Sanitizing surfaces associated with assembly areas
First Claim
1. A method of sanitizing seat surfaces in a fixed-non-movable structure and location being related to a public mass assembly area for an association or congregation of people, selectively a passenger area at the fixed-non-moveable structure and location, or a venue for entertainment or sport at the fixed-non-movable movable structure and location, the area having multiple rows of seats arranged opposite to each other with an aisle between the opposite rows comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a sanitization device including a mobile body configured to travel along the aisle of the assembly area at the fixed-non-movable structure and location;
b) extending the sanitization device laterally from the mobile body across a seat surface, a source of UV radiation being mounted on the sanitization device;
c) moving the sanitization device across a first seat surface;
d) exposing the first seat surface to UV radiation produced by the source;
e) moving the mobile body along the aisle while the device moves over seats surfaces of subsequent seat rows at the fixed-non-movable structure and location; and
f) directing a source of UV radiation to the seat surfaces at a predetermined dosage while the device moves over seats surfaces;
the mobile body being powered by a power source on board the mobile device.

Abstract
Sanitizing seat surfaces in a location being related to a mass assembly areas, such as a public mass transportation vehicle includes a passenger assembly area related to the location. There are multiple rows of seats. A sanitization device includes a mobile body configured to travel along the aisle of the area. An arm extends from the sanitization device laterally from the mobile body across the seats, and a source of UV radiation mounted on the sanitization device is directed across the seats exposing surfaces in the passenger area to UV radiation.
