Abstract
A combination emergency wash and faucet unit includes a base, an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, and a spout pivotally coupled to the base. The emergency wash arm includes an emergency wash unit. The emergency wash arm is rotatable relative to the base about a first vertical axis between a stored position and an active position. The spout is rotatable relative to the base about a second vertical axis. The first vertical axis is substantially parallel to the second vertical axis and offset from the second vertical axis. Movement of the emergency wash arm causes a corresponding movement of the spout.
Claims20
A combination emergency wash and faucet unit, comprising:
- a base;
- an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, the emergency wash arm including an emergency wash unit, wherein the emergency wash arm is rotatable relative to the base about a first vertical axis between a stored position and an active position;
- a spout pivotally coupled to the base, wherein the spout is rotatable relative to the base about a second vertical axis, wherein the first vertical axis is substantially parallel to the second vertical axis and offset from the second vertical axis,
- wherein movement of the emergency wash arm causes a corresponding movement of the spout.
A combination emergency wash and faucet unit, comprising:
- a base;
- an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, the emergency wash arm including an emergency wash unit;
- a spout coupled to the base;
- a stop repositionable relative to the base between a first stop position and a second stop position,
- wherein, when the stop is in the first stop position, the emergency wash arm is permitted to move away from the spout in a first direction, and the stop limits movement of the emergency wash arm in the first direction when the emergency wash arm reaches a first stored position;
- and
- wherein, when the stop is in the second stop position, the emergency wash arm is permitted to move away from the spout in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the stop limits movement of the emergency wash arm in the second direction when the emergency wash arm reaches a second stored position.
A combination emergency wash and faucet unit, comprising:
- a base, comprising:
- a main body;
- and
- a hub movably coupled to the main body and defining a control surface;
- an emergency wash arm coupled to the hub, the emergency wash arm including an emergency wash unit;
- a spout coupled to the main body;
- and
- a valve assembly coupled to the main body, the valve assembly including a valve element that controls a flow of a fluid through the spout,
- wherein the valve assembly engages the control surface, and wherein the control surface is shaped such that movement of the hub repositions the valve element to limit the flow of the fluid through the spout.
