Patent attributes
A novel purification device is provided which projects Ultra-Violet wavelength light to create curtain-like beams that impair germs and pathogens exposed thereto or passing through the beams. A preferred embodiment described herein is comprised of a powered Light Emitting Diode to produce light, mounted edgelight-fashion onto an optically clear substrate light guide that has clear remote outer edges for light projection. Substrate utilized herein is an optically clear sheet such as acrylic that guides the edge-mounted L.E.D. produced Ultra-Violet wavelength light to its remote edges, projecting it outwardly through surrounding air and onto surfaces in light beams emitting from edges of the substrate, projected in suitable strength and wavelength UV-C to create a curtain-like partition, a barrier deadly to airborne or surface germs, and renders germs exposed to the light dead, damaged or inert.
