Abstract
Various apparatus and methods for providing emergency washing including means for discouraging tampering of the various valves.
Claims26
A system for emergency washing, comprising:
- a first enclosure having a downward pivoting emergency eyewash assembly, a pivoting door attached to the underside of said eyewash assembly, said first enclosure including a shutoff valve having an outlet in fluid communication with said eyewash assembly and an inlet, said first enclosure including a drain;
- a shower;
- an second enclosure that is located to a side of said first enclosure, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve located within said second enclosure, said mixing valve including an inlet for hotter water, and inlet for colder water, and an outlet for mixed water, said mixing valve providing mixed water to said shower;
- a conduit that provides fluid communication from the bottom of said second enclosure to the drain of said first enclosure;
- and
- a first fluid flowpath providing fluid communication from the mixing valve outlet to the shutoff valve inlet, and a second fluid flowpath providing fluid communication from the bottom of said second enclosure to the drain.

A system for emergency washing, comprising:
- a top enclosure having a locking door the protects a first enclosed volume and including a first valve located in the first volume, said first valve including a first inlet for water, a first outlet for providing water from the inlet, and second outlet for providing water from the inlet, said first valve being actuatable between a first position placing the first inlet and first outlet in fluid communication and a second position placing the first inlet and second outlet in fluid communication;
- a shower;
- a bottom enclosure located underneath said top enclosure and having a downward pivoting emergency eyewash assembly in fluid communication with said first outlet, and a pivoting tray adapted and configured to collect water spraying from said eyewash assembly, said bottom enclosure including a drain in fluid communication with the second outlet;
- an adjacent enclosure that is located to the side of said bottom enclosure, and
- a thermostatically controlled mixing valve located within said adjacent enclosure, said mixing valve providing tempered temperature water to said shower.

A system for emergency washing, comprising:
- an emergency eyewash assembly having an inlet (ee) and at least one outlet (ee) adapted and configured for providing an upwardly directed spray of water;
- a shower nozzle adapted and configured for providing a downward spray of water;
- a first enclosure having a door covering the interior of said first enclosure;
- a thermostatically controlled mixing valve located within the interior, said mixing valve including an inlet (mvh) for hotter water, and inlet (mvc) for colder water, and an outlet (mvo) for mixed water, the outlet (mvo) providing mixed water to the inlet (ee);
- a first shutoff valve located within the interior and having an inlet (sv1), an outlet (sv1), and an actuating member (sv1) movable to a first state permitting fluid communication from the inlet (sv1) to the outlet (sv1) and a second state discouraging fluid communication from the inlet (sv1) to the outlet (sv1), the outlet (sv1) being in fluid communication with the inlet (mvh);
- a second shutoff valve located within the interior and having an inlet (sv2), an outlet (sv2), and an actuating member (sv2) movable to a first state permitting fluid communication from the inlet (sv2) to the outlet (sv2) and a second state discouraging fluid communication from the inlet (sv2) to the outlet (sv2), the inlet (sv2) being in fluid communication with the outlet (mvo), the outlet (sv2) providing mixed water to said shower nozzle;
- and
- a handle movable outside of the interior from a first position to a second position and adapted and configured for actuation of said first shutoff valve and said second shutoff valve;
- wherein in the first position the actuating member (sv1) and the actuating member (sv2) are each in the first state, and in the second position the actuating member (sv1) and the actuating member (sv2) are each in the second state.

A system for emergency washing, comprising:
- a first enclosure having a downward pivoting emergency eyewash assembly, a pivoting door attached to the underside of said eyewash assembly, said first enclosure including a shutoff valve having an outlet in fluid communication with said eyewash assembly and an inlet, said first enclosure including a drain;
- a shower;
- an second enclosure that is located to a side of said first enclosure, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve located within said second enclosure, said mixing valve including an inlet for hotter water, and inlet for colder water, and an outlet for mixed water, said mixing valve providing mixed water to said shower;
- a first fluid flowpath providing fluid communication from the mixing valve outlet to the shutoff valve inlet, and a second fluid flowpath providing fluid communication from the bottom of said second enclosure to the drain;
- and
- a third enclosure located above said first enclosure and having a locking door the protects a top enclosed volume, said first flowpath extending through the top enclosed volume.

A system for emergency washing, comprising:
- a first enclosure having a downward pivoting emergency eyewash assembly, a pivoting door attached to the underside of said eyewash assembly, said first enclosure including a first shutoff valve having an outlet in fluid communication with said eyewash assembly and an inlet, said first enclosure including a drain;
- a shower;
- an second enclosure that is located to a side of said first enclosure, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve located within said second enclosure, said mixing valve including an inlet for hotter water, an inlet for colder water, and an outlet for mixed water;
- and
- a first fluid flowpath providing fluid communication from the mixing valve outlet to the first shutoff valve inlet, and a second fluid flowpath providing fluid communication from the bottom of said second enclosure to the drain;
- wherein said second enclosure includes a locking door and a second shutoff valve located within said second enclosure, said second shutoff valve being actuatable between opened and closed positions and receiving mixed water from the outlet of said mixing valve and providing mixed water to said shower when actuated to the opened position, and a handle adapted and configured to actuate said second shutoff valve.
