Abstract
A push plate for moving a flow control valve in a covered eye wash fountain is interconnected with a cover whereby opening the flow control valve also opens the cover while simultaneously providing independent opening and closure of the cover without moving the push plate, and simultaneously providing closure of the flow control valve from an open position without closing the cover. The covered eyewash fountain embodying the present allows the cover to be raised and the fountain inspected, cleaned, serviced, or repaired without opening the flow control valve.

- a flow control valve in fluid communication with said nozzle and movable between an open position and a closed position;
- a push plate connected to said flow control valve and selectively movable between a first position and a second position, said flow control valve being moved to said closed position in response to moving said push plate to the first position, and said flow control valve being moved to said open position in response to moving said push plate to the second position;
- and
- a means for opening said cover disposed over said basin and moving said flow control valve to an open position in response to moving said push plate to the second position, and simultaneously providing independent opening and closure of said cover without moving said push plate, and simultaneously providing closure of said flow control valve by moving said push plate from the second to the first position without closing said cover.
