  • Patent number: 12104824
    Abstract: An in-duct air sanitization apparatus features an air sanitizer, and a set of reflectors. A housing of the sanitizer is mountable to a first wall of an HVAC duct, and a UV emitter resides on a working side of the housing that faces into the HVAC duct to irradiate the duct interior with UV light. The reflectors are mountable on interior wall surfaces of the duct to receive and reflect incident light from the sanitizer to ensure thorough irradiation of an entire cross-sectional flow area of the duct interior, thus optimizing the effective UV sterilization of the airflow. The emitter is oriented with one or more bulb axes thereof oriented parallel to the working side of the housing to provide the sanitizer with a compact and conveniently handled low-profile design. The reflectors are mounted magnetically to the duct walls in tool-free fashion with no detriment to duct wall integrity.

  • Patent number: 8584601
    Abstract: A work bench, mountable on a pair of vertical elongate members, adapted to be mounted on a wall. The work bench can be collapsed from an extended position to a stowed position coplanar with the elongate members. The elongate members each have longitudinally spaced notches. A bracing member is provided with a pair of trunnion members that extend from the bracing member and are releasably pivotably coupled to a pair of notches in respective of the pair of elongate members; the bracing member further having a distal end for releasably engaging the working surface of the work bench. When in the extended position, the distal end of the bracing member releasably engages the work bench to support the work bench; when in the collapsed position the work bench overlays the bracing assembly.
