Diaper changing tables and methods of using thereof
A changing table comprises a wall assembly and a tray assembly. The wall assembly comprises wall housing, a transparent-to-UV-light panel, and a UV light source. The wall assembly and tray assembly form a changeable angle α in between them. The tray assembly comprises an exterior first surface and an interior second surface. The second surface is configured to receive an infant and at least a portion of UV light generated by the UV light source.
1. A changing table, comprising:
a wall assembly comprising:
a wall housing,
a transparent-to-UV-light panel,
a UV light source positioned between the wall housing and the transparent-to-UV-light panel; and
a tray assembly comprising:
an exterior first surface; and
an interior second surface, wherein the second surface is configured to receive an infant and at least a portion of UV light generated by the UV light source.
2. The changing table according to claim 1 , the tray assembly further comprising a tray layer, the tray layer being disposed between the first surface and the second surface, the tray layer having a concaved formation supporting the second surface.
3. The changing table according to claim 1 , wherein the tray assembly further comprises a front panel forming the first surface of the tray assembly, wherein the front panel is flat and solid.
4. The changing table according to claim 1 , wherein the second surface is concave.
