HAND DISINFECTION APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact and inexpensive hand disinfection apparatus without using a pump. SOLUTION: The hand disinfection apparatus has an air jetting nozzle 16 and a disinfecting liquid jetting nozzle 18 adjacent. The air by a blower 14 is jetted from the air jetting nozzle 16 to an inserting space 30. A midstream of a disinfection liquid supplying pipe 24 communicating with a disinfection liquid tank 20 and the disinfection liquid jetting nozzle 18 is opened and closed with a solenoid valve 26. By inserting hands into the inserting space 30, the blower 14 operates to jet air to the inserting space 30 from the air jetting nozzle 16, thereby opening the disinfecting liquid supplying pipe 24 with the solenoid valve 26. The negative pressure generated in the air jetting nozzle 16 sucks up a disinfecting liquid 22 in the disinfecting liquid tank 20 into the disinfecting liquid jetting nozzle 18, the disinfecting liquid is jetted from the disinfecting liquid jetting nozzle 18 to the inserting space 30.
