Patent ID: 8703051

Claim:
A method for sanitizing headsets during a period of non-use, each headset including at least one headphone and a headband, the method comprising: mounting the headsets on a support construct, in captured engagement with the support construct, the support construct extending in a longitudinal direction along a prescribed length and having a lateral width and an altitudinal height providing an exterior contour configuration, an interior, and a lateral cross-sectional configuration for the reception of a plurality of headsets mounted and secured in the captured engagement in a row longitudinally along the exterior of the support construct, with each headset straddling the support construct laterally to engage and place the support construct beneath each headset, with each headphone and headband in juxtaposition with the interior of the support construct; activating a source of ultraviolet radiation located within the interior of the support construct; passing ultraviolet radiation from the interior through the support construct to the headsets mounted upon the support construct; and selectively enclosing the support construct and the headsets within an enclosure subsequent to mounting the headsets along the support construct, and prior to activating the source of ultraviolet radiation, such that upon enclosing the headsets mounted upon the support construct within the enclosure and activating the source of ultraviolet radiation, ultraviolet radiation is directed to the headsets for sanitizing the headsets within the enclosure.
