## Abstract

The present invention relates to a device capable of disinfecting and sterilizing a medical sensor by ultraviolet radiation, the device comprising: a box-shaped case having a space portion formed therein and having an opening formed through a surface thereof; a door hingedly coupled to a side of the case so as to open and close the opening of the case; a holding member installed in the space portion of the case and allowing a medical sensor to be held on a side thereof; and an ultraviolet sterilizer installed on a side of the holding member.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A disinfecting and sterilizing device for a medical sensor comprising:
a box-shaped case having a space portion formed therein and having an opening formed through a surface thereof;
a door hinge-coupled to one side of the case so as to open and close the opening of the case;
a holding member installed in the space portion of the case and allowing a medical sensor to be held on one side thereof; and
an ultraviolet sterilizer installed on one side of the holding member,
wherein the holding member comprises a coupling part coupled to one surface of the case opposing the opening, an extension part extending from one side of the coupling part toward the opening, a support part bent and extending from an end of the extension part, a prop part protruding from an end of the support part so as to support one side of the medical sensor, and a guide hole cut from one side of the extension part to one side of the support part,
wherein the support part comprises a first support part bent and extending from the end of the extension part and a second support part inclined at a predetermined angle and extending from an end of the first support part, and
wherein a guide part, which has a tapered shape such that the guide part becomes thinner toward an end thereof and protrudes from a front surface of the second support part, is formed at an upper side of the prop part,
wherein the prop part comprises a pair of prop members spaced apart from each other and protruding from one side of the second support part,
wherein the pair of prop members include a first mounting part protruding forward from a front surface of the support part and supporting a lower end of the medical sensor, and a first catching part protruding upward from an end of the first mounting part and preventing the medical sensor from escaping forward,
wherein the pair of prop members are spaced apart from each other in parallel with each other in a widthwise direction of the support part,
wherein a wrap hanging part protrudes from an upper side of an rear surface of the case so as to hang pocket-shaped wrap for wrapping the medical sensor and to disinfect and sterilize the medical sensor.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The disinfecting and sterilizing device for a medical sensor according to claim 1, wherein a cable of the medical sensor passes a space between the pair of prop members and the guide hole and extends outward.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The disinfecting and sterilizing device for a medical sensor according to claim 1, wherein the coupling part is coupled to a bottom surface of the case and the support part is bent and extending from an end of the coupling part in a direction of the opening of the case.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The disinfecting and sterilizing device for a medical sensor according to claim 1, wherein one of the first and second support parts is coupled to a bottom surface of the case and the other extends upward.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The disinfecting and sterilizing device for a medical sensor according to claim 1, wherein the ultraviolet sterilizer comprises a housing provided on one side of the space portion of the case, and an ultraviolet lamp installed on one side of the housing.
