<p>A portable sterilizing apparatus comprises: a portable body housing (1) having a generally part-cylindrical side wall portion; a horizontal bottom floor surface; a flange portion (3) formed to extend parallel with the bottom surface; and an irradiating unit (2) having a shade member (15), a sterilizing lamp (19) with a terminal electrode, an electric socket (20) for receiving the terminal electrode, and a lamp holder (17) provided in the irradiating unit for replaceably supporting the sterilizing lamp. The irradiating unit is pivotally supported on a top portion of the body housing (1) for rotating upward from a front surface (4) of the housing, said body housing being provided at its inside with power source means (10) and means (7) for controlling the conduction of electric power from the power source. The control means (7) include an automatic switch (11) for turning OFF the electric power supplied to the irradiating unit when the irradiating unit assumes a closed position, a timer (13) for pre-limiting the lighting time of the sterilizing lamp (19) when the irradiating unit assumes an open position, a manual switch (14) for turning ON the sterilizing lamp again by external operation after expiration of the lighting time of the sterilizing lamp limited by the timer and a lighting lamp (12) indicating the lighting state of the sterilizing lamp. <IMAGE></p> |
