensional moments. The removable spray canister device with the removable sleeved cover element is thus easy to carry and be re-filled with new solutions.

A method and apparatus is provided for spraying a solution, such as a cleaning solution a barrier material, out of a spray canister device to a surface area of a human body. The spray canister device generally includes a removable sleeved cover element covering an inner canister element. The spray canister device with the removable sleeved cover is easy to carry and easy to spray, and can be handled manually or functions together with other devices.

A device having a body (10), a reservoir (100) axially slidable relative to the body (10), a metering valve (200), a blocking element (500), a triggering element (600), a triggering system controlled by inhalation (60), an actuating member (800) cooperating with the blocking element (500), a cover (11) with a central axial sleeve (110) with a lower axial edge (111), a push member (810) mounted in the cover around the central axial sleeve (110), and a spring (850) disposed around the central axial sleeve (110) between a bottom of the cover and the push member. The lower axial edge (111) of the central axial sleeve is deformed after assembly of the push member and the spring in order to produce a retention collar of the push member and form a pre-assembled subassembly that is fixed to the body.
