Description

INC Sanitizing Bag FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a sanitizing bag that utilizes UVC
(ultraviolet C) lights. More specifically, the present invention is a device that is designed to sanitize any solid product placed within the UVC sanitizing bag.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Within this current time period individuals experience and come into contact with many harmful and dangerous bacteria, germs and viruses. Many individuals come into contact with them in public areas, where being near other individuals is unavoidable.
Some ways to limit the spread of these dangerous bacteria and viruses is by sanitizing various surfaces and by wearing protective equipment. Although, these methods of limiting the spread of viruses are effective they do not cover all potentially dangerous areas. For example, at a grocery store many individuals will touch and inspect their food before putting it in their cart and buying it, or before replacing it and continuing with their shopping. Certain produce cannot be sanitized in the same manner as other surfaces and thus present a potential way, where harmful bacteria and viruses can be spread from person to person. To mitigate the spread of these harmful bacteria and viruses, individuals must either rely on other people to not touch products if they do not purchase them or must hand clean each item once they are home. Unfortunately, hand cleaning each product is not entirely effective as it might not cover each area and additionally it takes a significant amount of time to properly clean each item. Thus, a small enclosure or bag that can sanitize grocery products in a mess free, quick, and efficient way is a need of the hour.
An objective of the present invention is to provide users with a sanitizing bag, to help eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses from grocery products. The present invention intends to provide users with a device that can hold various items and properly sanitize each item quickly and efficiently by utilizing UVC lights. Ultraviolet C (UVC) is a type of ultraviolet light with wavelengths between 100-280 nanometers (nm). UVC
light is a known disinfectant that inactivates viruses and bacteria. Accordingly, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a bag base, a bag lid, a plurality of bag handles, a plurality of bag pockets, and a plurality of boards. Further, the bag lid comprises components that control the various electronics throughout the present invention to ensure the user has a convenient and useful experience. Thus, the present invention is a bag that can sanitize any solid product placed within the bag, quickly and efficiently by utilizing UVC lights and ensures the safety of the user throughout the process.
SUM:MARY
An objective of the present invention is to help with eliminating harmful bacteria and viruses from various solid products. In other words, the present invention seeks to provide users with a device that can eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses from solid product by utilizing UVC lights on the top and bottom of a bag. In order to accomplish this the present invention comprises a bag base that ensures the present invention can stay charged and hold various products. Further, the bag lid and bag base ensure that the products placed within the present invention can be exposed to UVC lights from multiple directions. Additionally, the plurality of bag handles and bag pockets provide the user with additional functionality and storage. Further, a plurality of boards and shelves are designed to allow multiple storage levels which can be created within the UVC
sanitizing bag and ensure the present invention retains its overall shape. Thus, the present invention is a bag that can sanitize any solid product placed within, quickly and efficiently by utilizing UVC lights while ensuring the safety of the user throughout the process.
