主权项

1. A device for cleaning of footwear in connection with use of construction site vehicles, comprising
a water pump (16) fluidly connected to a plurality of nozzles (20, 21) via a water pipe (18); an air pipe (23) fluidly connected to a source of pressurized air and the plurality of nozzles (20, 21); a housing (2) arranged to protect the other parts of the device against external influence, having a recess (14) for receiving footwear to be cleaned; and at least one sensor (25) for initiating a cleaning cycle when footwear is positioned in said recess (14), the cleaning cycle including a period automatically-initiated flushing water from the water pump (16) through the plurality of nozzles (20, 21) into the recess (14), thereby contacting the footwear with water followed by immediate blowing of air from the source of pressurized air through the plurality of nozzles (20, 21) into the recess (14), thereby drying the footwear, while the footwear remains stationary in the recess (14) throughout the cleaning cycle, wherein the recess (14) for receiving footwear to be cleaned is partially defined by a lower footplate (15) having a surface through which water and dirt can pass, and at least one inwardly pointed lower nozzle (21) is positioned beneath the lower footplate (15) and configured for flushing and subsequently drying the footwear in the direction from the lower footplate (15).
