1. An apparatus for sanitizing an article, the apparatus comprising:
a housing including a plurality of walls, a ceiling, and a floor, the plurality of walls, the ceiling and the floor interconnected for defining an enclosed internal chamber, one of the plurality of walls having an opening at a door side into the chamber; a door configured to selectively close the door side of the housing for substantially sealing the chamber; a UV light source disposed on at least one of the plurality of walls internally of the housing for irradiating the chamber; an electronic circuit electrically connected to the UV light source and adapted to power the UV light source for a predetermined period of time; and a plurality of reflector units disposed on floor of the housing, each reflector unit including a reflective section comprising
a pair of major planar side surfaces, the side surfaces projecting into the chamber at an angle other than normal with respect to the floor of the housing, the side surfaces joining at a common longitudinal edge along a central longitudinal axis of the reflector unit, the plurality of reflector units comprising
a pair of spaced linear reflector units positioned such that the central longitudinal axis of the pair of reflector units extends along a midline of the floor between two of the plurality of walls defining the chamber, anda central reflector unit disposed between the pair of linear reflector units on the midline, the major planar side surfaces of the central reflector unit comprising
a first portion, anda second portion angled with respect to the first portion, each of the first portion and the second portion of the major side surfaces having a central longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to at least one axis extending between the corners of the walls,wherein with the article placed in the chamber and the door closed and the electronic circuit activated the UV lamp is powered for the predetermined period of time such that UV light from the light source and UV light reflected back into the chamber by the plurality of reflector units illuminates the article for sanitizing the article. |
