Abstract
An air evacuator includes a dome having an exterior surface, an interior funneling surface, an air intake end, and an air outlet end, the dome being significantly wider at the air intake end than at said air outlet end. An inlet allows air from outside the air evacuator to be drawn into the dome. A vent tube is positioned to receive air from the air outlet end of the dome. An air pump is positioned to move air in the air evacuator and through a filter. One or more interior-aimed ultraviolet lamps positioned within the air evacuator treat and disinfect air as it is drawn into the air evacuator. A light trap extends substantially across the air intake end of the dome to prevent ultraviolet light from one or more ultraviolet lamps from shining directly out from within the dome through the air intake end of the dome.
Claims121
An air evacuator comprising:
- a dome having an exterior surface, an interior funneling surface, an air intake end, and an air outlet end, said dome being wider at said air intake end than at said air outlet end;
- an inlet to allow air from outside said air evacuator to be drawn into said dome;
- a vent tube for receiving air from said air outlet end of said dome;
- an air pump for moving air in said air evacuator;
- a filter for filtering air drawn into said air evacuator;
- at least one interior-aimed ultraviolet lamp positioned within said air evacuator to treat air drawn into said air evacuator;
- a light trap extending substantially across said air intake end of said dome, said light trap preventing ultraviolet light from said at least one ultraviolet lamp from shining directly out from within said dome through said air intake end of said dome;
- and
- at least one exterior ultraviolet lamp positioned on said air evacuator to treat air and or surfaces exterior to said air evacuator.
