[3] The Detail Description
The detail description, or synopsis of new invention hygienic footwear equipment rack unit function in a unique way. The hygienic footwear equipment rack unit may be set at the entry point of entrance, and this may be a clean and hygienic environment of place cuts off from outdoor environment of health hazardous foreign bodies of bacterial, fungal, virus and other infection or allergies causing germs carried by the footwear in unwanted place of clean and hygienic environment and cause human's and pet's health related issues and or sickness. Thereon the idea may began with semi-automated hands free footwear handling hygienic equipment unit.
The new hygienic footwear equipment rack unit may be designed and added with advance functionality of features in keeping indoor, outdoor footwear separate for use at first point and secondly adopt the process of UV sterilizing, liquid sanitizing and hot air drying, inside and outside of the footwear on each separate level of the equipment unit.
The newly designed slippers may be with telescopic bar or expandable tubes molded within from the middle section of the toe's front to the end of the slipper's heals back support. This arrangement may be to perform the resizing in slipper's length, the adjustments according to the foot size. The common size for example 1 to 4, 5 to 9 and 10 to 14 or 16 respectively may be the pair's size and numbers in three sets fit for all (between) foot sizes. This may be further classified according to the set size. Example small, medium and large sets respectively in slippers set's category.
The hygienic footwear equipment rack unit may be designed for advance functions of equipment unit, at all the six levels handling steps. [4] Background of Invention
The hygienic footwear equipment unit may be conventional on the run with quick and easy steps to follow in keeping distance or separation between the two, indoor clean hygienic environmental place and outdoor environment. This may require the use of equipment unit at entry point. The newly designed equipment for footwear handling. The steps of stacking the close shoe on the rack, and processed with hot air drying from inside, sanitizing bottom of any footwear, medically recommended UV sterilizing (lamp) rays that not only from outside of the footwear including inside of close shoes.
The quick replacement or wearable option over the shoes or footwear may be constructed slip in adjustable length size of newly designed slippers pair's in small, medium and large set of size.
This may be detachably hangered on equipment's magnetic conveyer belt or metal chain in the bottom 4 th level of equipment unit for hands free use. The equipment's all electrical functions may also be operated and controlled by remote control device
The other way may be use of newly designed slippers hangered on plain basic board of any solid material at entry point without the full equipment level arrangements of hygienic automated practice on bar hooks for use or replacement of slippers. As shown in the fig 2 of drawings section.
[5] Summary of Invention
The invisible threat from the outdoor environmental germs, virus, bacterial and fungal infection carried out by the foot wear commonly and unknowingly in a safe and healthy environment by us and contaminate and or cross contaminating by stepping over invisible foot prints of others and spreading all over the place causes serious health problem, for life or life threatening illness due to the bad practice of footwear care, and handling or may lack of equipment or no proper user friendly arrangements to use. The hygienic footwear equipment rack unit may be specially designed for those advance challenges as well good hygienic practice of handling footwear hands free and user friendly.
Therefore a hygienic and clean environment of the place may be maintain and protected by the hygienic footwear equipment rack unit. The hygienic footwear equipment rack unit may be used for resolving foot related problems or disease such as athlete's foot, fungal infection, and bacterial infection, other kind of virus or bad odor or excessive sweat, foot allergies may cured by medical treatment along with use of hygienic foot wear. On board sanitizing, sterilizing and hot air drying practice on routine basis.
This the new hygienic footwear equipment rack unit may allow users to hygienically recommended cleaning of the shoes or footwear from inside and outside. This may control of germs and infection spreading further, or this also avoid in promoting breeding ground to germs and infection by avoiding wearing sweat damp wet unhygienic shoes.
The seven steps of operations may be involved on each level as preventive measure.
• Placement of hygienic footwear equipment rack unit at indoor entry point. • Sanitize footwear bottom part with sanitizer filled liquid tray on ground level of the equipment unit before entering the premises.
• Wipe the footwear bottom sole after sanitizing with carpet tray doormat or rug for damp wet bottom to dry clean surface.
• Keeping outdoor footwear on equipment rack unit and or replace with wearable indoor slippers over footwear and shoes from the conveyer belt hands free.
• Dry and sterilize outdoor shoes from inside, for odor, sweat and infection or allergy causing germs by hot air blower plus UV lamp on open rack leveled in open air of equipment unit.
• Sterilize any kind of footwear from all sides with UV lamp rays in the closet shoe compartment on 3 rd level of equipment unit.
• The top 1 st level of the equipment may use for hot air blower, power switches, timer switches, light switch and other electric components function switch for operations.
• The hygienic footwear equipment rack unit may be fully automated to use from the distance hands free accept, hand held remote device for equipment's electric component functions remotely.
