Patent number: 10166308Abstract: Disclosed is a disinfecting station for at least one portable electronic device. An enclosure is adapted to receive the at least one portable electronic device therein through an openable side that includes a selectively closable door. Each electronic device is exposed to a disinfecting wavelength of light, such as UV light, to disinfect the surface of the device. The enclosure can include supports that minimally contact each device so that the device will be substantially exposed to the UV light. A control circuit can monitor the exposure time and level, and is programmable to activate the UV light based on pre-set criteria. The enclosures may be stacked and provide power and network connectivity to each device while docked therein.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: READYDOCK, INC.Inventors: David G. Engelhardt, William A. Saimond
