SANITIZATION APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE USING ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17850751 titled 'SANITIZATION APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE USING ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a sanitization apparatus for vehicles that uses ultraviolet light to sterilize objects. The apparatus includes a chamber and a light emitting diode (LED) that emits ultraviolet light. A reflective surface is placed adjacent to the LED to reflect the emitted light into the chamber. The reflective surface and the LED are positioned in a way that their planes intersect.

  • The apparatus is designed to sanitize objects in vehicles using ultraviolet light.
  • It includes a chamber and a LED that emits ultraviolet light.
  • A reflective surface is placed next to the LED to reflect the emitted light into the chamber.
  • The reflective surface and the LED are positioned in a way that their planes intersect.

Potential Applications

  • Sanitizing objects in vehicles, such as car interiors or public transportation.
  • Sterilizing personal belongings, such as bags or electronic devices, in vehicles.

Problems Solved

  • Provides a convenient and efficient way to sanitize objects in vehicles.
  • Helps to reduce the spread of germs and viruses in enclosed spaces.

Benefits

  • Uses ultraviolet light to effectively sterilize objects.
  • Compact and easily installable in vehicles.
  • Reflective surface enhances the distribution of ultraviolet light in the chamber.


Original Abstract Submitted

A sanitization apparatus of a vehicle includes (i) surfaces defining a chamber configured to accept an object to be sterilized with ultraviolet light and (ii) a first light emitting diode (LED) including a die that is configured to emit ultraviolet light. The die has a primary surface that defines a plane that extends through the chamber. The sanitization apparatus further includes a first reflective surface that is reflective of ultraviolet light disposed adjacent to the first LED. At least a portion of the ultraviolet light that the die emits reflects off of the first reflective surface and into the chamber. The first reflective surface defines a plane that intersects with the plane that the primary surface of the die defines.
