Abstract

The sanitization mechanism of the toilet seat is using control circuit(s) to ensure an enclosed compartment between toilet seat and toilet cover then activating UV LEDs to sanitize the toilet seat. In addition to safe operation, fast response and effective sanitization, it can reduce toilet seat paper or restroom chemicals consumption, especially in high traffic public locations.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . The sanitization mechanism of toilet seat, which comprises: UV LEDs, a functional control circuit(s) and the enclosed compartment which formed by toilet seat and toilet cover for UV light to travel and sanitize. 
     
     
         2 . The sanitization mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the wave length of UV LEDs is smaller than 300 nm. 
     
     
         3 . The sanitization mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the operating safety of toilet seat or toilet cover in docking position is ensured by micro switch(s) and/or motion detecting sensor(s) and/or photo sensor(s). 
     
     
         4 . The sanitization mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the inside of enclosed compartment can be further coated with reflective material(s) or titanium dioxide material to enhance the sanitization effectiveness. 
     
     
         5 . The sanitization mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein the control mechanism can be fully automatic or manually controlled with either wired or wireless remote controller.
