Support Structures, Cabinets and Methods For Disinfecting Objects

A cabinet, comprising:

• a moveable partition for separating first and second portions of the cabinet, wherein the moveable partition is configured to block transmission of a germicide;
• at least one door for access to at least the second portion of the cabinet;
• and
• a sensor for detecting when the moveable partition is in position to separate the first and second portions of the cabinet.

A cabinet, comprising:

• an interior void dimensionally configured to accommodate a particular disinfection device, wherein the cabinet does not include an electrical outlet or a battery for supplying power to the particular disinfection device;
• a door to enclose the cabinet;
• one or more germicide dose sensors arranged in the interior of the cabinet;
• a processor;
• and
• a storage medium comprising program instructions which are executable by the processor for terminating operation of the particular disinfection apparatus when a signal is received from at least one of the one or more germicide dose sensors indicating that a predetermined dose of germicide is detected within the cabinet.

A method for disinfecting objects, wherein the method comprises:

• placing a first set of one or more objects into a cabinet;
• placing a first disinfection device into the cabinet, wherein the first disinfection device is configured to project a germicide into an ambient of the first disinfection device;
• closing the cabinet with the first disinfection device and the first set of one or more objects inside the cabinet;
• remotely starting the first disinfection device to disperse the germicide within the closed cabinet;
• opening the cabinet subsequent to the first disinfection device terminating dispersal of the germicide;
• removing the first disinfection device and the first set of one or more objects from the cabinet;
• dismantling the cabinet subsequent to said removing the first disinfection device and the first set of one or more objects from the cabinet;
• reconstructing the cabinet;
• placing a second set of one or more objects into the reconstructed cabinet;
• placing a second disinfection device into the reconstructed cabinet;
• closing the reconstructed cabinet with the second disinfection device and the second set of one or more objects inside the reconstructed cabinet;
• and
• remotely starting the second disinfection device to disperse the germicide within the closed cabinet.
