PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a safe ultraviolet irradiation device which keeps the simplification and miniaturization of the device and does not irradiate ultraviolet light not only to workers who are sterilizing gloves but also to workers around the gloves. I will provide a. An ultraviolet irradiating device (10) for irradiating an ultraviolet ray non-transparent glove (G) attached to a hand with ultraviolet rays to sterilize the surface of the glove. A sterilization chamber housing 120 in which an insertion port 130 for inserting gloves is opened, an ultraviolet irradiation lamp 123 for irradiating the sterilization chamber with ultraviolet rays, and a direction extending from the opening edge of the insertion port toward the sterilization chamber for insertion. A sleeve-shaped guide 140 that guides the hand from the mouth into the sterilization chamber and shields the ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation unit from directly entering the eyes of the worker who inserts the glove into the insertion port and the workers around the glove. In order to prevent the ultraviolet light leaking from the opening edge from entering the eyes of the worker and the workers around it, the semitransparent ultraviolet light shielding plates 160 and 170 are provided to cover the front and side surfaces above the insertion opening. [Selection diagram] Figure 2【課題】装置の簡易化・小型化を保持しつつ、手袋の殺菌をしている作業者のみならず、その周囲の作業者に対しても紫外線が照射されることのない安全な紫外線照射装置を提供する。【解決手段】手に装着された状態の紫外線非透過性の手袋Ｇに対し紫外線を照射して当該手袋の表面を殺菌する紫外線照射装置１０。手袋が挿入される挿入口１３０が開口されている殺菌室筐体１２０と、殺菌室に紫外線を照射する紫外線照射ランプ１２３と、挿入口の開口縁から殺菌室内に向かう方向に延出され、挿入口から殺菌室内に手を案内するとともに、紫外線照射部からの紫外線が、挿入口に手袋を挿入する作業者及びその周囲の作業者の目に直接入らないように遮光するスリーブ状のガイド１４０と、開口縁から漏れる紫外線が作業者及びその周囲の作業者の目に入らないように、挿入口の上方の正面及び側面を覆う半透明の紫外線遮光板１６０，１７０とを備える。【選択図】図２
