Abstract:
1. An equipment rack system comprising: a plurality of holders at least including; a base; a vertical column have a first end and a second end; and at least one valve; and wherein said first end of said vertical column extends vertically from said base; wherein said second end of said vertical column comprises a cappable end; wherein said pair of first holders are connected to said vertical column proximate said first end of said vertical column and said base, said pair of first holders inclined outwardly and angled upwardly from said vertical column, said pair of first holders in fluid communication with said vertical column; wherein said pair of second holders are connected to said vertical column above said pair of first holders, said pair of second holders inclined outwardly and angled upwardly from said vertical column, said pair of second holders in fluid communication with said vertical column; wherein said pair of third holders are connected to said vertical column above said pair of second holders, said pair of third holders inclined outwardly and angled upwardly from said vertical column, said pair of third holders in fluid communication with said vertical column; wherein said pair of fourth holders are connected to said vertical column above said pair of third holders, said pair of fourth holders inclined outwardly and angled upwardly from said vertical column, said pair of fourth holders in fluid communication with said vertical column; wherein said pair of fifth holders are connected to said vertical column above said pair of fourth holders, said pair of fifth holders in fluid communication with said vertical column; wherein each of said pair of first holders, said pair of second holders, said pair of third holders, said pair of fourth holders, and said pair of fifth holders comprise a length; wherein fluid apertures are disposed along each said length of each of said pair of first holders, said pair of second holders, said pair of third holders, said pair of fourth holders, and said pair of fifth holders; wherein said vertical column comprises said fluid apertures; wherein at least one fluid is able to pass from said base, through said vertical column and through said plurality of holders such that said at least one fluid can pass through said fluid apertures to treat equipment stored on said plurality of holders; wherein said valve controls a relative flow of said at least one fluid; wherein said base has an inner volume, a first inlet and a second inlet; wherein said vertical column has an interior volume such that said at least one fluid can be passed therethrough using pressure and into said pair of first holders, said pair of second holders, said pair of third holders, said pair of fourth holders, and said pair of fifth holders such that said at least one fluid can be in communication with and treat said equipment to sanitize and air dry said equipment; wherein said first inlet permits entry of steam into said base from a steam-producing source, said steam comprising a first-fluid; wherein said second inlet permits entry of forced air into said base from an air-producing source, said forced air comprising a second-fluid; wherein said valve can be manipulated to control said relative flow of said steam as said first-fluid and said relative flow of said forced air as said second-fluid suitable to treat said equipment to sanitize and air dry said equipment, respectively; and wherein said equipment is placed on said pair of first holders, said pair of second holders, said pair of third holders, said pair of fourth holders, and said pair of fifth holders on said equipment rack during an in-use condition to sanitize and air dry said equipment to neutralize odors, and eliminate bacteria, and germs.
