  • Patent number: 12370280
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a light kit assembly to disinfect a carrier between banking transactions of a drive-through banking system. Customers or bankers can activate the sanitization mode of operation to kill germs and viruses without removal of the carrier from the drive-through banking system. The sanitization mode of operation can be automatic. The carrier is positioned in the carrier pocket of a customer station in which a light kit assembly has been installed. An indicator light positioned exteriorly of the customer station indicates that the carrier is being sanitized by one or more UV lights attached to a mounting plate having two bi-folded wings that is positioned within the carrier pocket adjacent to the carrier. Two mounting plates in a mirror-image arrangement may be positioned in the carrier pocket to enable 360 degree application of UV light onto the carrier.
