  • Patent number: 11607469
    Abstract: A standalone UV-C sanitizing apparatus and method is provided that is operable to sanitize and disinfect a user's hands or protective gloves. The apparatus includes a housing with light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned to emit ultraviolet (UV-C) light connected to a circuit board which are individually connected to a power source. The apparatus is configured so that when the user positions the hands or gloves under the housing, the UV-C light is emitted for a predetermined period of time based on the distance to the hands and the power output of the LEDs. The UV-C light is emitted at a wavelength suitable to kill, destroy, or reduce growth of microorganisms/germs. The housing can be configured with a sensor to detect motion under the housing and include a limiter hand guard.

  • Publication number: 20210353786
    Abstract: A handheld UV-C sanitizing apparatus is provided and includes: (a) an enclosure defining an opening for light exposure and fabricated from quartz that is transparent or plastic; (b) a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to emit UV-C light; (c) a circuit board, wherein each LED is coupled to the circuit board and each LED is removable and replaceable independently; and (d) a power source coupled to the circuit board, wherein the power source configured to deliver power to each LED. The UV-C light emitted from the LEDs is at a wavelength suitable to kill, destroy, or reduce growth of microorganisms and germs in a preset exposure area directly below the UV-C light. The arrangement of the LEDs spaced apart from each other is configured to emit cones of UV-C light emission sufficient to cover the preset exposure area corresponding to a user's hand surface area.
