Patent attributes
Provided is a portable germicidal apparatus that is, in one embodiment, configured to be moved during operation that can comprise: a frame comprising a base, a distal end, and an elongated structural support member defining a longitudinal axis, wiring providing electrical power to the base and the distal end, wherein the apparatus is configured to permit germicidal UVC radiation to be emitted from the apparatus in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis between the base and the distal end in substantially 360 degrees. A further embodiment of the present invention is described that includes a portable germicidal apparatus comprising a harness configured to be worn by a user of the apparatus, a wand configured to provide UVC radiation, and a free-range motion component that connects the harness and wand, supports the weight of the wand, and provides at least two degrees of freedom for movement of the wand.
