| Abstract | ||||
| In the context of COVID-19, various organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States of America, have identified high-touch surfaces as a potential vector of transmission of COVID-19, which comprise doorknobs, light switches, handles, and similar surfaces. Additionally, recent findings from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) suggest that COVID- 19 can survive 28 days on smooth, non-porous surfaces at ambient temperatures, showing that disinfection frequency for high-touch surfaces is not enough and far from optimal. According to this problem, the present research has identified the need to provide hand sanitizer near high-touch surfaces and remarking that most common surfaces are located near the entrances, it is proposed to implement a solution on the doors. It has been identified an important need to offer a solution that is not bulky and obstructive like existing solutions in the market, specially adapted for applications in small places like houses, residential buildings, small businesses/offices, and social areas. As a result of the work carried out, it was determined that using a linear and retractable motion system for the Door-Mounted Hand Sanitizer Dispenser will allow the product to be used in rooms with limited space, in a compact and safe manner. | ||||
