Public Hand Protection System (PHPS)

Abstract

A system for mitigating the transmission of infectious threats by providing an easy access to a cloth or mitt attached to a retractable cord to allow the user to grab a doorknob, subway passenger strap or pole without having skin contact with public touched surfaces. A protection cloth and retraction cord are attached to a personal attachment device, which can be worn on a belt, also has a container with sanitation solution that is applied to the protection cloth after use and can also be applied to a person's hands. A second cloth is also used to wipe down surfaces such as seats, knobs, switches, etc. providing a reusable sanitation cloth and refillable sanitation container. The invention will reduce the contact transmission of infectious disease threats in a more convenient method than current traditional methods of disposable cloths or liquids.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of protecting a user and other non-users by mitigating the transmission of infectious threats on contact surfaces comprising the steps of:
 attaching at least one protection cloth glove to an individual wherein the said protective cloth glove includes a retractable cord;   providing at least one container of sanitizing solution carried on or attached to said user;   applying said sanitizing solution to said protection cloth glove in to kill infectious disease threats on said protection cloth glove;   wherein said user can pull said protection cloth glove on said retractable cord and place said cloth glove on a surface;   wherein the user's hand is protected by the said protection cloth glove from infectious diseases threats and on any surface that said user touches with said protection cloth glove; and   providing protection to said other non-users by sanitizing surfaces that said user touched.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the container of sanitizing solution is attached to the user with a retractable cord. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment to a user is through a belt loop. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment to a user is a belt clip. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the protection cloth glove is removable for replacement or cleaning. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , including applying sanitizing solution directly to user's hands after using the protection cloth glove.
