Ozone sanitizing system and method

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to an ozone sanitizing system and method. In one embodiment, a system for sanitizing various objects using ozone gas is disclosed. The system comprises an ozone generating device configured to generate ozone gas for sanitizing one or more objects, and a vessel configured to couple with the ozone generating device for receiving the ozone gas to sanitize the one or more objects stored inside the vessel during an ozone sanitizing cycle. The system is configured to recirculate at least a gas mixture generated during the ozone sanitizing cycle to increase an ozone concentration inside the vessel.

1 . A system for sanitizing various objects using ozone gas, the system comprising:
 an ozone generating device that is portable and configured to generate ozone gas for sanitizing one or more objects, the ozone generating device including air moving circuitry configured to propel at least the ozone gas; and   a vessel configured to receive the ozone gas to sanitize the one or more objects stored inside the vessel during an ozone sanitizing cycle,   wherein the ozone generating device and the one or more objects are sealed in the vessel during the ozone sanitizing cycle, the ozone generating device is activated to deliver the ozone gas into an interior of the vessel via an outlet port of the ozone generating device, and a gas mixture inside the vessel is recirculated via an inlet port of the ozone generating device for additional ozone production.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vessel includes a resealable locking means for providing access to the interior of the vessel in an open position and for preventing ozone gas leakage from the vessel during the ozone sanitizing cycle in a closed position. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the resealable locking means comprises at least one of: a zipper, a double zipper lock, an interlocking rib-type seal, and plastic or paper-lad-wire ties. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the ozone generating device is rechargeable when connected to a power source or a power supplying device. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the ozone generating devices is configured to use a universal serial bus (USB) cable to recharge. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vessel is made of a flexible material. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the ozone generating device is configured to automatically stop generating the ozone gas when the ozone sanitizing cycle completes. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the ozone generating device is configured to provide visual signals to indicate a completeness of the ozone sanitizing cycle. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the ozone generating device is configured to provide audio signals to indicate a completeness of the ozone sanitizing cycle. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the outlet port of the ozone generating device is configured to releasably connect with at least one of the one or more objects during the ozone sanitizing cycle. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one of the one or more objects includes a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask or hose. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the outlet port of the ozone generating device is configured to releasably connect with at least one object via a connecting hose. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the outlet port of the ozone generating device is configured to releasably connect with at least one object directly without using a connecting hose. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the air moving circuitry of the ozone generating device comprises at least one of a fan and an air pump.
