Mobile ultraviolet lamp apparatuses having a reflector system that redirects light to a high touch area of a room
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a germicidal lamp configured to emit ultraviolet light, wherein the germicidal lamp is arranged lengthwise substantially parallel to a horizontal plane of the apparatus;
a mobile carriage supporting the germicidal lamp, wherein the mobile carriage comprises;
one or more compartments underneath said arranged germicidal lamp, wherein the one or more compartments hold operational components for the apparatus;
a casing enclosing the one or more compartments, wherein the apparatus is configured such that the germicidal lamp is not moveable beyond vertical planes aligned with the casing when the germicidal lamp is supported by the mobile carriage; and
wheels along a bottom of the mobile carriage to affect portability of the apparatus; and
a reflector system arranged in the apparatus such that ultraviolet light emitted from the germicidal lamp is projected to a region exterior to the apparatus between approximately 2 feet and approximately 4 feet from a floor of a room in which the apparatus is arranged, wherein the apparatus is configured such that a reflector of the reflector system is moveable relative to the mobile carriage.

Abstract
Apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp and a reflector system arranged to project light emitted from the lamp to a region 2-4 feet from a floor of a room in which the apparatus is arranged. The apparatuses include a mobile carriage with wheels and one or more compartments underneath the lamp that hold operational components for the apparatus. The apparatuses are configured such that the lamp is not moveable beyond vertical planes aligned with a casing of the carriage. In some cases, a lowermost surface of the lamp is arranged at an elevation substantially level with or above an upper surface of the casing that is at least 36 inches above the floor of the room. In addition or alternatively, the carriage may include a handle exterior to its casing having an uppermost surface arranged at substantially the same level or lower than a lowermost surface of the lamp.
