Claims16
A self-cleaning ion generator device, comprising:
- a base that extends to an outer edge having a keyhole shape, the base has an upper portion and a bottom portion, the upper portion has an arcuate shape and the bottom portion is square shaped, a sidewall that extends from the outer edge of the base to an upper edge forming a storage compartment within the base and sidewall;
- and a top portion engaged to the upper edge of the sidewall enclosing the storage compartment;
- two electrodes extending from the top portion;
- and
- a cleaning apparatus for cleaning the electrodes.
