Publication number: 20230372561Abstract: An apparatus and method for sanitizing contaminated masks with UV-C radiation in a home or work environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes a rack structure with a plurality of arms, wherein each arm contains a fastener to permit users to secure an N-95, cloth, or surgical mask to the fastener in an expanded position. A UV-C bulb of sufficient size to provide a sanitizing effect yet prevent significant emission of ozone is placed on the rack structure to deliver uninterrupted UV-C rays to the mask surfaces. A housing structure covers the entire unit, including an inner reflective metallic surface and forming a seal to prevent the escape of UV-C radiation from the housing structure. A timing mechanism controls the length of time to which masks are exposed to UV-C light and alerts the user when sanitization is complete. An interlock mechanism prevents bulb activation unless the rack/bulb are covered.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventor: Patrick A. GRANT
