Claims4
A portable emergency safety shower comprising a large capacity water supply tank having water-resistant, corrosion-proof, inner and outer surfaces thereof, leg elements extending from the supply tank for supporting said tank, a telescoping series of pipe elements having its large diameter terminal securely connected to an outlet in the upper surface of said tank and having elements of the telescoping series when in the collapsed form positioned within the tank and when in the extended arrangement positioned upwardly from the tank in a generally vertical alignment so that its small diameter terminal is above the tank, a curved pipe connection extending from the small diameter terminal to a shower head element, a pressurized cylinder for storage of air or nitrogen under high pressures therein and being mounted upon a portion of the water supply tank, and a valved conduit connecting said pressurized cylinder to the water supply tank including a manual valve to selectively release and shut off the passage of high pressure gas such as air or nitrogen from the pressurized cylinder to the water supply tank for in turn driving water into the water supply tank through the telescoping series of pipe elements and the shower head element.
