Patent ID: 7888657

Claim:
An apparatus for alternatively disinfecting an object surface and a liquid comprising; a. a hollow handle base housing, b. an electrical power source contained within a hollow interior space of said handle base housing for supplying electrical power to an electrically energizable radiation source, c. a radiation source support structure connected to said handle base housing for supporting a radiation source, d. an electrically energizable radiation source effective in killing microorganisms mounted to said radiation source support structure, e. electrical conductors electrically conductively connected between said power source and said radiation source, and f. a cover releasably attached to said radiation source support structure, said cover having an upper wall effective in blocking radiation emitted upwardly from said radiation source and having an aperture through a lower side of said cover which enables radiation from said radiation source to pass through and irradiate an object surface, said cover being alternatively removable to enable said radiation source to be immersed in and irradiate a liquid, and replaceable to irradiate an object surface.
