Abstract:
The present invention enables the sterilization and drying of the mouthpiece and reed of a wind instrument to protect the mouthpiece and reed from bacteria, offensive odors, corrosion or the like caused by the breath or saliva of a player, and thus protecting the health of the player and providing a comfortable environment for playing the wind instrument. To accomplish the above-described aim of the present invention, a device of the present invention comprises a case which has a predetermined shape and is divided into an upper unit and a lower unit. The upper unit is equipped with an ultraviolet lamp or an ultraviolet LED (light-emitting diode) such that the ultraviolet lamp or the ultraviolet LED is powered and emits light when power is supplied thereto so as to sterilize and disinfect the mouthpiece and reed. The lower unit is equipped with a reflector (a metal plate, mirror or the like), and accommodates a mouthpiece and a reed such that the ultraviolet rays emitted by the upper unit can be applied to the rear surfaces of the mouthpiece and the reed to thereby remove moisture and offensive odors remaining on the mouthpiece and reed after playing the wind instrument. The lower unit of the plastic case is equipped with an A/C power source or a battery as means for supplying power to the ultraviolet lamp.
