Abstract
Disclosed herein are various disinfection devices for disinfecting various objects. Such devices can include a device having a body, at least one light array disposed on an interior surface of the body, and a conveyor disposed within the body. Further disclosed are various methods of disinfecting various objects using such disinfection devices.
Claims22
A disinfection device comprising:
- (a) a body comprising:
- (i) a bottom wall;
- (ii) two side walls coupled to the bottom wall;
- (iii) a top wall coupled to the two side walls;
- (iv) a first opening defined at a first end of the body;
- and
- (v) a second opening defined at a second end of the body;
- (b) at least one light array disposed on an interior surface of each of the two side walls and the top wall, wherein the at least one light array is positionable in relation to the interior surface between a retracted position and an extended position;
- and
- (c) a conveyor disposed on the bottom wall, wherein the conveyor extends from the first opening to the second opening such that any object disposed on the conveyor is urged into the body through the first opening and out of the body through the second opening.
