Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described. Reference numeral 11 denotes a main body of a rectangular planar disinfecting device which houses a disinfecting solution tank 12, an electromagnetic pump 13, an electromagnetic valve 14 and the like. A hood 16 forming a disinfecting chamber 15 is attached inside the main body 11. Reference numeral 17 denotes a disinfectant spray nozzle attached to the nozzle cover 18 at the center in the left-right width direction at the upper end of the disinfectant chamber 15. A sensor (not shown) attached to the electromagnetic pump 13 detects and sends a signal to the electromagnetic pump 13, which causes the electromagnetic pump 13 to operate and eject the disinfectant solution pumped from the disinfectant solution tank 12 in a mist state. is there.

By the way, the hood 16 has a substantially rectangular planar shape so as to match the planar shape of the disinfectant main body 11, and two adjacent side surfaces of the hood 16 are L-shaped. Reference numerals 19 and 20 denote side plates which are fitted into one of the two side surfaces opened in the L-shape and leave an opening in the other side. Specifically, when opening the front along the long side of the hand sanitizer, insert the side plate 19 into the opening on the short side, and when opening the side along the short side of the hand sanitizer, open the long side. The side plate 20 may be fitted into the opening of the. Reference numeral 21 is a disinfectant solution tray placed on the disinfectant body 11,
22 is provided so that the position can be freely changed. 23 is a nozzle holder 24 that supports the electromagnetic pump 13 and the disinfectant spray nozzle 17
Reference numeral 25 is a disinfectant solution supply pipe for connecting the solenoid valve and 25 is a disinfectant solution return pipe for connecting the solenoid valve 14 and the nozzle holder 24.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the front surface along the long side of the hand sanitizer is opened, and the cross-sectional state is shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the main part is further enlarged. Also from this drawing, when the front surface along the long side of the hand sanitizer is opened, the side plate 19 is fitted into the opening on the short side. Grooves 26 and 27 are formed vertically in the side plate 19 along the longitudinal direction, and the groove 27 at the lower end is a ridge 28 formed on the upper surface of the main body 11 of the sterilizer.
Then, the side plate 19 is attached by fitting the groove 26 at the upper end with the protruding portion 29 formed at the upper end of the opening on the short side of the hood 16.

By thus closing the opening on the short side of the hand sanitizer with the side plate 19 and leaving the front along the long side open, the length in the width direction to the left and right of the depth as shown in FIG. Has a long shape, and the disinfection chamber 15
