To this end, the mesh bracket 14a is formed of an inner wall and an outer wall as shown in FIG. 2A to form an inner groove therebetween so that the blocking net 14 can be fixed to the inner groove, and the width of the inner wall is wide. Since both ends of the ultraviolet light can be blocked as much as possible, the plug portion formed at both ends of the ultraviolet light 13 is preferably formed to have a width that can be wrapped, and is mounted so as to be spaced apart from the ultraviolet light 13 by the thickness of the inner wall thereof. Will be maintained.

In this case, the barrier net 14 is very low in elasticity, so the shape of the barrier net 14 is not deformed even when external force or impact is generated on the barrier net 14 by using a metal material having almost no deformation. It is desirable to keep the distance from the surface of (13) constant so as to prevent the friction.

In addition, when the ultraviolet light 13 is formed to have a structure as shown in FIG. 9, the inner space 11a is formed to be stepped into the upper space of the inner space 11 of the cover body 10 to form an ultraviolet ray. It is possible to form the blocking net 14 in the form of blocking the inner space (11a) in the state that the back 13 is inserted.

In this case, the blocking net 14 may be used in the form of a plate formed with a plurality of perforation holes, or in the form of a grille by twisting wires or wires, in addition to ultraviolet rays using a transparent plate such as glass or acrylic plate The ultraviolet light 13 can be mounted so as not to be directly exposed to the outside while only transmitting.

And the cover body 10 is to be able to improve the sterilization efficiency by reflecting the light emitted from the ultraviolet light 13 by mounting an aluminum plate or silver foil coated reflector plate 17 on the inner wall of the inner space (11) , The reflecting plate 17 made of a plate material is cut to fit the shape of the inner space 11 so that it can be easily assembled by inserting and engaging the inner wall of the inner space by folding.
