Case for sanitizing and transporting products

1 . A storage and sanitizing case, comprising:

a cover and a base, the cover is connected to the base for pivotal movement relative thereto, the cover including side walls and the base includes side walls;

a cover tray positioned within the cover, the cover tray comprises a UV permeable material and includes a recess, first and second short side walls and first and second long side walls depending from a cover tray top wall, and an outwardly extending flange structure extending to an edge of the cover so as to completely fill space defined by the cover;

a base tray within the base for supporting products within the case, the base tray comprises a UV permeable material and includes first and second short side walls and first and second long side walls depending from a base tray bottom wall, and an outwardly extending flange structure extending to an edge of the base so as to completely fill space defined by the base, wherein the cover tray and base tray align when the case is closed so as to define a cavity in which a product is retained, wherein the short side walls and long side walls of the cover tray align with the short side walls and long side walls of the base tray;

internal surfaces of the cover tray and the base tray are covered in a UV reflective material to enhance transmission;

a plurality of product gripping supports comprising a UV permeable material and being secured to the base tray, each of the plurality of gripping supports further includes a support base and first and second support arms extending upwardly, first and second bracket arms are respectively pivotally secured to the first and second support arms, and a securing band extends between the first and second bracket arms;

an electronic circuit board and an actuator connected to the circuit board; and

at least four ultraviolet lights connected to the electronic circuit board wherein the actuator transmits a signal to the circuit board when the cover is closed upon the base causing power to be applied to the ultraviolet lights, the at least four ultraviolet lights including two ultraviolet lights secured along an interior surface of the base, between the base and the first long side wall of the base tray, in parallel alignment with the first and second long side walls of the base tray, and two ultraviolet lights respectively secured along an interior surface of the cover along a cover wall in parallel alignment with opposed the first and second short side walls of the cover, wherein surfaces of the base tray and the cover tray adjacent to the ultraviolet lights are left untreated to allow for passage of UV radiation into the cavity defined by the base tray and cover tray, and the first and second long side walls of the cover tray, the cover tray top wall, the first and second short side walls of the base tray, the second long side wall of the base tray, and the base tray bottom wall are covered in the UV reflective material to enhance transmission of UV light to the surfaces of the product requiring sanitizing.

2 . The storage and sanitizing case according to claim 1 , further including a plurality of vertically oriented support posts upon which products may be secured.

3 . The storage and sanitizing case according to claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of posts are made of quartz allowing for the passage of UV-C light therethrough.
