[0001] The present disclosure relates to a disinfectant apparatus to sanitize objects and
subjects. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a decontamination tunnel for
sanitizing human bodies.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided
herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication
specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Various infecting ailments have increased the chances of hazardous diseases
spreading from one entities (object or subject like humans, animals) to other thereby increasing
the demand for protection and safety. The sanitization of the entities becomes crucial and
important for eradicating the health related risk caused by different viruses, bacteria and other
infectants. But sanitizing of the entities in public place without any kind of contact is bit
challenging.
[0004] Many methods and solutions can be used for sanitizing the entities either by
directly exposing them to the sanitizing elements or by indirectly exposing them for the
cleansing of the entities. The repeated process used for decontamination of the entities can help
in diminishing the chances of the infectants to a greater extent. This also helps in breaking the
chain of the harmful viruses, bacteria and other infectants thereby reducing the health related
risk.
[0005] The sanitizing elements used for the disinfecting the entities is alcohol and other
such volatile liquids or ultraviolet sources like UV lamps or dryer assembly. But the above
mentioned sanitizing elements are used individually or with a combination of any two. Also
the sanitizing elements like alcohol can be dangerous when directly exposed to the entities. The
infectants, germs, virus and bacteria continues to remain on the entities even after sanitization.
The conventional solution for the above mentioned sanitization method can no longer serve the
purpose of the sanitization due to single layer or protection of sanitizing units installed in the
above apparatus.
3
[0006] There is a need to overcome the above problems of the prior art with a solution
which reduces the health related risk due to virus, bacteria and infectants by providing an
effective sanitization of the entities with multiple layer of sanitizing units.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0007] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment
herein satisfies are as listed herein below

source, and dryer assembly to sanitize the entities.
[00010] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide apparatus, which is portable,
foldable and installed at any place.
[00011] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide apparatus, which is adapted

of alarm signals can include any or a combination of audio, electroacoustic, text and video
signals.
[00061] In an embodiment, the apparatus 100 can be adapted in form of any or a
combination of a tunnel, a cabinet and a housing. In an example, when the one or more entities
enter into the first compartment 202-1 from the inlet, the one or more entities can be detected
by the detection unit, where the detection unit can include any or a combination of ultraviolet
sensor, infrared sensor, passive infrared sensor, motion sensor, camera, proximity sensor, and
temperature sensor. In an illustrative embodiment, the one or more sanitizing element such as
the disinfectant 104-1 can be sprayed through the perforated walls to the first compartment
202-1 and, where the disinfectant 104-1 can include alcohol and other such volatile liquids.
When the one or more entities move to the second compartment 202-2, where the one or more
sanitizing element such as UV rays can be emitted by the UV source 104-2, through the
perforated walls, to the second compartment 202-2 which can be configured to sterilize the one
or more entities again. Subsequently, when the one or more entities move to the third
compartment 202-3, where the one or more sanitizing element such as the dryer assembly
104-3 can generate heat through the perforated walls to the third compartment 202-1and can
be coupled to kill moisture based bacteria, and finally the one or more entities comes out from
the outlet of the apparatus 100.
[00062] In an embodiment, the apparatus 100 can be portable, foldable and
reconfigurable, and can be moved from one place to other easily. In another embodiment, the
apparatus 100 can be installed at a particular place. Also the one or more entities can be
sanitized without directly exposing body of the one or more entities to the at least one of the
sanitizing units 104 while passing through the apparatus 100.
[00063] In an embodiment, the apparatus 100 can include a power source ,where the
power source can be any or a combination of battery, inverter, generator and power lines to
12
supply electrical energy to the one or more compartments 202-1, 202-2, and 202-3 of the
apparatus 100 and helps in sanitizing of the one or more entities.
[00064] Thus, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the diagrams,
schematics, illustrations, and the like represent conceptual views or processes illustrating
systems and methods embodying this invention. The functions of the various elements shown
in the figures may be provided through the use of dedicated hardware as well as hardware
capable of executing associated software. Similarly, any switches shown in the figures are
conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic,
through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even
manually, the particular technique being selectable by the entity implementing this invention.
Those of ordinary skill in the art further understand that the exemplary hardware, software,
processes, methods, and/or operating systems described herein are for illustrative purposes and,
thus, are not intended to be limited to any particular named.
[00065] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and
described, it will be clear that the invention is not limited to these embodiments only. Numerous
modifications, changes, variations, substitutions, and equivalents will be apparent to those
skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as described in
the claim.
[00066] In the foregoing description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent,
however, to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, that the present
invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known
structures and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, to avoid
obscuring the present invention.
[00067] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to"
is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each
other contact each other)and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is
located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are
used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled
with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network,
where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly
via one or more intermediary device.
[00068] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications
besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts
herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the
13
appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms
should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular,
the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements,
components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements,
components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements,
components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
[00069] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and
further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope
thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is
not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable
a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with
information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
