Earpiece with internal UV cleaning
11641542 · 2023-05-02 ·

The earpiece with internal UV cleaning source includes one or more internal UV light sources, specifically emitting UVC light. The UVC light is emitted during charging of the earbud, thus conserving battery power by only emitting during periods of ample power availability. In a preferred embodiment, the UV light is emitted behind the speaker, passing through and bouncing around the clear speaker mounting bracket, or through holes in the housing/frame bracket. The result is that all internal sections of the earpiece that could harbor bacteria or viruses are exposed to the UV light.
