Abstract
A portable sanitizing system and method includes a sanitizing head including an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. The UV lamp is configured to emit UV light having a wavelength between 200 nm-230 nm to disinfect a surface.
Claims19
A portable sanitizing system, comprising:
- a wand assembly including:
- a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp;
- a handle moveably coupled to the sanitizing head;
- and
- a coupler that moveably couples the handle to the sanitizing head;
- and
- a backpack assembly comprising:
- one or more batteries that provide power to the UV lamp;
- at least one air filter configured to filter air drawn from the sanitizing head;
- an airflow device configured to one or more of generate airflow to cool the UV lamp, draw air from the sanitizing head, or remove ozone from the sanitizing head;
- and
- a hose that couples the backpack assembly to the sanitizing head.
9 more elements
A portable sanitizing system, comprising:
- a wand assembly including a sanitizing head having a shroud that retains an ultraviolet (UV) lamp, a handle moveably coupled to the sanitizing head, and a coupler that moveably couples the handle to the sanitizing head, wherein the sanitizing head is configured to one or both of linearly translate or swivel in relation to the handle, wherein the handle is configured to linearly translate, wherein the shroud comprises one or more openings that are configured to allow air to flow into the shroud;
- a backpack assembly, wherein the backpack assembly comprises one or more batteries that provide power to the UV lamp, at least one air filter that is configured to filter air drawn from the sanitizing head, and an airflow device that is configured to one or more of generate airflow to cool the UV lamp, draw air from the sanitizing head, or remove ozone from the sanitizing head;
- and
- a hose that couples the backpack assembly to the sanitizing head,
- wherein the UV lamp is configured to emit UV light having a wavelength of 222 nm to disinfect a surface.

A portable sanitizing method, comprising:
- moveably coupling a handle to a sanitizing head having a shroud that retains an ultraviolet (UV) lamp, wherein a coupler moveably couples the handle to the sanitizing head;
- coupling a backpack assembly to the sanitizing head, wherein the backpack assembly comprises one or more batteries that provide power to the UV lamp, at least one air filter that is configured to filter air drawn from the sanitizing head, an airflow device that is configured to one or more of generate airflow to cool the UV lamp, draw air from the sanitizing head, or remove ozone from the sanitizing head, and a hose that couples the backpack assembly to the sanitizing head;
- one or both of linearly translating or swiveling the sanitizing head in relation to the handle;
- and
- emitting, from the sanitizing head UV light having a wavelength between 200 nm-230 nm onto a surface.
