Abstract
An apparatus for disinfecting a button including a housing having an inner side and an outer side. At least one button is disposed within the housing, the button having a rotational symmetry allowing rotation of the button with respect to the housing. A rotation mechanism rotates the button with respect to the housing. A disinfecting system positioned on the inner side of the housing disinfects a portion of the button that is exposed on the inner side of the housing. The rotation mechanism rotates the button at a substantially constant speed. The apparatus provides a safer operation of the button as there is a continuous sanitizing of the surface of the button contaminated by users.
