INFANT STIMULATION AND ENVIRONMENT STERILIZING DEVICE

摘要

A cognitive stimulating sterilizing device for providing visual, tactile and, or audible stimulation for infants that also selectively sterilizes select items and the surrounding ambient. This including a housing adapted for removable connection to cribs, changing tables and similar furniture, an ultraviolet light source in the housing for sanitizing items in the housing when closed and the ambient when opened, audio source and compartments for holding and storing select items. The housing may include reflective and/or transparent surfaces for directing and/or passing ultraviolet light. A sensor, such as an infrared sensor, detects the presence of a human in the surrounding area in a motion-independent manner, such as by detecting fluctuations in infrared energy emitted by the human. A microcontroller receives data from the sensor and directs the activation and/or deactivation of the ultraviolet light source according to whether a human is detected.

主权项

1. A cognitive stimulating and sterilizing system for selectively mentally stimulating infants and sanitizing a surrounding area, the system comprising:
a housing having an upper receptacle and lower receptacle; a support rod for supporting said housing and facilitating movement of said upper and lower receptacles for opening and closing said housing, said rod comprising at least two rods telescopically joined together; an ultraviolet (UV) light source supported in said housing for generating and emanating ultraviolet light at a wavelength calculated to disinfect objects in the surrounding area; and a sensor capable of detecting the presence of a human in the surrounding area in a motion-independent manner.
