Abstract
A device providing a reception surface for shoe soles to be disinfected, beneath which is an element impregnated with a disinfection liquid, the complete assembly being contained in a shallow tray or reservoir which is placed on the ground or embedded in this latter. The tray or reservoir (1) contains a certain quantity of disinfection liquid (4) and above the level of this liquid is a rigid plate which bears on the bottom of the tray or reservoir, for example by means of spacer members or ribs (7). The impregnation element consists of a sheet (9) of porous material stretched over and supported by the rigid plate (5a). At least one of the edges of the sheet dips into the disinfection liquid contained in the tray or reservoir (1) and serves as a capillary wick to impregnate the sheet with disinfectant. A perforated covering element (11) covers the impregnation sheet (9) so as to constitute the receiving surface for the shoes to be disinfected.
