Patent ID: 8343435

Claim:
A disinfecting system for using solution and a catalyst to disinfect an object, said disinfecting system comprising: a cup configured to retain the solution therein; and a cap assembly engageable with the cup and configured to retain the object as well as the catalyst, said cap assembly comprising a plunger having a cylindrical portion and a portion extending from the cylindrical portion, said plunger being shiftable between a first position for sealing the disinfecting system and a second position for venting the disinfecting system, and a control spring in contact with the plunger when the plunger is in the second position and configured to bias the plunger from the second position to the first position, wherein the disinfecting system is configured such that pressure within the disinfecting system increases as a result of the solution reacting to the catalyst, during which time additive effect enhances tilt disinfection of the object, and during which time the plunger is in said first position, wherein disinfecting system is configured such that pressure within the disinfecting system further increases, thereby causing the plunger to shift from the first position to the second position, thereby causing venting of the disinfecting system, and wherein the disinfecting system is configured such that pressure within the disinfecting system decreases during venting.
