Abstract: An automated hand-washing device includes a case-like housing having two openings (A), into which the user can introduce the hands for disinfection and automated spraying of an antispetic solution operating without hand contact through spray nozzles, from where the antispetic solution jet is directed precisely to the correct spot; the fingertips, the fingers and part of the palm. The openings (A) are oval, vertically elongated ellipses and they contain substantially equally shaped recesses, which urge the hands into the correct position for the period of disinfection.
