A touch input device includes a container body internally defines a receiving chamber, a touch handle, and a disinfection member received in the receiving chamber for disinfecting the touch handle. The touch handle includes a handle portion and a touch portion, which are made of an electrical insulation material and an electrical conducting material, respectively. The handle portion has a part located in the receiving chamber to serve as an insertion section, and another part of the handle portion is exposed from the receiving chamber to serve as a grip section. The touch portion includes two connected touch sections, one of which is fitted on around the insertion section while the other one is connected to the grip section. When a user grips the touch handle to operate a touch electronic device, current in the user's body flows to the touch portion to increase the convenience in using the touch electronic device.

A device including a body section, the body section comprises a mesh material, the mesh material having an interlaced structure sufficient for blocking ultraviolet (UV) light rays; a frame implement, wherein the frame implement being configured to coil inside the body section to provide a supporting structure for the body section to popup when in use or for the body section to be collapsed for storage; a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) lights for sanitizing or disinfecting; a lid portion; and a fastener, wherein the fastener is configured to connect the lid portion to the body section.

An ultraviolet light fluid treatment device includes an inlet, an outlet, a primary conduit, a secondary conduit, and a light source. The primary conduit connects the inlet and the outlet. The secondary conduit branches off the primary conduit at a first location of the primary conduit and merged with the primary conduit at a second location of the primary conduit. The light source is disposed between the primary conduit and the secondary conduit and configured to emit ultraviolet light, with which a region in the primary conduit is irradiated. A cross-sectional area in the primary conduit orthogonal to a first flow direction of a fluid in the primary conduit at the first location is greater than a cross-sectional area in the secondary conduit orthogonal to a second flow direction of the fluid in the secondary conduit at the first location.
