Publication number: 20250144257Abstract: A system and apparatus for sanitizing person use items. The system is comprised essentially of a mechanism for emitting sanitizing electromagnetic radiation within an enclosed compartment. The apparatus may be light-tight such that the radiation is contained within the apparatus. It may be configured to emit a plurality of sanitizing wavelengths. The apparatus may include a series of reflective and/or refractive items or apparatuses, including a reflective grid for supporting a device to be sanitized, to alter the reflection path of the emitted electromagnetic radiation, allowing the electromagnetic radiation to reflect in a plurality of directions. The enclosure may include a support member or personal item support that may be transparent to, or reflective of, the electromagnetic radiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Carrie Martz, Brooke O'Connor
