Claim 11:
12. An enclosed fixture for an ultraviolet (“UV”) emission element, the enclosed fixture comprising:
a housing in which the UV emission element is arranged, the housing having a lateral edge configured to extend across a moveable surface of a conveyor system;
a suspension bracket that is mounted to the housing via a biasing member, the suspension bracket extending in a direction across the moveable surface along the lateral edge, the suspension bracket further having a flange that extends in the direction along the lateral edge;
a barrier bracket that is arranged along the lateral edge of the housing, the barrier bracket being arranged to contact the flange of the suspension bracket,
the barrier bracket having a first position in which the barrier bracket applies pressure to the flange of the suspension bracket in a direction away from the moveable surface of the conveyor system, wherein the pressure applied by the barrier bracket extends the biasing member, and
the barrier bracket having a second position in which the flange of the suspension bracket applies pressure to the barrier bracket in a direction towards the moveable surface of the conveyor system, wherein the pressure applied by the suspension bracket is applied via a contraction of the biasing member; and

an absorptive barrier supported via the barrier bracket, wherein:
in the first position of the barrier bracket, the absorptive barrier contacts the moveable surface of the conveyor system and the barrier bracket activates an interlock switch,
in the second position of the barrier bracket, the barrier bracket deactivates the interlock switch.
