Abstract
COVID-19 and many other infectious diseases like Flu can spread through by touch. Tennis player exchange the same balls multiple times during the practice or game. For student's safety schools and colleges currently sanitize the balls manually which is a tedious and time taking job. This invention sanitizes the bunch of tennis balls in one go with the push of a buttons and a Knob which control the speed of motor vibration.
Claims
1. Tennis ball Sanitizing machine which sanitizes bunch of tennis balls in one go, comprising: a housing having a double layer base which dampens the vibration and keeps unit at one place; a structure which sits on the base, this structure has a flat rectangular or oval or circular top having two legs, which has an attached box containing the tennis balls that needs to be sanitized; a vibration motor on the bottom other side of base configured to create the necessary vibration to rotate the tennis balls; box with a hole to grip or a handle to carry the unit; an external vibration control knob resides external to the housing which controls the vibration of the motor.
2. The tennis balls sanitizing machine of claim 1, further comprising a separate sanitizing unit two pillars which are attached to square, circular or oval base on each side for stability, two separate pillars on the other end are attached by a horizontal rectangular rod which houses two or more vertical standing containers on the top which holds the sanitizing liquids; containers base having mist plate attached to create the mist; mist circuit attaching to the bottom of the rectangular rod outside of container with On and off switch to turn on or off the mists.
Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRAWING
[0021] FIG. 1 has all components working in harmony. Details of each component is given below:— [0022] 1a represents container having the sanitizer liquid. Containers can be two or more in numbers. They can be of different sizes. [0023] 1b represents container having the sanitizer liquid. Containers can be two or more in numbers. They can be of different sizes. [0024] 1c represents mist sprayer plate which is attached to left liquid container base. [0025] 1d represents mist sprayer plate which is attached to right liquid container base. [0026] 1e represents mist circuit with on and off switch which is attached to left mist sprayer plate by wire. [0027] 1f represents mist circuit with on and off switch which is attached to right mist sprayer plate by wire. [0028] 2a represents mist coming out from the left sprayer container. [0029] 2b represents mist coming out from the right sprayer container. [0030] 3 represents rectangular top which holds the containers. [0031] 4 represents left pillar or stand which are attached to rectangular top and to a square, oval or circular base on other end. [0032] 5 represents right pillar or stand which are attached to rectangular top and to a square, oval or circular base on other end. [0033] 6 represents left square, oval or circular base which is attached to pillars or stand. [0034] 7 represents right square, oval or circular base which is attached to pillars or stand. [0035] 8 represents Tennis balls that needs to be sanitized. [0036] 9 represents a rectangular box which is open from the top is attached to the top of the table base. [0037] 10 represents a table top which holds the vibrating motor underneath and box containing the tennis balls. [0038] 11 represents Table right leg. [0039] 12 represents Table left leg. [0040] 13 represents a vibrator motor. Vibration motor creates vibration to box which in turns vibrates the ball. [0041] 14 represents a knob controlled electric circuit. Knob controls the electric current amount which in turns reduces or increases the vibration of the motor. This helps to ensure enough vibration is created to roll the balls. [0042] 15 represents power outlet to attach vibration motor to outlet. [0043] 16 represents vibration dampener. Vibration to box causes the whole unit to vibrate and hence move and at high vibration it starts to run away. Vibration dampener reduces the vibration and helps machine stay at one place. This makes machine portable, other solution is to screw the unit to a table or floor.
[0044] FIG. 2 depicts the whole Sanitizing unit which comprises of 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 2a, 2b, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. It has a self-standing structure holding the containers and sanitizing plates and circuits to create the mist.
[0045] FIG. 3 depicts vibrator unit which comprises of 8-16. It has a self-standing structure or stool which holds the balls and Vibration motor to rotate the tennis balls.
