HAND SANITIZING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A VEHICLE
The present disclosure provides a hand sanitizing apparatus able to automatically prevent the inside of a vehicle from being contaminated by at least one of bacterium and virus by a typical pattern of behaviors of an occupant. A communicator performs pairing with a smart key. A first sensor system detects whether or not a portion of a hand of an occupant enters an inside of a door handle after the pairing. A second sensor system detects a contact position of the portion of the hand in response to the detection of the first sensor system. A controller determines a spray area onto which a sanitizer is to be sprayed in accordance with the contact position. A drive unit sprays the sanitizer onto the spray area determined by an instrument unit provided on the door handle.
Wastewater management system for vehicles and related methods
A wastewater management system 10 includes a black water tank 12 for holding black wastewater and a grey water tank 14 for holding grey wastewater. The system 10 may additionally include a filter 62 for filtering suspended solids from the grey water; a first conduit 64 between the grey water tank 14 and the filter 62; a second conduit 66 between the filter 62 and a toilet 22, and a third conduit 68 between the filter 68 and the black water tank 12, the third conduit 68 associated with a valve 26; and a fourth conduit 69 between the filter 62 and the grey water tank 14, the fourth conduit 69 associated with the valve 26. The system 10 further includes a control sub-system 38 in communication with the valves 26 for controlling valves 26 to deliver filtered grey water to the toilet 22 for flush and to periodically clean the filter 62 of captured solids and deliver the captured solids to the black water tank 12. A related method for managing wastewater within a recreational vehicles with the wastewater management system 10, an apparatus for delivering wastewater from a recreational vehicles to a drain and an additive sub-system 54 for wastewater management system of a vehicle are also provided. Further, the present teachings relate to a system 10 including a housing associated with a toilet 22, the housing including a valve and a macerator pumping arrangement 34 including a macerator 34a and a pump 34b that work independently from one another, the macerator 34a including a plurality of macerating knives 37 driven by a first motor 35a, the pump 34b providing positive pressure, the macerator pumping arrangement 34 is operative in a macerating mode and a pumping mode, such that the first motor 35a first drives the macerating knives 37 to macerate the waste and subsequently, the pump 34b pumps the waste out of the housing 34a.
Black tank sewer flush adapter
A black tank sewer flush adapter comprises a tubular body, a boss connector connected to or integrally formed to the tubular body, a flexible sealing washer, and a fastener. The fastener is for forming an attachment with the distal end of the boss connector while the water hose passes longitudinally through at least all the opening of the fastener, the opening of the flexible sealing washer, and the distal end opening of the boss connector. By allowing the water stream emitting end of the water hose to pass through the boss connector and the proximal end of the adapter and into a black tank, the water stream can be applied directly to the interior surfaces of the black tank and a net increase in dislodging adhered sludge from the interior surfaces of the black tank is observed.

VEHICLE SANITIZING SHIELD
A sanitizing shield for a vehicle includes a separation surface configured to at least partially shroud a shielded seat. The separation surface has an inner seat facing side and an outer shielding side. The sanitizing shield includes a sanitization station coupled to the separation surface. The sanitizing shield can have one or more of a hand sanitizer dispenser, an air purifier, and/or an ultraviolet-C(UVC) sanitizer. The sanitizing shield provides for improved physical separation within the passenger cabin while enhancing the sanitization potential available to rear passengers of the vehicle.
