Abstract
A personal use eyewash apparatus that is comprised of a squeeze bottle, an eyewash adaptor connected to the neck of the squeeze bottle, and an heating element that through electrical cords and a plug in adaptor, plugs into a cigarette lighter receptacle of an automobile. The heating element, using the electricity from the cigarette lighter receptacle, heats a liquid in the squeeze bottle, which enables a person to transport the eyewash apparatus to various locations, while preventing the liquid from freezing.
Description
TITLE:
Personal Use Eyewash Apparatus FIELD
The present invention relates to a bottle containing an eyewash solution that is used to wash chemicals from a person's eyes in the event of an industrial accident.
BACKGROUND
If a chemical gets into a person's eye, the recommended course of treatment is to immediately flush the eye with an eyewash solution, normally water. It is a prudent precaution for workplace safety, to provide workers with eyewash equipment in the workplace. A number of elaborate eyewash apparatus have been developed, such as: an emergency shower and eyewash station with temperature control which is disclosed in United States Patent 7,007,316, and a freeze proof emergency shower unit, disclosed in United States Patent 4,084,270. These apparatus are not practical for workers who are sent to work at remote sites.
SUMMARY
According to the present invention there is provided an eyewash apparatus which is comprised of a squeeze bottle having a neck defining a top opening, an electrical heating element and an eyewash adaptor. The electrical heating element provides heat to the squeeze bottle to heat liquid within the bottle. The electrical heating element has a plug-in adaptor for plugging into a cigarette lighter receptacle of an automobile. The eyewash adaptor mounted to the neck of the bottle is in fluid conununication with the top opening, such that when the bottle is squeezed, liquid in the squeeze bottle is propelled through the top opening into the eyewash adaptor.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
These and other features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, the drawings are for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to in any way limit the scope of the invention to the particular embodiment or embodiments shown, wherein:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
These and other features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, the drawings are for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to in any way limit the scope of the invention to the particular embodiment or embodiments shown, wherein:
THE FIGURE is a side elevation view of the personal use eyewash apparatus.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The preferred embodiment, a personal use eyewash apparatus generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to THE FIGURE.
Structure and Relationship of Parts:
Referring to THE FIGURE, personal use eyewash apparatus 10 includes a squeeze bottle 12, which holds about 200 to 1000 millilitres. Squeeze bottle 12 has a neck 14 which defines a top opening 16. An electrical heating element 18 provides heat to squeeze bottle 12 to heat the liquid within squeeze bottle 12. Additionally, an insulated rubber mold 20 encompasses squeeze bottle 12 and electrical heating element 18. Electrical heating element 18 is connected through electrical cords 21 and 23 to a low voltage shut off 22, and a plug in adaptor 24 respectively. Plug in adaptor 24 is plugged into a cigarette lighter receptacle of an automobile (not shown). An eyewash adaptor 26 is mounted to neck 14 of squeeze bottle 12 in fluid communication with top opening 16, such that when squeeze bottle 12 is squeezed, liquid in squeeze bottle 12 is propelled through top opening 16 into eyewash adaptor 26.
Operation:
Referring to THE FIGURE, when electrical heating element 18 is plugged into a cigarette lighter receptacle of an automobile with plug in adaptor 24, the liquid within squeeze bottle 12 is heated. Insulated rubber mold 20 encompasses squeeze bottle 12 and electrical heating element 18 to keep squeeze bottle 12 heated. When the personal eyewash apparatus is needed, it is held up to the eyes so that the eyes can be flushed with the heated liquid.
Squeeze bottle 12 is squeezed, and the heated liquid in squeeze bottle 12 is propelled through both neck14 and top opening 16 into eyewash adaptor 26 where the heated liquid flushes out the users eyes. Low voltage shut off 22 shuts the off the electrical heating element 18 to protect the automobile battery.
In this patent document, the word "comprising" is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article "a" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be one and only one of the elements.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the illustrated embodiments without departing from scope of the Claims.
