Description
ASSEMBLAGE D'ELEMENTS EN UN BLOC AUTOPORTANT ASSEMBLY OF ELEMENTS IN A SELF-SUPPORTING BLOCK
La présente invention a pour objet un assem¬ blage en un bloc autoportant, d'éléments à usage de soins corporels, destinés à être installés dans un lieu à fréquentation renouvelée, comme par exemple lavabos publics dans les-gaçes, aéroports, magasins, restau¬ rants, chambres d'hôtels, aires d'autoroutes,, stations services, etc. On connaît le problème que posent l'équipe¬ ment et l'entretien des lavabos dans les lieux publics; aucun des différents systèmes que l'on rencontre habi¬ tuellement ne répond de façon complète aux diverses exigences que ces installations doivent satisfaire, tant dans le domaine de la facilité d'entretien et de nettoyage pour le gestionnaire du lieu public que dans celui de l'hygiène qui doit être assurée à l'utili¬ sateur. Les appareils habituels distribuent générale¬ ment du savon sous forme solide, liquide ou pulvérulen- te; dans chacun de ces cas, le gestionnaire rencontre des problèmes, celui des déchets et résidus lors de la fourniture de savon sous forme solide et celui de 1'en¬ crassement du dispositif distributeur dans le cas d'un distributeur de savon sous forme liquide ou de poudre. L'hygiène de l'utilisateur n'est en outre pas assurée dans le cas de l'emploi de savon sous forme solide. Si un distributeur de serviettes en papier est associé au distributeur de savon, il se produit assez rapidement un amoncellement inesthétique et non hygiénique, à moins qu'une poubelle quelconque soit mise à disposi¬ tion; dans ce cas celle-ci n'est généralement pas, har¬ monisée au design de l'appareil distributeur. Un pre¬ mier but de l'invention consiste à mettre à disposition un assemblage en un bloc autoportant d'éléments à usage de soins corporels ne rencontrant pas les inconvénients mentionnés.The present invention relates to an assembly in a self-supporting block, of elements for use in body care, intended to be installed in a place with renewed frequentation, such as for example public washbasins in stores, airports, shops, restaurants. ¬ rants, hotel rooms, motorway service areas, petrol stations, etc. We know the problem posed by the equipment and maintenance of sinks in public places; none of the various systems that are usually encountered fully meets the various requirements that these installations must satisfy, both in the field of ease of maintenance and cleaning for the manager of the public place and in that of the 'hygiene which must be ensured to the user. The usual devices generally dispense soap in solid, liquid or powdered form; in each of these cases, the manager encounters problems, that of waste and residues during the supply of soap in solid form and that of the fouling of the dispensing device in the case of a soap dispenser in liquid form or powder. User hygiene is also not ensured in the case of the use of soap in solid form. If a paper towel dispenser is associated with the soap dispenser, an unsightly and unhygienic heap is produced fairly quickly, unless some sort of trash can be made available; in this case the latter is generally not harmonized with the design of the dispensing device. A first object of the invention consists in making available an assembly in a self-supporting block of elements for use in personal care which do not meet the drawbacks. mentioned.
Un autre but de la présente invention est d'associer à cet assemblage une présentation publici¬ taire attractive. Le brevet FR 458 961 de The Sandjebord Pu- blicity Company présente un appareil combiné de publi¬ cité et de toilette où différentes publicités sont dis¬ posées autour d'un miroir, une boîte contenant divers objets de toilette vestimentaire étant associée à l'appareil. Ce dernier ne comporte aucun élément de soins corporels dans le sens de la présente invention. Le brevet US 4 798 312 de Scheiber présente un distributeur de liquide désinfectant installé sur un distributeur de papier WC; l'usage de ce dispositif est extrêmement limité, le dispositif ne comportant en ou¬ tre aucun dispositif de présentation de publicité.Another object of the present invention is to associate this assembly with an attractive advertising presentation. Patent FR 458 961 from The Sandjebord Publicity Company presents a combined advertising and toilet apparatus where different advertisements are placed around a mirror, a box containing various articles of toiletries being associated with the apparatus. . The latter does not include any body care element in the sense of the present invention. US Pat. No. 4,798,312 to Scheiber presents a disinfectant liquid dispenser installed on a toilet paper dispenser; the use of this device is extremely limited, the device also comprising no advertising presentation device.
Le brevet US 2 201 985 de Colbum présente une boîte distributrice de serviettes en papier sur la¬ quelle une fenêtre permet de poser une publicité; ce dispositif est lui aussi d'usage très limité et ne com¬ porte en outre pas de miroir.US Patent 2,201,985 of Colbum presents a box for dispensing paper towels on which a window allows an advertisement to be placed; this device is also very limited in use and also does not carry a mirror.
Le brevet GB 102 311 de Warbuton concerne un perfectionnement dans les annonces publicitaires, il consiste uniquement à rendre attractives des annonces publicitaires.Warbuton's GB 102,311 relates to an improvement in advertisements, it consists solely in making advertisements attractive.
Le brevet US 2 421 342 de MacKenzie présente un boîtier sanitaire avec des moyens de distribution de papier, ce boîtier étant principalement destiné à dis¬ simuler une brosse et des produits de nettoyage d'une cuvette de WC; son usage est donc très limité et ne concerne pas du tout l'usage prévu de la présente in¬ vention; en outre ce boîtier ne comporte aucune publicité.US Patent 2,421,342 to MacKenzie presents a sanitary box with paper dispensing means, this box being mainly intended to simulate a brush and cleaning products for a toilet bowl; its use is therefore very limited and does not at all concern the intended use of the present invention; in addition this box does not contain any advertising.
Afin de pallier aux inconvénients mentionnés plus haut, l'invention porte sur un assemblage en un bloc autoportant, selon diverses formes d'exécution, d'éléments à usage de soins corporels, destiné à être installé dans un lieu à fréquentation renouvelée, com¬ prenant en particulier un miroir, pouvant être grossis- sant, ainsi qu'un support pour présentations publici¬ taire; un dispensateur de produit désinfectant et/ou un dispensateur de produit de nettoyage, pouvant être ac¬ tionnés par un système mécanique ou photo-électrique, peuvent être associés audit assemblage. D'autres élé- ments à usage de soins corporels peuvent aussi y être associés, soit une prise pour rasoir électrique, un sè¬ che-cheveux, un casier ouvrant pour produits ou usten¬ siles, de même qu'un sèche-mains pouvant être un dispo¬ sitif de soufflage à air chaud, ou un distributeur de serviettes en papier sec ou en papier imprégné humide, ou en tissus, ou alors un distributeur de poudre avec des propriétés asséchantes, ainsi qu'éventuellemnt un ou plusieurs distributeurs d'objets à usage de soins corporels, comme des rasoirs jetables, distribués avec une dose de mousse de rasage ainsi qu'une dose de lo¬ tion après rasage, des brosses à dents jetables avec une dose de dentifrice, des préservatifs en latex, etc. D'autres éléments complémentaires comme un thermomètre, une horloge, un haut-parleur d'interphone, un appareil téléphonique sans fil et un appareil de radio peuvent aussi faire partie du bloc autoportant. Une poubelle, harmonisée au design de l'assemblage, peut aussi y être associée. L'assemblage peut comporter une face plane sur laquelle le miroir et le support pour présentation publicitaire sont disposés côte à côte, ledit support étant agencé pour recevoir des présentations publici¬ taires échangeables, sous forme de feuilles, de plaques ou de cassettes ou pour présenter des publicités mobi¬ les, animées électriquement ou par des systèmes de pro- jections lumineuses diverses, ou par des systèmes à rayon laser ou autres du même genre, le support pouvant contenir un dispositif d'éclairage interne afin d'illu¬ miner la publicité par transparence. L'assemblage peut être complété d'un dispositif de prépaiement à monnaie, jetons ou carte magnétique, afin de libérer l'emploi de l'un ou l'autre des éléments assemblés, p.ex. le télé¬ phone ou l'un quelconque des objets à usage de soins corporels cités plus haut, après prépaiement. L'assem¬ blage est en outre muni de moyens de fixation à une pa- roi, ou à un bras support mobile ou extensible ou alors à une colonne fixée au sol et/ou au plafond, cette co¬ lonne pouvant en outre être munie d'autres supports pu¬ blicitaires sur ses autres faces.In order to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above, the invention relates to an assembly in one self-supporting block, according to various embodiments, of elements used for personal care, intended to be installed in a place with frequentation, including in particular a mirror, which can be magnified, as well as a support for advertising presentations; a dispenser of disinfectant and / or a dispenser of cleaning product, which can be operated by a mechanical or photoelectric system, can be associated with said assembly. Other elements used for personal care can also be associated with it, namely an outlet for an electric razor, a hair dryer, an opening locker for products or utensils, as well as a hand dryer which can be a hot air blowing device, or a dispenser of dry paper towels or wet impregnated paper, or fabrics, or a powder dispenser with drying properties, as well as possibly one or more dispensers objects for personal care use, such as disposable razors, distributed with a dose of shaving foam as well as a dose of after shaving, disposable toothbrushes with a dose of toothpaste, latex condoms, etc. Other complementary elements such as a thermometer, a clock, an intercom speaker, a cordless telephone and a radio can also be part of the freestanding unit. A bin, harmonized with the design of the assembly, can also be associated with it. The assembly may include a flat face on which the mirror and the support for advertising presentation are arranged side by side, said support being arranged to receive exchangeable advertising presentations, in the form of sheets, plates or cassettes or to present mobile advertisements, animated electrically or by various light projection systems, or by systems with laser beam or the like, the support being able to contain an internal lighting device in order to illuminate transparency advertising. The assembly can be completed with a coin, token or magnetic card prepayment device, in order to free the use of one or the other of the assembled elements, eg the telephone or one any of the items for personal care mentioned above, after prepayment. The assembly is furthermore provided with means for fixing to a wall, or to a mobile or extendable support arm or else to a column fixed to the ground and / or to the ceiling, this column being able to be further provided. other advertising media on its other sides.
Le produit désinfectant ainsi que le produit de nettoyage mentionnés plus haut peuvent être des pro¬ duits ne nécessitant pas d'eau ni de savon pour leur usage et être suffisamment volatils pour ne pas néces¬ siter de sèche-mains. En particulier, la composition du liquide désinfectant est étudiée de façon à satisfaire un certain nombre de conditions qui permettent son em¬ ploi dans les conditions décrites; le liquide devra être aussi inodore et incolore que possible et suffi¬ samment volatil pour que les mains de l'utilisateur sè¬ chent rapidement après l'aspersion, il devra naturelle- ment contenir un principe désinfectant suffisamment actif. Enfin son prix de revient devra être suffisam¬ ment réduit pour permettre l'utilisation en question. A titre d'exemple, un liquide désinfectant répondant par¬ ticulièrement bien aux exigences ci-dessus pourrait avoir la composition suivante: (% en masse)The disinfectant as well as the cleaning product mentioned above can be products which do not require soap or water for their use and can be volatile enough not to require hand dryers. In particular, the composition of the disinfectant liquid is studied so as to satisfy a certain number of conditions which allow its use under the conditions described; the liquid should be as odorless and colorless as possible and sufficiently volatile for the user's hands to dry quickly after spraying, it should naturally contain a sufficiently active disinfectant principle. Finally, its cost must be reduced sufficiently to allow the use in question. By way of example, a disinfectant liquid which meets the above requirements particularly well could have the following composition: (% by mass)
-Glycéride partiel de polyéthylèneglycoéther d'un acide gras de coco, avec des composants monoglycé- rides éthoxylées et des diglycérides éthoxylées, à rai¬ son de 1,0 % , -Tensio-actif ("surfactant") amphotère et quaternaire, à raison de 1,0 % ,-Polyethylene glycol ether partial glyceride of a coconut fatty acid, with ethoxylated monoglyceride components and ethoxylated diglycerides, at 1.0% reason, -Surfactant ("surfactant") amphoteric and quaternary, at a rate of 1.0%,
-Alcool isopropylique G-Plus, pauvre en odeur, spécial cosmétique, à raison de 29,5 % et-Isopropyl alcohol G-Plus, poor in odor, special cosmetic, at a rate of 29.5% and
-Eau déminéralisée pour le solde, soit 68,5 % .- Demineralized water for the balance, i.e. 68.5%.
Le liquide de nettoyage peut être choisi parmi l'une des formes d'exécution du liquide de net¬ toyage pour les mains faisant l'objet de la demande de brevet CH 3725/89-6, ce produit ayant comme avantage de ne pas nécessiter d'eau ni de savon ni de sèche-mains pour son usage.The cleaning liquid can be chosen from one of the embodiments of the hand cleaning liquid which is the subject of patent application CH 3725 / 89-6, this product having the advantage of not requiring water, soap and hand dryers for its use.
On va décrire ci-après, à titre d'exemple, deux parmi de multiples formes d'exécution possibles, en se référant au dessin dont les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues en perspective simplifiées et schématiques.Two of the multiple possible embodiments will be described below, by way of example, with reference to the drawing, FIGS. 1 and 2 of which are simplified and schematic perspective views.
La première forme d'exécution de l'assembla¬ ge selon l'invention, représentée sur la figure 1, est destinée à être placée dans un lieu à fréquentation re¬ nouvelée tel qu'un local de toilette dans une gare, un aéroport, un magasin, etc. L'assemblage 1 est constitué essentiellement d'un bloc autoportant 2 formant un caisson rigide pouvant être par exemple en matière plastique, en tôle métallique ou d'une autre manière. Il est en forme de parallélipipède rectangle et agencé de façon à pouvoir être plaqué contre une paroi, par exemple à proximité d'un lavabo. Dans l'exécution dé¬ crite, le caisson 2, monté sur une armature non repré¬ sentée, est agencé de façon à pouvoir contenir un empi¬ lage de serviettes en papier, dont on voit une serviet- te inférieure 3 apparaître dans une ouverture 4 ménagée dans la face inférieure du caisson 2. Les moyens prévus pour permettre 1'ouverture du caisson et le remplace¬ ment de l'empilage de serviettes en papier 3 ne néces¬ sitent pas de description spéciale. Sur un des côtés du caisson 2, un récipient tubulaire 5 est monté, muni à son extrémité inférieure d'un ajutage 6 dont l'exécu¬ tion peut varier de cas en cas. Ce récipient 5 peut contenir soit un liquide désinfectant, soit un liquide de nettoyage dont les caractéristiques ont été mention- nées précédemment. Le récipient 5 peut être soit fixé visiblement à l'extérieur du caisson, soit être camou¬ flé à l'intérieur"; aiiec un ajutage 6 dépassant de la partie inférieure dudit caisson, la commande de distri¬ bution étant faite par un bouton ou un anneau de pres- sion latéral ou une commande agissant sur le sommet du récipient 5. Cette commande peut aussi être actionnée par des moyens photo-électriques. L'ajutage 6 est équi¬ pé d'une tête de dispersion d'un des multiples types connus, pouvant être conçu de façon à ce que le liquide coule en un flux compact sur les mains lorsque l'ajuta¬ ge 6 est ouvert, ou être équipé d'un pomme distribuant le liquide sous forme d'une multitude de jets fins, de gouttelettes ou d'un spray. Selon une variante de la forme d'exécution décrite, le caisson 2 peut contenir un récipient de liquide désinfectant et un autre réci¬ pient de liquide de nettoyage, chacun étant équipé de la manière décrite.The first embodiment of the assembly according to the invention, shown in FIG. 1, is intended to be placed in a place with renewed use such as a toilet room in a station, an airport, a store, etc. The assembly 1 essentially consists of a self-supporting block 2 forming a rigid box which may for example be made of plastic, sheet metal or in another way. It is in the shape of a rectangular parallelipiped and arranged so that it can be pressed against a wall, for example near a sink. In the described embodiment, the box 2, mounted on a frame not shown, is arranged so as to be able to contain a stack of paper towels, of which a lower towel 3 appears in an opening 4 provided in the underside of the box 2. The means provided to allow the opening of the box and the replacement of the stack of paper towels 3 do not require any special description. On one side of the box 2, a tubular container 5 is mounted, provided with its lower end with a nozzle 6, the execution of which may vary from case to case. This container 5 can contain either a disinfectant liquid or a cleaning liquid, the characteristics of which have been mentioned previously. The container 5 can either be visibly fixed on the outside of the box, or be camouflaged inside " ; aiiec a nozzle 6 protruding from the bottom of said box, the control of distribution being made by a button or a lateral pressure ring or a control acting on the top of the container 5. This control can also be actuated by photoelectric means The nozzle 6 is equipped with a head for dispersing one of the multiples known types, which can be designed so that the liquid flows in a compact flow over the hands when the ajuta¬ ge 6 is open, or be equipped with an apple distributing the liquid in the form of a multitude of fine jets , droplets or spray According to a variant of the embodiment described, the box 2 can contain a container of disinfectant liquid and another container of cleaning liquid, each being equipped in the manner described.
Sur sa face frontale avant, le caisson 2 porte un miroir 7 qui peut être un miroir grossissant, et qui dans la forme d'exécution représentée est de forme rectangulaire, mais pourrait aussi être d'une au¬ tre forme: ronde, carrée, ovale, etc. Immédiatement au-dessus de ce miroir, mais éventuellement aussi à cô¬ té ou au-dessous de celui-ci, sur la face frontale avant, un support 8, représenté ici de forme triangu¬ laire, est placé, et qui est destiné à recevoir des feuilles échangeables 9 ornées d'une présentation publicitaire. Les moyens de fixation de ces feuilles sur le support peuvent être constitués, par exemple, de gorges longitudinales permettant l'engagement de pla- ques rigides à coulissement, ou de moyens d'agrafage, ou alors être constitués d'un enduit autocollant sur le support 8 permettant l'application de feuilles 9 de pa¬ pier ou de plastique souple. D'autres moyens de fixa- tion sont également possibles, tels que coulisseau in¬ corporé à la face plane du caisson 2, avec une portion transparente sous" laquelle une cassette publicitaire peut être glissée. Un dispositif de publicité mobile peut aussi être visible à travers une fenêtre transpa- rente remplaçant le support 8, le mécanisme électrique de changement des publicités étant contenu dans le caisson 2. Bien entendu, la forme et l'emplacement du support 8, respectivement de la présentation publici¬ taire, pourraient aussi différer de ce qui est repré- sente à la figure 1; ils seront adaptés à la conforma¬ tion générale de l'arrangement. La présence du miroir 7 à côté des feuilles publicitaires 9, surtout s'il est grossissant, augmente l'effet d'attraction sur ces publicités. Dans certains cas particuliers, la présence d'un miroir sur le caisson 2 n'est pas indispensable.On its front end face, the box 2 carries a mirror 7 which can be a magnifying mirror, and which in the embodiment shown is rectangular in shape, but could also be of another shape: round, square, oval, etc. Immediately above this mirror, but possibly also next to or below it, on the front end face, a support 8, shown here in triangular shape, is placed, and which is intended to receive exchangeable sheets 9 decorated with an advertising presentation. The means for fixing these sheets on the support may consist, for example, of longitudinal grooves allowing the engagement of plates. ques rigid à sliding, or stapling means, or then be made of a self-adhesive coating on the support 8 allowing the application of sheets 9 of pa¬ pier or flexible plastic. Other means of fixings tion are also possible, such as slide in¬ corpore to the flat face of the casing 2, with a transparent portion in "which an advertising cassette can be slid. A mobile advertising device may also be visible to through a transparent window replacing the support 8, the electrical mechanism for changing the advertisements being contained in the box 2. Of course, the shape and location of the support 8, respectively of the advertising presentation, could also differ from which is shown in FIG. 1. They will be adapted to the general configuration of the arrangement The presence of the mirror 7 next to the advertising sheets 9, especially if it is magnifying, increases the effect of attraction in these advertisements In certain special cases, the presence of a mirror on the box 2 is not essential.
Toujours sur la face frontale antérieure 10 du caisson 2 sont montés encore deux éléments addition¬ nels représentés ici à titre d'exemple non exhaustif: d'une part un thermomètre à affichage digital 11 et une horloge 12, également à affichage digital, indiquant l'heure et la minute ou le cas échéant, le quantième ou une autre indication de temps.Still on the front front face 10 of the box 2 are still mounted two additional elements shown here by way of non-exhaustive example: on the one hand a thermometer with digital display 11 and a clock 12, also with digital display, indicating the hour and minute or, if applicable, the date or some other indication of time.
La deuxième forme d'exécution de l'assembla¬ ge selon l'invention, telle que représentée à la figure 2, consiste en un assemblage, désigné de façon générale par 13, et qui a la forme d'un parallélipipède rectan¬ gle, mais pourrait aussi être d'une autre forme, cons¬ titué d'un caisson 14 fixé par sa face supérieure 15 à un bras 16 pouvant être fixe ou mobile, rigide, exten- sible ou pliable accroché à une glissière lui permet- tant de coulisser et de pivoter verticalement ou horizontalement. De la sorte, l'assemblage 13 constitué en un bloc autoportant peut être déplacé dans un cer¬ tain rayon et orienté à volonté. • Un assemblage selon cette forme d'exécution est destiné plus particulièrement à être installé dans une chambre d'hôtel, „de sorte qu'il sera utilisé par une seule ou par un petit nombre de personnes en même temps, bien que ces personnes se renouvellent fréquemment. Le caisson 14 présente également une face frontale 18 qui est plane et qui est équipée en son centre d'un miroir 19. Ici ce miroir est de forme cir¬ culaire, mais pourrait aussi être d'une autre forme.The second embodiment of the assembly according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, consists of an assembly, generally designated by 13, and which has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, but could also be of another form, consisting of a box 14 fixed by its upper face 15 to an arm 16 which can be fixed or mobile, rigid, extensible or foldable attached to a slide allows it both slide and rotate vertically or horizontally. In this way, the assembly 13 consisting of a self-supporting block can be moved within a certain radius and oriented at will. • An assembly according to this embodiment is intended more particularly to be installed in a hotel room, „so that it will be used by one or by a small number of people at the same time, although these people are renew frequently. The box 14 also has a front face 18 which is flat and which is equipped at its center with a mirror 19. Here this mirror is of circular shape, but could also be of another shape.
Dans les angles supérieurs de la face fron- taie 18, sont montés des supports 20 et 21, de forme triangulaire à hypothénuse incurvée et concave, qui sont destinés à recevoir des feuilles échangeables 22 et 23, de même constitution et de même usage que celle décrite plus haut, c'est-à-dire portant des ornements et des inscriptions à but publicitaire. Ici aussi la forme des supports pourrait être différente, et l'agen¬ cement des feuilles, plaques ou cassettes échangeables à but publicitaire, pourrait varier.In the upper corners of the front face 18, supports 20 and 21 are mounted, of triangular shape with curved and concave hypothenuse, which are intended to receive exchangeable sheets 22 and 23, of the same constitution and of the same use as that described above, that is to say bearing ornaments and inscriptions for advertising purposes. Here too, the shape of the supports could be different, and the arrangement of exchangeable sheets, plates or cassettes for advertising purposes, could vary.
Le bloc autoportant 14 sera également muni d'un récipient distributeur 24 de liquide de désinfec¬ tion et/ou d'un récipient distributeur de liquide de nettoyage, pouvant être insérés à l'intérieur du cais¬ son ou placés à l'extérieur comme représenté. D'autres éléments à usage de soins corporels comme une prise pour rasoir électrique 25, montée sur une face latérale du bloc 14, ainsi qu'un sèche-cheveux, non représenté, pourraient être intégrés au caisson. Il est également prévu un casier intérieur fermé par une porte 26 à poi¬ gnée 27, pouvant contenir des ustensiles ou des réci- pients à produits de toilette. Dans la forme d'exécution décrite, sur le bloc mobile 14, sont disposés un appareil de téléphone sans fil, intégré 28, un haut-parleur 29 d'un appareil de radio, ces éléments pouvant être les composants d'un circuit d'interphone interne.The self-supporting block 14 will also be provided with a container 24 for dispensing disinfecting liquid and / or a container for dispensing cleaning liquid, which can be inserted inside the box or placed outside as represented. Other elements for personal care use such as a socket for an electric razor 25, mounted on a side face of the block 14, as well as a hair dryer, not shown, could be integrated into the box. An interior locker is also provided, closed by a door 26 with a poi¬ gnate 27, which can contain utensils or containers for toiletries. In the embodiment described, on the movable block 14, are arranged a cordless telephone apparatus, integrated 28, a loudspeaker 29 of a radio apparatus, these elements possibly being the components of a circuit of internal intercom.
A partir des éléments mentionnés dans les deux formes d'exécuti-pn décrites, ainsi que de ceux mentionnés dans les revendications, il est possible de concevoir encore bon nombre de variantes de formes d'exécution en combinant quelques-uns de ces éléments selon l'usage et le lieu prévu pour l'utilisation de l'assemblage. Ainsi, lorsqu'on se trouve à proximité d'un lavabo, il n'est peut être pas absolument néces¬ saire de prévoir un liquide de nettoyage ne nécessitant pas d'eau; un savon liquide usuel peut fort bien être prévu, nécessitant de ce fait l'installation d'un dis¬ tributeur d'essuie-mains ainsi que d'une poubelle au design adapté à celui de l'assemblage, ou d'un disposi¬ tif de séchage à air chaud. De même, l'adjonction du thermomètre sera plus particulièrement indiquée pour un appareil installé à l'air libre. De même les moyens de présentation de la publicité peuvent varier selon l'em¬ placement de l'assemblage, à partir de publicités fixes ou mobiles, éclairées ou non. A côté des moyens de fi- xation décrits, il est possible de concevoir l'assem¬ blage comme une tour, installée contre une colonne, les autres faces de la colonne, respectivement de la tour, pouvant aussi supporter des placards publicitaires. Se¬ lon les éléments et distributeurs disposés sur l'assem- blage, il est possible d'y ajouter un dispositif de prépaiement à monnaie, jetons ou carte magnétique afin de libérer l'usage de l'un ou l'autre desdits éléments ou distributeurs.From the elements mentioned in the two forms of execution described, as well as those mentioned in the claims, it is possible to conceive still a good number of variants of execution forms by combining some of these elements according to the 'use and place intended for the use of the assembly. Thus, when one is near a sink, it may not be absolutely necessary to provide a cleaning liquid which does not require water; a usual liquid soap may very well be provided, thereby necessitating the installation of a dispenser for hand towels as well as a bin with a design adapted to that of the assembly, or of a disposi¬ hot air drying. Similarly, the addition of the thermometer will be more particularly indicated for a device installed in the open air. Likewise, the means of presentation of advertising may vary according to the location of the assembly, from fixed or mobile advertisements, lit or not. Besides the attachment means described, it is possible to design the assembly as a tower, installed against a column, the other faces of the column, respectively of the tower, which can also support advertising posters. Depending on the elements and distributors arranged on the assembly, it is possible to add a prepayment device for coins, tokens or magnetic card in order to free the use of one or the other of said elements or distributors.
Une notice explicative peut être apposée sur l'une des faces de l'assemblage afin d'expliquer à l'u- tilisateur le fonctionnement des éléments qui y sont montés, en particulier l'emploi des liquides désinfec¬ tant et nettoyant.An explanatory note can be affixed on one of the faces of the assembly in order to explain to the user. user the operation of the elements mounted therein, in particular the use of disinfec¬ and cleaning liquids.
Ainsi constitué, un assemblage selon l'une ou l'autre des formes d'exécution possibles, présente tout d'abord une utilité en tant qu'assemblage d'élé¬ ments de soins corporels, réunissant un dispensateur de liquide de désinfection et/ou un dispensateur de liqui¬ de de nettoyage, qui vu qu'ils ne nécessitent pas d'eau pour leur usage peuvent être utilisés en particulier en tous lieux non raccordés à un réseau de distribution et d'écoulement d'eau. Le miroir, s'il est grossissant, a, à côté de son aspect utilitaire pour des soins du visa¬ ge, une fonction d'attraction sur la publicité qui lui est adjacente, renforçant ainsi l'impact de celle-ci sur l'utilisateur. L'adjonction d'autres éléments selon les besoins, permet d'obtenir un assemblage fonction¬ nel, comportant de multiples avantages tant pour le gestionnaire, en facilitant son travail de maintenance, pour l'utilisateur en lui proposant toutes sortes de services de manière attrayante et hygiénique. Thus constituted, an assembly according to one or other of the possible embodiments, firstly has utility as an assembly of body care elements, bringing together a dispenser of disinfection liquid and / or a dispenser of cleaning liquids, which since they do not require water for their use can be used in particular in all places not connected to a water distribution and flow network. The mirror, if it is magnifying, has, besides its utilitarian aspect for visa care, a function of attraction on the advertising which is adjacent to it, thus reinforcing the impact of this on the user. The addition of other elements as required, allows a functional assembly to be obtained, having multiple advantages both for the manager, by facilitating his maintenance work, for the user by offering him all kinds of services so attractive and hygienic.
