Abstract
A self-contained emergency eye wash station for dispensing eye wash fluid contained in a flexible container comprises a housing, a reservoir, and a platen. The housing supports the flexible container and supports a nozzle in fluid communication with the flexible container. The nozzle dispenses the eye wash fluid from the flexible container. The housing includes a drain capturing the eye wash fluid dispensed from the nozzle. The reservoir collects the eye wash fluid captured by the drain, and the reservoir is slidably mounted to the housing. The platen is connected to the reservoir.
The platen is slidably movable relative to the housing and is located immediately above the flexible container. The platen presses downward on the flexible container with a downward force proportional to a weight of the eye wash fluid collected in the reservoir.
The transfer of the weight of the eye wash fluid collected in the reservoir to the platen maintains a constant flow of eye wash fluid dispensed from the nozzle.
The platen is slidably movable relative to the housing and is located immediately above the flexible container. The platen presses downward on the flexible container with a downward force proportional to a weight of the eye wash fluid collected in the reservoir.
The transfer of the weight of the eye wash fluid collected in the reservoir to the platen maintains a constant flow of eye wash fluid dispensed from the nozzle.
Claims (3)
1. An eye wash fluid delivery system, comprising:
a flexible container containing an eye wash fluid and including an outlet;
a nozzle forming an inlet for receiving the eye wash fluid from the container and forming a plurality of apertures in fluid communication with said inlet, said nozzle being switchable from an initial sealed condition blocking said apertures to an open condition exposing said apertures; and a flexible hose extending from said outlet of said flexible container to said inlet of said nozzle.
a flexible container containing an eye wash fluid and including an outlet;
a nozzle forming an inlet for receiving the eye wash fluid from the container and forming a plurality of apertures in fluid communication with said inlet, said nozzle being switchable from an initial sealed condition blocking said apertures to an open condition exposing said apertures; and a flexible hose extending from said outlet of said flexible container to said inlet of said nozzle.
2. The delivery system of claim 1, wherein said nozzle forms a pair of opposing mounting grooves slidably mountable to a slot formed in a nozzle support.
3. The delivery system of claim 1 or 2, further including a seal element removably coupled to said nozzle, said seal element firmly maintaining said nozzle in said initial sealed condition, and further including a seal-breaking element coupled to said seal element for breaking said seal element and switching said nozzle to said open condition.
